Yes, that is true. Trump has said a number of things and is seemingly sticking by statements that are contrary to the Republican Party Platform. But then again, Trump has at one time or another been on both sides of nearly every issue, so who knows what would happen if he were President.
My own suspicion, which others on both sides of the U.S. political spectrum have surmised -- is that Trump would pretty much leave the job and hard work of Presidentin' to the apparatus controlled by the upper echelon of insiders within the Republican party. The checks and balances, safeguards, built into the U.S. Government would be there to stop Trump from going off-script if he strayed too far from the party goals or agenda. There isn't a lot he could do by executive order alone without Congress' ultimate cooperation, as Obama knows all too well.
