Modern populist movements like Team Trump and Brexit seek to assume the prerogatives of the neocons to project power for the good of the people against the elitist global world order best represented by positions articulated by the World Economic Forum, WEF (w.r.t. Obama/Clinton/Democrats, the UN, the EU, free trade/China, the 4th Industrial Revolution, etc.). It is essentially this "WEF cabal" that Team Trump is supposed to protect us all from. However, it is disingenuous for populists to imply that Brexit and Team Trump represent the will of the people and that their opponents should just rollover and submit.
Indeed, it is notable that when opponents (e.g. the "liberal press") state anything against populists they are branded as being part of some imaginary conspiracy, while the actual conspiracy is taking place under the auspices of those same populist. It’s the same in London and in Washington, DC. Trump’s rants about conspiracies against him are only covering up for the real kleptocratic agenda they are establishing
If Donald Trump has “political enemies,” what ought to be of concern to people is not who his enemies are (and most of them are simply dedicated public servants and patriots) but rather who his very powerful (fossil fuel) friends are, and the extent to which the next president of the United States is prepared to mortgage the wellbeing of future generations for the illusion of short-term gains.
Furthermore, the first linked article is entitled: "World Economic Forum says capitalism needs urgent change". It is past time to go along for the fossil fuel ride (BAU) that Team Trump will implement, as we advance into the anthropocene, man needs to learn to better manage our behavior particularly in the global economic market place as promoted by the WEF.

Getting higher economic growth, it added, is necessary but insufficient to heal the fractures in society that were evident in the election of Donald Trump as U.S. president and Britain’s vote to leave the European Union.
In a wide-ranging report from the organizer of the annual gathering of political and business leaders in the Swiss resort of Davos, the WEF identified “rising income and wealth disparity” as potentially the biggest driver in global affairs over the next ten years.

Although anti-establishment politics have tended to blame globalization for the loss of traditional jobs, the WEF said rapidly changing technologies have had more of an impact on labor markets.
“It is no coincidence that challenges to social cohesion and policymakers’ legitimacy are coinciding with a highly disruptive phase of technological change,” the WEF said.
Other key drivers identified in the survey of global risks related to climate change, rising cyber dependency and an aging population."
Also, the second linked article is entitled: "Climate Change Is the World’s Biggest Risk, in 3 Charts". This work illustrates how denialist like Team Trump are underestimating the climate change impacts that are likely to occur in 2017:
http://www.climatecentral.org/news/climate-change-worlds-biggest-risk-charts-21050Extract: "The rise of the machines isn’t the biggest threat to humanity. It’s climate change, extreme weather and other environmental factors.
The World Economic Forum surveyed 750 experts on what the most likely and impactful risks facing humanity are in 2017. In a report released Thursday, they ranked extreme weather as the most likely risk and the second-most impactful, trailing only the use of weapons of mass destruction. Climate change is responsible for driving an increase in the likelihood and intensity of extreme weather events, notably heat waves.
Failing to adapt to or mitigate climate change and a host of other climate-connected risks including water and food crises and involuntary migration also rank in the top 10."
