There's definitely a lot of truth to the idea that Trump campaigned on moving the Republicans to the center specifically on trade, antitrust, and preserving (some) of the social safety net.
But he's obviously still pretty ideologically conservative on weakening government agencies, deregulation, making taxation more regressive, threatening/cutting parts of the safety net, etc. Also it's worth noting that outside of trade and using antitrust to spite some rich people he doesn't like, he's done nearly none of the economically-left things he campaigned on in 2015/2016.
