I quote from your post "every time he said something ridiculous during the Republican Nominations, his popularity rating increased, so is he just giving the people what they want?"
Do you have any doubt on that ? Trump is a demagogue, as Erdogan, they go with the flow.

@eyass Considering your Demagogue label, do you think he is as bad as is being made out in the Press (at least the UK press)..
Hell no. I don't think he is BAD. I think he lacks tact. The issues that he brings up are real issues in America, and other places around the world, but going full steam against the other 50% that will not vote for you is a big risk. That's one of the pitfalls of democracy. If he wins, lets say by 51%, what about the other 49% that don't agree with a words he says ?
But, the media is unfair towards him, for I listened to what he says, and it is logical in a way, although I am immigrant myself, I can relate to the feelings of someone seeing his nation being deluded and invaded from the four corner of the world.
Interesting perspective, and your exactly right, this is not an America only issue.
Brexit was 52:48 and there is resonably large divisions forming politically and socially, although us Brits generally suck it up and do as we are told (the bunch of wimps we are), so that should be that for us.
Your not the first immigrant to voice that opinion, we have many immigrant in the UK against our immigration policy. I still believe it mostly comes down to economic prosperity amongst the working class in society, and these views/problems would not be as acute, if they hadn't have been left behind the last 2 decades...
You know when this election show started up, I used to look at Trump as the clown of the show, the one that's so freaking ridiculous it makes the other dumb candidates look bright. However, as this reality show unfolds, I can see him being elected, specially with the latest events, the attack in France and Belgium, the police shooting.
People are left to choose between Hillary the witch and Trump the big mouth ... not much of choice eh :) having to choose between two scum bags.
@eyass Had to look up what a demagogue was. Seems about right..
