It is only now that it is really going the other way, Trump does have a part in that, but that is because he IS an outsider to the Political world. The other Republican's that were options could not make this claim.
I tried to find a gif that accurately expressed the humor I found in that line, but I got tired of looking. Someone that buys politicians isn't an outsider. They are a part of the establishment, and a part of the problem. It's what makes it hilarious that there is this populism thing surrounding him when he is the exact thing that the populist ideology is against.
