Trump calls the Washington press corps “the enemy of the people” , “fake news,” and they hate him right back, calling him dangerous and stupid. By doing so, they call his voters stupid, and worse, all 63 million of them.
Trump and journalism are now locked in a battle of excess and outrage. Most in the media have given up trying to be fair.
What is bothersome isn’t that reporters and many pundits don’t understand Trump, but the real concern are his voters, our countrymen and women. That’s half of our nation. The more the attacks on Trump, the more support he gets.
Trump’s voters know what put him in the White House. It wasn’t merely that Hillary Clinton was a lousy candidate. It was that Trump voters detested the crowd that backed her, loathed them; and those in turn were viewed as something to be stepped on, to be ridiculed for heresy.
What is the role of Money in this equation?
