I mean, Trump is here because of despair too. Hillary promised "more of Obama", and the desperate people not benefiting from the roaring markets thought "I've been in misery for the past x years, she's promising more of that, the other guy is saying 'change', he might be full of shit, but what if he strikes it lucky, who do I pick, more of the same, or a chance of my life improving?".

Which is also why it was ridiculous that Trump (and his base) celebrated the latest GDP numbers, when on the ground the people were still suffering. And then we have Amazon, Uber, etc, "jobs"...
