This is simply not the case. I know this because *I* am one of them. I am a firm believer in free trade and capitalism and I an old school Reaganaut on foreign policy and the US’s place as the leader of western democracy.

Trump is a pragmatist, rather than an ideologue. He mentioned some stuff about tariffs during his first term. Tore up NAFTA and replaced it with USMCA.

Hopefully, Trump is trying to secure better trade deals with nations and we are not going into a new age of protectionism.

That is my read as well.

President Trump is a master negotiator.

Obviously it is harder to negotiate while getting heckled by your own side.

Lol.
