For a man with so many avowed enemies, isn't it also amazing that Donald Trump is the most popular politician in the United States? Don't believe it? Go check out the polls.
There is, of course, no universally admired politician in the U.S. But "The Donald" comes as close as anyone does.
There is no other politician who can fill a stadium like Trump. It's something a Taylor Swift or Bruce Springsteen could do easily.
In considering Trump to be a politician, we overlook that he is also an entertainer, and a good one. Somewhere along the way he learned to "read the room" and deliver what the audience wants to hear.
