    IF he doesn't care about us then why is he doing this?
    "Power"? He has it
    "Control"? He has it
    "Money"? He has it

    Not the perfect example but illustrates a huge misnomer in this nation![emoji85]

      The same could be said for a lot of rich and powerful people. Why do rich people go to work every day? Why didn't Trump retire years ago? He had all that stuff then.

      Because they want MORE of it. Not saying that is necessarily a bad thing. It is just human nature.
      Bingo.....u beat me to it. [emoji106]

        Figure his connection comes from employing tens of thousands of blue collar workers. Hillary has/had no such connection.

            Just like I believe the primary ownership of the multi nationals (5x bigger than Trumps corporation) I have worked for during my career have ANY idea how I live..........LOL! Like I stated earlier.........HUGE misnomer in our society.

              Hillary wanted to employ millions of folks, just like Obama did. Only thing is they don't have to show up to work (welfare) to get that check.
              Let me know when Trump takes them off the payroll.

                Cant speak for you or anyone else, but its plausible to me that millions of people feel they have a connection to the man. He may not be blue collar but he talks the talk and is currently walking the walk to support them. In the O&G industry where I work its common that the CEO and COO came up from the bottom, working on rigs/platforms and manufacturing zones alongside unskilled and skilled labor. You can tell when they have in their leadership styles. Same when I was in the Army. Officers that were prior enlisted were generally the best leaders and officers. I understand Trump was never on the bottom rung but it appears from what Ive seen he has gone out of his way to always be involved in his operations even at the lowest of levels. I would consider Trumps leadership style to be the same as the examples I mentioned above. I think that's what people see and mean when they say something like "he gets us".

                  I'm still somewhat amazed that a man that possesses so much wealth and power and has had access to places and parts of this world that I will never see...
                  Can remain to be so seemingly ignorant. And completely classless.

                    I follow that and can sincerely respect the thought process! Probably no wrong or right but worth a deeper dive.
                    My entire career has been in sales or marketing on a high/technical level. Most of our CEO's were from our ranks but not for one moment do I believe they spend their days now as CEO (20 years later)dwelling on their previous role in the company. It is about maximizing profits on that level.........period. The rest of the job is protecting the castle and keeping the TEAM engaged (working 60+ hours if they can)! WE can all feel good about the guy that once was where I am or was, but I ain't voting for anyone on a "feel good" moment!
                    Heck, the wife and I have 30 employees now and honestly we cannot fully relate to where they are in life. We make a huge "feel good" effort to be part of the TEAM when & where possible.
                    Congrats to TRUMP for grabbing a nice chunk of the American Dream but in no way will I subscribe his going on a construction worksite or going into a casino kitchen for a "visit" to he GET's IT! Heck, my buddy Bush Sr did not know how much a gallon of milk cost back in the 90's. Geez, I don't know how much a gallon of milk cost today nor a gallon of gas to be perfectly honest. I have not bought milk since my kid was a baby and gas is just part of something I have to get to move my day forward. You think Trump knows what such mundane items cost? Oh, no doubt Hillary surely does not GET IT either (not sure how she got in this).....
                    Bottom line, a BILLIONAIRE relating to a millionaires issues is a obtuse thought at best. But a BILIONAIRE relating to a first-line service worker or someone making a living with there hands ..............I sincerely think not! But it does make for a wonderful campaign slogan and seems to be something for "some" folks to hold onto.

                          Maybe an understanding is a better word then relating. Like was stated above, you can rule out the usual suspects of motivation a politician would have for running for office. I would be curious to what the motivation is if it isn't to give back to the country that made him rich. The only thing left if it isn't that is some megalomaniacal desire for power. If its that then why is he bothering to fulfill campaign promises, that's the first thing politicians do is fail on those. My wife recently bought his book The Art of the Deal. . Everything he is doing now he has been doing for his entire adult life. He seems to have come up with some formula of principles and has stuck with it. When I say everything I mean everything. Its almost scary.
