Donald Trump's popularity can be explained by white men having a chip on their shoulder, New York Times columnist Anand Giridharadas argued Tuesday on MSNBC.
"I think there needs to be a reckoning, frankly, with white manhood in this country," Giridharadas said on "Morning Joe."
"Globalization and all of that was hard on everybody," the columnist said, but said only white men are "lashing out."
"It wasn’t just hard on white guys," Giridharadas said. "For some reason, women lost their jobs in globalization, black and brown people lost their jobs in globalization, and managed not to lash out.
Whites "were more wounded by," globalization, Bloomberg's Margaret Carlson added, "because their expectations were so much higher."
"In an earlier age, they were in charge," she added. "And they were the daddies, and then they weren’t. They lost some of their, you know, their standing. So that’s why I think the backlash is there for them.”
