Trump was one of the biggest RINOs in politics - at least as that term was understood in 2014. It always frustrated me to have to explain to people (especially on the left) that he wasn’t actually conservative (in the fusionist sense of the term).

You’re absolutely right that he ran and governed as a NY liberal’s caricature of a conservative. The worst thing was that he made the stereotypes true.

I wondered when someone would define what a RINO truly is. Most politicians are scared of losing their career if they turn against Trump but in the end it’s not just their career that’s in jeopardy but their personal integrity.
