“... REAL CONSERVATIVES...”
Well, ‘conservative’ does not have an objective definition.
Plus, this is The FREE REPUBLIC. Not the Conservative Republic.
There are plenty of sites devoted to the latter around - well, one less (Weekly Standard) pretty soon. But not so many sites that would advocate a return to a truly originalist Free Republic.
And Trump is not even close to a Free Republic advocate. Domestic policy-wise he is much closer to the typical big government Republican.

Sorry Buddha, haven’t you read Free Republic’s Front Page: Let me post some of it for you...
Welcome to Free Republic!
Conservatives for God, Family, Country!
Free Republic is not a traditional business. We are a political discussion forum and independent grassroots conservative activist group supported by donations from our readers and participants.
Thank you VERY much, for taking the time to post what I didn’t bother with, but, instead, just post about.
“Sorry Buddha...”
I forgive you, my son. Three Hail Mary’s and two 10th amendments. Be absolved.
Kidding aside... go farther!
Read down to what JimRob considers ‘conservative’. Much of it is the opposite of Trump. The emphasis is on constitutionally limited central government.
Again, ‘conservative’ can mean whatever you want it to mean. Free Republic is a much more stable concept. And, I think JimRob understands it quite well based on the bulk of the text on the page from which you quoted a greeting rather than a definition.
Trump fits some of JimRob’s definition well. But the heart of it is not in Trump’s heart.
Though I still very much like most of what he has done. Fortunately, he failed miserably at some things which are anti-Freedom - like TrumpRyanCare.
