Inverse snobbery (finding "posh" accents hilarious and assuming posh people are vain, a bit stupid and overreliant on their parents) has been around for a lot longer than that in the UK, including amongst middle class people living in the Home Counties! As has posh people downplaying their background or making self-deprecating jokes about it. Wouldn't have thought many people would associate Trump's brash noveau-rich American stereotype act with the English Establishment, and Brexit actually made some Old Etonians popular in parts of the country that historically had very little time for them.
