You hit it right!
This is not about Trumps words.
It is about the DC elites keeping their power and gravy trains going.
This is what I believe.
I also believe there is a "social" issue going on here. The Nation's "Elite" and "Beautiful People" are aghast that Donald Trump, previously one of their number, would dare side with us "deplorable" hicks in flyover country.
They literally hate us, and now they hate Trump because he is championing our side.
