Donald Trump's behavior is not new to anyone who has paid any attention to things he's done over the past 50+ years of his life. He made people who felt they had no better option & nothing to lose think he was one of them. He's never been blue collar & has lived his life cheating blue collar workers and lying.
Others in his administration and/or nominees aren't interested in doing things that help average Americans either.
The hope is that people will be able to see the writing on the wall.
