Well on "main st," Trump is the messiah. So maybe we shouldn't really care what they think.

Are you aware that the major players on Wall Street and Mainstreet all donated to Clinton far more than Trump? Clinton’s corporate contributions dwafted Trumps.

I mean, I’m not fan of Trump but to say he is looked upon favorably by corporations over his opponent is verifiably untrue. Let alone claims of “the messiah”.

mruts said the opposite.

FYI for those not getting the reference, "Main Street" is typically used to refer to investors who aren't large institutions, in contrast to "Wall Street". https://www.investopedia.com/terms/m/mainstreet.asp

(Neither of these terms are particularly accurate—I used to work a block away from Wall Street, and all the actual trading happened by ssh to New Jersey—but they're metonyms with specific meanings.)

"We" ? You are probably underestimating the number of trump supporters on HN (and in the tech scene in general)
