Elite Mythology: No One Really Likes Donald Trump

Teresa A. Polychronis, an Orthodox Christian Friend, who happens to be a retired correspondent for one of the major wire services, worked in that capacity for decades, sent me the following letter she sent to a young friend, a member of the "elite class" who had expressed this idea, that "No one really likes Donald Trump."  Her response was "classic" in that she reveals to her friend the disconnect between the average people in this country and those who live in the elitist's bubble, whose grasp and understanding of Mom and Pop Americans is through their cartoon depiction in the dramas and comedies in the media.

Dear One,

The isolated elites do not like Trump because he will rock their boat (also they do not have a clue re who he is or what he is about). The man and woman in the street love him. There are more of them. He attracts tens of thousands to his rallies, 55,000+ in one city. People stand in line for 8+ hours to attend his rallies. In PA alone, almost 300,000 Democrats have switched to Republican (thanks to Trump).

Trump connects and communicates with the people, and he has pinpointed what are the problems, etc. destroying our nation -- and -- he offers practical, realistic long-range solutions. Unlike politicians, he says what he means, and means what he says (a breath of fresh air). He is a builder, a visionary who has translated his visions into concrete reality. Indeed, he is practical, realistic and gifted with great common sense. People are tired of out-of-touch fancy-speaking bull crap artists.

Trump has earned what he has -- has not mooched off the taxpayers. He said he will not accept a salary as president. The Clintons and the Obamas became multi-millionaires while on the taxpayers' dole.

I have all the "culture, erudition, cosmopolitan" credentials. I could out-snob the snobs. However, thank God, working as a news reporter, in politics and hob-bobbing with the common folk, I have become fairly able to have a finger on the pulse of our nation, to see what is really going on.

Perhaps some see Trump as a diamond in the rough. Preferable to fools gold. I know I would rather have him for my buddy in a foxhole in combat than those who turn up their noses at him.

BTW, it is commonly reported in the Alt-Media here and even in some mainstream news outlets that many European leaders are blaming Obama for ISIS and that Trump has strong support among the average European people. According to polls and surveys, Trump has majority support in most European countries (Kosovo and Turkey are exceptions). He could put an end to the international mess created by Obama and Hillary et al. The average people are fed up. Brexit in England was just the beginning.

The globalist elites are terrified of Trump; he will put an end to their oligarchy. They are employing their vast money and power to attempt to demonize and destroy Trump. Studies prove the media have worked overtime to denigrate Trump (they reportedly are 95% for Hillary). A cabal of the Democrats, Elitist Republicans, media, Soros front entities and Wall Street (Hillary's buddies) have been unable to knock out Trump. That speaks well for him.

So, that is my two cents worth. Now, I speak no more.

Thank you, Teresa!
Well said, my friend. Well said!

Some call me brash, some call me bellicose and a fool. Those experiencing healing call me friend. A grandson called me a "contrarian" - I like that.
