What specifically makes Trump a proponent of populism in the pure and technical sense of the concept? As opposed to traditional and “routine” politics and campaigning that’s more or less the basis of every American election?

Well it's a matter of the lesser of two evils. At least Trump makes some good decisions.

You might as well ask what makes Trump better than GW Bush, or Romney, or McCain.

The establishment nominated really, really shitty candidates.

Trump pulled us out of the Paris Climate Accord.

Trump had more of A Ross Perot approach to Trade

Trump admitted that our foreign policy and the forever wars are often immoral.

Trump did slow the illegal immigration.

Trump, possibly inadvertently, exposed the deep state and flushed out the evil FBI and CIA.
