You don't have to read Rand to have heard the rhetoric, or understood the beta- and gamma-male psychology behind it.

Trump is a businessman. And businessmen can do no wrong. They are smarter, more virtuous, more capable than the 47%: the looters, the takers, the moochers.

Businessmen are the Master Race, they are the Entrepreneurial Elite, they are Those Who Deserve to Rule. Everybody else is just an employee, a worthless drone who is too lazy or unambitious or too stupid or crooked to take charge and make things happen.

And those who aren't businessmen, but feel they should be, or are convinced they would be if it weren't for the greedy poor and the Liberals who are always stealing from them what is rightfully theirs, will always vote for and support those who they feel are their natural brothers and allies: folks "just like them".

And subconsciously, they really believe that when the entrepreneurial and executive elite finally takes charge they will somehow be rewarded for their loyalty and admiration and support.

And when the businessman finally does achieve political power and turns out to be just another incompetent gangster and none of the wealth or prestige ever trickles down to the Archie Bunkers and Joe the Plumbers of this world, when they plunge the economy into another recession, they have a ready-made, all-purpose excuse that will help them save face.
