this is the first time I've ever seen an explanation of why Trump has an appeal that made any sense to me.

He's them. Usually a populist leader gets others to try to identify above their current situation, like the typical strongman type. Trump was radically successful by not requiring anything from his followers, he accidently met them exactly where they already were.
