That certainly wasn't a vote against the global elite, since by any of the definitions above (in particular your 'pay less tax' one) he is a fully-fledged member of that elite. I'm sure he'll continue to talk about how he's taking on the global elite, or the main stream media, or muslims/terrorists or whatever other convenient group he can find to deflect blame.
That's what's dangerous about terms like global elite - they lead you away from specific problems and into vicious blaming of some dehumanised other who becomes the scapegoat for all the world's ills.
