It depends on your definition of Liberal.
One can argue that the USA has the most liberal laws in the world, as only there you have complete freedom to do what you want and your rights are actually enshrined into the Constitution, including the 5th amendment on the right to bear arms.
Most people hate American Gun laws but that is the definition of liberal. And the fact that they pretty much have a weekly school shootout is a massive concern.
In Australia, the Liberals are Right Wing Conservatives and they justify the title of liberal because their policies are for small Government, low bureaucracy, Low Businesses Taxes, Low Income Taxes for workers, more competition, and no interference with society. Basically remove all the barriers.
Basically, you can also argue that the progressives are not liberal at all, because they are more likely to engage in Social Engineering, attack the institutions, execute wealth redistribution, have a high tax environment and a lot of regulation.
So yes, Trump is probably as liberal as you can get in my view. Probably never be anyone as liberal as he is ever again.
The definition of Liberal in the UK seems to be Marxism, dressed up as progressiveness (clever marketing at its best). But there is nothing progressive about Marxism. This side of politics is into more the Social Engineering, deconstructing the Male Patriarchy, Gender Issues, Political Correctness and thought control, identity politics, attacking the institutions such as Church and State etc. The idea behind all this is to eventually unleash the Social Agendas of marxism, Communism, tear down Capitalism and for them to do that, they will also need to tear down the Church, the Family, and even Democracy itself.
Democracy, Christian values are strange or bad bedfellows with Marxist Ideology.
This is the reason why Brits voted for BREXIT asnd Americans voted for trump. The ALT Right revolution will gather steam more and more elsewhere as well. People don't want to be controlled, restricted or told what to think or say like sock puppets.
