Trumpism

Trumpism is a nationalist, statist,  economically right, and  culturally right-wing ideology used to represent the ideology of the 45th United States President Donald Trump and his supporters. He believes in many conservative policies, such as American Nationalism and a strict opposition to illegal immigration.

[[File:Trump 2000.png]] 2000 Presidential Run [[File:RPUSA.png]]
Trump's first major venture into politics was in the 2000 Presidential Elections where he attempted to receive a nomination for the Reform Party. He was mostly inspired by the political positions of Reform Party founder Ross Perot, such as his support of full disclosure of campaign donations to political candidates. Some of his policies from 2000 are recognizable with Trumpism of today, for example in 2000 he proposed the US be tougher with China, increased military spending, border control, anti-terrorist initiatives (in particular one funded by a National Lottery) and strict anti-crime measures. However, his positions on taxing the highest 1%, single-payer healthcare, support for LGBT rights, enthusiasm for fair trade and gun control are less familiar with the Trump we know today, with him having more in common with Paternalistic Conservatism and  National Liberalism compared to the  Fiscal Conservative and  Protectionist approach he would later take on. Despite winning the party's primaries, he cancelled his presidential run after getting into a feud with primary challenger Pat Buchanan, who he called a  "Neo-Nazi" and a "Hitler lover".

Inbetween 2000 and 2016
After leaving the Reform Party, Trump registered as a Democrat in 2001. Due to dissatifaction with George Bush's presidency, he considered running against him in 2004 but turned it down. In 2008, he endorsed Hillary Clinton against  Barack Obama during the primaries and then endorsed  John Mccain during the election. After Obama won, he left the  Democratic Party and became increasingly critical of his administration. Supporting the Birther conspiracy theory and the Tea Party movement, then reregistered as a  Republican in 2011. It was widely speculated that he would run against Obama in 2012, with him even entertaining the idea, however he eventually decided not to run and endorsed  Mitt Romney for president instead. In 2015, he finally decided to run for president again and announced his 2016 campaign.

Trump's 2016 campaign proved to be his most successful, running for the Republican ticket. He brought significant attention to issues regarding illegal immigration, Islamic terrorism, political correctness, and reforming the federal government. Trump became extremely popular among Republican voters, winning the primaries and defeating many big-name conservatives like Ted Cruz,  Marco Rubio,  John Kasich and  Rand Paul. His staunchly anti-immigration and anti-islam rheotric also made him very popular with far-right circles, such as among White Nationalists and the  Alt-Right, while causing him to be accused of being racist by  Liberals and  Progressives. In the general election, Trump clashed with the Democratic nominee  Hillary Clinton, the two had great disdain for each other during their campaigns. Both candidates were controversial and disliked by the general public.

Donald Trump was inaugurated president on January 20, 2017. His most recognized accomplishment was consistent economic growth, despite greatly increasing the national debt. This came to an end with the Covid-19 Recession of 2020. He denies climate change and has rolled back on policies meant to limit its effects, although he has been a conservationist in many regards (Great American Outdoors Act, 1 Trillion Trees Initiative). His party repealed the least popular part of Obamacare, the individual mandate, although he failed to implement "TrumpCare". He has greatly increased border security and enforcement, garnering much controversy for the treatment of illegal immigration compared to past presidents. In terms of foreign policy, he has taken a hawkish approach on  Venezuela and  Iran, supported  Saudi Arabia's invasion of  Yemen and doubled the drone strikes from Obama's administration. However, he has also withdrawn troops from Syria and expanded outreach to  North Korea. He has been staunchly supportive of Israel and held close ties with the country's PM  Benjamin Netanyahu, under his presidency the US declared Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. During his presidency he was friendly to many international right-wing leaders including Nigel Farage and  Boris Johnson in  Britain,  Jair Bolsonaro in  Brazil,  Viktor Orbán in  Hungary,  Narendra Modi in  India,  Marine Le Pen in  France,  Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in  Turkey,  Jarosław Kaczyński in  Poland,  Horacio Cartes in  Paraguay,  Hong Joon-pyo in  South Korea,  Najib Razak in  Malaysia,  Matteo Salvini in  Italy and  Geert Wilders in the  Netherlands. While having a mixed relationship with Vladimir Putin of  Russia, who he was initially friendly with which caused many to claim the two were in cahoots, despite this he also continued many sanctions towards Russia and aided the troops in Ukraine against him. During 2020, Trump was met with criticism concerning his handling of the coronavirus pandemic and Black Lives Matter protests across the country.

[[File:Trump-MAGA-icon.png]] 2020 Presidential Run [[File:RepubUS.png]]
In 2020, the Democratic Party nominated  Joe Biden to run against Trump in the 2020 United States Elections. After the election, Joe Biden won by 306 electoral votes. Trump, after hearing this news, denied the results.

Trumpists, still believing the election was rigged, attacked and stormed the United States capitol. This was accompined by White Nationalists and  White Supremacists who also attempted to overturn the US election in favor of Trump. This insurrection failed and Joe Biden still became the 46th President of the United States. Alt-Right figure Richard Spencer, who endorsed Trump in 2016, decided to endorse Biden instead in 2020.

Donald Trump and his supporters still believe the election was rigged and have attempted made claims that Trump will be reinstated as president somepoint in 2021 or later. (QAnon conspiracy) Trump has also stated serious interest in running for president again in 2024, though is not the only Republican to have stated so.

[[File:World.png]] Outside the United States
Trumpism, and versions of Right Wing populism modeled to be similar to Trump's ideology and positions have gained some support outside the United States. A lot of rightpops outside of US have been called the Trumpism of their nations and many politicians have earned or gained the title of their nation's Donald Trump.

Trumpism in Canada
Despite his general unpopularity among Canadian (polls show only 20% would vote for Trump over Biden), Trumpism has found many supporters in conservative and libertarian circles across the country. Especially among those that claim that Canada has moved too far to the left both economically and socially. The political campaign of Pierre Poilievre has been compared to Trumpism by some in the public and many in the media. Other Figures like Kevin O'Leary, Doug Ford, Jason Kenney, Scott Moe, Derek Sloan, and Maxime Bernier have also been dubbed Canada's Donald Trump at different times for the styles or ideologies promoted by the campaigns, although sometimes falsely
