First, if you feel Bernie and Trump are both populists then that term means absolutely nothing.
“Populist” can mean different things and have different connotations. Bernie was a positive sort of populist, in the sense that he advocated for policies that would help the working class. Trump was a negative sort of populist, in the sense that’s a euphemism for “demagogue.”
Populist really just means telling people what they want to hear. Bernie and Trump are both populists, they just have (largely) very different audiences.
