that's called "saying what you mean and meaning what you say". It's considered evidence of manhood.

It's the way bullies who are used to not being contradicted talk.
And its the way people who want to be led by bullies like to be spoken to. I knew this man was unfit to be President when I heard how he insulted the other Republicans who opposed him in the primaries, and how he said things (like Cruz's father was involved in the JFK assassination) that were obviously false. But what really scared me not was that he said those things, there is after all, no shortage of mean, crazy and stupid people in the world. No, what really scared me was how many people really ate this up, cheered him on. They saw it as honest, refreshing, direct, "cool".

He makes me ashamed of my country--not because he's crazy, stupid and mean, (lots of people are born that way) but because that's what so many Americans actually want in a leader. They elected a President just like them, or just like what they wanted to be if they ever achieved power: white trash with money.
