Republicans are more socialist than most Democrats. Republicans are in favor of, and actually implemented, public ownership of private businesses (Intel, Westinghouse, US Steel). Obama took stakes in companies during the financial crisis, but then EXITED those stakes (moved away from socialism). Trump has absolutely no plans to exit the public ownership of private companies. And has been adding more and more over time.

I don't think governing Republicans, and especially Trump, see that a socialist. I think they see that as adding assets to their own portfolios, even if by force. I don't believe they have any intention of sharing any gains from these stakes with the American people.
If his pie hole is open, chances are Trump will emit a lie. That's what he does best.
