The crazy thing is that the "mediocre" White man is one of the things that Ayn Rand rails against in Atlas Shrugged. The fact is that you don't have to have any real talent or intelligence to be successful in America if you have money or the right connections, as long as you're white. The crazy thing is that Trump has managed to convince so many under- and uneducated White people that he's some sort of John Galt. John Galt is a myth. The mediocre White man is quite real though.
