I don’t love Trump. I don’t trust him. I hope some strange sense of noblesse oblige drives him to serve Americans, rather than big corporations and the state.

But then, I didn’t like Obama, or trust him, but initially I had some hope that he might mend race relations and provide a positive example to young black men.

I do fear falling, and I do fear what my country is becoming - a police state, split by factions, populated by foreigners, many of whom have no true allegiance to this nation. Many of the newcomers come from countries where the only chance of safety and a decent life comes from being rich - that is not what I want for MY country.

Very well said.

The media still do not ‘get’ what happened.
There are many people who are not ardent, rally-going fans of Trump but who nevertheless voted for him as the better of the options available and hoping for the best.

The reasons for voting for Trump were many but a huge number simply could not justify a vote for Clinton and the status quo establishment on any grounds. Nothing more than that. The media does not ‘get’ that. They refuse to acknowledge it (this includes much of the Republican never-Trump establishment).

With Trump at least there was a chance of some changing course and possibly some good things (like Supreme Court appointments which has already happened). At the very least Trump could be a place holder until Clinton and her minions would be safely out of the way.

The media thinks everyone who voted for Trump are die-hard rally-going, MAGA-hat-wearing, cult of personality fans. They could not be more wrong.

They also (as this article conveys more discreetly than most) think they are all racists, bigots etc. just as they did with the tea party movement.

For many people it was not about Trump per se. The sentiment goes far deeper (and longer ago in time) than Trump. I hope Trump ‘gets’ that too.

Quite simply, the media and the estblishment in DC does not get it.
They never will never ever in a million years get it.
