Working-class Trumpsters: How does a rich businessman like Trump represent folks like you who are watching every dime?
Update:
Uncle Pennybags: Trump is no paragon of virtue and my family suffered, due to his bad decisions. However, you did give me your own detailed point of view that answered my question. Best of all, you did it politely. So, you get the prize.

As opposed to the Democrats who have sold out our working class jobs to Mexico and China for the last 3 decades?
1. Trump's tax cuts put about $1,200 into ordinary American pockets. So says the NY Times and H&R Block.
2. Trump's renegotiated trade deals with Canada and Mexico, and new ones with S. Korea and the EU favor US workers.
3. Standing up to China's unfair trade practices and combatting illegal immigrants resulted in millions of more jobs for Americans here at home.
4. Because of the tight labor market that resulted from Trump's policies above, lower-income Americans actually saw their wages rise faster in 2018 and 2019 than their bosses did.
That's why.
It is a great assumption that the working class is watching every dime. Trump is the canary that we sent in to the deep, dark, dank "coal mines" of the Federal government.
He doesn’t. But it is not about the money or the policies. It is about his racist beliefs.
He's an urban archetype. He's the guy who sells fake Rolexes to the working class people who visit the city. Trump is the ultimate big city liar, conman and thief.
Read that real slow.. 'working-class' meaning I'm working for someone else.. Who am I working for? Someone who is about to get a tax increase under Biden, and possibly force those companies to increase their minimum wage.. Where do you think that money is going to magically come from? We'll be back to cutting full time jobs to part time like Obama did because of Obamacare. You think these greedy companies are just going to eat that cost? You must be kidding yourself. Yeah I love when everyone gets to suffer equally. Yay Democratic leadership!
newsflash. he does not represent us.
I've declared bankruptcy twice, so Trump is my kind of guy!

They don't comprehend your question...
A rich business man wouldn't be like Trump. He'd have money, successful businesses, and wouldn't be $400 million in debt.
