My impression of the Trump campaign is that they understood what issues their support base cared about, and did very well at talking about those issues.
Things like the economy, cost of living, crime etc were front and centre of their campaigns, and things like immigration ultimately stem from those issues.
Whether they actually make anything better is another question, but they definitely knew what to say.
Appealing to tribalism and giving people a boogeyman to blame for all their problems is the oldest trick in the book. It's akin to using bikini models in used car ads. If you fall for it, you're a schmuck.
I'm not sure how you got that from "we're going to fix the economy", but OK.
Bikini models will fix the economy!
OK buddy.
