The election of Donald Trump shows the Republican Party is now the party of the working class since Democrats have abandoned them, Trump economic adviser Stephen Moore told Newsmax TV.
“I think that this is a bit of a realignment of the Republican Party,” Moore said Thursday on “The Steve Malzberg Show.” “The Republicans are now the ones who represent working-class Americans.”
When Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton called Trump supporters “deplorables, racist, sexist, homophobes, that’s how liberals believe about Middle America,” Moore said. “You know what, Middle America understood it, and they said these people hold us in contempt. I think they paid a high price for it.”
Moore said Trump will spend his first 100 days overturning many of President Barack Obama’s controversial executive orders, much as Ronald Reagan did when he assumed office from Jimmy Carter.
