It ticks me off how Ron Paul was always marginalized by the mainstream GOP. He would attract thousands upon thousands of enthusiastic young voters to the GOP every election season and they’d chase them away with a stick.
Honestly, I'm a huge fan of Ron, but I am not a libertarian.
Trump is the best parts of Libertarianism for me: ending endless wars, more efficient government, more power to the state, stop abusing federal power, eliminate illegal entry, etc etc
As a student of history I still believe a strong military and a strong overseas presence is required for not just world safety, but OUR safety. Read "American Caesar" and you'll see how a limited power extension hamstrung the US pacific theater. Or Ceasar in general, lol, and it's importance in Roman longevity.
Might want to change up that wording. Was confusing at first until I realized you meant more powers to state government, rather than federal. State is a term often used to mean government in general, so it sounds like you're saying Trump is in favor of big, centralized government.
If Trump is a forest fire for the deep state, Ron Paul would have been all the worlds nuclear arsenal deployed at once. Had he achieved the nomination- he likely would have won. END THE FED!
They would have done the same to Trump except that the Hillary campaign sent the media its idea of a "pied piper strategy" where the media would promote the three "most unelectable" Republican candidates -- Carson, Cruz, and Trump.
Trump got a huge boost from that as the media suddenly focused on his campaign. Then the media found out they couldn't just turn on a dime and demonize him and make him lose. Oops.
If Hillary's team hadn't come up with that idea, we'd be suffering under President Pants-suit after Jeb! lost the election as planned.

I live in California.. please no more power to the state!
Ron being a gold bug is what turned me off of him. A president needs to have a good understanding of economy, Ron Paul didn't.
