Hurts the petit bourgeoisie, which is the only ones the working class see. Also, because Trump is a vengeful narcissist, you can bet that certain sections of the liberal elite are going to get a coating.

So billionaires will be way better off, politicians will be fine, the working class is doomed, rights will be stripped away from vulnerable minorities, but that's fine because small business owners will also be hurt? I just question the rationale of that strategy. It is literally a 4chan NEET's "screw everyone" plot.
