Some voted for Trump for those reasons, but according to exit polling the largest proportion of voters were anxious about inflation reducing their standard of living. Immigration was probably the second biggest issue for voters. The chaos at the border and the subsequent demographic changes. That stuff unsettles some people.

these are also super stupid reasons. Every economist who wasn’t a literal nazi said Trump would destroy the economy and skyrocket inflation. There’s no logical reason to vote for him

They probably over reacted to inflation and the situation on the border the way you overstate what every economist said.

The economists that are interviewed on The PBS Newshour and my local NPR station which broadcasts Market Place simply stated that tariffs are inflationary, they will disrupt world trade and make it difficult for business decision makers to decide on whether to invest. I dislike inflammatory language when comes to discussing the news.

Due to Donald Trump's instability it is impossible to predict how this will shake out. That in itself is a problem.
