He’s good at it and often renders it “entertaining,” which makes all that hate go down easy. As many writers have noted over the years, Trump appeals to people who aren't particularly interested in politics or policies, but who are pleased to have their prejudices supported and enjoy the show of Trumpian invective directed against anyone who might find their views deplorable.

Does Frasier Crane listen to Donald Trump? From Melanie McFarland:  As open as he’s been about his right-wing politics, you’ll notice he hasn’t appeared on the Trump Train next to Scott Baio, Kid Rock or Antonio Sabato, Jr. – yet. If the actor were to spell out his reasons for supporting Trump now – even in the wake of his 91 indictments, fomenting an insurrection and declaring he’ll turn the U.S. into a dictatorship – Trump would celebrate Grammer’s endorsement on the campaign trail like he celebrated the “Roseanne” revival’s success. [Read more](~/AASU4wA~/RgRnWX7WP0RoaHR0cHM6Ly9saW5rLndoZXJlYnkudXMvdDE4ZWVqcmhpdi8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPXFxMGZ4bjFsMHgmbGhfZW09dHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODUlNDBnbWFpbC5jb21XA3NwY0IKZXPY-XZlf0YIZFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo).
