Yes, because Trump's billionaire cabinet does so well at protecting union jobs, wealth redistribution, and not creating new branches of the military, and even paying members of its own government
Nah, this Macdonald guy doesn't get it. Trump says some things that the populist-progressives like, and then doesn't really follow through. And like I just alluded to, he's conflating populism with progressivism. Populists are not the left.
Progressives want racial equality; Trump promotes racism. Progressives want free trade and freedom of movement; Trump builds walls. Progressives want a working social safety net; Trump removes the safety net for government employees. Progressives want a progressive tax structure; Trump approved a tax package that increased taxes on the middle class while cutting them for the rich. Progressives want to protect the environment; Trump has revoked national monuments.
The guy doesn't take social justice, economic justice, or environmental justice seriously at all. That's the heart of progressivism.
