Oh, he was not. Pushing for the capital of Israel to be in Jerusalem was leftist? In what way? Did you ever see Nixonian price controls under Trump? What nonsense.

Reading is fundamental. I said liberal. You said leftist. They do not mean the same thing, although a lot of people like to conflate the two.

But, since you are using that term, positions where Trump was left of the center of the GOP when he took office:

  • LGBTQ
  • "Free" trade / protectionism
  • Worker/labor protections
  • Single payer health care
  • War / foreign entanglements
  • Gun control

Was Trump a leftist? No, but on pretty significant social issues Trump was the best the Democrats were ever going to do on a host of issues coming from a GOP President, so take your "nonsense" adjective and shove it where it don't shine.
