I hear leftists whine and complain about how the working class elected an "elite who owns gold toilets" and how he wouldn't be able to relate to common folk. If we only use very shallow, one-dimensional thinking, on the surface that may seem true, but in reality it couldn't be more wrong.

Donald Trump is exactly how a normal working class Joe-schmoe would act if he came into money.

Gold-plated toilets, gold-plated everything, his name up in lights, and plastered everywhere. Business enterprises in every subcategory, towers in every city. It's absolutely tacky, and it's absolutely real.

Compare it to a guy like Mitt Romney, rich as fuck through Bain Capital, and who plays the "everyday guy" routine, with horrible results. People see through it. It's greasy.

But Trump is unabashedly transparent about his financial success, and he lived (and still does to a degree) a life of luxury all while still enjoying the comforts of lower-class living, like fast food.

You can eat cheaper and better than McDonalds. It's a rip off. Get some cold cuts from grocery & some chips = already better & cheaper.
