The most common consensus is that Trump is a [[Populism|populist]] [[Paleoconservatism|paleoconservative]], however the [[Deep State]] has further insisted that he is a [[White supremacism|White supremacist]]. His foreign policy is debated upon as well, being considered [[Anti-imperialism|anti-imperialist]] by [[Patriotic Socialism|Patriotic Socialists]] but [[Imperialism|imperialist]] by the [[Synthetic Left]].<ref name=":0">[https://showinfrared.substack.com/p/the-rise-of-maga-communism THE RISE OF MAGA COMMUNISM]</ref>

Donald Trump is often considered a prominent member of the [[Alt-Right]], a sociopolitical movement in the United States (US) advocating for a rejection of the [[Neoconservatism|neoconservative]] ("new" conservative) in favor of a return to an alternative conservative [[traditionalism]] and [[Nationalism|nationalistic]] American patriotism.<ref>[https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/01/alt-right-trump-washington-dc-power-milo-214629/ The Alt-Right Comes to Washington]</ref> After Trump came to office, the Alt-Right staged the [[Unite the Rally]] rally in [[North Carolina]] to stand behind the patriotic Trump administration.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NM6k8uNAQBA What Happened in Charlottesville?]</ref> The Alt-Right has often been criticized as [[Fascism|fascistic]] and has been called out for usage of [[Neo-Nazism|neo-Nazi]] optics.

=== America First ===

Donald Trump considers himself to be "America First" above all, supporting a pivot back towards American patriotism as opposed to a rising tendency of [[patriot nihilism]]. Trump has also pushed for ending imperialists wars in [[Africa]] and the [[Middle East]], instead pushing for a policy of [[isolationism]] that allows American troops and American money to be used to help the American people as opposed of hurting foreign people. The America First movement has grown beyond Trump, with [[Nick Fuentes]] becoming the founder of the [[America First Political Action Conference]] (AFPAC) in 2020. Fuentes met Trump during a dinner with [[Kanye West]] in 2022.

=== MAGA Communism ===
While Donald Trump does not adhere to it publicly, [[MAGA Communism]] is a slogan developed by [[Haz Al-Din]] that promotes Trump and the MAGA movement as part of a [[popular front]] political strategy to use MAGA as a fertile soil out of which [[American Communism]] can grow. Many MAGA Communists have endorsed Trump for the [[2024 American presidential election]], however some have diverted and instead have embraced Kanye West's campaign or have promoted the prospect of a [[Tulsi Gabbard]] run.<ref name=":0" />

=== Maoism ===

Donald Trump, particularly the MAGA movement that he has constructed and led, has often been compared to the [[Marxism-Leninism|Marxist-Leninist]] political tendency of [[Maoism]]. This has especially been true in the way Trump's political strategy has been analyzed, with some considering it identitcal to how [[Mao Zedong]] created a popular front between the [[proletariat]] and the [[peasantry]] against the [[Kuomintang]] during the [[Chinese Civil War]]. Trump, similarly, united the American proletariat with the American [[exo-peasantry]] against the [[Bourgeoisie|bourgeois]] [[global elite]]. Mao brought the [[Communist Party of China]] (CPC) into an alliance with the [[petty bourgeoisie]] to oppose foreign imperialism, whereas Donald Trump and the MAGA movement supported [[small business]] owners against the domestic imperialism of the [[Deep State]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/Ruslan_Heydari/status/1526752603983560705 Trumpism is Maoism.

=== Paleoconservatism ===
According to both supporters and critics of Donald Trump, he is a paleoconservative ("older or ancient" conservative). This brings out a contradiction between Trump and the leadership of the [[Republican Party]] (GOP), which adheres to neoconservatism. While neoconservatives often work with [[Neoliberal|neoliberals]] within the [[Democratic Party]] to further the cause of [[imperialism]], Trump instead worked with contemporary paleoconservatives from the "[[Radical Republican]]" faction to oppose [[liberal interventionism]]. The paleoconservative movements advocates for a pivot from the mainstream line of the [[Republican National Committee]] (RNC) and instead turning to isolationism, an abolition of [[taxation]], and a revival of American patriotism.<ref>[https://www.vox.com/2016/5/6/11592604/donald-trump-paleoconservative-buchanan Paleoconservatism, the movement that explains Donald Trump, explained]</ref> Trump, likewise, pulled out of the [[Middle East]], introduced major tax cuts, and promoted a patriotic line within the Alt-Right.<ref>[https://wordpress.com/home/socialistrevolution2030.wordpress.com Trump Orders Withdrawal of U.S. Troops From Northern Syria]</ref><ref>[https://www.reuters.com/article/usa-trump-somalia/trump-to-withdraw-most-troops-from-somalia-as-part-of-global-pullback-idUSKBN28F04C Trump to withdraw most troops from Somalia as part of global pullback]</ref><ref>[https://www.militarytimes.com/news/pentagon-congress/2022/10/13/trump-ordered-rapid-withdrawal-from-afghanistan-after-election-loss/ Trump ordered rapid withdrawal from Afghanistan after election loss]</ref><ref>[https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy/trump-tax-cuts-and-the-middle-class-here-are-the-facts Trump tax cuts and the middle class: Here are the facts]</ref><ref>[https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/truth-trump-tax-cuts-biden-andy-puzder The truth about Trump's tax cuts by the numbers, not by Biden: Andy Puzder]</ref><ref>[https://trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/briefings-statements/president-donald-j-trump-protecting-americas-founding-ideals-promoting-patriotic-education/ President Donald J.
