Tell you what, if you're in New York right now, I'll buy you a beer and spend the rest of the evening telling you why Trump's pitch is resonating with this country. Otherwise I'm not interested in arguing with this kind of uninformed trolling.
Edit: Since the parent post has been heavily edited now its author found out what an assumption (and a visa) is, I want to stress that it started off as blatantly nationalist crap claiming one can't possibly understand Trump if their website says "Athens, Greece".
There's a ton of reasons why Trump's pitch is popular. The core reason is because he's making it resonate. The driver behind that is that trump is in fact a salesman rather than a career politician. Plenty of people have made this point far better than me; one of the cleaner explanations I found is from youtuber NerdWriter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_aFo_BV-UzI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_aFo_BV-UzI

- blhack 10y agoLet's pretend that this is HN 8 years ago. You guys absolutely HAVE to meet up and become friends and start a startup together that aims to solve the problem of people from different political ideologies misunderstanding one another! Do it!
