Trump and Bernie Sanders agree that America has been run into the ground by its elites, who need to be brought under control. Where do they disagree?
Trump thinks the elites in question are cultural and intellectual, and their failings are moral. Sanders thinks they are billionaires, and their sin is greed. As a result, the two have different solutions to our problems. Trump despises experts of all kinds and gets his information from his gut and the internet; he uses the legal and financial power of the federal government to crush the MSM, the bureaucracy, universities, and cultural institutions that refuse to support MAGA. Sanders has no issue with experts; he simply wants to use regulations and taxation to wipe American billionaires from the face of the planet.
They’re both wrong, but based on the numbers, Sanders has the better case. The one percent has become vastly wealthier over the last few decades; the top ten percent is only slightly better off.
