Yeah, but that doesn't resolve the dissonance created about him being a populist. That's the narrative that won over a lot of people, even though he frequently short shrifts working and middle class folks working for him and focuses more on helping those in his own socioeconomic class than any of the workers in the country. So ignoring all of that, while more delusional, fits better with that.
