Hollywood movie syndrome
I often hear women (and, I would guess, some men) observe that their outlook and expectations about romantic relationships were influenced, unrealistically, by what they grew up seeing depicted in romantic Hollywood movies.
I don't question that. Because I think Trump supporters have gone through the same thing. Think of all the movies and TV shows where the guy with no talent, no training, no formal knowledge of a job gets a chance to show all those snooty know-it-alls that through sheer pluck and good-heartedness he could defy impossible odds and win the karate tournament, join the college football team, woo the prettiest girl, keep the savings and loan from going under, strike it rich in the stock market... you get the idea. I mean, if Luke can blow up the Death Star, and Harry can defeat Voldemort, who's to say Trump can't Make America Great Again?
It's a nice fantasy but it's just that ... a fantasy. In the three-dimensional world you need to know something about what you're getting into, listen to others who have experience, and don't promise stuff you can't deliver. Pluck and good-heartedness are great, but Trump has neither.
Sorry to say, Trumpsters, but you fell for a Hollywood story that's about as realistic as "Pretty Woman."
