That's what I keep trying to tell leftists: By all objective standards, Trump is what we would have called a liberal in the 1970's. He's anti-war (but pro-strong military as a deterrent), anti-interventionist (but pro-trade deals that benefit the US), he's pro-civil rights on a national level (but pro-state's rights) He's pro-US workers (which means limits on immigration and a strong border.) He represents the best and most worthwhile of the "liberal" ideals matched with the best of the "conservative" ideals. Under his administration, the entire world has become more peaceful, prosperous and free.
This is because he is an ACTUAL liberal in the original sense of the word rather than the 'liberal = left' Americanization of the word. He is more Classical Liberal which is the right leaning liberal side and fundamental core founding principles of the USA. The left barely has liberals anymore. The few remaining Social Liberals (liberals who lean left like Tim Pool) are being hunted down and pushed out by Woke religious attack mobs. So they just are moving the the center and right to at least get basic Western liberal values even if they are right leaning. Many don't even understand the definitions in this way... but they just see the Trump = loving America and the Western way of life.
...he is an ACTUAL liberal in the original sense of the word rather than the 'liberal = left' Americanization of the word.
I don't think it's an "Americanization," except in the sense that what was once the American Liberal Establishment has now redefined itself as the radical, violent Left.
I have no quarrel with the rest. DJT is a JFK Liberal, which is what passes for a "conservative" these days.

This is one of the most concise summaries of Trump’s positions. Thank you!

Exactly. What the left has now are merely varying levels of totalitarians.
