There's a hint of another turn coat conspiracy theory in there.  Supposedly, Trump is a life long New York liberal who turned Republican purely to destroy the party from within.  Not quite the same as Iturbide.  I don't really believe it.  He seems too sincerely messed up to be faking it.

Trump has always been about Trump.  True, around the turn of the Millennium, he held a few "liberal" views, such as pro-choice.  However, nothing else about his record indicates that he was in any way progressive.  All through his life, his chief values have been about enriching and publicizing himself.

No disagreement.  I'm throwing out a 'conspiracy theory' which 'supposedly' has merit.  Your 'Trump has always been about Trump' observation has more merit.

I just saw hints of the Trojan Horse theory in The Ringer's spin on things.
