Genuine Conservative = True Conservative = True Scotsman

No true Scotsman is an informal fallacy, an ad hoc attempt to retain an unreasoned assertion.

Does not apply. No true Scotsmen is a universal assertion fallacy. Saying Trump is not a conservative is a fact about one individual. Does not mean you can’t support him it just means do it with your eyes wide open.
