Some of the above people may have a higher education, but I think most do not.
If you want to get into specifics of under educated white men how about the following: Harry S. Truman, Chuck Yeager, the Wright brothers, Thomas Edison to name a few.
I am one of those under educated tradesmen who never went to college and owned my own business. I also worked for developers just like Trump who beat you down on price and found all kinds of ways to back charge you for undisclosed reasons. Just like Trump has done to contractors and suppliers for years.

I am also just smart enough to spot a phony and anybody who has ever worked for a large developer knows that Trump is at the top of the list when it comes to being a phony.

This is one under educated person who is not fooled by Trump.

You can have him.

I wouldn't call you under educated but I agree with everything you said and I don't think Trump supporters are all under educated but are bitter about their situation in life, regardless of their education. I grew up in SF in the 70's and 80's when tradesman like yourself lived next to school principals and doctors. I define all these professions as part of the middle class and the middle class isn't falling for it!

God. Thank you for saying that! I wish that every working person and every "uneducated" person could be like you!
Being uneducated doesn't mean being unintelligent. I've got 1 year of college but i'm plenty educated and intelligent.
I don't know why more people don't see what you see.
Then it comes down to whether or not people have common sense and emotional intelligence. Maybe that's what's lacking most.

Interesting and hilarious that someone would go so low as to call all Trump voters uneducated. My brother is a Rhodes scholar, Dartmouth and Yale law grad - and I am certain he will vote Trump. I have a degree too (and will vote for Trump) though mine is not as prestigious, but I have loads of life experience. I also qualify as garbage apparently because I am also an 'old woman hag'. That makes me a 'triple loser'?


I guess that the fact that I know HOW to think and DO think is not as good as having been taught WHAT to think. How did I ever waste my life so badly. The shame, the travesty .. such a loss to society I have been.


I may be a Trump voter and obviously my degree and life experience don't count .. but at least I still have a sense of humor and can laugh at the (obviously so mature and erudite) suggestion that I am scum. Too bad I still have a vote. Better luck next time.

You can be well educated but still embody the bitterness and nasty tone of the average Trump supporter.

I will retire next year after 30 yrs with air traffic control. My pension will be 94k/yr. No college. Most 4 yr degrees are a dime a dozen. Too many grads are pompous d bags. Sound familiar?

We'll take him. You can have the corrupt, power hungry, habitual liar who couldn't care less about small business owners.
