He's often called a conservative populist but I think that's a stretch. Sure, he's not a libertarian, but a populist?

I mean his base is so tied into his cult, that I don't think they've even stopped much to question how much he actually does for the poor and working class.

Do you think he's a populist in general? Or an economic populist more specifically? Why do you think that? And what are your points supporting him as a champion to the poor and working class?

A populist appeals with real issues in society. Whereas little donny fabricates issues and convinces his worshipers that they need fixed.
I wouldn't say he is a conservative or libertarian or a populist but rather just a piece of feces.

With his last economic policies, he's definitely not a libertarian.

He's a conservative indeed. I'm not so sure if he's a populist because he's doing things contrary to popular demand.

Actually, Trump is a pimpulist.  The Trump family fortune in America began with Donald Trump’s grandfather, Fredrich Trump, a highly successful pimp-businessman. A “pimp” is one “who controls prostitutes and arranges clients for them, taking a percentage of their earnings” (Posner & Silbaugh, 1996). This is how Fredrich Trump built his fortune.

Trump is a walking example of voter 2020 regret in your country.
I know your IQ isn't so low to have voted for that zombie old guy in 2020 that flopped bad.

Our PM is a world banker. He knows more about money than your president.
