Not even remotely.

People who support Trump still believe in smaller government

This statement is just patently false: Most Americans no longer know what America stands for. A more accurate explanation is: Most Americans no longer know what the Republican Party stands for. It seems to mirror the Democrat Party in many ways.

"Europe was created by history. America was created by philosophy."

True that, but the Republican Party has abandoned that philosophy.

America stands for small government, a free economy (and therefore, capitalism), liberty (which therefore allows for its inevitable consequence: inequality), the melting pot ideal and a God-centered population rooted in Judeo-Christian values (so that a moral society is created by citizens exercising self-control rather than relying on the state to impose control).

Again Trump supports share that belief, but the Federal Government hasn't been living up to that as evidenced by not maintaining control of the melting pot by allowing, for decades, the illegal invasion of this country. Which has been aided and abetted by both parties in support of the big money contributors facilitating their re-election efforts.

America was founded on the principle that human rights come from the creator. For the left, rights come from the state.

Trump supporters still believe that human rights come from the creator, but the Republican Party has come to believe rights come from the state in the eyes of many who see The Republican Party's defense is weak when it comes to vocally reinforcing that human rights come from the creator.

I could go on and on throughout this article to trash his opinion, and that is all it is, that Trump supporters are not "conservative". Yet another "conservative" defining what conservatives are.

“”Europe was created by history. America was created by philosophy.”

lol. That’s not remotely true, as most conservative writers used to understand. America grew as an organic culture from the Europeans, largely British, who settled it before the Revolution. See the writing of Russell Kirk, Bernard Bailyn, David Hackett Fischer, ME Bradford, Forrest McDonald
