Why losers love Trump

When Teflon Don Trump appeared at the N.R.A.’s recent national convention, he had a simple message: Hillary Clinton “wants to take away your guns.”

This was familiar rhetorical ground: warning of dire losses has been the core of Trump’s campaign.

  • Free trade means that “we’re losing our jobs, we’re losing our money.”
  • China’s trade practices amount to “the greatest theft in the history of the world.”
  • We need a wall to stop illegal immigration because “we’re losing so much.”


In Trump’s world, things are much worse than they seem, and it’s because American prosperity has been stolen: “We’re losing everything.”
