One could say it was genius move on Trump’s part but he just simply tapped into a huge reservoir that was being ignored and marginalized. Simple Business Success 101— find a need that people want and supply it.
“he just simply tapped into a huge reservoir”
Not to put words in your mouth or represent something you didn’t say, I just want to add that Trump didn’t put his finger in the air and see which way the political winds were blowing and go along with the breeze. He actually believes this stuff! He has for YEARS. It is who Trump is, regardless of who he may have made political/business contributions to.
Similar to Rush’s supposed “mind numbed robots” where callers constantly debunk this idea and say “finally they found someone who agreed with THEM”.
Trump voters finally have a candidate that agrees with THEM! NOT the other way around.
