      They never want to be popular by actually helping people. They’re popular by spreading hate and fear. If you’re a member of a group that they consider “inferior”, you’re very much a target.

      The only people he cares about being popular with are extreme right wing fanatics and other billionaires who are propping him up. All of these people have a weird “survival of the fittest” fetish so they probably won’t be pushing to help anyone who actually needs it
