True, though I would not take Trump as a good example of a conservative. He certainly plays hard on some of the conservatives' currently favorite instruments and sings some of their favorite songs, but that doesn't mean he is ideologically one - just that he wants their votes, and they are willing to ignore (not all of them, mind you - there's a sizeable anti-Trump sentiment among the conservatives) his mismatches with their agenda because they perceive the matches are more important.
