Donald Trump has effectively served as a tool of division on behalf of those in government and media who are most vehemently against him and his supporters. Whoever advises him either fails to coach him on how to effectively use hostile press and media to get the message out while feeding the propagandists as little as possible- this assumes that the advice isn't being given and simply ignored.

Trump's political opportunity was created by the rank corruption and blatant deceit which is business as usual in government- something that is not unique to either party. At this point it seems fairly obvious to anyone whose head isn't buried in media propaganda that the people we elect are routinely bought off by parties whose interest is in the destruction of the very form of government that the elected pledge oaths to preserve.
