Aside from immigration, Trump on every issue either moved the GOP to the left or left it as he found it.

Trump absolutely took GOP Left on many issues; that’s the Populist element to his appeal. Cernovich constantly says now “Go left on economics and hold on culture” or something. Its that energy which Trump taps into.
-
Right. Indeed, that is nearly the entire point of arguing that "Trumpism" has any policy content. If the argument is just "do the stuff you promised already," there are plenty of people willing to do that, & no need for an intra-party schism.

Yes, Trump smashed the calcified orthodoxy on foreign policy, and it deserved every bit of it. Viewing it as Hawk/Dove is silly—also: it’s far more conservative to prefer bilateral agreements (as Trump did) to multilateral ones.
-
Bilateral > multilateral was, as you may recall, a major W push; that was at the heart of the "coalition of the willing" vs "global test" fight of the 2004 election. Not remotely new with Trump.

Trump actually did conservative things not just talk about them

The GOP has been doing conservative things...for decades. That you don’t care to acknowledge them is not their fault.pic.twitter.com/3EuvdXmLNy
