Trump has heard, somewhere, "Just be confident and they will believe you". He also heard "tell them what you think they want to hear." Trump is not intelligent, not great at speaking or arguing. But he knows how to act confident and not care. It works for him.
The listener doesn't care if some of the things he says are inaccurate, as long as they percieve it as they generally, vaguely, agree on things. And he is confident, he will get things done, take action. The listener has also been told that democrats eat children, will murder you in your sleep and lie just as much as their guy. The listener often lacks the means to verify what is being said. But it doesn't matter. They agree on principle.
