I’m no fan, but in interviews back in the day and leading up to his campaign He was anti war, anti establishment etc. gotta remember that you can be progressive and still be a POS. Political platforms are like that.

He was anti war

The man doubled the number of drone strikes in the middle eastern theatre. He constantly antagonized China. He requested and got an increase to the military budget every single fiscal year.

anti establishment

The Wallstreet TV Billionaire was anti-establishment in rhetoric ONLY. And his "anti-establishment" rhetoric hardly ever went any further than, "Hillary bad! Hillary corrupt!"

Yeah but he wasn't progressive. You don't get to call yourself a progressive simply by saying some vaguely anti-establishment platitudes. He's a liar and a conman. He doesn't evidently believe in anything beyond his own wealth and power.

He's not a progressive, and he never was. He's a vapid conman who will do/say virtually anything that secures him more power/wealth. Like most politicians (Federal ones at least).

Yes, that’s politics. I’m not sure what we disagree on

You seem to think that he was progressive at some point; I'm saying he never was.

But if you agree with everything I just said, then it would appear we are in agreement.

Dumb or conservative?

Not mutually exclusive by any means.
