>>Trump, oddly enough, has an obvious connection with and love for blue collar America.<<
Not all that odd. Donald’s father, Fred Trump put the young Donald to work on construction sites to learn the tradework involved. Donald is a blue collar guy who happens to have worked hard to make it big. Very few people in the world are in Mr. Trump’s class.
Yeah I think you’re right, working alongside blue collar tradesmen made a positive impact on Donald.
