npub17aqgyjm4p8z9r42mpwkt45qln7sh4hr65z2gzwahgjtchr7vmsms8g3dh0 (npub17aq…3dh0) When Trump gained the White House in 2016, the media shopped around a meme which held that he was put into office by "economically alienated" white working-class voters. That meme did not stand up to scrutiny, since economic analysis of Hillary and Trump voters showed that economically struggling working-class voters voted more heavily for Hillary.

Trump's supporters have, all along, had rich representation in the middle and affluent classes of voters.
