"but like Trump you can be a slob and still get rich, and moreover, as Trump attests by word and deed, there is nothing wrong with that."

The anti-populist elites like those at the Atlantic miss this completely. There is no reason for the non-elites to prefer Jamie Dimon et. al to a slob like Trump. There are countless other, legitimate, reasons, of course, to oppose Trump but the "resistance" has too frequently conflated them.

I was repulsed, a couple of weeks ago to read Anne Applebaum complaining about Biden's "strange obsession" (to her) for factory workers, the UAW, etc. Didn't he understand they were the past?
