I don't think Trump has a clear and cohesive ideology (he is too reactionary and impulsive probably to adhere to one).
He just wanted to be president and did what it took. His vehicle was the Republican party. It's not an American thing either. Politicians all over the world use political parties as their mechanism to gain power.
I think with the case of Trump, the party hopes to control him. I'm not sure they will be able to though.
