I am obviously not a psychologist, but I am pretty sure Trump has some kind of pathological thought processes that make him very good at manipulating people to his will. I don't think he is overly intelligent or has a systematic plan, but I think it just comes naturally to him. I see the use of humour as a way to test support for ideas without having to seem committed to them and as a way to warm people up to ideas that would otherwise be quickly dismissed. Humour is a technique a lot of people use to make people more comfortable with ideas that are scary.
