I’m going to clarify a few basic concepts before answering you. Inmigrants are ordinary people, women are ordinary people, black people are ordinary people. Having said what should be obvious, your whole statement holds false.

Trump doesn’t care about ordinary people in Europe and is not on their side. Is on the side of rich white men. His ICE policies show he isn’t on the side of inmigrants. The antichoice politics, show that he isn’t on the side of women. He isn’t even providing basic pregnancy healthcare, so much for “prolife”. Neither he offer addecuate protection against rape, since white rapist can “grab them by the pussy”.

His efforts on over rule the Obama care show he isn’t on the side of people who need affordable healthcare to not die (which in Europe we already have. People with cancer won’t ruin their families, go figure!). Yet, he wants that Europe invest more in war than in healthcare and education… And the way he have behaved when Black people asked something as basic as to not being killed and threatened is to support the racist show he isn’t on black people side.

So no, Trump is not on ordinary people side. I wish you and your family good health and never growing old (since old age usually means you need more care) because Trump is not going to provide with even half the care we receive in Europe unless you pay outrageous amounts of money.

The problem is not the press or leftist or whatever other scapegoat Trump decide to blame next, the problem is that we have been living with public education and healthcare for decades. We know it works and like it. And we certainly won’t believe all the rethoric he and people like him use against public education and healthcare. By the way, those two things are very good for productivity and to improve the “ordinary people” lives.

While Europeand might like your country as tourist, we don’t want to live there. We don’t want your policies. And that is not “antiamericanism” is just plain pragmatism.
