Everyone claims they're the true voice of the 99%. Trump, despite being a billionaire, claims he's defending Americans workers by imposing tariffs and deporting undocumented immigrants. More broadly the right claims that they're fighting against the "elites" in the media/academia/corporations/"deep state".
- karparov 2y agoTrump and Musk claiming they fight against "the elite" is one of the major jokes the rest of the world is laughing at.
