Trump reached the White House on the strength of this insight. He offered his supporters a deal: they would give him unprecedented powers, even the power to decide for them what was true; in exchange, he would drag the elites down and elevate his supporters as “the people.” He would give them equality in servitude to him. Trump’s inherited wealth and garish lifestyle didn’t invalidate him as a popu- list tribune in their eyes, as progressives thought it should. Money alone doesn’t violate the American idea of equality- what offends ordinary people is being looked down on by those with unwarranted power and privilege. Trump got a pass because he articulated the essence of his people’s condi- tion, which was resentment. Its taste was in his mouth, too.

–From George Packer’s Last Best Hope: America in Crisis and Renewal (2021).

    This portrayal of Trump and his supporters is biased and dismissive and completely false. Trump’s appeal wasn’t about consolidating power or resentment—it was about giving a voice to Americans ignored by elites and hurt by globalization, government overreach, and cultural ridicule.

    Voters didn’t care about his wealth; they valued his patriotism, his fight against corrupt institutions, and his refusal to bow to special interests. If anyone has been “looking down” on ordinary Americans, it’s the media and political establishment that mock Trump’s supporters.

    Trump didn’t divide the country—he exposed divisions long ignored by those in power. Resentment wasn’t the driving force; it was hope for fairness, opportunity, and pride.
