Why doesn’t President Trump’s base feel betrayed yet, as so many observers think it should? Pundits have argued that they would feel alienated by his State of the Union address, his firing of Stephen K. Bannon and his trip to Davos to mingle with the global elite.

А вот, кстати, что такое fake news по-настоящему: подавляющее большинство электората было под впечатлением, что в результате республиканской реформы налоги у них вырастут. Действительности это не соответствовало, а впечатление тем не менее как-то создалось. Интересно, как бы это могло произойти.
