Not one person enraptured with this huckster cares how he will do it. It is like the fake "wrestling" matches. His crowd loves it in all its low brow glory. They love the violence, the chest beating and the show. They don't even care if it is real as long as they are temporarily distracted from their problems. They want someone who is bigger than life who can help them suspend reality and Donald delivers. Their satisfaction comes from the fight itself and the shared hatred and destruction of a common enemy. Actually solving problems never comes up.
