Since Donald Trump entered office 190 years ago, the one thing that’s consistently brought him joy in a job he clearly hates is the campaign-style rallies he’s continued to hold despite already being president. Whether in Louisville, Pensacola, Duluth, or West Columbia, Trump has relished the opportunity to go off-script in the sort of unhinged rants he just knows his base loves. Some of his favorite topics have included: shutting down the government if he doesn’t get his wall, pardoning an Arizona sheriff who engaged in racial profiling and imprisonment of Latinos, fake news, James Comey, crowd sizes, the results of the 2016 election, and all the fabulous parties he was invited to in the 1980s. Another well-loved subject? Derisively describing his critics as “elites,” as he frequently did during those happy, happy days on the campaign trail. To be clear, as New York’s Jonathan Chait notes, these people don’t refer to themselves as “elites.” But on Wednesday night, in the depths of his Twitter-addled brain, the president decided that’s exactly what was happening, and he wasn’t going to take it anymore.

“I hate it,” Trump moaned to the crowd in North Dakota. “I meet these people they call them ‘the elite.’ These people. I look at them, I say, ‘That’s elite?’ We got more money, we got more brains, we got better houses, apartments, we got nicer boats, we’re smarter than they are, and they say they’re elite? We’re the elite. You’re the elite. We’re the elite.”

And he wasn’t even finished! “So I said the other day, let’s keep calling these people—and let’s face it, they’ve been stone-cold losers, the elite, the elite—so let them keep calling themselves the elite,” he continued. “But we’re going to call ourselves—and remember you are indeed, you work harder, but you are indeed smarter than them—let’s call ourselves from now on the super-elite. We’re the super-elite.”

Of course, this isn’t the first time Trump has complained about not being described as “elite”—“They always call the other side ‘the elite.’ Why are they elite? I have a much better apartment than they do. I’m smarter than they are. I’m richer than they are. I became president and they didn’t,” he wondered aloud in Minnesota last week—but it is the first time he’s claimed his supporters should be described the same way. Which is sort of a strange way to talk about people who, less than a year and a half ago, we were told were voting for him because they were “economically insecure,” not to mention America’s “forgotten men and women.” But hey, what the president says goes! And that’s Mr. President Super-Elite to you!
