It's about where the perspective is coming from.

I mean, I don't think that Trump cares about the lower and middle classes one bit, but that's based on his actions. But just because he was born with a silver spoon doesn't mean he can't be an advocate for the lower classes. I'll just point out that one of the best biographies of FDR is titled "Traitor to His Class." Trump ain't no FDR, but it is an example of how someone with even a privileged background can't put forth policies that are intended to improve the welfare of the lower and middle classes.
