How Trump is Winning Over Blue Collar America
Posted: Wed Jul 09, 2025 8:52 am
Political aficionados across America are all wondering the same thing about our 2016 Presidential race: How is Trump in this?
This Presidential campaign has not been like any other in history. A complete political outsider is the Republican presidential candidate. History is being made right in front of us, but everyone’s question is how did this happen? Donald Trump has taken a lot of criticism for rash comments and rude remarks, yet still surged in the polls. In an America filled telegram number list with political correctness this doesn’t make sense. Or does it?
Blue-collar Evangelical Americans are, in my experience, the most outspoken Trump supporters. He seems to have struck a chord with them, so to understand this I reached out to different evangelicals who work blue-collar jobs and asked why they supported Trump. Read their responses below:
“I voted Trump because he does not sound or act like the politicians I am sick of supporting. Trump may be a white-collar man but speaks and acts like a blue-collar worker, a guy who we could talk to at the water cooler and roll his sleeves up and get dirty. As a blue collar worker we know those kind of people in the most part to be tough, trustworthy and take pride in their work.” ~Stiemy Williams, age 44, Directional Driller at Halliburton Energy, Oklahoma
“I support his stance on border control and the 2nd Amendment and the Syrian refugees. He will be for the small businessmen and he tells it like it is instead of worrying about political correctness. He is an outsider, and those are just a few reasons.” ~Alicia Holland, age 39, Waitress, California
