You're a smart person and can probably manage your money better than most Americans swept up in consumerist hysteria.
The problem is, most people bitching about "not having enough money" will say that the decisions you made are "not good enough" for them. They believe they are entitled to more before others who have less so they can give that excess to the people ripping them off.
And if you say anything about it, you're the bad guy.
Honestly, it's very possible that someone close to her told her that trump actually sucks.

This might come as a shock to you all, but a lot of conservatives are conservative because they recognize the Party of Clintons does not have their interests at hand. Democrats would have better results in elections if they ran more candidates like Bernie Sanders, but they don't want to pay more in taxes so we end up with the Clintons and a culture war.
I fully expect a useful idiot to reply saying "conservatives don't represent them either," and that's true. Neither party represents the working class. However, since our rulers get richer by dividing us with a culture war, that's what each party encourages.
Until we can stop succumbing to their two-pronged strategy, we shouldn't expect the political climate to improve. I won't hold my breath.
Remember kids, science is always open to questioning. If anyone is telling you not to question science, they are a moron who treats it like a religion.
You must not know what the word irony means, then.
