Trump and Trump-like supporters in NZ: a history of their support and likely success: Chris Trotter (pn671)




Donald Trump

Chris Trotter


Chris Trotter says as anybody with the intestinal fortitude to brave the commentary threads of local news-sites, large and small, will attest: the number of Trump-supporting New Zealanders is really quite astounding.  

I don't find it that astounding. Indeed, if you look beyond and behind the largely lumpen-proletariat who comprise the face of Trump supporters you'll find a much more surprising number of highly educated New Zealanders who support  much of what Trump represents.   But first, read what Chris has to sayI'll have my say in a day or two.
