His actions are what the Republican party wants. I'm convinced he has no true philosophy. He doesn't really care about the government policies he now supports (Maybe Tax cuts for the rich but that's because they helped him). He just knows that's what the Republican party wants, and is doing what he is told. You get him in a meeting with Dems and he will agree with everything they say too.
His philosophy is to undue everything Obama did. He does hate Obama, but that dates back to 2008 when Obama upset his close family friend Hillary Clinton. He attacks HRC because it's red meat to the base. Just like he attacks Pelosi and Schumer. But truth be told he is great friends with both, and that's just politics. They can attack each other in public but wine and dine together behind closed doors. One of the reasons people hate politicians.
But just because he likes the Clintons that does not make him a democrat.
His policies determine his political standing, not his friends.
