I would say that Trump's ability to convince people he is knocking down the elites, and instead using the office to benefit both his elite self and his elite inner circle is his greatest hustle, but actually, its quiet an ordinary move that elites have been pulling since the start of time.

I feel like to really knock down the elites, you need someone who is not elite. However, anyone who rises to this kind of status by definition becomes elite even if they weren't before, so it's kind of a self fulfilling failure. True revolution can probably only come from many non elite people seeking the same goal. This kind of revolution would most likely be squashed by someone elite.
