He's a libertarian, not a republican. I don't think they support trickle-down policies per se.
Pure libertarians do not support the existence of a body with the kind of authority required to implement that sort of economic bullshittery.
It's important to remember that the horrid thing that Americans generally know as libertarianism was simply the right wing of their political system co-opting the NAME alone in the mid 20th century. It's not at all representative of actual libertarianism from any stream.
