Society is shaped like a pyramid. At the bottom are the laborers and the artisans; they work with stuff. In the middle are the merchants and the officers; they work with people. At the top are the clergy and the politicians; they work with narratives.
So, they might be the same intelligence, but they have access to knowledge of their class to do their specific roles that allow them to...act. And the world revolves around them, because they know how the world stage really works, and keep y'all moving about your roles because you obsess over the narrative you define your life and identity framework by.
But, there's a clear path up.
They don't know how the world really works. Above them are the egregores, gestalt consciousnesses living in our collective minds, alien intelligences entirely unlike people.
Those that don't have knowledge but have positions of power will be likely candidates to fall for a sting operation like Trump.
