I think “Trumpism” in THEIR minds, is a bulldog determination on Trump’s part, to follow, obey, abide by The Constitution of the United States. And any off-the-wall notion for rights, actions or proposed legislation which is not spelled out in the Constitution is unworthy of discussion; any existing laws which do not coform to the Constitution are null and void, and must be repealed. In a nutshell.
Being that there is a tremendous amount of ignorance, group think, and hostility...before I discuss anything with a left leaning liberal, I tell them that we have to talk about the following subjects:
Is government necessary?
What is a classical democracy?
What is a republic?
How is a fact determined?
Are feelings more important or just as important as facts?
How does one acquire knowledge?
Why have there been so many nonreligious wars in history?
Are people “good” and do evil things, or are they evil?
Usually they go away. Otherwise you’re just gonna listen to them parrot some poorly thought out notion. Why bother?
Some people minds are like concrete, mixed up and Permanently set.

You have the correct answer. It means nothing, except to the Left, who can use the term as a catch all to mean whatever the user wants it to mean. A good synonym for anti-Trumpism is “anti-Americanism”.
Trumpism
spellcheck
Those who oppose Donald Trump are unaware of their reasons for opposing him.
(Not including cabal actors hiding their crimes.)
Other than criminal cabal members, nobody who opposes Trump is capable of articulating this opposition in an intelligible manner.
Use of American economic power before military might to influence foreign behavior. Huuuuge!
Trump-ism is patriotism.
I guess your comment’s language is an example.
The word “opposing” has a much stronger meaning than disagreeing or not supporting.
I disagree with Trump. I don’t support him. But I do t oppose him. I voted for him twice. I won’t again, but not because of his policies. But because of his age.
But discussions like those are not going to educate anyone. I stopped trying a long time ago.
You don't sound like one; I couldn't find a single lie in your post!
"Build back better" is what was going on under Trump's leadership, until the communist Chinese bio-weapon attack and the fraudulent election.
It is pretty clear that the the Leftists prefer to use “Trumpism” as an epithet, in nearly exactly the same way that for decades they have used “McCarthyism”.
It is shorthand for Hitler to them.
I actually am grateful to Leftists in that respect. When you read and listen to enough of their blather you can discern the exact point they are going to make from the first sentence and sometimes, even the first couple of words.
And I can predict with a good degree of accuracy, too. They have saved me months of valuable life time I didn’t need to waste trying to figure out what they are saying.
All you have to do is listen to them.
Are you sure, particularly when it comes to democracy?
Funny enough, the term “classical liberal” concerns itself with the nineteenth century and regards Thomas Jefferson as the only Founding Father to whom it applies.
And the term “liberal” per se has been a de facto synonym (or euphemism) for Marxist for too long now to rehabilitate in the eyes of the vast majority.
The KGB even assigned Julius Rosenberg the code name "LIBERAL" as revealed in the Venona decryptions.
After seeing this interview LINK: G. Edward Griffin Interviews Yuri Bezmenov (1984) I certainly don't think this hijacking of the language was an accident because it is the modus operandi of the Left, and I have wondered if the hijacking of the term "liberal" didn't really originate in the American Left to begin with.
Generally, it just means that they have foam-at-the-mouth hatred for liberty, free speech, and America first policies.
Whether or not we agree with President Trump on this or that issue, Trumpism is essentially defending the interest of America and its people against the globalist elites, foreign and domestic, and their Great Reset/New World Order.
And we have found some odd allies in that effort.

I can see how white nationalism and racism are their top concerns, because Joe Biden is a White Nationalist, and ht is a racist. And the Democrats voted for him
What I’m trying to explain by stating in simple terms is that those who are against Trump don’t know why they’re against him.
You say you disagree with him but you voted for him. So you contradict your own opinion, or your own vote.
