Trump is no moderate. He’s been a racist since the 80s when he advocated 5 black and Latino guys get Capital punishment for a crime they were later found not to have committed.

He started the dog whistle campaign of Obama not being an American way before he thought about running for President.

He’s been pro tariff since the 90s also.

During his first run and his first time in office, the institutionalist wing of the Republican Party fought him tooth and nail.

Sorry! That was careless phrasing. Thank you for fuzzing the careless thinking behind it. It should have been

   "Trump is now seen (and wants to be seen) by the right+(white) center left as moderate"

Is that more reasonable?

(Is he going for "Leto I Atreides"?)
