    It's clear he loves the title but doesn't like the job.

    Who gives a shit what the Economist thinks of Trump. The only opinion that counts is mine at the end of the day. Still waiting for someone to tell me what he has done wrong from a conservative view. So he is not your typical politician but that why I voted for him.

    Kiki Conservatism isnt a set of positions but is a set of principles that help establish and ground positions. Political principles include limited government as derived from the constitution. It respects the separation of powers executive, legislative and judicial as well as the powers granted the states in both the body (limiting federal power) and the 10th amendment. It respects the past but understands things change so adapts to them. It believes the constitution is there to protect individuals from the power of the state.
    In general conservatives have been supportive of broad immigration free trade. Experience has shown that an open and competitive free market (capitalism) is the best economic system and should be diligent in making sure it neither falls into cronyism or socialism.
    A conservative also demands equality under the law BUT NOT equality of outcome. Most of all a conservative respects the right of the individual to choose. Most of all a conservative because of his principles believes in the potential no the demand that each and every person better himself while recognizing that at times nearly everyone needs a hand up. Compassion!!!

    Trump doesn't come close to meeting that standard. He is a nativist at best he believe that government should run people's lives. He has NO respect for the constitution or the past. He perverts conservatism to narrow ends and exploits people's fear rather than lifting their hearts to do better. He has no heart or compassion. He respects no one or institution unless it serves his needs.

    Compare him to Reagan....you can't. He doesn't follow one of Reagan's socks much less his shoes.

    Not only is Trump not a conservative but he isn't close to being a good man. He derserves nothing but our contempt b

    Most of the so called accomplishments you list are meaningless is as much they don't exist. Many are not close to being conservative. In fact his use of executive order is anti conservative. The only certifiably conservative act you list is the appointment of Gorsuch.
