^ To judge from this wiki quote below, I'm using words like "communist country" in a way that is generally accepted in the West. You are using the word "socialist" the way the countries in question prefer to describe themselves, right?
On Trump policies: my impression is that many people in the Trump camp mistook slogans for policies and are now rather alarmed by the distance they have to cover to convert the former to the latter.
For example: "Build a Wall. The Mexicans will pay" is a hollow, unsupported slogan of tweetable length, the kind of statement Trump is best at. I don't think it deserves the name "policy" unless he can detail out precisely how it's going to be achieved.
