I particularly like the statement in your video; "he offers himself as the personified answer to all problems."

I don't think he attacks his wealthy peers as corrupt (other than Hillary) and I don't think he offers "a relief against democracies choices." Instead I think it's more of a white working and middle class backlash against everything perceived as "the other" not sure if you have seen this (warning graphic language) but it resonated with me, a former racist working class white guy gives his thoughts on Trump and racism in the US, I think since 9/11 it's a culmination of fear and an underlying white nationalistic movement, Dixon White explains (Thank you White America for f@*%ing yourself);
