For years, Trump benefited politically from conspiracy theories regarding the disgraced financier.

    The majority of the working class got Trump over the finish line, not because they liked him, but because he was the only one speaking to their pain. The democrats (mostly corporate centrist/neo-liberals) new their policies could not fix Biden’s horrendous economy, so they chose platitudes, “we are for good things …and democracy.” None of that was an answer for sky-high groceries, homes, and the job market. Trump used some of Bernie Sander’s rhetoric to lure them in, promising to fix the job market, he would fix healthcare (the two biggest issues that won him the election.) There was also Biden’s failed border issue, another highly supported Trump issue, even among Hispanics. Of course, Trump will fail at all these in the end, but it is a lesson for both parties, to actually listen to what people need, not what the industrial complex, nor the needs of foreign nations $$, nor wars, but focus on the jobs…THE ECONOMY…the workers.
