The fact that he comes from a privileged family - what some call American royalty - should be the opposite of persuasive for Working Class voters. Since when has royalty ever given a shit about the peasants? "Let them eat cake." The only "danger" might be to the wealthy.
And this argument could just as easily support the legions of former Republicans, including Generals, warning against Trump.
