When Trump presents the story of a self-perceived outsider who does not talk like the educated elite yet still made it rich and married a model, these supporters seem to embrace the idea of the blue-collar billionaire as one version of the American dream.
There are also large chunks of Trumps cult who pay little attention to the New York Times or Twitter as it is.
Trumps tax affairs have been reported before regarding the family business, for one Pulitzer prize-winning example from the Times, from October 2018. But the new Times investigation raises further, even more damaging questions.
