Politician in obvious statement of right wing politics (8)

I believe the answer is:

trumpism

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'right wing politics' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'politician in obvious statement' is the wordplay.
'politician' becomes 'MP' (Member of Parliament).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'obvious statement' becomes 'truism' (a truism is an obviously true statement).
'mp' placed inside 'truism' is 'TRUMPISM'.

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
