I would honestly love to hear this take.
I surrender. Enlighten me on Leftist Trump.
Bill Clinton demolished Dole in a debate the moment he boasted about yeeting more black women off welfare and into the streets that any Republican ever.
Trump turned the Fed loose so he could throw gibsmedats on a population of indolent autists too stupid to realize the lockdowns were a deliberate attempt to destroy the American economy by the US IC and the managerial classes. Big scale welfare = further left than the guy who won Republicans over by kicking poor people off it by the millions.
Trump did more to fuck the 2A up the ass that any democratic President with the exception of Biden. I mean for God's sakes even Barry Sotoro didn't push red flag crap.
What else? Clinton started multiple brush fires with Russia and Kosovo- over bullshit, cut Lockheed Martin one of the biggest paydays it ever got and conducted illicit warfare against drug cartels in Jamaica and Central America and backed right wing insurgents in Colombia, Nicaragua and Argentina.
Trump? Couldn't even back a populist rebellion against a socialist in Venezuela while Venezuelans were posting videos of children in end stage starvation and filming doctors telling people to get then out of hospitals before they died because "acá la gente tienen ambre" implying the collapse inside Caracas was so had
dying children were on the menu.
Trump was the populist/center and non uniparty right's way of politely asking a despicable element within American society to chill.
he wasnt a reactionary.
on almost every issue he socially progressive and a fiscal protectionist- protectionism being of the old school left and all that.
Hell he didn't even condemn the sentient rape machines I mean "trans" movement until he got pressured into by the base.
Oh and he pushed a poisoned product on the US and stood by and did jack and shit while Governors imprisoned their own citizens in their homes.
Even Carter would have sent nat guard troops onto state legislatures over that shit and Carter is a communist and a coward who thinks he met aliens in the Whitehouse
Edit - the only Republican President who had a more socially progressive bent was Ronald Reagan and at least with Dutch it was only on one issue.
Too bad that one issue was no fault divorce and he pretty much destroyed the American working class by letting the evils of that loose on America's children.
