Trump is a celebrity. Hes unpredictable and on a political level is an element of uncertainty. Republicans are known for looking down upon the poor and minorities. This is why Romney got in trouble with them and pretty much wrote off the other 47% of the nation. Trump is in truth an outsider who mostly does business with Republicans opposed to Democrats (even though Hillary is a dem who he mostly donated to). As a businessman, he plays both sides and looks to side with the winner or the person who will best have his favor at heart. He came into the GOP because he understands that as a third party you cannot get close to the majority vote without being apart of the two party system. Essentially, he hijacked the Republican party and told them he would split their vote if they did not endorse him for president. Both parties will need to restructure after Trump, but the Republican party will need to go through with its restructuring process after him. Hes quite liberal in a way most republicans wont understand. His temperament is very aggressive though, which neo-conservatives tend to relate to.

I dont think the fact that hes a celebrity has anything to do with it. Hillary had most of Hollywood speaking for her. He is as you say unpredictable and on a political level is an element of uncertainty. I think thats what drew alot people towards him. They would rather have an outsider with no connections to their current government, than someone who to them represents everything wrong with it. Im not an american and if I was, Im not sure who I would have voted for. Probably a third party candidate. I just think people should give the person who is going to be their next president the benefit of the doubt. Im not quite sure what you mean by "he hijacked the Republican party and told them he would split their vote if they did not endorse him for president". That must have been something he said after he already was a popular candidate. Otherwise you cant just come in and say that. It doesnt mean anything.

Trump got the nationalists and the vote of most people without college education. Trump has connections with the government, but more of lobbying variety as well. Hes erratic and narcissistic.
