Donald Trump.

But I hate elites. They all live in upscale areas, they believe their college degrees make them special (which they don't) and they look down on average middle Americans.

They all live in the same liberal cocktail circuit. I loved watching Donald Trump call them "absolute scum" and then watch America elect him President.;

I enjoy seeing people I don't like put in their place.

As Michael Moore of all people said, "The enemy of my enemy is who I vote for."

If the majority of people who hate Trump are people I dislike, I like him more.

Oh, triggered.

You're misinterpreting "elites" from "rich people".

As liberal professor Joan Williams said:

“Most working-class people have little contact with the truly rich,” Williams explains, “but they suffer class affronts from professionals every day: the doctor who unthinkingly patronizes the medical technician, the harried office worker who treats the security guard as invisible, the overbooked business traveler who snaps at the TSA agent.”

Williams chastises the professional-managerial elite, or PME, for the sort of thoughtless and condescending behavior that breeds animosity among the white working class, or WWC, as she dubbed it in the post-election Harvard Business Review essay that inspired this book (apparently you’re not an official socioeconomic segment without an acronym). The president, for one, knows better. “Brashly wealthy celebrities epitomize the fantasy of being wildly rich while losing none of your working-class cred,” Williams writes. “Trump epitomizes this.”


That's your definition of 'elite.'  Others are free to disagree with you.
