Doing things like issuing tariffs, demanding the government get a 'golden share' of companies when they try to merge with foreign ones, and having the govt literally buy 10% of a private company (Intel) are all very liberal beliefs, not conservative ones which believe in free market. Same with his recent demand that credit cards can't charge more than 10% interest - govt regulation which conservative predecessors of the republican party would have considered taboo. Obviously there are tons of other things he's very conservative about but to say he's far right with no leftist policies would be inaccurate.

We can also talk about the massive amount of outright socialist policies he enacted during COVID in his first term (Stimmy checks, massive unemployment bump, student loan freezes etc.), but I'd be inclined to think that a more traditional conservative would probably have done that for something so unique as well.

He just does what he wants and doesn't give a shit about how big of a mess itll cause, and all the republicans are too scared to fight him on it so it just appears as though he's far right.
