Trump wasn't taken seriously as a candidate in 2015. He didn't declare his candidacy until July 2015 at which point his odds were 150/1 and it didn't get above 66/1 in 2015.

In 2000 his run wasn't taken seriously either. He had a approval rating of 7%. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump_2000_presidential_campaign https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump_2000_presidenti...
