We all know why.

It is not so much the Orange Man himself but rather what Orange Man has awakened. Specifically, the consciousness that America – the traditional conception of it as a nation-state that puts its people first – is being deliberately undermined by people who see America as a kind of administrative district of their hoped-for World State, one modeled on the old Roman empire, in which all peoples co-mingled but were all beholden to the same central authority.

More recent expressions of this concept were the Austro-Hungarian empire of the Hapsburgs and (not long after) the formation of the European Union. The latter having transformed the once-distinct nation-states of Germany, France and other "members" into what the once-independent states – plural – of these United States became after the consolidation of the American empire; after the "rebellious" states of the Southern Confederacy sought to assert their independence.

Well, Trump – in his way – is also "rebellious." Or – more finely – he conjures a rebellious spirt, in traditional Americans.
