POTUS is not one of the 13
He was never accepted into the elite circles no matter how much money he made.
Sure he could attend partys and charity events And he bought hotels in their neighborhood but he wasn't one of them.
Most of the useful idiots in Hollywood, Network news and Washington aren't part of the 13 either. They think they are a part of the "club" but they aren't.
POTUS figured out who they were and not only didn't want to be part of them but wanted to find a way to bring them down.
