Trump has won the attention of the working class on the issues of trade and immigration. These issues are intertwined under the heading of “open borders” and are central to the division within the GOP.

My Take - His recent history is interesting but his conclusions are all wrong, especially espousing Teddy Roosevelt. TR was a progressive, the name adopted by socialists because socialism wasn't popular in the U.S. because it's foundationally atheistic, so they adopted the name progressive to fool the public. Teddy had to know that, yet he was the first national leader to give the progressive movement personality, and for that reason I consider TR to have been the worst President the 20th century. All the fascist policies of Woodrow Wilson and then the rebirth of those policies in the form of Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal were given foundation by TR.
