In his article in the Daily Telegraph, writer Tim Stanley believes that US President Donald Trump is about to lose the 2020 presidential election.

He pointed out that his support did not reach 45% in more than two years, and that if he loses, many people will blame his populist policies. The right will say, "Here's what happens when you move away from free-market capitalism," and the left will say, "Populism was really just white racism and there aren't enough whites to keep Trump in power."

Nevertheless, the author believes that there is an alternative reading of the Trump presidency that the real problem is that Trump was not populist enough.

He hinted at a growing debate among populist intellectuals that Trump had spoiled his project somewhat. He explained that right-wing populism is usually based on conservative cultural principles and an economic approach closer to class warfare: young people versus elites.

Trump took advantage of conservative cultural principles by taking tough positions, such as in abortion and carrying arms, and kept the country at peace. This was seen as an example of Trump's immense popularity: my people, my country and my culture must always come first.

Stanley criticized Trump's speech that he always overshadowed his accomplishments, and that once things calm down in the country, he is disturbed by his remarks, as is the case with his announcement to buy Greenland. The Republican elite also points out that Trump's victories are often achieved when he rules as a Republican committed to rules, but undermines them with his bizarre policies such as his trade war with China.

One of Trump's happiest consequences is that she forced US conservatives to ask the question, "What do we want to preserve besides making money?"
