Well, for one he has been pushing "fair" trade instead of free trade.
Both are conservative ideas. One a Fiscal, the other National. With a National Conservative, Fair Trade leads free trade because the playing field is level.

Free trade is a fundamental conservative value. It means no tarrifs and taxes on trade and the ability to conduct business in multiple countries with little to no government regulations or interference.
It's fundamental to free trade. But you don't, nor have you ever had free trade. There is 2 sides to that agreement. When one side is not adhering to no tariffs, taxes, or subsidies (china) it is no longer free trade. The very definition is violated.
This is were 2 different opinions within the conservative umbrella differ. At one point, the conservatives had a backbone and wanted something done about it. Throughout the Bush years and Obama Years... that was lost.

Trump doesn't plan on doing that.
You are right. He is more of a fair trader.

No. Fair trade (or the one Trump surrogates talk about) involves placing tarrifs, regulations, and taxes which is the exact opposite of conservative values.
