Trump does not have a core ideology. Just going by his gut. And it works.

I respectively disagree. His core ideology is to avoid kinetric warfare, until it becomes the only option left available. If he exercises any liberalism, it is the kind that once existed, but no longer has survived in many of the original liberals that used to actually make sense. What we have now are nothing but radical leftists, not liberals. DJT is one of the exceptions, and there may be a few others as well, though I can't really think of them, except perhaps Jonathan Turly:

Trump’s core ideology: America should be strong. It’s people should prosper.

Around 15 years ago, I presented a paper at a regional pol-sci conference (MAPSA). In the presentation, I argued that realism and idealism were not in conflict with one another, but were both needed to strengthen, ground and balance one another. It is ironic to see this view stated now, so many years later.

Agreed. If he has a core ideology it’s pragmatism.
