....the true revolution is against intellectual and cultural elites, in which awards or evidence of excellence are de facto proof of untrustworthiness.

This. Although I don't think it's "untrustworthiness" that those award or evidence of excellence are proof of. No one doubts that a Nobel physicist is an expert, or trustworthy, about his particular area of expertise. I think the revolution is against letting intellectual and cultural elites have priority in political choices, rather than scientific questions.

"What will likely happen if we impose tariffs?" and "Should we impose tariffs?" are two very different questions, and there are two very different groups of people and processes by which we would answer those questions. I think a big part of the MAGA revolution is against having the people who are qualified to answer the first question also get to answer the second question.
