“He’s one of them.”

This is what Fox news reports about DT, because DT stopped at a construction site for a photo op while on his way to court for paying off a porn star.

He’s one of them.

DT, the billionaire, is one of them, like those construction workers, just like one of the regular people.

It’s such nonsense.

Hogwash.

This isn’t a matter of opinion. These are outright lies and total perversions of the truth, just to craft the brand, to do the public relations, to paint an image of this billionaire that the American people can relate to, but there is no relating to do here.

DT does not know what it’s like to live paycheck to paycheck. He doesn’t know what it’s like to be poor, to be helpless, to have no money or resources, and thus no options, even if you wanted to pull yourself up by the bootstraps, to be a go-getter, there’s no way for you to get to go to begin the getting.

DT doesn’t know the insecurity of not knowing where you will live next month. He does not know the fear of ending up on the literal streets, sleeping in shelters or park benches, not a nickel in your pocket.

DT does not know the lives of these construction workers.
