Nothing In Common (common folk and Trump)
The American Thinker ^ | 9/16/2016 | William Campenni

Posted on 09/16/2016 6:36:41 AM PDT by oldbill

Of all the characters who have marched across the political stage this year, Democrat and Republican, it seems that only Trump is looking out for us.

With Trump I may have nothing in common, save for wanting to make America great again and for We, the People, all of us, to make this great America ours again.

Donald Trump is the last person we thought would ever come through for us.

Trump may be the billionaire, but he is the only one it seems that is looking out for us. This article explains to the elites why Trump is getting his support.

Trump made his money in AMERICA...
Hillary wants to make it Venezuela...or AMERIKA
A socialist sheethole...with her and BJ running a totally corrupt self enriching everything for sale flea market...

Plus she is a TRAITOR who participated in selling out America in at lesat two instances... ISIS and Uranium One...not to mention Iran..
BJ sold us out with the chinese Loral deal and giving N. Korea the nuke opportunity which we are now facing...

the Clintons are white trailer trash who are in it for themselves at the expense of everyone else...

Trump is a PATRIOT and a businessman but he produces goods and services that people can freely buy ... or not... whereas the Clintons make money selling out America.

For me the money quotes of this man's opine, William Campenni a retired engineer, business owner, and Air Force fighter pilot, is:

They can't understand how a Donald Trump can even exist, let alone find purchase among so many of those voting commoners. To them, in the words of the establishment candidate they support, it must be that we are " racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic" and also pretty stupid. To her and her aristocracy, we are "not America." We fight their wars, fund their philanthropy, obey their laws, create their wealth, produce their food, protect their families -- but we are not America?

Ironically, Clinton was inadvertently correct, if somewhat obtuse, when she opined “that the government has let them down, the economy has let them down, nobody cares about them, nobody worries about what happens to their lives and their futures, and they’re desperate for change.”

Trump may well carry the equivalent of my entire net worth in his wallet but I know that philosophically,he and I have far more in common than I have with The Former Twelfth Lady.

TRUMP has worked around construction workers this whole life

Plus he hires a lot of lower wage workers in his businesses

BY lower wage I mean middle to lower class

You can make a lot of money as a waiter it the right places

Trumps places are the right places

Construction, hotel workers, Country Club workers, as well as, various other types of workers. In addition he has had opportunities to meet personally with members of the upper echelon classes. It is obvious that he prefers and appreciates the working class far more, and they appreciate him in return.

Trump is rich, I want to be rich too.
Under Hillary that will be darn near impossible.

And the MSM is totally condescending when they constantly refer to Trump supporters as ‘blue collar and uneducated’. Everyone I know that supports Trump is well educated. But it is just MSM manipulation of the masses to gain more support for Hillary, by telling the masses that ‘educated Americans’ largely support Hillary. And many of the sheeple will go along with it, wanting to be a part of the ‘educated person’s choice’.

Yes, Donald Trump really likes working Americans; but I think your approach may be missing the most essential point. Yes Donald Trump is a very down to earth billionaire. But the real factor in why so many in his economic class act like such idiots, is the facet of human behavior brilliantly captured by the great Danish story teller, Hans Christian Andersen, in the Emperor's New Clothes.

It is not just perceived economic interest in Globalism; or even the bogus "idealism" in pursuing treasonous New World Orders.

A great many of the higher-ups in Corporate America--and the lickspittle politicians who cater to them, are afflicted with the same cowardly blindness that afflicted Andersen's courtiers in the story.

Trump is doing a great job fighting for the continuity of America; but the real point is the emotion driven incompetence of the "Never Trump" types. As we pray that God Bless Donald; let us also pray that some of the highly placed American courtier class wake up--even if we cannot find an innocent little boy to proclaim the Emperor's nakedness.

Our MSM are adolescent brats that have gotten away with a lot of bullshit while dad’s been gone.

They now see Dad’s car pulling in the driveway...

Our politicians are pickpockets with bright white smiles that people have let slide.

They know we want our money back now.

From what I have heard those guys with the signs are pulling in big bucks. LOL

Independent jobbers I have known, plumbers, electricians etc., have always told me that most of them are slow to pay and that they prefer working for the solidly middle class because they pay quicker. I guess my point is that it depends on the capacity you work for them. Too many of the rich just do not relate to the real constraints these people have.
