People wanted change and they certainly got that. I don't think it's too unbelievable to see him getting 70+ mil votes. The country is deeply divided, was long before trump and will be long after him.

His opposition in the media and general public, who similarly with the brexit debate resort to insults and in his case actually never accept him as president merely fuels his supporters.

It's fascinating TV to watch
The thing is he wasn't actually good for the economy. He was good for the stock market by pumping a bubble full or loans etc.

The problem was his actual base wouldn't see that they'd see a line going up on a chart which has zero real affect on them and say wow look how good the economy is!
