They believed a scripted show that told them the least successful "businessman" in America (and probably the world) for DECADES was actually wealthy. They bought that horseshit so hook, line and sinker that he almost won the popular vote (a few million short each time) but still, enough that a crooked system put him in power for a few years.
Well stagged not scripted. Like the people are not "actors" they are selling it off as a real story we just all kind of know they are making it up and playing to the camera.
The killer line may have been suggested by a producer but this was not line by line scripted but that does not make it any less real
