Trump Complains His Opposition Is Called "Elite"

At a rally in Minnesota last night, Donald Trump lamented that liberals and Democrats are often referred to as "the elite."

“You ever notice they always call the other side 'the elite.' The elite! Why are they elite? I have a much better apartment than they do. I’m smarter than they are. I’m richer than they are. I became president and they didn’t.”

Of course, what he doesn't mention is the label "the elite" is being used by far-right convservatives - his own people - as a putdown.

Watch the statement below.

Trump and I actually agree on something. People need to stop calling Democrats 'the elite' when what that really mean is that Democrats read books. pic.twitter.com/G4vx7BWYmB

Trump has had a lifelong, ongoing fight with those considered the ‘elites’ because he’s white trash and does not try to hide that fact.

Money + white trash = monied white trash…absolutely nothing more.#MorningJoe
