Secret Deals, Foreign Investments: The Rise of Trump’s Crypto Firm

That is precisely the attitude that those “yokels” decided they would fully back Trump. When people are abandoned by the economic and political system, someone coming in telling them that they will get revenge, is how you get a enthusiastic supporters.

That's quite unfair. Trump's support cut across a wide swath of (mostly white) Americans, including educated and/or well-off coastal and Midwest voters. Many, many people who considered themselves well-informed, in the mainstream, and in their right mind, voted for him. And nothing changes until you can convince those people of the truth, which is that they screwed up.

I thought this election had much lower turnout than the last? That coupled with the fact that incumbents lost globally due to inflation, it isn't surprising that Trump won.

Pretending it was because we didn't baby the MAGA voters enough is misguided, IMO.
