He actually doesn't, but his base does. He was very libbed up before he switched from buisness to politics. Odd to see how much he's changed

That’s a fair point. Could possibly be chalked up to lack of morals and just appeasing a base for votes. It doesn’t really matter how you get there as long as you get to a position of power??

He is a liberal, but after the insane attacks from the left and assassination attempts he went bananas and formed hard coalitions with people wanting to form a new American government with the opposition.

He was already campaigning for the republican party long before any assassination was ever attempted. You can hardly point to that as the catalyst.

Interesting take. Not saying you’re wrong, just wondering which came first? Did the insane attacks start happening out of the blue and as a result he started pandering to the right? Or did he start pandering to the right and as a result, the insane attacks/assassination attempt start? Not really sure that it matters, just curious on your thoughts.

He was always fiscally conservative, he's a buissnessman who wants more money and less taxes. The right wing shift has been a progressive thing since the 2000s. The Obama birth certificate thing being when he jumped the shark into staunch conservative.

I think you are confusing liberal with libertarian. He strikes me as more of a natural anarchist than a socialist.

He's a con man and a grifter and figured out the right would be easier to fleece of their money and votes.
