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.

You have to get over yourself, the vast majority want jobs in this country. Most people would prefer a $1000 tariff on BMW, Volvo, Mercedes and the whole lot of cars made outside these United States. Most feel anyone who can afford a $ 70K car can certainly pay more. Times have changed and the voting majority has changed with the times. I am not saying that I always espoused this, but I am saying it hollowed out jobs inside America. Others can play with currency and manipulate those who sell inside their country favorably, the same will occur here. Much of what you and others hear and negatively espouse against is just the start of what is something that is living that none of us actually know what the final deal will be. It is living because it is being formulated to new working policy. The Democrat of JFK is almost dead as a door nail, today's Democrat are closer to communist and socialist than they are anything else. Their goal is to spend it before it gets printed. Facts are Trump was a JFK type Democrat for most of his life, JFK was more of a capitalist than any Democrat can claim to be.
I fully expect you to maintain your track record being wrong and pissed for a number of years, heck I was pissed all eight years of that jackal who is writing books now.
