If you had to give a name to the Trumpian political ideology, what would it be?
>my answer National Capitalism
>explanation Basically free trade with borders, where your countrymen/statesmen have a competitive market advantage by default. >inb4 this is an oxymoron
Cafeteria Pragmatism. Anybody who wants an ideologue has Hillary.
Eli Jenkins
Do you think his ideals are the same as those the founding fathers had? I would probably argue that the FFs were a bit more isolationist and less in favor of a standing army, but the rest might be fairly similar.
Asher Smith
New York liberalism
Justin Jenkins
Okay, that's a fair point to make, even if it takes the discussion in a different direction. What's the cafeteria part for?
Jayden Hernandez
Trump is a protectionist, not a pure capitalist at all
Brody Rodriguez
Proud Ignorancism or Loud Egotism
Andrew Morris
>National Capitalism. >Free Trade >implying Trump hasn't threatened trade wars with China and Mexico. >implying Trump hasn't suggested reworking trade deals to raise tariffs.
Trump is a nationalist at best. He has no real policies or principles. He just has a nationalist bent bit he flips too much to be able to find a consistent label for him.
Jayden Watson
Civic conservatism with an intact pair of balls.
Aiden Parker

Camden Ross
Progressiveism

I agree, which I think comes into the Nationalism portion. Because who is he protecting from economic forces? Americans. I don't really know how he feels about unions, but I know that he wants to help the American people.

>trump >free trade
What the absolute fuck are you talking about?
Trump wants to raise tariffs to the tune of up to 45% on imported goods, this is the opposite of free trade you clueless faggot.

Kevin Kelly
Probably "paleoconservative" though he tends to less conservative on social issues
Anthony Perry
>National Capitalism
He's a protectionist. There's nothing capitalistic about him.
John Long
Please see in my original post where I say he's for a relatively free market BETWEEN AMERICANS, i.e. deregulation etc., but wants them to have an inward facing advantage on the global scale. Also see my inb4.
Work on that reading comprehension, friends.
Nicholas Perry
You can't "/thread" your own post, you monumental faggot. You should have just applied it to this post
Robert Long
I see what you're getting at. But capitalism is capitalism. This is basic economics, raising tariffs is a net negative for everyone. Sure, it's great if he deregulates commerce here, but a trade war with China or Mexico is retarded.
