This might explain why. It could be he saw Trump as an elite. I suppose he is. He certainly traveled in the same class. It's also what makes him able and so good at what he's doing. He understands that class all too well.
Apparently Bourdain may have gotten depressed about his girlfriend, who may have been on a fling of sorts at the time.
That was what I was seeing in comments, on a website today.
It seems he had publicly stated he liked this lady, sort of publicly stated they were an item. But then again, he may have somehow introduced some sort of complication, since she also seemed to publicly make some sort of statements herself, which she seems to have retracted since, but which may have indicated some sort of unhappiness about something or other.

I’m not sure whether there is anything to the speculation, but some people were saying they thought there may have been a correlation.
Or maybe not. There were some who disagreed.
Liberals invent those dichotomies and throw them in our faces.
