How libertarian is President Trump? ?
Okay so he ran an America first campaign, for those of you who don’t know what this is, this is about ending the wars and less and less physical foreign interventionism. He is also very sociably liberal in many regards. Waaay better than these establishment republicans I can’t stand that want to fight in the Middle East for 200 years over populate our prisons for small drug crimes to make their small ***** bigger and a ton of other ridiculous social conservative inputs. The one thing that you could say that pushes trump waaaay off is wow though it is true that this man spends.

I ask but one question:
Where would you prefer to fight radical Muslims...here in the United State or in the Middle East?
If we pull out of the Middle East, we'll have more Sirhan Sirhan's, more 9/11's, more Omar's [See source]...all radical Muslims out to destroy western civilization.
Source(s): Omar Mateen, 29, attacked the Pulse nightclub in Orlando in the early morning hours of June 12. He was killed by law enforcement who raided the club after a prolonged standoff. - Anonymous1 year ago
What social issues is he "liberal" in? He's anti-abortion, anti-cannabis legalization, anti-marriage equality, anti-trans people in the military, etc.
He's increased the size of government and he's increased our debt. He's butted into issues that were decided at the state level.
He may have a brood of kids from different women and may and hob-nob with hookers and criminals, but politically speaking he's a typical conservative especially on the social issues.
I don't think of him as remotely libertarian.
ETA: A libertarian would be advocating for the things I mentioned. Trump hasn't and won't. His personal life is irrelevant. Politically speaking he's a conservative. Period. Look at who he's nominated for the Supreme Court FFS.
States legalizing cannabis...what's that got to do with Trump? NOTHING. Cannabis is illegal at the federal level and Trump has made zero indication he wants that changed.
As I asked you before, what social issues does he actively advocate liberal/libertarian stances on? NONE.

He has some libertarian leanings on foreign policy.
Economically, he's an ardent protectionist which is about as anti-libertarian as one can get. I don't think he really cares about social issues, which one could interpret as a libertarian view. Yet he had no problem sticking his government's nose into the issue of transgendered in the military, which is not a libertarian position.

Libertarians.
They want all the benefits of a Democratic civil society but do not want to pay for any of it.
Dont want to abide by any rules, laws or regulations. They want the benefits of living among a population but dont want to be bothered with having to share or work cooperatively to the benefit of all.
Trump's not a libertarian. Hes too stupid to understand any political concept beyond the most basic jingoism.
