How was he an ideologue? What ideology was he promoting "dogmatically"?
He would have never gotten ACA passed if that were so.
I think we are using the term in differing ways...
Obama had personal beliefs and convictions about issues that he pursued. As such, Obama is a political "Idealogue" with an analytical foundation.
Trump is simply an opportunist with little in the way of convictions. As such, Trump is simply a political "Hack". He has no solid foundation and is thus subject to political "whims" and irrational and emotional decisions.
