Who exactly expected him to be that different from a run of the mill Republican President in practice? Immigration and trade were the two only areas he seriously diverged from past Republicans (aside from bashing the war in Iraq).
His coalition, donors, and the like are comprised of traditional Republicans and conservatives. There is no serious altright intellectual, donor, or grassroots movement and nor is there a true altright presence outside the White House. In fact I'm sort of relieved that Trump is turning out far more conventional than I thought he would be.
I wouldn't have voted for him still (the Muslim ban, the racism, and the Russians were too difficult for me to surmount) but he's turning out to be vastly more conventional. As I've said if it wasn't for the aforementioned issues this is a Trump I would've voted for.
