Wealth and class are different dimensions. Though correlated, especially in the USA which lacks a formal institutionalized gentry, just having a lot of money isn’t enough to be of the elite, high class.

When a person has the elite kissing their ring and throwing money at them for an audience, it puts that person, wealthy/poor/classless or otherwise, in with -- if not at the apex of -- the elite.

I don't see why not.

And even if not, the man has been president twice, now deciding unilaterally who can or can not get taxpayer funds, handing out pardons to rich friends / donors, free passes for big companies who ask for it.

It amazes me folks fall for that guy's populist advertisements, Trump is the elite in spades.

Make no mistake, no matter what you think of Harvard and it's grads, if Harvard submits, Trump will support them....
