According to Ben Tarnoff, writing in ''[[The Guardian]]'', a key element of Trumpism is that it holds "the notion that people of color and women are less than fully human", and does so explicitly, unlike other elements in the Republican Party. A second component of Trumpism, according to Tarnoff, is that it is anti-elitist, and critical of corporate dominance and possibly supportive of social protection.<ref name="graun"/>

Trumpism is a set of policies advocated by, or controversial remarks made by, Donald Trump.[1]

Background

The term "Trumpism" has been used by The Guardian, the New York Times, The Hill, and others. [2][3][4]

Characteristics

Trumpism is populist, emphasizing class grievance but without the idea of the class revolution found in revolutionary socialism. Trumpism also embraces concepts such as nativism and isolationism.[5] [6][7][8][9][10]

Validity as an ideology

Critics of Trumpism on the political left have described it as another form of conservatism, while critics on the political right have characterized it as anti-conservative in nature. Others have stated Trumpism has no coherent set of principles and represents a permanently evolving appeal to popular thought.[3] Still others have claimed that Trumpism is a form of Bircherism.[11]

Some critics believe Trumpism is not any form of ideology but simply a transient set of policies tied to the political career of Donald Trump. Justin Guest of George Mason University, however, has posited that Trumpism's "allure is bigger than Trump himself". Noting that its supporters were more likely than traditional conservatives to be under the age of 40, Guest believes it will have longevity that eclipses Trump's presidency, making it more than merely a set of policies tied to a moment in time.[12]
