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.

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.
