Trump has created a dynamic for his supporters where the more seemingly victimized he is, the better.
He’s a victim because he’s strong and has stirred the hornet’s nest in a way no one else would dare.
He’s a victim because the system is rigged against him and anyone who challenges it.
He’s a victim because he’s so closely identified with his supporters, who have been, likewise, allegedly treated unfairly by large-scale economic and social forces. “We will be attacked,” he told his fans at his announcement. “We will be slandered. We will be persecuted just as I have been.”
In other words, Trump’s self-described victimhood accords with his populism, which tends to see people, writ large, as being victimized by a corrupt elite.
Weak. Wimps.
