a not insignificant chunk of trump support comes from well off business owners and landowners and educated professionals.
the sentiment from poors and blue collars is probably more "he says (what he thinks/what we're all thinking)" and "i'm not voting (for a democrat/woman)" and such than "the country needs a successful businessman in charge," and the more fiscally padded and/or 'self-made' understand that he's a shit businessman even if just in the backs of their minds, but they're convinced he's the one who's going to somehow put more money into their pockets (doctors!!!). even while he's not. i imagine people who post 'betrayal!' on xitter at some mess of an executive order or tariff still have his flags flying proudly.
also, the multi-dealership owner guy likes that "he says what we're all thinking."
