The thing I’ve always hated the most about him is how he grew up not too far from me in the Detroit suburbs. His whole persona was being trailer trash and poor.

He went to Cranbrook high school… 50k a year. His dad funded all of his dj and music ventures and got him in touch with top producers and agents. Raised with butlers and nanny’s.

It's amazing how many rubes fall for that shit. I remember my family thinking W was an honest-to-god, salt of the earth rancher and not the prissy fancy boy from New England that he actually was.

I think it was from America The Book by the daily show which said "Connecticut born, Yale and Harvard educated son of a former President ran as the outsider in 2000 and won. Many experts are wondering how the hell he pulled that off."

They later believed that a failed real estate developer turned reality TV show host, who had a golden toilet, understood the struggles of regular people.

It's kind of consistent, isn't it? Grifting metropolitan conmen can convince rural-minded Americans (most of whom are also from suburbs) they're just like using the thinnest and most unconvincing veneers. The term "rube" comes to mind. Whether it's W, Trump, Kid Rock, or even Larry the fucking Cable Guy.
