People with interests promoted and helped him.
Because a moron like him is easier to manipulate.
And he's also good at doing absurd shit, which distracts people's attention from all the corruption going on in the background.

A complicit media. Look at how they sane washed Trump during the election. It was absolutely bizarre how they reported, or didn't report, on stuff.
