Mary, I agree with your analysis. When young Donald accompanied his father to construction sites, he learned how those guys talk and think. Many people deeply disliked school and teachers (mostly women, right?). The Apprentice did wonders for him. New Yorkers knew his history of stiffing contractors, etc., but people wouldn’t trust their advice because “coastal elites” became a group to despise along with the rest of the “others.”
