I think he understands that a large swath of working class Americans (particularly, but not only, white men) have had the wind knocked out of their sails by the social changes of the last approximately thirty years, and the economic changes due to offshoring their jobs to the developing world over the same period.

> Do you understand the working class?

I'm not sure, man. Like, do you?

The fact that you're already getting downvoted for a completely unsided viewpoint is pretty much proof in the pudding for what time pool calls trump derangement syndrome.

People have actually lost the plot, I think trump is a horrible person but the way people react to anyone even remotely suggesting a viewpoint inline with his and you're a scumbag racist that needs to be cancelled.

Ah yes, good point! I also forgot to mention that the Tea Party had "Obama Derangement Syndrome". It was obvious that they took everything Obama said or did in the worst possible light. Sometimes they even made things up! Now almost the entire Democratic party and left wing in the US (and indeed around the world) has Trump Derangement Syndrome. He can't say anything without it being misinterpreted and broadcast all around the world within five minutes.
