I couldn't disagree with this statement more.
You surely can argue the so called "establishment" runs the government, but without the so called "establishment" you would have no government. And if the "establishment" disappears over night, it would just be replaced with a new "establishment". The "establishment" is a group of people that have worked in politics for some time and will always work in politics.
You can also argue that if Trump isn't part of the establishment, he is part of a smaller group that controls the establishment. He said it himself during the Republican depbates when he said he has bought and sold politicians before in the past including "some that were on the stage right now".
