Depends on your definition. He's sure not what was considered "conservative" a decade or two ago. But he is what is currently labeled "conservative".

The older definition was small government, limited federal power, fiscally conservative, protect the Constitution. The new definition is... something very different.

This hasn't been true for probably over 40 years. Every conservative presidency has resulted in causing more budgetary issues, increasing the power of the feds and chipping away at the constitution. You can look at the actions taken and the budget over the years. Reagan massively blew up the national debt with Reaganomics, George W followed in his wake and so did Trump. The new definition of the GOP is just what happens when the mask fully falls off and they don't feel a need to lie to people.
