But it may be the gross economic inequality and lack of general opportunity that set the stage for Trump.

I understand the frustrations that led to Trump winning the White House. IMO, mainly the three I's: immigration, inflation and incumbency. The last administration was... useless at best, mostly unresponsive to real Americans' needs. I did not know whether to laugh or cry when Kamala Harris said she would continue Biden's policies unchanged. Morons all around.
But nobody voted for Trump to start a trade war with our alliance, abandon NATO, and realign US with Russia, and of course, the silly stuff like taking over Canada and renaming the Gulf of Mexico. Greenland is important for potential rare earth minerals that China controls more than 80% of, but threatening to take them over is not the way to go about it. He could prop up a friendly regime like US did in Saudi Arabia and get mining rights as they did for oil. But when you think it's OK to grab everything by the, you don't plan like that.
