Is Trump a Republican?

 Let's ask the obvious question here, which Local Pravda's reporters don't find helpful since their objective is to divide the Republican party.

Is Trump a Republican?

That depends entirely on how you define the term "Republican," doesn't it?

If you accept the definition which was operative from roughly 1930-2000, Trump most certainly is NOT a Republican.  That Republican Party was the bankers, the (military)-industrialists, the Globaloney-impose-democracy-for-all bunch, the country-club low-tax/profit above all/screw the workingman bunch.  When you read the article, two prominent leftovers from that era are quoted.  One writes for a small-circulation magazine, the other retired.

But if you dig back a bit further in Pubbie history, you find Teddy Roosevelt, described as a "progressive" for his populist Square Deal, trust-busting, food and drug regulations, and railroad regs.  It is interesting to note that TR was also a Globaloney Guy--and it cost him the Presidency.  

The Trump Republican party was foreshadowed by Patrick Buchanan's rebellion against GHWBush's feckless globalism and Red China-philia (which the Reds tossed back into his face.)  PJB was an out-and-out populist America First-er, just like JFK was.  Of course, JFK's assassination ended the Democrat Party of the 1930-1965 era in favor of massive Government and massive "social spending AND war" programs.  But the PJB populism did not die.  Rather, it grew, especially as the "new" Democrat Party of the LBJ/Clinton/Obama era revealed its face to an increasingly horrified public.

Enter Trump.  He's a big spender, soft on crime, New York loudmouth with a glaringly obvious womanizing problem (unlike that of JFK, LBJ, and WJC, whose womanizing was buried by the presstitutes.)  But he had an America First agenda, loud and proud.  Re-home manufacturing to the USA!!  FAIR trade tariffs with such as China!!  STOP the invasion at the border, along with its drug-trade and child-prostitution camp-followers.  KILL Leviathan Government regulations, leaving only the essentials.  STOP foreign adventures-with-guns which get Americans killed, do nothing for the foreign citizens, but which enrich the military-industrial complex beyond the dreams of avarice!!

It helped that his infected-pustule Democrat opponent was Hillary.

Is Trump a "Republican"?

Only if you think that actual Americans who are not bankers or defense contractors, and who grok the reality of Communist China, want ABC's in their schools, like good-paying industrial jobs, and who are revolted by Democrat drag-queen and psychiatric case trannies, are Republicans.

Mark Graul and Christian Schneider need not apply.  This is a Party reserved for America First Americans--for the time being.
