    Combined with the his personal story and the optics he employs, his illiteracy makes him easier to identify with.

    One concept that I see him pushing recently (the last few years?) is that his success is not attributable to the talent native to him as much as it is to his work ethic. This is awesome imo and I hope that he keeps it up.

    Indeed it makes it easier for me to identify with him.
    True on the excellence part, that is why I have followed him.

    Still he doesn't just generate love but he also generates hate, for a guy with his lack of ability to get his point across that is astounding.

    You are right though people can't relate to perfection or even getting that close to perfection in a field of their interest, the flaws he has do make it easier to relate

              And that hate generates revenue. That's the thing I can't account for (other than pure ******ity); if you dislike someone intensely, why would you want to fatten to his coffers by patronizing his business. If some sumb1tch I can't stand opens a restaurant, I'm certainly not going there for a sammich, lol.

                  I think he could spell clitoris.
