What's wrong with Donald Trump?

Is Donald Trump a narcissist, a psychopath, or simply a selfish ashole? This question interests many people, both in mainstream and alternative media. I think it would be more interesting to understand why so many people vote for him. And why do evangelical Christians vote for him, a man whose main interests are money, women, and power? 

Is it because people want a strong leader who can guide them, serving as a father figure—a commander, a boss, a guru? It doesn't matter where they end up. Someone has to take the lead. He can lead them straight into hell, if he wants to. And everyone is happy that they have a group to belong to. This social behaviour is an inheritance from our distant ape past, I suppose. We share many similarities with our close chimpanzee relatives.

However, some people don't want to lead, and they don't want to be led. They didn't vote for Trump, nor did they vote for Kamala Harris. They didn't bother to vote. They are independent losers.
