To be honest, I have never understood why the “average joe” ever identified with Trump, whose whole point is that he is a “successful” billionaire businessman. Why they believe he’s looking out for the little guy is beyond me.
Colloquially, internationally, when people say America, I don’t think of them referring to anywhere but the US. I’m not about making things US centric either, just saying.
