My view on that? Democrats and Republicans were BOTH pro Global, anti USA. The only advantage with Republicans was they were SLIGHTLY disobedient against global powers, when it came to global gun control ideas.
Big global corporations, and global powers, got their way, and prospered by sucking down USA wealth. After 2008, it became obvious, that the USA gov’t, the US consumer and taxpayer were all broke. Time for a rebuild.
All gov’ts and global corporations, to prosper, ULTIMATELY need the working class to make enough wages, to pay taxes for gov’t, and generously spend their take home pay on things businesses supply.
Trump just REPRESENTS the needed change, or rotation, or transition, from absorbing the middle class wealth, to rebuilding the middle class wealth, for future “harvesting”. For their own damn good, they have to give back now. The biggest of the big now have the most to lose, if they don’t re-prosper the American private sector manufacturing wages.
Gov’t employment, gov’t vendor businesses, sales and service of products, are all ABSORBING wealth created from manufacturing that produces wealth.
The big boys probably approached and Trump to run since him and his rhetoric was well known and would get votes. He probably will be a partial puppet, for a different crowd of coworkers.
