Summary
Latino men played a key role in Donald Trump’s election victory, with 43-55% supporting him, drawn by promises of economic relief, job opportunities, and small business support.
Despite higher workforce participation, many Latino men face wage gaps, dangerous jobs, and lower educational attainment compared to other groups.
Some prioritize trade skills or entrepreneurship over college, seeking practical returns on investment.
Experts highlight the need for policies addressing economic barriers, job training, and health coverage to sustain their support.
Future voting will depend on whether these voters see tangible progress in achieving the American Dream.
How is it a con? Trump has no class. That’s exactly what these “hold my beer” voters want and it’s what they get. That don’t care if he grifts as long as the “elite” are annoyed. But they will ultimately hurt from his policies, so that’s when the gymnastics start.
