Yes he isnt part of the intellectual elite but besides that he belongs to all other elites and he has shown time and time again he hates the poor and the working class.
This.
Too many people cannot grasp that the only "elite" that matter are the economic elite, aka the capitalist class - whom Trump is both a part of and also represents. Voting in bourgeois elections is useless as it is, but to 'protest' vote, as America did in this last election, is even more useless and in this case, most of these people just ended up shooting themselves in the foot. I bet half his constituency doesn't even have the wits to realize that he looks at most of them with contempt and views them as being inferior to him and those in his class (both intellectually as well as self-worth); yet they'd probably take a bullet for him. SMH.
