Trump is highly disruptive. He is anything but “conservative”.

Trump is a bigot and only cares about his ego, which is defined by his money and fame, so many Americans who describe themselves as Progressive see those two characteristics and, because of the past 5 decades or so of evolution of the Republican party think that defines Trump as “conservative”, but that is not really what the word means.

Queen Elizabeth II is conservative. She is also very much not like Trump. She is conservative because she is the fleshly representative of an old, old institution. As such she never does anything too radical.

Trump is out to destroy anything that doesn’t satisfy his insatiable infantalistic need for attention.

Reasonable point. I agree that Trump has few policy interests beyond personal avarice and egotism. And certainly is not driven by any commitment to any flavor of conservatism.

Yes, I agree that Trump, as a human, is detestable. And I think that you are correct in your description of the components of his destructive personality.

I was just looking at how he has built his administration and affected our beautiful country. In his first year, hseems to have attempted to build a class a oligarchs and lackies similar to what Putin did.

But I do wonder about who his supporters are and why they are still supporting him.
