Or at least one of the most privileged. I mean, think about it:

- He started out with millions from his rich father
- He got into UPenn on his connections when almost anyone else has to work their butts off to get in
- Then when he got into the business world, he was able to make millions simply by selling his name (after suffering from multiple bankrupcies)
- Even after being sued hundreds of times, he managed to get off scot-free (so far)
- Being rich, white, male, and straight, he doesn't suffer from any sort of social -ism in his life
- Unlike past elites like emperors, popes, etc. he can avail himself of all the joys of modern technology, like antibiotics and Twitter
- He has worked very little compared to other modern elites too (again no political experience, no artistic or scientific talent, managed to bankrupt his business multiple times, etc.)
- Despite being manifestly unqualified, he managed to make billions and become the most powerful man on the planet

Any of the hundreds of thousands of kings and queens, princes and princesses, dukes and duchesses, counts and countesses, or any nobles/lords, who were raised and absolutely supported the greatest peak of social elitism and classism not because of money they made but because of their parents?

I already addressed that in the OP. While sure, many of them would've been far more privileged than Trump relative to their contemporaries, they're less privileged than him in an absolute sense due to technological advancement. In fact, the average middle-class family in a wealthy nation has better living standards than these past elites. In the past:
- They would've used bloodletting or herbs as medical treatment
- They had to use dim and dirty candles instead of electric lighting
- Travel was measured in weeks, not hours
- Air conditioning was unheard of
- etc, etc, etc.

Prince Mohammad bin Salman of Saudia Arabia then.

Unlike Trump who stumbled into the presidency by spewing BS out his mouth, MBS had to be extremely shrewd to rise to power in the Saudi aristocracy. Also, both him and the Kim family run countries with less power and more problems than the US.

Muslims can't be privileged over white people in the minds of people who use that word.
