It was noticeable standing in the crowd at the inauguration that the Trump supporters, the people standing outside on the lawns, are not the rich people we saw in previous Republican administrations. They were lower-middle-class, humble people who were thrilled to be in the nation's capital for the first time. Their clothes were not fancy and a lot of them don't seem to be able to afford good dental care. They are hoping for good-paying jobs with more security. Trump was speaking to them directly when he said Buy American, Hire American. No one knows if these are empty promises from Trump, but his supporters see what he is saying as a hopeful message for them.
