A supporter of the troll wrote an essay that clearly presents his thinking, which he says his community mostly shares.

The people know the facts of their experience, but they have been sold misguided explanations for them. For instance, they blame welfare, rather than war, for high taxes, and they don't realize that they pay so much because businesses and rich people don't pay their share.

Here is the essay itself.

Right-wing disinformation includes a phony site which pretends to recruit paid phony protesters against the troll.

It is standard practice for the right wing to falsely accuse their opponents of what they themselves do. The troll's "press conference" had paid supporters.

The Tea Party used fake "grass roots" support.

The loser is attacking science massively.

In China, basically anyone can get full tracking data about anyone for under 15 dollars.

The White House web site now promotes Melania Trump's branded products.

That's the troll's totally shameless approach to conflict of interest.
