People seem to believe the elites are some kind of monolithic enterprise with complete control over someone's rise to power or fall into obscurity. This is a childish way of looking at it. Trump has the backing of billionaire Sheldon Adelson, a friend he probably knows from the world of gambling, who is an uber-Zionist Jew. Trump's pro-Israel policies reflect that. He's also in bed with another Jewish billionaire who is invested in promoting LGBTQ rights (as a republican!) Paul Singer, therefore Trump's positions on LGBTQ are generally positive. His third big backer is another Jewish billionaire called Bernard Marcus, founder of Home Depot, and just like the previous two a philantropist pumping millions of dollars into Israel. These moguls have a lot of financial and political power, which means blocking out Trump from the public sphere would be near impossible and Trump, being a NY real estate business man, probably knows that you won't get anywhere if you don't at least deal with some of these people.
But even if Trump didn't have this kind of support, how would the media block out someone like him the way he bulldozed his way through the primaries? Especially in the age of internet and social media where everyone would pick up on him and retweet, share, etc, it would be impossible. So they decided to demonise him for every breath he took, thinking they'd end up on the right side of history. All the way up to election day the mainstream media was convinced HRC would win with a landslide with 99% certainty.
Just watch those leaks from Project Veritas about the media executives how they boss their employees in covering Trump negatively. It's all in an attempt to get him impeached or to make sure he won't get re-elected. If people don't see why the deep state is against Trump, they don't understand the deep state.
