It's all connected and it goes back to the Bush administration.

The Tea Party was basically a rebellion against the Bush era Republican party and they did all they could to cleanse the party of anyone in that circle.
The Tea Party gave us Sarah Palin and the other un-serious political characters that paved the way for Trump. The Tea Party tried to stop Trump from being the nominee, but once he won they joined forces.
Yeah, the Bush admin was evil in their international meddling, but Trump and the tea party are pretty much diametrically opposed to that era of Republican governing, and are full down the American isolationism path.
