    cutting taxes for the wealthy could risk damaging the populist image that Trump has cultivated.

    It’s never seemed to damage his image with his supporters before. He could hold them down and shit into their mouths and they’d find a reason to think it was an ok thing to do

      Many of his supporters don’t consider themselves poor or middle-class, they consider themselves pre-millionaires.

        When I was a kid, I was told that “The American Dream” was a house and two cars. At some point along the way, that morphed into “anyone can be a millionaire.”

          Probably about the time it started taking a million dollars to comfortably maintain a house and two cars…

          Have it. Don’t want it. New American dream is to be able to fuck off in the woods for weeks at a time, and still have medical care.

          That’s because in many places you need to be a millionaire to get that two story ranch style house and 2 cars made in the last 5 years.
