Trumpism is a right-wing political movement based on the ideology of United States president Donald Trump, a very active member of the Republican Party. The Trumpist faction of the Republican Party, the Freedom Caucus, has become the largest faction in the federal Republican Party.

Trumpism is a right-wing ideology that is heavily influenced by national conservatism, right-wing populism and social conservatism. It has also been described as Americanist, Christian rightist, illiberal, isolationist, libertarian, nationalist, protectionist, and semi-authoritarian.

Similar ideologies overseas

Many foreign right-wing politicians have been described as their country's version of Trump or who have been major allies of Trump. These include Argentina's Javier Milei, Australia's Pauline Hanson and Clive Palmer, Brazil's Jair Bolsonaro, France's Marine Le Pen, Hungary's Viktor Orbán, Italy's Silvio Berlusconi and Giorgia Meloni, Japan's Shinzo Abe, the Netherlands' Geert Wilders and the United Kingdom's Nigel Farage.

During the lead-up to the 45th Canadian federal election, the Liberal government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau compared the Conservative opposition to the Republican Party and the MAGA movement and compared Opposition Leader Pierre Poilievre to Trump.
