If I might postulate a bit. I suspect that this relates to one of the reasons the left find Trump so enragingly baffling. Think about it for a bit:
We have a bloviating, self aggrandizing billionaire, born with a silver spoon in his mouth. By any normal metric from the outside, the working class should -hate- him.
Yet, they don't. In fact, they embrace him eagerly in droves.
I think a lot of it comes down to Trump retaining something a lot of his moneyed peers did not. He remembers the worth of a dollar. He can connect across class because while he has never been in their rung of society, he has retained an understanding of an individual dollars worth and how little it can stretch. So when he speaks, its in a language both can agree to. Unlike saaay, Romney, who makes 10K bets as if it were a fiver. Or Hillary Clinton, totally disconnecting from the working classes trials and travails.
