 Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign, noted for its anti-establishment, anti-illegal immigration and anti-free trade rhetoric, was characterized as that of a right-wing populist.The ideology of Trump's former Chief Strategist, Steve Bannon, has also been described as such.According to a 2018 study, there is a strong correlation between the ratio of U.S. jobs that were lost to automation and the states—such as Iowa, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin—that voted for Barack Obama in 2012 and for Trump in 2016.
