Reminder: Clinton got the popular vote by millions of votes. So populism is not exactly the "Zeitgeist".

And even if the Zeitgeist is against globalization, it is not owned by Trump; nor is it even populist, in the sense of politics which panders to popular beliefs, no matter how stupid.

Bernie Sanders achieved massive popularity by voicing concerns with globalization from a progressive point of view. 

And even if the Zeitgeist is "populist" in the dumb-and-proud sense, that doesn't mean Davos is not necessary. 

And even if Davos is "elitist" in the sense expressed by the trailer park crowd, then so what?

This type of writing smacks of celebrity style fluff.
