What you don't understand and the MSM doesn't understand is that Trump is a populist who sees the corruption of both the left and of the business elite who benefit from low priced labor. That was why he was able to win with all of his faults. From a personal perspective, he was definitely not my choice but as time has gone on I'm just loving how he is able to time and time again put it to people like you who think you are intellectually "better" than his base.

I will give you the benefit of the doubt, based on your listed accomplishments, that you really don't support Trump because of some immature, emotional, irrational argument that he 'puts it to people' who make sweeping general insults to all Trump voters.
But I will point out --that kind of comment puts you in the same category as those Trump critics that make those generalizations.
Trump is as corrupt a business man as you can find and under elite -- he's it.
He's a man who has known nothing but living in NYC and having money.
It seems some folks have this fairy tale image that Trump is some kind of self made business man who hob knobs with the blue collar workers and gets them.
That couldn't be further from who he is or wants to be. He doesn't care about anybody but himself.
He was pro-choice late into his 60's and only decided to be anti-abortion when it was time to choose a party to run for. That's the most immoral kind of corrupt politician there is.
But somehow he has convinced -- even the most intelligent person -- of this mythical connection with the every day person -- and that he is going to protect the simple people from the big bad corporations.
Corruption of the left....he puts in Devos as Education Secretary for payback her family gave him donations.
Seriously -- I get if you support tariffs and always have.
I get if you think a wall is an efficient way to control the border.
I get it if you think that corporations should not have to deal with regulations on pollution.
But Trump doesn't care about anybody but himself. Let's not pretend he has the knowledge, or skills to deal with the complexities of immmigration, health care, international trade and diplomacy.
He reduces everything to a one factor issue.
