Trump at rally: The elite. Why are they elite? I have a better apartment than they do, I'm richer.

Tweet from CNN's Kaitlan Collins, minutes ago:





President Trump: "The elite. Why are they elite? I have a much better apartment than they do. I am smarter than they are. I am richer than they are. I became president and they didn’t. And I am representing the greatest, smartest, most loyal people on earth, the deplorables.”



And her comment on that tweet and the quote:





This quote actually sums up so much about Trump's mentality.

always thinking about himself isn't he??

Please be aware of the word "elite" he is using that to divide people again. Plus who is referring to as "elite" is it us who have a brain. This is another prop from Stephen Miller and Steve Bannon, they hate liberals and elitism.

Putin must be so happy at his "grasshopper", he is taking down the US with the help of a moron.

Trump's self-absorbed status-obsessed psyche is steaming with resentment.
His whole life, Trump's yearned for acceptance and respect.
To be someone. Yet New York society rejected his uncouth ass
again and again... through all those years he pretended to be a liberal.
Well maybe it was also the free flowing cocaine and sex at Studio 54
that made him want to be a part of the scene. But Trump's always
been the butt of the joke. A silly tacky little man who was overweight,
overwrought, dressed poorly and had a revolting obsession with money.
There's no way Trump would find acceptance amongst the real royalty
of society.... and that's where he desperately wanted to be.
Now Trump wears his resentment on his sleeve... striking out at the
real elites, eggheads, fashionistas, culture mavens, etc for being better than him.
You might say Trump never wanted to be President, he just wanted to get even.
