I track political parties, the mob, white supremacists. To make sense of Chester County, PA politics you need some expertise in all 3. Trump is a natural fit for me. Trump checks all 3 boxes.

To navigate Chester County, PA politics you need knowledge of politics, organized crime and white supremacist organizations. If you don’t know which politicians are connected to organized crime and which are connected to right wing extremists you will be in the dark.

Many news people track only politics. A small fraction of news people track “the mob”. An even smaller fraction track white supremacists. I think that’s why local news that follows politics here has so much difficulty making sense of Chester County politics.

Chester County politics is organized crime, political infighting and white supremacy, with one of those 3 dominating some part of politics here. Without expertise in all 3 Chester County politics makes no sense.

Trump is a celebrity TV personality with a lifetime association with the New York/New Jersey Mafia and a lifetime association with Russian immigrants living in Trump properties. Trump’s dad and Trump are white supremacists. 

Trump checks all the boxes of my somewhat limited expertise.
