But the more rural the American, the more dependent he is for his way of life on the U.S. government. And the more rural the American, the more likely he was to have voted for Donald Trump. So you might think that Trump, when he took office, would do everything he could to strengthen and grow the little box marked "Rural Development." That's not what has happened.
The book "The Fifth Risk" by Michael Lewis explores the relationship between rural Americans and their dependence on government. It highlights that individuals living in rural areas are significantly reliant on federal support for their livelihoods. This demographic, which largely supported Donald Trump in the elections, seems to have unmet expectations regarding government initiatives related to rural development.
Despite the strong backing from rural voters, Trump's administration did not prioritize enhancing resources for rural communities as one might expect. This absence of action raises questions about the fulfillment of the needs of rural populations and their reliance on governmental structures for their everyday existence.
