I'm sure that ratty stage set -- which is what it is -- is intended to promote the notion that he's not a fancy pants elitist like all those eastern librul Democrats. Maybe the underlying psychology is related to the way he talks -- he can barely put together a coherent English sentence; likewise, he appears to live in a dump, so maybe all of this makes the non-rich Republicans who aren't his "real" base think, hey, if a guy who talks worse than me and has a crappier shed can be President, I must be hot chit, too. Or something like that. But I'd agree, it's all kind of insulting.
