Yeah. I see where this is going and I see the way in which this frame can work. But, down South and in the Rust Belt, particularly among white men & women w/ no college, they see him as one them—& this perception is based on the way he uses words. It's a bond of identity.

But he’ll also say “they’re not elite, we’re elite, we’re smarter, my house is bigger” etc etc
