Well, I'm a marketing guy so I'm very interested in why people think the way they do and how they are steered into supporting things.  Besides, Trump got elected because a lot of people think the fact that he is super rich makes him super awesome and smart so you can't just ask people to forget about those things after he benefits from them.  It's like Obama supporters acting like you couldn't mention that he was black AFTER he got elected.  You can't have your cake and eat it, too. In Trump's case his background was literally everything he brought to the table because the man had never spent a day in office, nor served the public.

But yes, I think the fact that Trump is a super-rich Manhattan elitist who lives in a golden penthouse but still has johnny six-pack convinced that they are bros is quite interesting.  My point is that raping the middle class isn't political suicide as long as you can still convince voters that your opponents would have and/or will do them even dirtier.  Perception trumps reality.
