OH PLEASE, OH PLEASE, OH PLEASE!!!!

Question is, which third party would be most in line with his political views?

Let’s go down the list:
Top three who actually have elected people to office:
Libertarian - Other than the “privatize everything” view on economics, he’s pretty much at odds with them in regards to immigration, civil liberties, and drug laws.

Green Party - I can’t think of a single item he agrees with them on.

Constitution Party - Trump doesn’t want to turn the US into a theocracy from the best I can tell (his ego wouldn’t allow anyone to be above him), so no.

After that, you’ve got a few minor parties -
Modern Whig Party - proponents of campaign finance reform, as well as stringent financial disclosure for candidates which would limit the amount of money spent on a campaign, and elimination of “soft” money - I think it’s safe to say they’re out.

Reform Party - hard to guess on this one because keep in mind that they have had both Ralph Nader and Pat Buchanan as their Presidential nominee.

There’s a slew of left-wing parties that embrace elements of socialism in some form or fashion, so all of those can be safely excluded.

Past those, there’s only the fringe groups left like the Independent American Party (neo-Confederacy), American Freedom Party (formely Third Position - white nationalist fascism), and an assortment of Dominionist religious parties.
