The "otherization" message is always explicit: taking action against specific groups will benefit those struggling, suffering, or feeling left out. Trump didn't only attack immigrants as others. He falsely claimed immigrants were taking American jobs, lowering American wages, and increasing the tax burden on American citizens.

He falsely claimed immigrants were taking American jobs, lowering American wages, and increasing the tax burden on American citizens.
These erroneous claims have been culturally rooted and refreshed over decades, making it easier for Trump to make his case. The incorrect messages also contain an intuitive but false promise that limiting those who share in the pie will result in more significant pieces for everyone. Four years of Trump has proved his claims to be historically and empirically false. The real American Crisis was a system that produced & supported someone like Trump and the citizens who wrongly thought a wall would solve their problems.
