While we're very happy to have you in the Gulch and appreciate your wanting to fully engage, some things in the Gulch (e.g. voting, links in comments) are a privilege, not a right. To get you up to speed as quickly as possible, we've provided two options for earning these privileges.

The Donald made my skin crawl at times with his outrageous statements (I am a Rand Paul supporter), but his policy objectives didn't pose the outright threat to our continued well being that Hillary's did. The choice was obvious, and I haven't regretted it.
I support Trump because he is reducing the scope of government beyond any previous President. I never thought he would be this good at this, but he is better than just about any of the other candidates we pondered, except perhaps the irritating Mr. Cruz, but we'll never know now.
Her when a candidate "I dream of open borders" statement scared me into getting a 9mm carbine with two 30-round clips.
I named it "The Evil Hag." I've only taken it out of hiding to look at it once since she lost the election.
I still buy 9mm bullets though.
Is he a libertarian? No, he's lived his entire life in New York and is probably pretty liberal in attitudes.
While in theory Congress defines what the government can and cannot do, the regulatory state really runs things and anything that can be done to decrease their power is, in my opinion, a good thing.
"... he is undoing the continual growth of the state at the expense of the individual." It is at the expense of the individual that he is undoing the continued growth of the state.
(2) However, I doubt that that is true. Name one thing that President Trump has done to "undo the continued growth of the state."
(3) If anything, his proposals from the Border Wall to tariffs on imports and taxes on corporations are very much a promise to continue the expansion of government.
(4) Congress, staring with the House of Representatives, makes the budget that defines what government can and cannot do. The President signs it or vetoes it, but he has no power to initiate anything except by moral persuasion, pretty much just like you but with a megaphone.
Is he perfect? hell no , but he has stood up to the established swamp. He recognizes the disadvantage the USA has with trade and he sees the global warming for what it is . A phony premise that is meant to extract wealth from The USA. He has told the UN to stick it where the sun Don't shine. He has called out the fake news. Thanks Mr President.
President Trump is no more emotionally committed to your issues than he is to a golf course or a hotel.
It is his willingness to stand up hard like a boulder against a horrendous crap storm of defamation 24/7 being hurled at him from every direction.
His force of personality and willingness to stand up to the combined effort of the establishment is more important than his ideological purity. We didn't get to this place in one step by one president, we won't get out of it in one step either.
