Trump comes from a WASP family that looked down on and exploited Irish Catholics, immigrants, and working class people. (Along with blacks; remember Fred Trump was a Klansman, and the KKK hated Catholics and immigrants as well.) Biden was alluding to this history, suggesting that Trump continues to carry on that rich WASP superiority complex no matter how much he pretended to care about the WWC, and I thought it was a powerful moment.

Also, leave the forum for a year.
