      I think this is right about Trump's class identity. Part of his success is parleying that rich slob's anger at bad service into a wider anger of petty bourgeois at being disrespected.https://twitter.com/lionel_trolling/status/1311329049130790913 …

      The thing about the provincial petty bourgeois is they are like god-kings in their own realm (their business, their community) but they also know there are people out there in wider world who don't respect them. Hence their aggrieved privilege & lordly self-pity: Trumpism.

          That's because Trump in 2016 didn't expect to win and was saying whatever he thought would aid him most to make money founding Trump TV or whatever after the election. What we see now is the real man.

          And they are numerous. Often (also) their businesses depend on the public sector or regulation even as they disavow it. Think beer distributors, car dealers, real estate developers, farmers..

          Edsall and Bouie have made similar points in the past - the core of Trump's base are the prosperous small business owners, such as of restaurants or car dealerships, not necessarily w/ a 4-year college degree, yet they still feel disrespected and therefore are full of resentment.
