As for the bases as you list them, I disagree. Trump was elected espousing rhetoric that was not Republican at all. His most ardent supporters would not have been Republican because of this. I know that if you look at a Wikipedia article on a political base they refer to the party, but that isn't a hard and fast definition. Political science is more nuanced than that.
Trump is a truly centrist president. He is as independent as they get.
Had the conservatives had their way it would be President Ted Cruz.
