I don't think trump is a liberal or conservative. I would say he is mostly into his own self-interest he will align with whatever or whoever serves his purpose. Right now that so happens to be the republican party. AS far as him being in disguise I would say no. I think he believes everything he is saying to some extent. The main reason he is doing good is because he is entertaining, he has tap into a lot of anger and resentment, and he displays a lot of the characteristics that we have been taught are right; "alpha" male traits, he built his own empire with just a "small" loan from his father, and he is white. Most Americans and let's be real most of the world view a lot of these things as important it does not matter that what he is saying and doing is wrong.
