Many people voted for Trump because he isn't an establishment politician. In the EU referendum the political establishment said "Don't do it!" and a lot of people said "FUCK YOU WE'RE GONNA DO IT!". US election rolls up, the establishment says "Don't vote for Trump because X/Y/Z" and people think "fuck you, I'll vote for him if I want to".

His supporters think that because he is not part of the political establishment he will represent them better and 'make America great again'. I'm afraid though that Donald Trump is only interested in his own interests.

The thing that really surprises me is that so many women voted for him.
