James Pogue's excellent reporting on the intellectual far-right always provides little glimmers of insight, though for the most part I still can't quite make sense of Trumpism. In this article he quotes Sumantra Maitra, of The American Conservative saying "It’s between national capital and international capital." I think that summarizes the outlines of the movement, though the appeals to the cultural right (like the anti-immigration or the general racism) seem to have little to do with giving capitalists more power (or more labor to exploit).
