What I do not understand is why anyone thought Trump would try to improve the economic situation

the american capitalist political economy necessitates there being a permanent underclass and MAGA supposedly represents a return to the old social contract where if you were white and male you should not expect to find yourself there.

MAGA expects to accomplish this not by constructive government social programs for specifically white people, but by weaponizing the state against their political, cultural, racial rivals to remove them from competition for good jobs, housing, etc.
