Falun Gong is a syncretic school/practice/religion. It’s based on buddhism and daoism but also incorporated some confucianism.

Their worldview is rather conservative (as is the chinese population too). Extremism (as well as violence) shall be prevented. There are some weird ideas though like mixed ethnic marriages shall be prevented, homosexuality is not ok (even if not forbidden),

and sex only shall be „executed“ without pleasure, just to make children.

So it’s comparable to more strict christian groups.

Not sure about their relation with trump stuff. But yes, since their are oppressed by china (which can hardly be defined as communist today), they could with their conservative mind set well collaborate with right wingers.
