Trump vs. Obama: Let’s Compare Results | National Review
"We’ve gone from hard left, under Obama, to hard right, under Trump. Judge the ideologies by their results.
Most new administrations do not really completely overturn their predecessors’ policies to enact often-promised ideologically driven change.
...In sum, there have rarely been back-to-back complete reversals in presidential agendas.
From Hard Progressive to Hard Conservative Ideology Whatever Donald J. Trump’s political past and vociferous present, his first year of governance is most certainly as hard conservative as Barack Obama’s eight years were hard progressive.
We are watching a rare experiment in political governance play out, as we go, in back-to-back fashion, from one pole to its opposite.
...We shall see if the subsequent Antidote Two, of unregretful conservatism under Trump, will provide what conservatism has always promised: greater prosperity, security, and unity.
We have been given a great gift in seeing two ideologically opposed solutions back to back, and both may end up adjudicating rhetoric through deeds.
