Trump: Elitists try to put down populist revolt

Donald Trump has been spuriously labeled a fascist, bigot, racist, etc. by the American elitists. They are mostly a cabal of politicians (even some Republicans), media, academics and more who have burdened American populists with a host of arbitrary political correct policies. Trump has challenged these elitist policies to the cheers of ordinary Americans who want their government to reflect their heritages.

Trump was chosen by millions of populists as their candidate to face Democrat Hillary Clinton in the coming presidential election. The populists are composed mostly of the middle class and blue-collar workers who are productive Americans and the major tax source that funds our government.

Nevertheless, the elitists have expressed contempt for Trump and the populists. And the elitists will try to suppress the American people with about a billion dollar propaganda campaign to support Clinton, a campaign of the rich against the poor common populists.
