Years ago there was a movie titled "Sand Pebbles". It was a story about the USS San Pablo during the Boxer Rebellion in China.

There were a lot of Chinese working on the ship doing the menial work.

That work was termed their 'rice bowl'.

What Trump is doing is threatening the political elite, media elite and lobby elite's 'rice bowls'.

If he is President, the 'rice bowls' that have been full for so many decades will suddenly be emptied.

That is what they are afraid of happening.

Excellent analogy.
