The process of the middle class disappearing is a normal process under capitalism . We appear to agree.
"This transition from a large middle class to the rich getting richer and the poor becoming poorer has been occurring for decades under successive governments"
I also agree with the above statement of yours.
However, being a billionaire capitalist with a global corporation himself Trump is organically incapable of doing anything whatsoever except to accelerate the process. Which he has done in spades. Whatever Trump has done in four years, nothing was intended to help the middle class. Let alone the majority which is the working class.
