That may be your lived experience, but it doesn't match the data.[1]

The working class is shifting to Trump because his rhetoric matches what they want to see: trade restrictions, protections on domestic labor, and the return of good/stable manufacturing jobs.

Trump is almost certainly not the best representation of the American worker, but he's winning because he, at least, tells them what they want to hear.
