It's all Obama's fault, obviously. He let Capitalism walk all over the Working Class, right?

Or maybe it was the most obstructionist Repub Congresses in History.

Basically explains Trump's uneducated supporters' anger.

Trump supporters are generally not poor, even if some at the margins vote for him:

So whoever's losing their jobs and not getting them back aren't his people; historically they're those at the bottom of the pole, often minorities.

Appears trump's crowd are the ones with the good low edu jobs remaining, and they know it, trying to keep mexicans or whatever from taking those. Trump's effective strategy was translating the racial resentment for lesser ethnics like illegals into a fear these people are coming to take that work. It's a pretty powerful motivator for self-interest, with quite some historical precedent.

Flipped the other way was the college+ educated breaking for democrats, but they were all in the wrong areas to win the EC.

More news for trump to take credit for.

Americans are taking out mortgages like they haven’t since the Great Recession.

According to the Federal Reserve’s flow of funds report, total outstanding mortgage debt grew by 1.9% in the third quarter of 2016. That’s the highest jump in outstanding housing debt since the third quarter of 2008.

The data dovetails with those issued by the Census Bureau of late, which showed that sales of newly constructed homes jumped 17.8% year-over-year, and data from the National Association of Realtors which showed that existing home salesrose nearly 6% in October over 2015 to reach a new cyclical peak.

just like his entire life, he's born on third base and going to take credit for hitting a home run, attracting all the fans, and building the entire stadium.
