Trumpism is a political movement that follows the political ideologies associated with Donald Trump and his political base.[7][8] It incorporates ideologies such as right-wing populism, national conservatism, neo-nationalism, and has also been described as being authoritarian[a] and neo-fascist.[b] Trumpist rhetoric heavily features anti-immigrant,[43] xenophobic,[44] nativist,[45] and racist attacks against minority groups.[46][47] Other identified aspects include conspiracist,[48][49] isolationist,[45][50] Christian nationalist,[51] protectionist,[52][53] anti-feminist,[19][15] and anti-LGBT[54] beliefs. Trumpists and Trumpians are terms that refer to individuals exhibiting its characteristics.

The distinguishing mark of Trumpism is that it is authoritarian,[55] meaning that Trumpists do not want presidential power to be limited by the Constitution or by the rule of law.[56] It has been referred to as an American political variant of the far right[57][58] and the national-populist and neo-nationalist sentiment seen in multiple nations worldwide from the late 2010s[59] to the early 2020s. Though not strictly limited to any one party, Trump supporters became the largest faction of the United States Republican Party, with the remainder often characterized as "the elite" or "the establishment" in contrast. In response to the rise of Trump, there has arisen a Never Trump movement.

Some commentators have rejected the populist designation for Trumpism and view it instead as part of a trend towards a new form of fascism or neo-fascism, with some referring to it as explicitly fascist and others as authoritarian and illiberal.[60][20][62][note 3] Others have more mildly identified it as a specific light version of fascism in the United States.[66][31] Some historians, including many of those using a new fascism classification,[note 4] write of the hazards of direct comparisons with European fascist regimes of the 1930s, stating that while there are parallels, there are also important dissimilarities.[68][69][note 5] Certain characteristics within public relations and Trump's political base have exhibited symptoms of a cult of personality.[71][72][73][74]

The label Trumpism has been applied to national-conservative and national-populist movements in other democracies. Many politicians outside of the United States have been labeled as staunch allies of Trump or Trumpism (or even as their countries' equivalent to Trump) by various news agencies; among them are Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil, Tayyip Erdo;an of Turkey, Viktor Orb;n of Hungary, Rodrigo Duterte of the Philippines, Shinzo Abe of Japan, and Yoon Suk Yeol of South Korea.

woo-woo

NOUN
unconventional beliefs regarded as having little or no scientific basis, especially those relating to spirituality, mysticism, or alternative medicine:
"some kind of metaphysical woo-woo"

Woo-woo is a slang term for beliefs or practices that are based on false or imaginary things, rather than reason or scientific knowledge. It is often used as a derogatory term for people who accept supernatural, paranormal, occult, or pseudoscientific phenomena, or emotion-based explanations. Woo woo can also be used as an interjection to express exuberant delight or approval, but this is a different meaning and spelling from woo-hoo.
