Trump Is a Patriot, Not a Nationalist-Populist

Think about it: Trump did not campaign under the banner of cutting Americas various welfare programs (though, they are certainly in need of reform). He merely said that, if elected, hed manage these programs better. Trump explicitly ran on a campaign platform of intensifying government spending through an expensive (though much-needed) infrastructure plan. Trump also ran against Republican Party orthodoxy on trade. All of these things, while unpopular with true conservatives, were immensely popular with enough voters across the country to give Trump the boost he needed to win the 2016 election.

Trump supports severe curbs on all forms of immigration into the United States because the present system is depressing wages, swamping an already-overburdened welfare system, and causing massive political dislocationsto say nothing of security concerns, in the form of increases in illicit narcotics and gang-related violence. Trump wants a more serious commitment to merit-based legal immigration focusing on national need. This is a sensible policy. In fact, this policy is similar to what CanadaAmericas social democratic neighbor to the northpresently enjoys. If its not radical for globalist Canada, why is it radical, nationalist-populism for the United States?
When Trump campaigned, he vowed to adhere to an America First principle of governance. As president, he has chided his fellow world leaders to stick to their own national interests and he will do the same with his. While everyone has been frantically trying to come up with the correct political science jargon for understanding Trumps philosophy, it was hiding right in plain sight. He told us. Its America First. How is this controversial? How is this un-American? Why must such a controversial term, like nationalist-populism be used (except to denigrate Trumps legitimacy)?
Trump believes exactly as most Americans do on the critical issues of our day. He wants the best for the United States, partisan ideology be damned. Lets start calling Trump what he is: a patriot.

No matter how you feel about polls, twelve points in one year is significant.
