I've never heard any Republican say that Trump didn't 100% implement Republican policies. That is despite Trump not even knowing what Republicans stand for.
Republicans really like tax cuts. Trump signed them (and likely put in a plug to make sure the inheritance tax got removed).
That's probably about it for accomplishments. The rest were random policies thought up by Stephen Miller, something Trump saw on FOX, or something that stoked Trump's ego (like having love-ins with dictators).
Donald Trump implemented quite a number of policies which were, prior to him, anathema to Republicans.
Whether Republicans admit it or not is irrelevant.
Trump started a trade-war, over tariffs. Many "free-trader" Republicans were apalled and in fact said so at the time.
Trump's tax bill (which will no doubt be amended in the year or two to come) has such a huge deficit in the out-years, it also was against every "fiscally conservative"
Republican's position ever.
