The ones I like most are from readers who do not support President Trump but say I’ve helped them better understand those who do. Aug. 1, 2017 President Trump, flanked by Small Business Administration Administrator Linda McMahon, left, and adviser Ivanka Trump, right, speaks during a White House event involving owners of small businesses. It addressed many questions that I, an ‘East Coast elite snowflake’ have had about the Trump supporters. In these pieces, you won’t see me differentiate “real Americans” from others who somehow are not real Americans, or use terms such as “liberal snowflake.” Some have taken offense to my reference to East or West Coast “elitists.” If that’s the most derogatory term I use, please forgive me. I realize that not every liberal who lives on the coasts has an elitist attitude, and of course even elitists are real Americans, too.
