    He absolutely reflects the opinions of a very specific subset of people that that also has the decision makers as a subset.

    There absolutely several public figures you can watch that reflect the views of the people that make the decisions.

    Kingmaking is a thing that happens in games that involve more than two people where at the end game it becomes clear that only two people could potentially win, and the other players have to continue playing without the possibility to win, but end up with the power to make a choice on who of the two potential winners does in fact win.

    Some people absolutely hate it, and feel that any decision made by one of the players that can’t win that involves anything that isn’t self-motivated as cheating.

    Some people don’t love it, but don’t hate it, and have the view that the two people winning should take into account their own popularity with the decisions they make before the game devolved into only two potential winner, and that if they lose from people being mad at previous decisions that it is their own fault.

    I’ve tried to give an unbiased description, though I obviously have an opinion.

    Hopefully the parallel is obvious, too.
