Populism is a kind political movement which usually draws a difference between the common man, or the common people, and a “political elite.” These elites do not necessarily exist. The theme of populism is that the common man does not have certain privileges the elites have, or that he cannot do certain things the elites can do. The populist see themselves on the side of the common people. They claim they want to help the common people get some of the rights and privileges of the elites. Donald Trump is often described as a Populist.
