Not just that. As much as he comes across as an idiot, he also comes across as "frank", to the point.

The reason the Billy Bush thing didn't destroy him is that he doesn't obfuscate the way politicians do. The coverup is often bigger than the crime. There is no cover up, he simply refuses to give us his tax return.

Also, he comes across as someone who might be able to bring jobs back.

Remember, this was the least popular president ever, received 3 million votes less than the loser. This was not a Ronald Reagan victory. There is no indication that those who voted for him did so for any other reason than that they hoped he might be better.
