He used populist rhetoric during his campaign in 2016 such as “draining the swamp” which he never even tried to accomplish, he never ended any war despite him saying he would, he actually talked about universal healthcare to some capacity but never tried to fix the system, his policies were mostly aligned with basic republican establishment policies such as corporate tax cuts, deregulation, continuing the war on terror, support of anti-bds laws, and pandering to the evangelical right.
