    People forget that Trump wasn’t a Republican until like 2012. The only reason he ran Republican was that someone convinced him that was the only way he’d ever win. Remember, winning at all costs is literally the only thing Donald Trump cares about.

      Honestly, he’s never been a Democrat or a Republican. Even now, if you go by what the Republican party was before he took it over. He’s always been a Trumpist, nothing more and nothing less. He cares solely, without exception, for one thing: Donald Trump.

          Will he actually, though? Or just say he will?

          I think the only way that could happen is if it just happened to be something he wanted.

            I read that the project 2025 people were ecstatic since he delivered on like 75% (or more?) of their policy goals for his first term. Roe v Wade wasn’t an accident, for example

          Republican is an international description of political ideologies. Don’t let USA redefine the word.

            Words can mean more than one thing, and people assume you’re intelligent enough to be able to put them in context and figure out which one you mean. If I say “The general gave an order”, you assume I don’t mean at Burger King. If you want hard definitions with one meaning only, perhaps I can recommend this?

      That’s not entirely true, his turn to republicans was a little sooner. Trump was the “Long Form Birth Certificate” guy all during the Obama years.
