IMO Trump voters are pretty easy to understand, and when so-called "elites" say they don't understand them, it's not really because they don't understand--it's because they don't like them and don't want to understand.
It'd be like asking a Palestinian to try to understand Israel, or an Israeli to try to understand a Palestinian. Easy to understand, but do you want to?
Exactly. Its pretty clear that the Washington elites not only don't like the average Joe, they despise them. They view them as simpletons that don't understand how grateful they should be to have such great leaders.

What exactly is there to understand???
The US government is broke - it's running a ~ 2 trillion a year deficit, around 6.5% of GDP yearly in a strong economy.
What happens in 10 years? 20 years?
How do government programs get paid for?????? This is totally bipartisan.

The average man doesn't understand they they are not enlightened enough to understand all this stuff.
The government is a small club and you and I aren't in it.

Well.. the bill for government will come due eventually. No amount of culture-wars or political fantasies or 'saber-rattling' or entertainment will change that.
Why Wall Street and bond-holders aren't speaking out... is beyond me. They must have some kind of exit plan.
