Trump is all perception/symptom -- not cause. You are correct that the fantasy trip of TV is at the root of our issues, and now we are in the even more fragmented world of digital. At least with TV, I could say, "I relate to Jim Rockford" and have something to aspire to.

Lived in a trailer. Drove a Trans Am. Independent agent. Afraid of nothing. Hmmmm, what a good idea.

That's what the TV has convinced people that Trump is, but instead of being an independent agent he's paid for by the mob that bought the penthouse he lives in.
