So this is interesting. One analysis of how Trump has acted since getting elected shows that he has become more conservative.

More from Fox News:
President Donald Trump appears to have moved to the right politically since he took office, according to new analysis by OnTheIssues.org.
The website, which assigns an ideological grade to politicians’ statements and votes, found in 2016 that Trump was conservative on social and economic issues about 42.5 percent of the time. By 2018, however, that number had jumped to 60 percent, which puts Trump just one point behind former President Ronald Reagan.
Reagan, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush had scores of 61.1, 60 and 35 percent, respectively.
On “The Daily Briefing,” political writer Harry Enten said many Republicans argued during the 2016 campaign that Trump wasn’t a true conservative.
“But once he got into the White House and once he was dealing with Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan, it’s pretty clear that he has enacted a conservative agenda,” Enten said, pointing to the GOP tax overhaul and the failed attempt at repealing and replacing Obamacare.
He warned that Trump’s move to the right could be risky politically because he was elected in part because he was seen as more moderate than Hillary Clinton.
Although I’ve been very critical of Trump, I generally agree with this. This is exactly why I didn’t like him before – he was pretty populist and NOT conservative on many issues. But since getting into office, no matter what odd idiocies he’s tweeted or said, he’s largely governed as a conservative. I just don’t see why a principled conservative would argue with that. #MAGA!!!
