Trump is one of the most unideological person to be elected to be President, His whole life and persona has been trying to both bring people together to make deals and also to make people like him.
Seriously? Trump has been very ideological (Left) most of his life. He lived to make deals to make money. Make people like him by being an a-hole and d-bag to almost everybody?

I have no argument with this figure. Nobody here has made the point the R party, or at least its base, is now an isolationist and protectionist and has abandoned the conservative principles that attracted me to it in the first place than I have.

I don’t fully agree with my fellow A-hole on this.
Yes, Trump has been a liberal Democrat most of life and he has defended liberal Democrat policies most of his life. And anyone who thinks he is now a conservative is an absolute moron.
But first and foremost he is an opportunist, and that trumps ideology. I think he sees ideology as a tool that can be exploited, whether it is left or right.

He has?
What did he do in his first term to cut the size and scope of government?
Zero, nada, zilch. Nothing.
He added trillions to the debt and the growth of government went unchecked.
So he was not “consistent” at all.
Yes, DOGE is a great initiative.
But it’s purpose is really to try to save money from fraud and abuse, and it is being successful in cutting the size of the federal workforce. But the total expenditure on the federal workforce is $300 billion, less than 5% of the budget. Don’t confuse federal workforce with “government”.
The verdict is still out on whether this really represents a cutting the size and scope of government or just a way to make it more efficient.
We are still adding to the debt, still spending 7 trillion a year, mostly on entitlements. The deficit for March 2025 alone was $237 billion.

This reminds me of the tariffs issue, where the protectionists are always bleating like trained sheep “well if other countries place tariffs on us, we must place tariffs on them”. This is, as Milton Friedman said, patently false.
Same with “well if the Dems break the law against us, we must break the law against them”. As typical with Cultist thought, there is never consideration for right or wrong, or for the long term consequences.
