People seem baffled by the manner in which Trump manipulates life - coming out unscathed time after time.

How could a growing list of indictments result in more people saying they will vote for him?

You could reason that Trump is successful based on false promises, coercion, aligning himself with those who would most defend him because they align with his dysfunctional behavior - or an endless litany of strange and unexplained characterizations.
