I watched a clip of how Trump handled the protesters. They played right into his hands and he spun their protest into huge rallying points for his supporters.

"Go home and get a job"

"These are not the people that made America great. We will make America great, not these people"

Trump seems to have a great sense for off the cuff populist rallying points and is slicing and dicing his opponents up. There seem to be a lot of Americans who want the swagger and bravado back in the American identity. It isn't dissimilar to Putin's strategy of building popular support.
