Do Trumppers even know what a marxist is?

I have read several Marx scholars say that about him.

Karl Marx thought liberals were collaborators with capitalists in that they were giving false hope to the proletariat by promises of incremental reforms and incremental improvements in labor conditions, while still maintaining the overall edifice of a capitalist-consumer society.

Marx thought this was collaborationist and deceptive, because it would take fuel away from the fire of a true revolution of the proletariat.
The writings of Karl Marx are the ONLY authoritative reference on the writings of Karl Marx, Sybil. False authority fallacy.
 
Marx is well known to have been a critic of European social democratic liberalism.
There are no democracies in Europe, Sybil. There weren't during Marx's time either.
He considered European liberals to be collaborationists with capitalism. It's not something I have to prove. It's something most Marx scholars would agree on.
Irrelevance fallacy. Someone's opinion of Karl Marx's writings is completely irrelevant to Karl Marx's writings.
