You are not far from understanding the ambition of the hard Brexiteers. The key changes under Trump have been deregulatory particularly around environmental restrictions and fiscal policy. Banking reforms aimed at stopping a repeat of the financial crash have been eased or removed and taxes for corporations and the wealthy are in the process of being slashed.

Johnson/Fox/Rees-Mogg/Jenkin/IDS/Redwood//Gove (though he has gone a bit native since taking over Defra) all see the great prize of Brexit as having the freedom to slash regulation and create a Singapore on Thames. Agreements with the EU that require regulatory alignment or equivalence are abhorrent to them as is any idea that there would be some European Court being an arbiter of disputes.

The Brexit vote winning elements that brought a swathe of working-class votes on board (immigration, NHS) figure far lower in their priorities and in the case of the NHS would be a deregulatory target further down the line. If you look at the political history of the people mentioned there is nothing in their philosophy that suggests any great care for the less affluent in society so this element of the Brexit campaign was always a cynical trojan horse.

The dangerous bit is when those people, many of whom were expressing a democratic opinion for the first time, find out that they have been duped and that the brave new world is not being created for their benefit.
