i don't know why don't you ask ChatGPT?. . Here I'll do it for you:

A populist leader typically displays the following key characteristics:

  1. Anti-Establishment Rhetoric: They position themselves as outsiders fighting against a corrupt or out-of-touch elite or establishment.
  2. People-Centric Messaging: They claim to represent "the will of the people," often simplifying complex issues into binary "us vs. them" narratives.
  3. Charismatic Leadership: They rely heavily on personal charisma and direct emotional appeal to the masses, often bypassing traditional institutions or media.
  4. Strongman Image: Many populist leaders present themselves as decisive, tough, and capable of taking bold actions where others have failed.
  5. Nationalism: Populist leaders often emphasize national pride, sovereignty, and identity, sometimes promoting protectionist or anti-immigrant policies.
  6. Simplified Solutions: They propose easy or radical fixes to complex problems, which may sound appealing but lack depth or feasibility.
  7. Direct Communication: They prefer direct communication channels like social media, rallies, or public speeches, reducing reliance on traditional media filters.
  8. Polarization: They tend to create or amplify societal divisions, portraying opponents as enemies of the people.
 
If Trump loves the rich so much, why did he steal 500 billion of their hard earned wealth from them?

while at the same time promoting tax cuts that grow inequality.
I was substantially better off in the period from 2017-Covid, than before or after.
Income inequality is an excuse metric by people who loved to keep me poor.
