Mr. Speaker, President Trump doesn't have many fans in the political, media, or academic establishment. The definition of ``establishment'' is a ruling class or a controlling group. They oppose the President because he is not one of them. They hold different views of immigration, trade, regulations, political correctness, and media bias. Their beliefs are threatened by his world view, so they are relentlessly trying to discredit his Presidency. The President, I believe, sees himself as representing the working men and women of America; Republicans, Democrats, and Independents. This is the broad middle class and those who aspire to be part of it. The establishment has linked arms and resists the President's reforms, but all true reform starts with the voice of the people, and they are on his side. ____________________
