What part of Trump's first administration was not conservative?

Was it:

  1. Low inflation?
  2. Low unemployment, especially for blue collar work?
  3. Rising real wages?
  4. Standing up to China and tariffs?
  5. Building a wall and having the most secure border since the 1960s?
  6. Cheap gas, super high oil production?
  7. Selecting 3 SCOTUS judges that fundamentally changed the court?

That is an incomplete list but please tell us what is not conservative about any of those things?

When a RINO says “conservative”, what they really mean is the usual “go along to get along” approach that has brought our Constitutional Republic to the brink of disaster. Their definition of conservative includes open borders, aborting (murdering) the unborn, caving to every woke idea that the commies on the left hatch - basically, everything that is WRONG with today’s RepubLICKan party and is the real reason that 8 brave souls moved to oust the worthless Pelosi-wannabe McCarthy from the speakership.

If this Chip has something to say to me, as a MAGA supporter, let him come to Tennessee and say it to my face. The only thing that will brush his a$$ is a size 13 hiking boot.

Thank you for that...Whatever his personal leanings, whatever his personal character, the man governed to the Right of Reagan but you just cant make the pearl clutchers happy.
I cant figure out why the normal people cannot see that doing things “the way we’ve always done it” has been a colossal failure and the reason that Trump was elected in the first place.

He didn’t shrink the government, or our budget, he blew them up. He flip flopped on gay marriage the week after he was elected. He didn’t enforce law and order, he let Antifa and BLM run wild, and an election be possibly stolen. On the true conservative principles, he utterly failed.

Well said.
Not even sure at all what roy is frothing at the mouth about. Sure sounds like he got his politics and mouth in a bar room though.

“What part of Trump’s first administration was not conservative?”
_________________________________________________

Your list is good, and President Trump had some positive accomplishments. Here’s the rest of the story:

1. Adding $7 trillion to the national debt
2. Doing nothing about entitlement reform
3. Losing the 2018 mid-term elections in colossal fashion (followed up by losses in 2020 and 2022)
4. Horrendous personnel selections (Wray, Sessions, Mattis, etc.)
5. Celebrating the great work of Anthony Fauci.

This list could go on. Trump’s presidency was a mixed bag, with the top accomplishments being energy independence and USSC picks.

Not to mention it I will. Reversing job-killing, energy-killing regulations! Trump IS a conservative!

Bump stock ban. Making noises like he’d “take the guns first” and then sort it out violating both the 5th A and the 2 A in one shot.

Etc...

He spent decades as a New York mogul... He’s not the conservative bastion some make him out to be... he’s just better than most we’ve seen recently. We’ve had FAR too many RINO’s who are to the LEFT of Trump that make him seem RIGHT by comparison.
