Trump’s voters love his Twitter rants against popular culture. “Here is what the cosmopolitan class still does not get: It’s not just Donald Trump you are making fun of it, is people outside your circle, it is the voters whose sentiments and values that have been the punch line of Hollywood’s jokes for their entire lives. And along comes this guy who finally says enough is enough, and they like it.”
