The mainstream media’s portrayal of Americans who voted for Donald Trump only strengthens their bond with the president, according to author and columnist Daniel Allott, who spent three years traveling through the country to interview swing voters in counties that played a key role in Trump’s victory of the 2016 White House race.
“Shortly after the 2017 inauguration of President Trump, I set out on the road traveling to and reporting from and living in nine counties across the country in nine different states,” Allott told The Epoch Times’ Jan Jekielek. In his new book “On the Road in Trump’s America: A Journey Into the Heart of a Divided Nation,” Allott documented what he learned during his stay in those counties, six of which backed former President Barack Obama but switched over to Trump in 2016.
