What accounted for his unexpected rise? Some argue that Trump's support reflected an uninformed populism and the misplaced anger of a large swath of the American people. But others argue that it arose from the failure of elites to empathize with their struggles and craft effective policies to improve their lives. Should the elites be blamed for the Trump phenomenon?
