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