This attack on immigrants below the poverty line — isn’t it likely to offend some of his base? Surely they’ll recognize the inherent classicism and know where they stand, right? Right???

I wouldn't hold my breath for this to be the tipping point.

I believe the politically correct term in honkey plant.
Just call it a racism factory and move on.

Trump’s presumed lower education/income/hate on coastal elites eats that up because as a general rule, it is effective rhetoric to identify and vilify a group in a worse situation than where the hypothetical base is. It makes them feel good because it gives them someone to stick their nose up at. Classic psychological device to use.
I for one am not convinced that 40% of the American voter that counts for his base are comprised of this. I think the base comes from all socio-economic spaces - and while some take his rhetoric to heart, many of his supporters don’t believe in what he says at all but tribally get a huge kick out of him sticking his thumb in liberals eyes and causing the daily outrage machine to churn in overdrive. In fact, I am inclined to think that hurting the perceived enemy is more satisfying than actually doing any good for the country.
