The mystery about Donald Trump is that most of his positions aren't conservative positions at all, but liberal positions. He bangs the drum on various populist measures and complains about problems that it took years of hard work by conservatives to create. Who put the low tax rate on carried interest into the tax code that hedge fund people pay? Conservatives. Who starves infrastructure and veterans of needed funds? Conservatives. Even Trump's anti-immigration stance is shared by some liberal union people. Yet conservatives often stress that they want strict conservatives in elected office. So, what do conservatives want? To 'Make America Great' or Conservatism or some other melding of the two? It's all incoherent. No one would be more disappointed by a Trump presidency than conservatives.
