Why did you guys elect Trump?

I am not from America and I just read the recent memeos signed by him. I followed the presidential campaign as well and It baffled me when the election results were announced . Is there something that I am missing? I am not pointing fingers, I am genuinely curious of the reason.

Edit: I didn't mean to come off as a condescending jerk. The media in my country has been portraying this as The unexpected win of the decade. So, I genuinely had been thinking the majority of the people voted for Trump.
