An Egyptian matron was recently asked: “Why do so many Egyptians love Trump?” “Because he is so good-looking,” she replied. Clearly, her taste in men is in need of some serious repair. But, be that as it may, such breathtaking frivolity and air-headedness can hardly explain the phenomenon. There must be some other, more substantive, reasons. What could those be? We can only speculate –

1. Many Egyptians associate the Democratic Party of the US with the disastrous takeover of Egypt by the Muslim Brotherhood in 2012
2. Trump shows affection to president El-Sissi, who is popular in Egypt
3. The ostentatious wealth of Trump dazzles the simple-minded; they believe it to be a sign of God’s favor
4. As a real-estate salesman, Trump knows how to butter up the customer while screwing him. And this seems to work well with third-world pumpkins
5. People who speak the loudest about moral rectitude (like most Egyptians) are usually the ones who care the least about it
6. Many Egyptians are predisposed to obscurantism, anti-factualism, wishful thinking, and living in alternate universes, … all hallmarks of the Trumpian ethos
7. …

These are some guesses, and there may be others. But in defense of the good lady mentioned at the outset, I have personally witnessed at least a couple of situations that bear out her thinking.

  1. There are certainly other reasons uncle. Some of which include the fear of gas prices, health insurance cost, and taxes all going up…. shows what most people really care about.
    I would say #1 trumpets everything else.
