'Its hilarious that you still buy the elites thing, when his cabinet is full of lobbyists and people who have exploited their own elite connections. '
You have missed the point about elites and the people, which was what 2016 was all about and which even Oxbridge Robert Peston says is a bigger event than the fall of communism or Thatcher's privatisation. The people have beaten the elites.
Just being educated or rich or working for Goldman Sachs or being an Oxbridge PPE doesn't mean you work for the elites as opposed to the people. The people want intelligent people to work for them, that is why they voted Trump in, and Trump is Ivy League as well as being in a league of his own when you compare him to Cameron, Blair, Bush and Clinton, let alone Nick Clegg. Trump's choices for cabinet positions will work for the people no matter how rich and clever they are and that is great.
When the people who caused the revolution of 2016 that shook the Oxbridge teams who serve the elites speak of the elites, they speak of the ones described in this article

It was the Great Rejection – 2016 was when people in Britain and America chucked out the traditional way of running their respective countries. This year we'll learn whether we have started a global revolt and whether we have made ourselves richer, poorer, safer or more vulnerable.
Fog will hang over the new political and economic landscape for a while yet. But we should be in no doubt that there has been an earthquake and we are living through changes to our lives and livelihoods more important even than the momentous transfer of economic power from the state to the private sector by Thatcher and Reagan in the 1980s, and the consequent collapse of communism.
Now in some ways the timing of the revolt against the Establishment was odd, because those on lower incomes in Britain and America – angry that their earnings had gone nowhere for years – voted to throw the old guard out the window just when their living standards were beginning to improve. But there was a prevailing sense that the way we've been running the global economy for 30 years will only ever enrich a plutocracy and no one else, and enough was enough.

Of course, he still doesn't really understand what has happened, just like the rest of the Establishment commentators. He thinks it is about globalisation like the rest of the Establishment teams do, but I have explained in these threads what it was really all about.
