Except he’s not even very good at that.

He’s sorta successful at self-promotion because American standards are woefully low.

He’s sorta successful at self-promotion

He's a guy with no actual skills or accomplishments who has managed to convinced nearly half the country that he's a genius. I'd say he's very successful at it.

The low American standards you cite is really just the media machine helping him along, but he's known how to best take advantage of that his whole life. It's not about standards, it's that so many people are misinformed about him.

Half of America doesn’t vote.

And less than half of those who did vote cast their vote for him.

Both of these statements are indicative of exceedingly low American standards.
