26. It is easy

If the guy is a racist, he will admire the guy who is making it cool again to be a racist.

If the guy is a woman abuser or rapist, he could admire Trump for that.

If the guy is a pedophile, or perhaps is struggling with such demons, he can appreciate Trump for legitimizing his pedo feelings and actions.

If he is a person who has been a habitual under-achiever throughout his life, he can take satisfaction in the guy who celebrates ignorance and attacks science and intellectual achievement daily.

I know many veterans who fall into NONE of these categories. But I think most veterans would acknowledge the military tends to attract people with one or more of these tendencies. And now that we have ICE, that list is basically the complete job description.
