Have you seen the Star Wars episode of the Apprentice? This was during the big hype for the remakes. It was a terrifying episode that let us see into the mind of the mad man, for he understood how to use star wars to sell crap based on people's fandoms. It was stupidly effective. It was an eye opening episode at just how pervasive nerd marketing was, in the early 2000s.
Then when he ran for president, that God Emperor of Man meme showed up, and all the 40k fans were on board. 40k fans on average have : A masters degree, are in the key demographic of 18-40, and are playing a game that has peer reviewed studies showing it stimulates both sides of the brain and makes you smarter.
This man knows how to manipulate the media, I would not be surprised if the fights in the republicans are all another trick of his. Notice Chris Christie will no longer be governor of new jersy, and jersy is getting ass raped by trump?
