Center

Over the years political experts have conceded that an independent cannot be elected president. The two parties are so well entrenched that they have closed the door on any outsider but Trump has come as close as can happen to acting like an independent. The first attempt at this occurred with Bill Clinton when he moved to the center in a process called triangulation. He would take the extremes of each party on a particular issue and bring both to the center and Trump is doing the same thing only more so. The idea is to take the best from the right and the left and discard the rest. Trump used this on immigration and on guns and now on trade. Some members of each party like it and others dislike it. It is a way to break the grid-lock that has a strangle hold on Washington.
