It makes perfect sense if you understand Trump as a figurehead repeating back to a reactionary audience that they are the only people that deserve anything, and that all “policy” amounts to punitively extracting what they are owed.

Every story sounds the same…hurt people by taking their shit and punishing them…because it the only framework through which they understand the world. They cannot be mollified with promises of common uplift because to them the world can only be “fair” if they are uplifted at the expense of others…because people are not equal and the true crime is act upon the notion that they are.
