Why do Republicans call themselves populist when they hate the poor?

I don't think American republicans are populist. Democrats talk about the 1 % far more than republicans. Trump was a populist of course, trying to drain the swamp of the elites, but I don't think he's a good representative of the Republicans.

Funnily enough I will have your flag as my location in less than 6 months

Imagine voting for a party this mediocre and unoriginal.
