Now imagine that you're doing that and cranking it up to 11 to try to demonstrate that you're like someone that you want voting for you. A lot of politics is just saying things that people agree with and acting like them to convince them that you're aligned with them. Trump's political goal is to get and keep white blue-collar voters voting Republican, not Democratic.
