Bush was a sheltered rich kid who learned everything in a sheltered world and looked like a little boy when he had to think on his feet/deal with an unconventional person who didn't play by the rules. I've never seen someone vying for president who looked and acted so much like a sheltered teenage boy.
It made Trump look very good early on, and got him a lot of early support.
