No they weren't.Trump's policies were geared toward the establishment of an autocratic government, like Putin .We should call the self-proclaimed "conservatives", communist, they like, defend and support Putin, just like their dear leader.The term progressive has reached its limit of dishonesty. Let's be honest, progressive is just another term for communist. I see very little difference in their means to expand power, in their view of the individual or businesses and the governments role in them.
I'm not referring to someone wanting to hold businesses accountable, or even higher tax brackets etc. I'm talking about the level of demand for government centralized spending and control over industries. It's as if too many in the West are really buying into (or just looking at how they can profit from, as thy do in Canada) the CCP "philosophy" as being some superior system.
At the very least, let's drop the progressive mantra. please. It's disingenuous.
Here is a funny little definition of progressivism, which tells us really nothing about it's position, but at least they offered the concept of "progressive education", which is what some are pushing for. I.E, social engineering and communism:

They fell in love with Jong-un, just like their dear leader.
They praised and cheered for Xi Ping.

U.S. President Donald Trump praised Chinese President Xi Jinping Saturday after the ruling Communist party announced it was eliminating the two-term limit for the presidency, paving the way for Xi to serve indefinitely.
“He’s now president for life, president for life. And he’s great,” Trump said, according to audio of excerpts of Trump’s remarks at a closed-door fundraiser in Florida.
“And look, he was able to do that. I think it’s great. Maybe we’ll have to give that a shot someday,” Trump said to cheers and applause from supporters.
I've heard the audio, it was clear he was joking or being facetious. It was a mix of laughter and cheer, they understood the joke he was making.
Considering how the world is moving in the West today, there are far too many who want power at all costs, it starts with centralizing a system. Trumps policies ran away from centralization of the U.S economy.
Prove it.
