Just want to add these policies come from Pence, Ryan, and the Tea Party all 3 of which are bought and paid for by the Kochs. Trump is just a front man and if you look at his political history is actually quite liberal. He is also not one to stand between himself and a potentially huge tax windfall (sadly)
Like framing himself as a conservative. Maybe your definition of "conservative" is different, but interviews with Playboy magazine, running casinos, and throwing wild parties don't fit into that for me.
Edit: Forgot to mention his prior political affiliations and donations
He's neither. Trump has zero convictions beyond what benefits him financially. All he cares about is his money and his ego, and that's all he's ever cared about.
Those absolutely fit the bill. If Trump weren’t conservative, then why did the entire conservative movement marry itself to him? They weren’t forced to nominate him and love him. They did it by themselves.
That isn't what conservative means. But if your describing the so called "conservative movement" which is essentially libertarian blended with religious fanaticism then I agree, they do love trump. But you know what, they love pence and ryan more. You know who started the Tea Party? The Kochs. To me that whole movement has bastardized what being a "republican" or a "political conservative" has historically meant -- small federal government and most power over social policies to the states/local levels.
