You may or may not be wrong, but you are missing his entire point. Brexit and Trump were the only "blunt instruments" available to the working masses to respond to the ridiculous overreach of the elites in power. And make no mistake, the overreach has reached massive proportions.The money behind Brexit cynically mined the same populist sentiment in the UK, convincing people that it was a fight for the little guy. Of course, it was never a fight for the common man and now that the reality of leaving the EU has set in, Brexit is deeply unpopular. In fact, it has played a huge role in the inflation issues the UK is dealing with.
Unsurprisingly. the guy with the gold toilets doesn’t care one iota about the common man. In fact, his contempt is very well established. He simply sees populism as the path to power and his second term populist policies (for example, his proposed 10% tariff on all imported goods) would absolutely spike inflation and hurt these disaffected middle Americans who believe he is their champion.
People are sick of it, and the only blunt instrument available to them will be back in play come November.
