Trump is the most conservative President we've had had since Calving Coolidge.
No one, and I mean NO ONE spends as much as Trump did and can be considered an actual conservative. It's not possible.
You can't borrow that much money, way beyond the deficit and be considered an actual conservative.
Here's a help for you, because being a republican, doesn't mean you're a conservative.
Fiscal conservatism is a political position (primarily in the
United States of America) that calls for
lower levels of public spending, lower taxes and lower government debt. Fiscal conservatism
may also support limited periods of higher taxes in order to lower the public debt. It can include any or all levels of government, federal, state and local. Fiscal conservatism is typically justified in terms of economic efficiency (
it assumes the private sector is more efficient than the public sector), and
in moral terms with high spending, budget deficits, and high debt seen as indicators of corruption. In opposition to corruption fiscal conservatism develops classic themes of
republicanism that emerged in the era of the
American Revolution.
Fiscal conservatism rejects the Keynesian policy of deficit spending.
Do you understand now how Trump isn't an actual conservative? He's more like a Reagan. Just talks conservatively. Says things like "I'm gong to decrease the debt to zero in 8 years," But spends more.
Or one of my favorites, "I'm going to lower taxes so Americans can keep more of their money." But then turns around and eliminates tax deductions. And devalues the dollar with all the Fed borrowing, that it now costs more to live on.
Instead of reducing the spending to keep the debt ceiling where it was, he eliminated the debt ceiling for two years. That's some liberal crap right there.
So when you say Trump is a conservative, I honestly don't think you know what a conservative is.
