What is a communist? Dictatorship. Xi and Fatty III are both openly titled as heads of their communist party. Putin is communist in all but name. Trump loves those communists. He constantly praises them. He clearly demonstrates appreciation for dictators. And the tools that so easily bring communist dictators to power (ie hate groups KKK, anti-Semites, White Supremacists, Misogynists, Nazi, Islamophobist, etc).

You can argue semantics all day. But Trump has greater appreciation for communism - also called a dictatorship.

Given the opportunity, he would "Make America Great Again" by making it into a communist dictatorship. Then he need not worry about trivial problems such as grand juries, prosecution for lying, impeachment, and obstruction of justice indictments.

"Given the opportunity, he would "Make America Great Again" by making it into a communist dictatorship."

Your evidence? Can you point to any piece of Trump-sponsored or Trump-considered legislation that has moved, or will move, America in the direction of state socialism or state communism?

Just one.

I can. Red flag laws. but I think he's just messin' with the dems on that one.

Your turn...

"the identity politics on the left birthed Trump who is also an identity politician"

Absolutely.

The manure of the left (and a good chunk of the right) was countered with Trump's hiring. That he bangs the opposing drum as loudly as the left (and some of the right) is part of the deal.

What, you thought he was gonna go 'open borders' once he took the Big Chair?
