I'm not sure Trump does say what he means. He rants incoherently one day and then delivers an incompatible, equally incoherent rant the next after being influenced by one person or another.
It'd be more accurate to say that a "say what you mean" style of politics is borrowed from e.g. Tony Benn.

"This is the new spirit of politics - say what you mean - and it's borrowed from Trump."

The UK Government’s recognition of Palestine is a welcome step, and one that is long overdue.
But words alone will not stop the genocide in Gaza.
Sanctions, an end to arms sales, a ban on goods from settlements, and the suspension of the UK–Israel trade deal must follow.

Throwing a brick through the window of a hotel housing asylum seekers in Falkirk is absolutely despicable.
People who fled war and persecution deserve to live in safety, not fear.

They promised lower bills, but today’s hike means bills are £187 higher since they took office.
