“I’m a ‘Never Trump’ guy. I never liked him. . . . The media has sort of asked me to be this spokesman for the white working-class voter who’s voting for Trump, right? But as somebody who doesn’t like Trump myself, I sort of — I understand where Trump’s voters come from, but I also don’t like Trump himself, and that made me realize that maybe I’m not quite part of either world totally.”
“I go back and forth between thinking Trump is a cynical asshole like Nixon . . . or that he’s
