we know they're mediocre and they can't stand that we know it. Trump allows them to say, "See you effete liberals, I'm not mediocre. I'm better than all the women and all the black people out there. That means I'm superior. That freaky looking guy says so!"

They are ANGRY at us for knowing what they are, but they HATE themselves.
