If I had a dime for every reason given for Trump's win, I could dive into a pool of them like Scrooge McDuck.

I think it's certainly a factor which made Trump seem credible as long as you didn't scrutinize his self-made mythology too hard, but it's not primarily why Trump won. If it were that simple, Mitt Romney would have won as well.
