Saw some discussion about this earlier. He is actually kind of different. Even the European far-right is still about helping the poor, etc.

well, I don't think Trump is against helping the poor.

He is more like a pre-Pearl Harbor Old Right, or maybe even a Jacksonian isolationist. It doesn't matter how you want to call him, he is a populist. That is why he won.

Pace yourself.

You have to do this daily for a shade over 4 years (minimum).

Trump for running as a Republican is kind of a liberal in my book.

" Fair, you like Donald Trump, but what makes him a conservative? "

He leans right on some issues, but I think he's basically a populist, which is fine with me. Our present crop of conservatives are on my last nerve.

Is he conservative? I say No!

But to be honest, I don't think he is trying to be "conservative" or "liberal", he just wants to do what he thinks is right and honest. People believed him and that's why he won. If people wanted the most conservative person, then Cruz would have beat him.
those two i will give you-
protecting the border- he wants ICE to grow larger- so might work but he has 4 yrs good luck with that -
nobody touching the 2nd- ?
fraud and abuse- to be seen
wars-? they take off on their own
