Trump is commonsensically undoing, piece by piece, the main components of Obama’s legacy.

Fantastic article! Thanks for sharing. Its too bad there are so many trolls in the comments section. Some of those comments would make me think I was on HuffPo, WaPo, or the NYTs rather than NR. What is wrong with some of those people?

I never go to the comments section of any article, right or left. Too many unhinged people. :-)

Yup. Outstanding.

This........
Yet one way of understanding Trump — particularly the momentum of his first year — is through recollection of the last eight years of the Obama administration. In reductionist terms, Trump is the un-Obama. Surprisingly, that is saying quite a lot more than simple reductive negativism. Republicans have not seriously attempted to roll back the administrative state since Reagan. On key issues of climate change, entitlements, illegal immigration, government spending, and globalization, it was sometimes hard to distinguish a Bush initiative from a Clinton policy or a McCain bill from a Biden proposal. There was often a reluctant acceptance of the seemingly inevitable march to the European-style socialist administrative state.
