i'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you've watched at least one of his rallies before forming this opinion. i've seen dozens of his rallies and i can honestly say he's genuine. the fact he's following through on all of his campaign promises proves this.

Give me all your liquid asessets and I'll build a tower. It'll be the best tower you've ever seen. People they say, they say, 'Trump. He builds towers like no one else!'. Why do they say that? Because they know I build great towers. It will be Yuge! *knows exactly which contractors to call to make the building with illegal labour and shitty construction material*

They all do that in public, but what decides who will lead is determined in private. Think of this conversation taking place:

>right lads, i'm gonna run for leader, because...
Every candidate has to fill in that last bit convincingly to get the support of the party, movement, whatever. There are others also filling in that last bit, and while cronyism, nepotism and stuff like that is a factor, people usually give way to emotional arguments more than rational arguments. For the left this is often a barrage of sob stories, for the right this is more likely to be a barrage of boasts designed to instill confidence.

When you start trying to run, the first thing you're asked is "where is your money gonna come from?" You have to do fundraising. This can be grassroots, door-to-door donations (eg. Obama) or it can be fundraising events, galas etc, where you effectively sell access to powerful politicians (eg. Giuliani), or maybe you already have the money from other enterprises (eg. Trump). The fundraising methods differ but the arguments used to exert influence will tend to depend on which side you are trying to take charge of.
