I think I've been pretty clear that I'm not a Trump supporter, but having watched this video I kinda get why some people are.
Watch the whole thing, and forget that it's Trump.
Imagine any other politician making that many self deprecating remarks in that time frame... He mocks himself and his wealth, while also praising working class people.
Nobody voting Trump thinks Trump is one of them, but he at least seems to pretend that he sees them, and cares about them. Whether or not it's reality is not actually that important. All of us know politicians lie to get elected. Trump is open about lying, but genuinely tries to come across as honest about his lying.
To bring this back to the CAF, when the CO, XO, and Cox'n are standing there serving Sundaes on Sunday, nobody thinks that the command team went down into the freezers, pulled the ice-cream and toppings, then set up the streamline/table. We all know they showed up when things were set-up for them, scooped some ice-cream, then went back to their normal jobs. Trump openly mocks that about his stops... People like that.
