PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP WASN’T ELECTED TO JUST BE
CONVENTIONAL
The Donald Trump White House is
more than capable of doing conventional things well. Last week’s State of the
Union saw a complex policy process synthesized into a well-delivered prime-time
address that captured the president’s unique policy agenda and won high praise.
But if conventional management styles alone could make or break a presidency,
historians would be praising Jimmy Carter and vilifying Ronald Reagan. And
Donald Trump wasn’t elected to just be conventional. In fact, he promised to be
a disruptive, often unpredictable, force who would take a two-by-four to the
status quo. And on that he has delivered.
Where
other presidents have balked at moving the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem, this
president understood the value of keeping his word. Where other presidents have
shied away from third-rail issues like criminal justice reform, this president
parlayed a diverse coalition into a bipartisan victory that eluded President
Barack Obama.
OUR VIEW:
Don't ignore Trump's 'best people' who now tell all
