Am I actually wrong here about Trump being closer to libertarianism than Democrats in some major areas?

I got buried in r/AskReddit for saying Trump isn’t a libertarian, but that parts of his agenda overlap more with libertarian principles than Biden/Harris on things like taxes, deregulation, gun rights and shrinking parts of the federal bureaucracy. I also acknowledged that tariffs, immigration restrictions, deficit spending and government ownership stakes are clearly not libertarian.
The replies mostly said “Trump isn’t libertarian” as if it disproved the narrower comparison I was making.

Am I missing something, or is “Trump the furthest thing from a libertarian” just as overstated as calling him one?

Either way I’m being downvoted because of Reddit hive mind…

"I don’t recall any widespread celebrating of [Kirk's] murder, it was more commentary pointing out the irony of his dismissive and flippant attitude towards gun control arguments...But please point me towards the widespread celebrations in mainstream media and/or by popular cultural figures."

"Progressive here. I've read the bible twice all through. In the jewish faith a newborn doesn't gain personhood until they take their first breath, so no, Jesus would not oppose abortion."

It’s so fascinating to me how Democrats claim white people don’t deserve representation in government. Apparently when White People have representation in government that’s considered white supremacy.
