No this is just Populism from a Centrist party.

Winston has been in Parliament for 50 years and is adept at polling his constituency to see what would be popular with them.

He is borrowing Trump buzzwords and adding them to his arsenal, but his party sits in the middle of the NZ political spectrum between the two biggest parties. That's why he has so much power, sometimes neither side can govern without him.
