On Wednesday in Scranton, Matt Wolfson, a 45-year-old former construction worker, looked around at the poverty in the Rust Belt city and thought the nation needed a change in leadership.

Wolfson said he didn’t like the dictatorial aspect of Trump’s personality but thought it could help keep the country out of wars and perhaps bring peace to some other conflicts, including Ukraine.
