That's the truthy story, but not the accurate one. Trump voters have higher than average incomes and less than average unemployment than the general population. The downtrodden are not who are propelling his campaign, even if it's a convenient lie we tell ourselves, because what educated person would support this man? Hence the conclusion about race.
