President Hoover expressed his disdain for the "cult of the common man" in On the Uncommon Man.
Of course, Hoover was the most inept “expert” political hack this country has ever seen.
On Hoover, President Coolidge has this to day:
“That man has offered me unsolicited advice every day for six years, all of it bad.”
Coolidge also derisively nicknamed Hoover: “Wonder Boy.”
So yes, Hoover disliked the common man.
