Sounding like a MAGA

Sounding like a progressive. The progressive base of the Democratic party has always had a more protectionist bent than the party at large, and certainly more than the traditional conservative Republican party. Trump's political insight was in recognizing that there was strong support for progressive views on trade policy (and Medicare) within the GOP electorate, who weren't nearly as conservative on economic policy as the business wing. He rebranded that progressive protectionism as "MAGA" and ditched that portion of the conservative platform for good.
