Trump is a Trumpist. He's a self motivated guy who doesn't seem ideological at all to me. For me at least calling him all these names / labels does nothing useful. Actually, it does the opposite and it kinda blows my mind that people are still playing this game. Sure it works on their team but does nothing to persuade people to jump off the Trump train.

Honestly, if I were consulting those trying to unseat him from power I would just track what he has promised to do and how often he has switched course. I would highlight how often he has stabbed those that support him in the back. I would not take cheap shots. They are easy to do and his opponents do it all the time. I think it backfires. I think that strategy has made him who he is. He triggers people and gets them to play into his hand.

I don't really think many elites actually believe what they say about him at all. And, they aren't all that worried about fascism either. Its all theater for the plebs.

oh, the irony in that you just called him such a name (admittedly a new one, but still)

I know. But I just basically said he's a populist which is also just a weird term for people to despise when they love democracy.
