Firstly, the New Right is based off the Nouvelle Droite from Europe, an ethnic nationalist reaction against demographic changes in the west.

There is no connection between "Kosher Conservatives", i.e Republicans, evangelical christians, British Conservative Party, libertarians with this. It grew in Europe in the 90's and 00's as an existential crisis about migration, ageing populations, removal of traditional architecture, Americanization, and populist dislike of conservatives and liberals. It spread to the US in the late 00's online

Trumpists only partially overlap. Most Trumpists are Republicans, who cannot be "New Right'. Early on a lot of New Rightists supported Trump out of hate of Republicans and his few decent ideas, such as saying the Iraq war was bad and comments against globalism (alt-right is anti-war and doesn't support the US military)

Most Rightists have given up on him even before the election. He came out in support of globalism, supports mega-capitalism, supports pollution, has a Judeo-Christian zealot as VP, gone on neocon forades in Syria (All new-righters support Assad). The alt/new right is against military intervention, nation building, excess consumerism, obesity, fossil fuels (American-style) Judeo-Christianity, Americanization of culture, neoliberalism, neoconservatism, and of course cultural left-wing stuff.

The alt-right wants a world in which Europe is inhabited by whites practicing native traditional culture, higher birth rates, the USA is isolationist (and possibly split up) and doesn't spread pop-culture, green energy, third position economics (no excessive capitalism or socialism), rebuilding traditional architecture, education and academia are pro-Western
