At first I thought he was a joke. But when he talked about bringing good jobs back, building the wall against illegal immigrants, taking a businessman’s eye to government, I changed to a ‘yes.’” Trump spoke to Sharon’s sense that she was a stranger in her own land, a feeling echoed across the country by millions who voted for him. Those who told postelection pollsters that “things have changed so much that I often feel like a stranger in my own country” and that the “U.S. needs protecting against foreign influence” were three and a half times more likely to favor Trump than those who did not.
