Honestly if the US actually had a left wing party that challenged the status quo, I'm sure he's vapid enough that he might have tried to get his cult of personality going there.
I don't think it would have gone well for him because he's actually just a straight up shitty person, but I feel like for an obvious narcissist like him the party lines are just window dressing.
100%.
Trump has had some Republican inclinations, but he could have absolutely been a leftist demagogue. Or any affiliation really.
Look how he tore through other Republicans like toilet paper.
