Trump is rich too, but he has this feel to him that he identifies more with the working class than the elites. That he'd rather chat with contractors than blue bloods.

What's the term? New money? Nouveau rich? The contempt that the nobility have for the wealthy members of the merchant class?

Yeah, nouveau-riche or bourgeoisie. Both identities are scorned. They’ve even created “bougie” for the proles to hurl at their closest betters for crab bucket purposes.
