But Trump is also rich and powerful, so how does that make sense? He's no different, relatively.

The difference is Trump reach out to the middle class and the lower class, while the other rich politicians don't give a shit.
Down-vote me all you want, but this is why Trump won. The sooner people accept that, the sooner we can move forward as a nation and rebuild this whole nation for every Americans.

Or stop relying on politicians to change and start changing the system yourself. The organization I support is represent.us.
This has nothing to do with why Trump was elected. The rich and powerful have been marginalizing the middle class for a long time, through reduced taxes on the wealthy and austerity measures, both here in the US and in Europe. This widening gulf between the rich and the rest of us has pissed off the middle class and they voted for Trump out of anger at the establishment that got us here.
The masses have made their voices heard on not giving a crap about surveillance. It is never high on any poll or any article I've read about the rise of Trump.
