well, that chart doesnt really tell the true story. in 1978, all of china was piss poor. since then, the top 10/20/30 percent have made the jump into what we would call middle class. due to the low national income on which the comparison is based, their moderate gains in income and standard of living increased the overall chinese national income by a factor of 5 or 10 or so. hence, the share of the bottom half fell sharply, while they actually remained roughly as poor as before. so the chart going down for china is actually the result of growth in income and standard of living in the top 50% of chinese.

by contrast, the downward spiral for the usa comes from increasing inequality as well as actual losses of (inflation-adjusted) income for the bottom half of the US population. so when it comes to the US, a lot of folks truly are worse off now than they were back in 1978.

He beat one of the most powerful political machines without political experience and without being informed on many if not most issues.

Most of the common folk have had failed business attempts and marriages even though Trump had significant opportunity and resources (much more than most) he still was able to make people feel like he was one of them

Except for the informed part, Putin is a brilliant criminal mastermind.

The Russia narrative is idiotic at best. I'm sorry to tell you, but random websites that most people probably didn't see or care for didn't help Trump win the election.

Hillary Clinton had the full support of MSM and celebrity's and the support of the Obama administration. So to say random websites backed by Russia is the reason for Clintons loss is complete lunacy, but I don't expect much from the lefts equivalent to Nekosama.

populism & 66$ from his own pocket, many people had the illusion he was close to them, that is partially true.
not to mention the taxsheet, is released btw ?
