The 45th President of the United States appears in Hochschild’s book during his campaign for office, and specifically during his rally in New Orleans just before the Louisiana primary that he won. He was a Tea Party favorite and Hochschild’s Chapter 15 explores the affinities between his disregard for liberal feeling rules and the emotional self-interest of the conservative whites she met. Many Southern conservatives felt that, for the first time in a long time, Trump valued the endurance self and promised to give white workers the American Dream back.
