I'm for smaller less economically intrusive government.
I'm for open trade, markets, and mobility.
I'm for a realpolitik and pragmatic approach to foreign policy.
Trump doesn't espouse those beliefs so he isn't the candidate for me and a lot of other GOP voters/officials. He does some things I agree with but on 70-80% of the issues he has presented an opinion I disagree with. Like I said, it's no surprise, he was a Democrat most his life.
You are attempting to portray this as some recent classist struggle. There has always been class struggles and there always will be. Trump is merely a reactionary outcome from the group that's used to being in control of America feeling like it's been on the short end for a bit. Hence, populist movement.
