This was likewise a major reason why I & other conservatives mistrusted him on social issues. OTOH, as I wrote in Sept 2016, the likeliest reason for Trump to stay loyal to the Right was if Democrats were too wedded to their base's anger to seduce him: https://www.nationalreview.com/2016/09/trump-presidency-what-democrats-would-do/ …https://twitter.com/daveweigel/status/1128682463826534400 …

Pleasing moderate voters would make the base angry, and Trump defaults to whatever gets the base cheering. Not obvious in 2016. At the time, @jonathanchait was speculating whether Trump would be like Schwarzenegger, pivoting to whatever was popular http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2016/02/why-liberals-should-support-a-trump-nomination.html … pic.twitter.com/ckszVHOxaQ
