Economically, Trump is the most left-wing president in history

Whatever that's supposed to be referring to, maybe tariffs, maybe buying $10B in Intel, maybe deregulating crypto, maybe starting trade wars, maybe bankrupting small farmers, maybe bailing out Argentina's libertarian conservative regime, none of which are particularly "left-wing" -- that doesn't make him a leftist, politically speaking.
"What fascinates me is how the Republicans have lined up in support of his policies"
That's what cultists do -- Follow The Leader. Surely you understand Trump has created his own Cult of Personality. en.wikipedia.org
"while Dems now appear to be the champions of free markets."
That's an absurd comment. Dems have always been champions of free markets.
"If you want to find an analog for Trump, the best would be Dennis Kucinich. Next would be Huey Long. Both progressive Dems."
Stalin and Mao are better analogies.
