It was honestly kind of creepy in retrospect how much the country was told to worship him or face the consequences. It was basically the Biden level workshop, but a more or less well spoken younger man as opposed to a shambling corpse.
Kind of the same reason he has had almost zero political traction since leaving office. A lot of his support was just the system saying you loved him
