In this case, Trump is the "worst person you know," but he's doing something that a lot of people across the left [¹] and right [²] political spectrums have wanted to do for years by repealing (edit: suspending) the Jones Act.
[¹] Free trade dems, Clintonite think tankers, third-way corporatists, the self-styled "neoliberal" dems, abundance dems, etc. Not all dems support doing away with it because in theory that hurts the maritime unions.
[²] Much broader support on the right because it maps onto the free market and anti-regulation ideologies.
Not repealed.
But yes.

These are all very much part of the democrat coalition, i.e. the "left" on the US political spectrum. It's not the entire democrat coalition, but they are a large part of it. I'd call them centrist for sure, but certainly not right wing.
I would argue that when discussing politics on a global network on a site with global reach that there's no need to talk in terms of the range of each country's parties. On a global scale, the US has one major party that's center-right overall with a few left-wing members and another major party that's far-right with a majority of its membership being at least OK with if not actively pursuing fascism. We have "left compared to wannabe nazis" but not "left"
Our widespread use of the defective first-past-the-post election system prevents any significant inroads from being made by any alternatives regardless of how much many of us would like it, and the two major parties are actively trying to prevent the use of alternatives.
