Trump... far right? Are you kidding?

The man probably isn't even against gay marriage or abortion (I doubt he will ever fight gay marriage and I believe he only is against abortion due to being elected by conservatives). Also, his view on women, how he thinks he can do whatever he wants with them, and the fact that he has numerous divorce means he doesn't really hold the support of the Christian right.

He is a liberal or centrist at best who just coincidentally got elected on the Republican ticket and occasionally does conservative things. I would say Obama is more left wing than Trump is right wing.

He isn't really authoritarian either, he just says a lot of big talk. Heck, he may even "think" he is authoritarian, but he isn't. The man doesn't hold power of democrats (they hate him) or republicans (they put up with him) and has already been shut down numerous times by the Senate and the judicial branch.

Any check of Trump's political compass proves that this is bull crap. Trump? A centralist? That's the funniest thing I've heard. Almost all American politicians fall in the alt right square on a political compass - including Obama and Clinton. If i knew how to insert pics I would but since I don't a link will have to do. https://www.politicalcompass.org/uselection2016

Ok I more mean a centrist in contemporary American politics, not global or even lifelong American political history. Compared to politics in the past 50 years or so in America, he is a centrist. He is liberal on certain things (multiple wives/divorces, doesn't want to go against gay marriage it looks like, is against outsourcing jobs to other countries because they have cheaper workers) and is conservative in others (big spending on military, anti abortion appointment to the Supreme Court, trying to weaken/eliminate the department of education). Heck, Bill Clinton (when he was President) was more socially conservative than Trump is now (as was Hillary, probably).
