This Trumpism is basically European 'Far Right' politics.

Trump is a poor proponent of it because he is so unreliable in his views.  He has essentially taken every side of every issue.  Even his vaunted wall along the Mexican border he says is 'negotiable.'  He isn't even against free-trade agreements, just those that he hasn't personally negotiated.

Far-right European politics already has a party in the United States: The Constitution Party, it's just that very few people know about that party and, at present, it's dominated by religious types.

Where far-right European politics goes in the United States will obviously depend to some degree how the legitimate aspects of their grievances (increasing wealth inequality, to some degree un-guarded borders and foreign guest worker programs) are dealt with.  

As I don't really see how the question of whether the U.S should remain an 'old stock' nation or a multicultural nation can end  without one side winning and the other side losing, those who are part of the 'far right'  for that reason will not go away, but will likely slowly die off.
