Trump is where he is because everyone, from all sides, underestimated him.
I think most people didn't underestimate him but the stupidity of the american voter.
The problem is that he is a stable and smart racist, misogynist, dictatorial bully with a personality disorder.
The narcissist personality disorder is such that he cannot process anything that doesn't glorify his own sense of self. He lives in an alternate reality...Alternative realities are never stable, everytime his reality is questioned the fight to reconstruct it begins (with all it's twitter glory)

Trump is where he is because everyone, from all sides, underestimated him. He is stable and really smart. The problem is that he is a stable and smart racist, misogynist, dictatorial bully with a personality disorder.
The narcissist personality disorder is such that he cannot process anything that doesn't glorify his own sense of self. He lives in an alternate reality where the bad things did not happen to him. Things like the bankruptcies, being sued for fraud, sexual assaults, failure to win a majority vote, low ratings, hair loss etc just did not happen. His perception is that anyone who mentions these things or criticises him must be lying and therefore must be trying to destroy him. His response to that is to attack and to attack with malevolence.
Narcissism is almost a prerequisite to be a politician, or a news media star. Trump, however, excels due to his extreme narcissism combined with sadistic malevolence. He really enjoys seeing his enemies suffer and enjoys ridiculing the weak and disadvantaged.
