13358768, Trump's "everyman" appeal was never economic though

it's more anti-intellectual.

kind of the Palin appeal of people who don't know much about the world, but somehow feel qualified to have a know-it-all opinion about everything

Trump offers simple simon solutions to problems he has no understanding of, and these people see it and say "exactly!" because it reflects how they feel "it snowed more this year where's all that global warming?"

Then there's the whole anti-PC thing but that's a whole other conversation because trump and his ilk are even more snowflakey than woke twitter

Then they look at Hillary with all her advanced degrees and decades of experience and think what has she ever done. That the economy hasn't crashed is proof to them that he's qualified for this job.

Plus he's a poor dumb person's idea of what a Rich person should be like. all that gaudy gold and names on planes and shit.
