sorry but I think you do not really understand what neoliberalism is.

you said you are either right or left and you are caring other people, right ?

so please have a look at wikipedia or some other reliable source and let them explain you what neoliberal stands for in the past and what it stands for now.

neoliberal refers to a point which is neither capitalism nor communism. the German "social market economy" in which the state can intervene in the free market and restrict it if it harms the common good, for example, originates from the idea of neoliberalism.

the newer definition of neoliberalism since the eighties refers first of all to general pinochet who called himself the neoliberalist but was far from it. later on economic hammerheads of a margaret thatcher or ronald reagan were called "neoliberal" - people who have proven that they are smooth zeros in economic questions.

i wouldn't call trump a neoliberalist now, because even the most obsessed neoliberalists see him more in the dictators corner of hitler. but as far as his knowledge about the world economy is concerned, he's more in the league of ronald reagan, who i think did pretty much everything wrong that can be done wrong. with that, he even gained a place in economics as a negative example. today "reagonomics" is a popular term for the stupidest kind of economic policy - I think "trumponomics" will replace him soon.
