Good jobs and change

Trump came on the scene as an outsider. He was never elected to public office and even today is not a regular politician. He got attention by being outlandish. His idea was that any news is good news to get his name recognition up. He was considered a joke and TV stations reached out to him and gave him the publicity he needed. Behind the laughing and snickering by the press stood a man who realized that the American middle-income worker had been left behind in the race for profits. Millions of workers gave up their good manufacturing jobs for cheap TVs. Trump realized that the glory days of the 50’s and 60’s had given way to a service economy at the expense of the factory job. While corporate profits grew the middle-income group lagged behind and the income gap widened each year. Trump went after the establishment and they fought to hold onto their privilege position. The middle group had not seen their real wages increase for 40 years while wages in the service area improved. People began to wake up and in the 2016 election 67% of white voters without a college degree voted for Trump. These are the people who were considered die hard democrats. The vary personality traits that upset the elite appealed to the working people. They liked his bluntness and political incorrectness. They heard regular politicians promise to increase their station in life using the proper verbiage and realized that it had all been just talk. For many, Trump is vulgar but to others he represents change and that is what the working people were hoping for. They are willing to overlook his unorthodox ways in order to get better jobs. His attempts to bring back manufacturing jobs is still questionable but it is a start.
