Digby: Yeah, these people voted for Trump because of his trade policies

[mcar]

From a CNN report on a follow-up support group of Trump supporters. Trump's nominees are 'top of the class,' Obama told illegal immigrants they can vote - just Google it! Sorry, but these people are not concerned about the economy or trade, they are just stupid.

“How do you feel about the ‘white nationalist movement,’ the alt-right, some Neo-Nazi salutes that we’ve seen? What are we to make of what feels like a groundswell of that with the Steve Bannon-Breitbart connection,” Camerota asked the group after one participant claimed that the people “that Trump has appointed or nominated have all been top of the class, number one in their field, extremely talented, great leaders on their own.”...

Johnson continued that many anti-Trump voters had little room to complain if they failed to vote in the election. “Voting is a privilege in this country,” Johnson said, before adding, “and you need to be legal, not like California where three million illegals voted.”...

Johnson then decided to source her false report directly to President Obama. “I think there was a good amount because the president told people that they could vote,” Johnson claimed. “They said, ‘The president said I could vote. I’m here illegally.’”...

“Did you hear President Obama said that illegal people could vote?” asked Camerota, to which nearly all the participants nodded their heads and replied, “Yes.”
