Outraged New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman recently compared Trump's victory to disasters in American history that killed and wounded thousands such as the Pearl Harbor surprise bombing and the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
The New Republic -- based on no evidence -- theorized that Trump could well be mentally unstable due to the effects of neurosyphilis.

I wish I said this. I have thought this for decades. It has always amazed me how narcissistic and self worshiping the Media/poltical elite is without any real world accomplishments. That why Obama was their god. He rose to the most powerful office in the world without accomplishing anything of any real world merit ever.
Yes, Obama was the epitome of an empty suited ideologue representing the so-called elite class.
Like the rules of animal breeding, a culture which insulates itself from outside information and listens only to itself will become a parody within 30 years.
This appears to be their way of thinking.
One problem for “Elites”. The men who made the fortunes that propelled themselves into the “elites” were mostly very smart and capable people. Their DESCENDANTS, however, are likely to be much more average in abilities.
All they really have going for them, are inherited wealth, plus a network of connections accumulated over decades and generations. They know that there are lots of people in the middle class who are MUCH smarter than they are, and the potential competition terrifies them.
They used to be elite. Then Trump happened.
Well, I'm sure if you asked the self-proclaimed "elite" in America if they were elite they would, by definition, say of course they are. This in spite of a stunning lack of evidence to support their self-image.
I would concede that the self-anointed elite are in-fact "elite." However I'm sure we would disagree on just what exactly they merit the elite moniker for. I'm sure they believe it would be for their intellect and insight. While I believe it is for their ability to delude themselves into thinking anyone cares what they think or takes them seriously.
Sure. They are legends in their own minds.
The only attack that I HAVE NOT YET HEARD is that Trump is a Space Alien.
Footage at eleven.
Most of the elite are elite because they are much smarter than most people or are much more athletic than most people.
The problem is... they often don’t marry someone with similar abilities but instead marry some brainless boobs on legs and thus end up with average children, who are then spoiled and often raised to be average in every way and to avoid the very activities which led to their parents success.

Oh, there's plenty of toll booths you have to pass (and pay) through, such as enrolling your kids at Sidwell Friends, and Ivy League schools.
Actually they’re a bunch of wannabes.
VDH is elite but not that elite.
The GI bill evened the playing field through education and access to data. The PC further leveled it with unfettered, massive access to data and ability to manipulate it.
This has led to the level of disparity between the Ivy League schools, state schools and private colleges to be slight. Historically the Ivy League schools were far superior. That is no longer the case as knowledge has been dispersed through the massive growth in universities.] o
As was said by one financial guru in the 90s: “The average American now makes financial decisions which, a short time ago, were made only by the super rich.”
The self styled elites are obsolete aristocratic fops.
Today’s elites are only elite in the sense of who they personally socialize with. The wannbes ape the One World outlook embraced by the real elites.
Useful idiots wanting to be Cool Kids works like a charm for Leftist politics.
NO!
Just
Arrogant, Self-Righteous, Pompous etc.,.....
