I’ve heard the theory that Trump 45 was mostly Ivanka and Jared Kushner while Mitch McConnell playing as the attempted puppet master (and in many cases succeeding). But now (for various reasons) they’re out of the picture, I think Trump 47, literally has no true plan nor ideology, he just wants to do whatever allows him to score victories.

He’s a “conservative” only by virtue of being both a billionaire and a sexist bigot, but he isn’t ideologically invested. He just wants to feed his legendary ego, that’s it.
