How the hell has Donald Trump managed to convince people that he's not a billionaire elite. He must be one of the best examples of detached wealth there is. He has a golden tower with his name on!

Standard answer is that don’t perceive it so much as rich v poor as educated coastal vs uneducated inland. He sells himself as an uneducated inlander, so that’s what think of him as.
Or to put it another way, every time a newspaper writes an article bitching about Donald Trump putting ketchup on a steak, he gets more powerful.
