I think your conflated Trump (and Kenny) with rightwing ideology. When really the thing that defines them in opposition to the typical CPer is their lack of respect for the institutions of governance.
In general CP is looking for government that works, and those two are arsonist who think if they destroy the institutions of government some invisible hand utopia will spontaneously take control of the economy and guide us to a mythical promise land. Its a childish notion for unserious people who don't respect years of research in behavioral psychology.
And the entire idea that its "conservative" to form your political philosophy on destroying the institutions of governance that currently exist is a little laughable. CPs investment in the status quo or desire to preserve the environment for future generations, is incredibly small c conservative compared to the zealotry of Trumpists.
