'But it was no victory of the people.'
It was a victory of the people over the elite, irrespective of how many people sided with the elite, the same as in Brexit where people sided with Cameron and his teams.
"Trump victory is a win for the little guy over the elite
...
Trump stands today as the greatest disrupter in modern politics, the winner of the biggest upset imaginable, but for most of the campaign, he was not even the best argument for his own candidacy. That distinction belonged to the millions upon millions of everyday Americans who found in him the bare-knuckled brawler they were desperately seeking."

"Donald Trump's victory is a rude wake-up call for the elite"

This is the biggest revolution we have ever seen. Never before have the people beaten the elites in this manner. The elites are in full-blown panic mode, everything they planned in their think tanks for us for over 60 years has been torn up by Trump.
Oxbridge Robert Peston spells it out clearly
"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."
The elites and their servant class never imagined that the people could wake up and no longer be fooled by the spin of the BBC and the media teams. That is why the servant class felt brave enough to insult Trump with gleeful abandon and that is why they are all now in tatters.
