It has largely slipped under the radar screens of partisan hatred in Washington, but has anyone noticed that in the last couple of months Donald Trump has become . . . a Democrat? Of course, for most of his life, Trump was a Democrat, a faithful fundraiser for Chuck Schumer and Hilary Clinton, and comfortably liberal in most of his positions. But once he decided to run for president as a Republican, he underwent a total transformation, becoming an arch-conservative. And during his first year in office, he governed like a conservative Republican, slashing taxes and regulations, appointing conservative judges, and throwing money at the military.
Since January, though, President Trump has been returning to his Democratic roots. In the past two months, he has embraced a big-spending budget deal that funds nearly all the Democrats’ top priorities and pushes deficits over $1 trillion for as far as the eye can see. He also proposed a massive new infrastructure program. And now, he has embraced a trade policy right out of the Bernie Sanders playbook.
In fact, during the 2016 campaign, Bernie had explicitly called for tariffs on steel. Hillary Clinton had also adopted a remarkably anti-trade posture. Many people are rightly pointing out that Trump’s rejection of the Trans-Pacific Partnership has left the United States dangerously isolated and economically disadvantaged in Asia, but they forget that Hillary too had campaigned on pulling out of the trade pact.

Naaah. It’s just the neverTrumpers at NRO going back to their Trump hating roots.
More caca from you.
You mean the two parties that have almost destroyed our country will be forever changed by President Trump?
National Review is a propaganda rag run by trotskyites championing scumbag politicians in the uniparty and k-street whores...Globalists. Globalists being a euphemism for traitors.
Same here. Not a huge fan of this, BUT I understand it.
just like your very good friends at NRO:
Trump is an independent thinker. He is also more of a classical liberal, like I am.
Once upon a time, I was a democrat who campaigned for democrats until the republican party became the democrat party, and the democrat party became communists.
Actually, worse than communists. They are some amalgam of Pol Pot, Red Guard, and Bolshevism.
With none of the charm. /s
I think his Democrat daughter’s influence has shown in some bad tax policy, but he’s doing the right thing in going for reciprocal, bilateral trade deals.
What I don’t like is this idea that he be grilled by Mueller’s team in person. A limited number of agreed-to written questions is what is in order:
President Trump has done more to help the Middle Class than any politician in my lifetime. Including Reagan.
Also note that Trump's tariff policy is far closer to that of the traditional Republican Party than it is to that of the Democrats. Is the writer simply dishonest, or just stupid.
I think your being lied to. Preserving the ACA, raising taxes, increasing the size of government and the budget, giving illegals tax cuts. These aren’t helping the middle class.
If only your canadian crusader count copulot won the Republican nomination, we’d be ‘enjoying’ the rule of Hillary Rotten Clinton right now and America would be truly finished.
Meanwhile, how weird is this? The spokesperson for the RNC just wrote this embarrassing puff piece in support of the president’s liberal Democrat son-in-law at cnn.com:

Anyone that uses “arch-conservative” is a liberal puke.
National Review just slightly better than CNN, MSNBC and DNC.
No. That’s just silly.
Trump knows a bad deal when he sees one. Our trade deals suck.
Also, he promised to do this on the campaign trail. Shock, apparently keeping a campaign promise is becoming a Democrat? LOL. What foolishness.
This also might wake up some of the union vote. Betcha I can guess which party most steel workers are going to vote for in 2018...
Perfectly said...
I respectfully disagree. This is not “moderation.” This is keeping a campaign promise.
NR is a disgrace. They have redone their rag website so that no one can comment unless you are a subscriber. THAT pretty much assures they will receive no negative comments. Low Life Rich Lowry is a dirtbag of unimaginable proportions. So it is no surprise all they print is Never Trump garbage.
