It depends on what you are after I guess, but it's almost certain that if the USA has compulsory voting Trump would not have won the last election. The people who don't usually vote; the feeble-minded as you call them, pull the vote toward the centre. Whatever Trump may be, he doesn't represent the centre of politics.
If the current USA polls are any indication, most USA voters are now wistfully thinking what might have been, had a system that forced those feeble-minded voters to get off their arses and vote been in place back in November.
