There's a picture going around of Trump at a McDonald's eating his burger with a knife and fork. I know this is shocking to "regular" Americans, but they need to realize that was probably the first time he's ever eaten at a McDonald's, and he's doing those things now to look like a "regular" American. But he's not one. He's in a "class" that doesn't frequent fast food joints or any other place where "regular" Americans go.
I had a friend once who had, by virtue of her husband's business, occasions to interact with the progeny of corporate fortunes. One such lady, whose name was Tucky, was surprised to find out that you can buy ready-made drapes and bedspreads that match. After all, her decorating needs were not met by shopping at department stores.
But here's what's also perhaps shocking:
Why's that? Business owners? People who stand to inherit money? Or are people lying in exit polls?As compared with most Americans, Trump’s voters are better off. The median household income of a Trump voter so far in the primaries is about $72,000, based on estimates derived from exit polls and Census Bureau data. That’s lower than the $91,000 median for Kasich voters. But it’s well above the national median household income of about $56,000. It’s also higher than the median income for Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders supporters, which is around $61,000 for both.
