Pap is the D.'s base.  I saw them on TV last night, eating up his comparison of an immigrant in need to a vicious snake. Tom/D got all poetic.

Tom Sawyer. And not the Tom from his own 1876 _Adventures_ but the one from _Huck Finn_. Vain, delusional, conceited, and ready to risk his life and that of others for the sake of vainglorious idiotic adventure. 
I mean, we have watched the D. (and his "gang") take on "Spaniards and A-rabs" for the past 100 days, and there is a fair chance that he will "wade neck-deep in blood for the adventure of it" if given the chance. Which has me wondering how Ivanka would do as an Aunt Polly that makes his snap out of it. 
There will be more than a bullet in the calf of the leg if this delusionary reality-TV escapee has his way. Come to think of it, did anybody ever check whether there is a bloodline relation to Norton I? Now there is another possible claimant -- 

Glueck auf!
