Political positions of Donald Trump

The political positions of Donald Trump (sometimes referred to as Trumpism), the 45th president and 47th president of the United States, have frequently changed, although he has consistently been inclined to conservatism, anti-intellectualism, and populism inclinations throughout his life, and is a leading figure of the radical right in American politics as of 2015, while also being characterized as McCarthyist or Nixonian. Trump variously referred to himself as a conservative, a "common-sense conservative", a "man of common sense", and a nationalist in a "true sense", while also initially saying he identified with Democrats on some or most issues. His most consistent positions have been characterized as protectionist on trade, anti-immigrant, and nationalistic in foreign policy.
