1. America is tired of having a weak leader who does not stand up for American interests globally. Mr. Obama's agenda is not the national security of the United States. On the contrary, it is some 'progressive' goal of reducing American power worldwide. Our domestic safety has been weakened as well and the people know it, no matter what Obama says. The main job of the federal government is to provide for the common defense. Mr. Obama has not lived up to that mandate. They believe Mr. Trump will do this magnificently.
2. America is tired of uncontrolled immigration. This anger cuts across party and socioeconomic lines. Americans are not racist; they just want immigrants to follow the law and the government to enforce those laws. Obviously the Obama administration has had no intention of doing so. African-Americans and other minorities are hurt by people coming in doing jobs for nothing. It's not that Americans don't want jobs, they just want to be paid a decent amount for them. Besides the economic angle, the White House has an agenda of changing the demographics of the country. That has made people livid. Mr. Trump is the only one that will say it.
3. America wants a smaller federal government that is not fascist. Having the IRS, the federal tax agency with enormous power, attack the political opposition, is fascism. It's not the only federal agency that has done so. People want the government out of their lives. They want to be free. They want this smaller government to do what it does well. This administration is incompetent, whether you look at the VA, the Secret Service, Obamacare, et cetera. They don't have confidence in the executive branch. On the flip side, they think Trump can get it done.
