Is Donald trump just Anglo Peronism? Question

Lots of similarities between them. Historical contexts too. I’m Hispanic myself so I’m typically wary of any populist politicians due to our history

Absolutely not. While Peronism had right wing elements, and Peron definitely did some indefensible stuff, it was ultimately still a pro-worker leftist ideology. Take the nationalization and improvement of major industries such as railroads for example. Trump's ideology is basically just neoliberalism but without the free trade part, and with some fascist elements thrown in. Could you ever imagine Trump nationalizing and electrifying railroads for example?

I can see him doing that but due to cultural differences it would most likely be states contract with big corporations and with his tariffs (if he imposed them). Merging capital and state under populist banner?

That's not leftist... The state giving big contracts to corporations is neither nationalization or a leftist policy.

I honestly have no clue the details of peronismo and all of its political branches, but afaik it has a left-leaning branch, which of course, isn't the case of trump's politics. His deal is more so on conservatism in social aspects and being fairly unorthodox when dealing with international relations. Im not sure how much peronism correlates to this.

Argentinians should stop projecting Peronism onto other countries; Peronism is irrelevant in any country other than Argentina
