    Trump is a pseudopopulists, he fools people into thinking he is fighting for them while fighting for himself.

      Everyone thinks their populist is the real deal and the others are frauds, but at the day populism is not about good policy, it’s about making a show of putting up a fight. There have been many populists in political history and only a very small percentage have been materially helpful to their constituents.
