There are many people in America who stand in opposition to Donald Trump, but still don't understand him.

They don't understand the appeal.

They don't understand the people in their own families who vote for Donald Trump, despite being against everything that he stands for in the conduct of their own personal lives.

their fingers on the pulse of the American people, and they don't understand the Trump phenomenon.

The defining issue of our time is the total and complete collapse of trust
