Quick takeaways

  • Donald Trump is trying to sell himself as a champion of the working class, appealing to issues like trade and foreign competition instead of tax cuts and corporate interests.

Deep dives

Trump's attempt to present himself as a champion of the working class

Donald Trump is making efforts to sell himself as a champion of the working class. Although he has a record of anti-worker policies during his presidency, he is trying to appeal to working-class voters by emphasizing issues like trade and foreign competition. Trump's approach is different from traditional Republicans, who focus more on tax cuts and corporate interests. However, his success in attracting union voters from the Democrats in 2020 is questionable, as most voters prioritize Trump's persona and loyalty over specific policy positions.
