Isn't it interesting, that all these independent voters and working class Democrats, the next generation of Reagan Democrats if you will, who are coalescing around Trump, obviously have nothing against Donald Trump's wealth?
They're willing to vote for him and otherwise support him even though he is fabulously wealthy and is in fact rather ostentatious about it? Particularly in "industrial" states like Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania?
I think they also knew that Ronald Reagan was a very wealthy man in his time.
The difference between multi-millionaire and billionaire is irrelevant to me. Here is Ohio, I think we know the difference. In farm country it’s a little different where a farmer can be a ‘land millionaire’ but not a cash millionaire.
Yes, he’s saying “I’m a billionaire, and that proves I’m not greedy.” Which if you look at it logically is absurd.
But through another lens he might be saying, “Hey I’m a loud hard-partying regular guy just like you all, I just happen to be super-good at biznis. Otherwise I’m just like you.” And that seems to be what people are buying.
