A Democrat turned Republican, Trump does not stand with either party as those within the establishment on BOTH sides detest him. Politicians may enter politics for magnanimous reasons, but to get on a committee you then have to bow to party politics. When you then become a career politician, you constantly need money and leads to lobbysts. Why do the elite in the establishment hate Trump?
In Trump’s own words, the establishment hates him because he prevents lobbyists from shoving dollars in politician’s pockets at the expense of the people. Trump is a businessman through and through, but as president, he worked to prop up America’s economy rather than his own personal wealth. They did not like him because when you pass $100 million, you cannot be bought. $5 million will not change your lifestyle. Thus, a billionaire can only use that sort of money to bribe others to do what they desire, like Gates and Soros. The same cannot be said for the greedy politicians who have spent decades in office without making any notable changes who are still trying to be the next billionaire – i.e. Nancy Pelosi who best the best fund managers in history.
