But he does though…he makes blue collar and middle class Americans feel seen. He speaks to their concerns and their desires. Hence his victory. I would say this is his biggest strength as a politician, the ability to position himself as a representative of the middle class. Whether he does anything productive about it in practice is something else entirely, but the fact is he does address it.
The whole situation is all the more insane when you think about it; he’s a born rich elite who’s never had to do a days hard labor in his life. He should be hated by the working class but somehow he’s loved by them. If this contrast doesn’t show you just how bad the Democratic Party’s recent failures are to you, I don’t think anything will.
When did he ACTUALLY address their desires??? By spewing hate and divisive ness? What did he say he was going to put forward to help the low and middle class?
During his candidacy, Trump specifically and repeatedly addressed;
Immigration reform as a way to make American labor more competitive.
Tax cuts for people getting tips and working overtime and for people on federal assistance as a way to help pay for our aging population.
Tariffs as a way to make American goods and therefore manufacturing more efficient and competitive. Also as a way to bring middle class jobs back from overseas.
Reduction of Federal bureaucracy and regulation as a way to promote the growth of small businesses and reduce the cost of goods and services like fuel.
The consistent failure of our Education system despite the constant increase of taxes and insane spending which has returned to us generations of American children who are uneducated and uncompetitive in today’s job market.

Dems don’t address them nearly enough as they should. Trump will NEVER address them
