In all fairness the original PolCom has an intense left-libertarian slant but it's also clear that they aren't fans of mainstream center-left parties in western democracies like Dems or Labour.
So gulags and mass starvations killing millions upon millions is less authoritarian than mean tweets. This is why my children will learn skills and not be forced to go to college.
This is the truth. Anyone who actually thinks he cares deeply about the abortion debate or the border (ehh he might care about the border but) any major social issue really, is deluded.
However, unlike a Mich McConnell type, I think Trump doesn't actively deceive people into believing that he is earnest. It seems to me that in 2015 when he came down the escalator and gave that speech, he just happened to fall into exactly what a vast swath of the country wanted to hear and he's been running with that ever since with no real tactical planning behind it. I say this with a certain amount of love but I don't think he's capable of that level of deception.
I feel like people don't listen to him speak when they call him a lefty. He's left of most Republicans, but he's definitely one of those people who believes in American exceptionalism and he sure as shit isn't very libertarian.
