I did read "Hillbilly Elegy" and come from a rust-belt city with rural family.

I understand your perspective, but I don't think that explains most of Trump's actions. The (very valid!) critique of globalist profiteering you shared has been boiled down into something beyond economics and into tribalism.

I blame decades of right-wing media dominance on cable TV and rural radio.
