After burning though whatever money he (Trash) inherited,
along with all the money other people loaned him,
It was the dumb luck of a Hollywood writer’s strike (and the end of antena-based television in rural areas) that
helped launch his stupid reality show into the homes of slack jawed yokels in the flyover states,
where he cemented his status as a poor person’s idea of what a rich person was.
The longer Trump could keep a camera and a microphone in front of his face (things that Trump needs more than water or oxygen to survive) the longer
they realized that Trump, for all his money, was a Shitty White Person just like them.
He spoke their same language of perpetual victimhood and grievance,
even in the midst of a game they were clearly doing so much better in
than the people they were blaming for their perceived lack of success on.
It turns out privilege is just like money — you can never have too much of it,
especially
if you believe in a zero sum game where your every failure is the result of someone else’s success.
This is exactly why equality feels like oppression to people accustomed to privilege.
Trump provided Shitty White Americans an easy way out—
he provided someone to identify with that didn’t require them to make the painful leap of reasoning that
would equate their grievances with the folks actually responsible for their situation.
And allowed them the opportunity to spew their inner racism to boot.
