24. His "base" are the deplorables Hillary talked about.

They're the racists, the xenophobes, the ultra-wealthy, evangelical "christians", and so forth. They comprise about 33% of the American people. So Trump's entire presidency is all about appeasing that 33% of the population. The other 66% of the country? They can go to hell. Trump knows his poll numbers will never get any higher than they are right now. He doesn't care. He never wanted the job in the first place. This was just his ultimate ego stroke, but through Russian interference, gerrymandering, and voter suppression, he mistakenly "won" the election. Now his first and only term is totally devoted to giving the far right-wing in America everything they've been salivating over for years. The rest of the country? It can come crumbling down to the ground. HE DOESN'T CARE!

His long term goal is starting a broadcasting company that serves those 33%. One that goes even farther to the right than FAUX News. A broadcasting system for the super-rich, evangelical "christians", and the mentally defective bigots that make up his "base". He envisions huge profits from catering to these vermin, and he's probably correct.
