As for Trump’s phrase “the forgotten people”—the people he said he was fighting for—it echoed Franklin Roosevelt’s 1932 speech about “the forgotten man at the bottom of the economic pyramid” and also contained a dash of Huey Long from the same era.
The difference being that FDR actually was trying to help working class people, while Trump was trying to exploit them with his blatant lies.
