This article is a pretty good dissection of Trump’s actual politics, and debunks the “Trump is a fascist” hysteria coming from the Left. This piece is more or less in line with my own assessment of Trump’s politics, with the exception that I think Trump is less inclined towards philosophical conservatism than the author of this piece suggests. Instead, I’m inclined towards the view that Trump is an egomaniac for whom the presidency is the one last thing he doesn’t have. Other than that, the assessment of Trump’s views in this piece is very similar to what I would write if I were inclined to do a thorough critique of Trump, even if the author is apparently a Trump supporter which I am not.

One of the raps against Donald Trump frequently trotted out by some of his conservative critics, often supporters of one of the more traditional conservative candidates, is that he is not really a conservative.
