Much of the support for Trump by whites stemmed from pure racism. It was purely for racist motives that they jumped on the Trump bandwagon and were hoodwinked. I remember seeing Trump wearing his white helmet standing in the center of a crowd of American workers at that Carrier plant in Indiana. He was there to save the jobs of those workers, by stopping Carrier from closing the plant and moving it to Mexico. He was like Jesus, there as the champion of the working class. Fighting and defending the American worker. People were all teary-eyed and you can't blame them, for once in many decades we supposedly had someone that was running for the presidency that actually cared about the American worker. He's going to drain the swamp, eliminate all of the corruption in Washington, he's going to stand with the people, to fight the elites who have gutted our nation's manufacturing base. He's going to go to war for the American people against a government establishment that doesn't serve their interests but rather the vested interests of corporations.

The Carrier plant closed down shortly after he became president and all of those workers lost their jobs. He did nothing.
Hey, I have to admit, as a communist, a Marxist, I was impressed with his populist act. This communist almost voted for him. Then he made a really stupid statement about Senator John McCaine, saying that he was a loser because he was taken prisoner in Vietnam.
I was shocked. I concluded that he's mentally ill. I'm a communist, I shouldn't like John McCain, I practically disagreed with him on every single political issue, but despite that, I have a certain degree of respect for his courage, and his willingness to fight for what he believes. He was a war veteran of my country, irrespective of how I might personally feel about the Vietnam war. I was angry at how Trump so disrespectfully dismissed his service to our country. Pissed me off. I questioned Trump's mental stability, his mental health. So I didn't vote for anyone in 2016 or in 2020. Trump is a liar and an idiot. He doesn't really give a shit about the American working class, he only serves his own class. The wealthy elite. He filled his administration with a bunch of swamp monsters, from Goldman Sachs and Wall Street. He wasn't draining the swamp, he was:
Scuba diving in the swamp. He was the swamp.
