Except that is wrong. The average Trump voter had more money and assets. Disproportionate wrong-headed electoral college are what got him elected - he lost by 13 million votes!

You can still have economic concerns whether you are poor or wealthy. This is going to be the biggest driver of a presidential election: who is going to make me better off.

You're off by an order of magnitude. Trump received 62.98 m votes while Clinton received 65.85 m. That's a difference of 2.87 m votes not 13 million. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_United_States_presidentia...)
