Ok, I looked it up on the book of knowledge: "Right-wing populism is a political ideology that rejects existing political consensus and often combines laissez-faire liberalism and anti-elitism. It is considered populism because of its appeal to the "common man" as opposed to the elites."

I thought populism was associated with just saying anything that is popular but not necessarily true and based on circular references or other obfuscating techniques to score easily with people of low education/IQ/logical reasoning skills.. I see I was wrong. In that case, perhaps my original remark is not valid.

Actually, I agree with Trump very much. The TTIP is horribly elitist.
