Politics comebacks donald trump jemaine clement
Jemaine Clement had the only response necessary for people saying Trump’s win was a blow for the American ‘elite’
Donald Trump’s trumph in the US presidential elections means that instead of America having their first woman and first Asian American president, the American people have instead installed the first convicted criminal in the White House.

It was also, as this Aussie news outlet pointed out (and shared by Jemaine Clement over on Twitter) very much business as usual.

But not everyone agreed, including this person – one of many – who seemed to think Trump’s trumph was also a blow against the ‘elite’.
The elites got a pasting.

And Clement – star of Flight of the Conchords and so much more besides – had the only response you or anyone else needs.
Yeah, so cool that the underdog kid who was born a millionaire and his sponsor, the richest human being alive aren’t damn “elites”. https://t.co/gPg62h4WHS

No more questions, your honour.
These people are blinded by their own idiocy.

The guy who lives in a solid gold apartment and never had to earn a thing is the “underdog” and the woman who was born to immigrant parents in Oakland and worked her way up to AG of California, Senator and then VP is the “elite”. These people have the brain power of a potato.

It’s heartbreaking to see this. After all that he has done. I always believed in the good in people. This shatters me!
