Trump talked about jobs. All the time. This gets lost in the coverage, which focused on the inflammatory scandals. [...]
It’s the first and most consistent thing he discusses. It’s implied that he’s speaking of a specific kind of job, a white, male, breadwinning manufacturing job.
No, actually its not implied at all that he is talking about white jobs. He is talking about jobs for Americans. Here's something progressives don't know, but Trump does. What is the number one concern in poll after poll for black adults? Jobs. Not police shootings, not racism. Jobs. Then education. When Trump speaks about jobs and failing schools in inner cities, he spoke directly to black middle class adults and their top concerns.
What Trump has done is put a wedge between the black middle class, the white blue collar, and illegal immigrants. The democrat party must choose which they will support. Any move to support illegals will be used by Trump to drive that wedge deeper until finally blacks and the blue collar will be all republican.
The writer is trying to describe blue sky from the bottom of the rabbit hole. He assumes that manufacturing is dead and a 20th century throwback but can only think of ways to fool the voters and not deliver that type of job. The left is sure we should all be earning fifteen dollars and hour in a service job and that is all we have to look forward too. That and paid leave for a variety of excuses. The left is sure we are chattel while Trump knows we are yeomen.
