Well if you are a US outsider you probably know a lot less about what is like to be in the US.

Not understanding why Trump was considered a 'outsider' and 'non-establishment' is just a tip of the iceberg. It is very very easy to understand why people viewed him this way. If people don't know this then they don't know a lot of other things they should.

One of the major reasons that Trump won was because he wasn't a professional politician. His competitors had somewhere between 20-50 years of being lying sacks of shit politicians. Almost none of them have any life experience outside of law and running for office.

He had 0 years.

So it was very easy for him to attack other people on their shitty track records and they couldn't act in kind.

Once he had 4 years of being a lying sack of shit then it was easier for them to counter him. His original tactics were much less effective second time around.

Anyone who had even a cursory glance at Trump's history, particularly his legal history, already knew he was a lying sack of shit.
