Donald Trump isn't really a"populist", or even a distorted NazBol.and he is not moderate on economics 

Trump is maybe further right than Ronald Reagan economically and not anything remotely moderate economically. Here are some reasons why:


Budget:

One of the primary reasons why people view Trump as less conservative economically is due to the spending. YET, this was not done by his choice at all. 

Over his first few junta aeons in office, Trump repeatedly sent budgets to Congress that had trillion dollar cuts in social spending wrapped in them. The GOP rejected those cuts even when they had complete power only since cutting it that much looks cringe before an election.

Moscow Mitch actually threw it out

This means that 45 is to the right of MITCH MCCONNELL on the budget issue.


Regulating businesses:


Trump was one of the farthest right when it comes to this issue, surpassing even Ronald Reagan. He made it nearly impossible to regulate anything via his executive order that each regulation would automatically repeal two. His environmental regulations, specifically were pretty shocking.


Unions:


Donald Trump favors a national right-to-work law. AGAIN, he couldn't even obtain enough Republicans to sign this. Yet again, he is to the RIGHT of the mainstream GOP here.


Minimum wage:

Donald Trump wouldn't even touch a bill above 7.25.


Taxes:


Trump's initial plan called for a 25% top tax rate. The only reason why he did not go for this is due to the GOP controlled Congress refusing to let him cut the spending that would be needed to make back the money.


Social Security:

Donald Trump stupidly supported terminating the payroll tax. This would wrongly end all funding for SSI and Medicare. This was called the "third rail" of politics previously Trump in this instance is touching the right boundary of the economic Overton Window of even US POLITICS.


Conclusion:


Donald Trump was actually pretty darn right wing economically. He USED POPULIST RHETORIC to win over the working class votes. This is typical on the right and is merely being used to be able to "talk left" but "act right."

So Trumps real policies were in actuality viciously anti working class, his complete ‘populism’ mantra was 100 percent fraudulent to the 99 percenters


Though Donald Trump presented a budget a few times it doesnt actually mean the president writes the budget. Its for the most part hashed out in the legislature and 45 was likely trying to do a bit of hack art of the deal nonsense to get a border wall since he fucked up in the start of his term and didnt get that done. 

He got scared in 2019 and shut the government down over a few billion dollars in order to get a wall carve out.

But fake populist economics are not that indistinguishable from the failed neoliberal economic policies which have plagued our society for too long. At least a fake populist has the decency to lie.

Economic Neoliberals on the other hand literally campaigns by telling voters "Go fock uff. Now vote for me."

Seriously at least the fake economic populist is acknowledging us leftist problems and talking about solutions.


Sort of hard to measure things like this since Donald Trump couldn’t hold onto to any policy wonk and he had zero idea how policy works or how to get things done in DC


Steve Bannon pushed 45 to get an infrastructure and jobs bill made but he was again incompetent, the Republicans fibbed and steam rolled him in the early part of his term on that.


Either hes too incompetent to make good on his populists promises or he never intended to. I don't see any reason he would plan to not achieve his goals if he wanted to win reelection


Anyone who defends Donald Trump or Republicans (like Aimee Terese in one of her multitude of more cringeworthy moments) is a fool in so many ways. 

45 is an unlikable businessman who exploited people's good will by appropriating anti-war, anti-finance, anti-corruption, anti-modernity rhetoric. 

This was Trump using such rhetoric yet not following through with it in any way, or even doubling down on the opposite, and it does not make him better than someone who does not use that rhetoric at all, It makes him a freaking traitor. Now, it was in a few ways clear that Trump was going to cuck out on said things anhow, but that doesn't negate the hard truth that he did betray his promises and majority of voters.


Trump and everyone associated with him should be drained with the rest of the swamp.

(from  Wikipedia ): "Despite their differences, Bizarro and Superman have teamed up on occasion. One notable example happened in Superman #379, when a strange creature appeared to be devouring Bizarros. Fearing he would end up alone Bizarro tried to steal Superman's duplicator ray. Superman convinced Bizarro he would be better off trying to stop the monster before making any more Bizarros.  The creature eventually devoured Bizarro, but Superman soon figured out that the creature was not trying to kill the Bizarros, but using their combined strength to defeat another creature which was trying to destroy htraE. The first creature was created as part of a plan developed by none other than the Bizarro Lex Luthor, who Bizarro referred to as a "punk hero." "In the imaginary story, Superman: Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?, which served as an ending to Silver Age Superman continuity, Bizarro #1 (the original Bizarro and the world's leader/greatest hero),

Saying that Joe Biden is better choice for the left wing than DJT instead of saying they are equally bad choices for the left wing, is excessive centrism and condemnable  Republicans take 10 steps backwards, Democrats take 1 step forward. Liberal 2.0ers call that progress. Leftists like me call it a f*cking disgrace. A lot of things that the Democrats campaign on and take credit for, were by and large grassroots campaigns by progressive groups. For example, the DNC really fought a lot of state-wide decriminalization attempts, that's why the first legalized states had to use voter referendums. Then you got issues like abortion and gay marriage, which were undone by the courts and NEVER codified into law by the Democrats, despite having many opportunities to do so. The DNC are NOT allies to us leftists, they are dangerous. Perhaps the Democrats are more dangerous than the GOP, since the Democrats take up the space of a left party, while they ignore grassroots leftist organizing and g

from here There is a practical component to all of this. The question of humanism vs antihumanism is the question upon which the debate between liberal feminism and nihilist gender abolitionism will be based. The liberal feminist says “I am a woman” and by that means that they are spiritually, ontologically, metaphysically, genetically, or any other modes of “essentially” a woman. The gender nihilist says “I am a woman” and means that they are located within a certain position in a matrix of power which constitutes them as such. The liberal feminist is not aware of the ways power creates gender, and thus clings to gender as a means of legitimizing themselves in the eyes of power. They rely on trying to use various systems of knowledge (genetic sciences, metaphysical claims about the soul, kantian ontology) in order to prove to power they can operate within it. The gender nihilist, the gender abolitionist, looks at the system of gender itself and see’s the violence at its core. We say n
