Why Are Poor Americans Voting for the Party of the Rich?

One of the most surprising data points to emerge from the U.S. election last week was a significant swing toward Donald Trump among the poorest of U.S. voters—those who earn less than $50,000 a year. The shift seems to be part of a broader political trend, and it raises a question about class and politics in the United States: Why are poor people supporting a candidate whose policies have generally benefited the rich?

The Economics of Donald Trump

Weeks before the presidential election, Adam and Cameron discuss the state of Donald Trump’s financial empire.
