National Review has been a never-Trump organ from the get-go, and yet they published this:
It seems that the focus on Trump's tweets and pronouncements have little to do with what he is actually doing. While the media is having a fit about what Trump just tweeted or about a fight he got into with someone Trump has been dismantling the bureaucracy, reshaping the courts, and boosting the economy.
Donald Trump's Accomplishments -- Thanksgiving | National Review
The day after Donald J. Trump defeated Hillary Clinton, Princeton University economist Paul Krugman called Trump’s victory “the mother of all adverse effects.” He predicted “very probably . . . a global recession, with no end in sight.” . . . The Dow Jones Industrial Average, NASDAQ, and S&P 500 all hit record highs on Tuesday. [The market is booming, US and global GDP is up.] So much for a Trump-inspired “global recession.”
Unemployment is at 4.1 percent, a 17-year low. New unemployment claims in September were at their most modest since 1974. Goldman Sachs on November 20 “lowered our unemployment rate forecast to 3.7 percent by end-2018 and 3.5 percent by end-2019.” According to the Wall Street powerhouse’s chief economist Jan Hatzius, “Such a scenario would take the U.S. labor market into territory almost never seen outside of a major wartime mobilization.” . . .
• For every new regulation that Trump has imposed, 16 have been erased.
• The FCC has begun to dismantle Obama’s “Net Neutrality” takeover of the Internet, which functioned marvelously, thank you, before his needless e-power-grab.
• Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch is on the bench, along with 13 constitutionalist lower-court judges. At this stage in Obama’s presidency, the Senate had confirmed just seven of his district- and circuit-court nominees.
...The Never Trump faction still claims that the president of the United States ‘is no conservative.’ And yet, with rare deviations (such as free trade), he spends nearly every day implementing the conservative agenda. Ideas that center-Right activists have demanded for decades are becoming public policy, one after another — to the pleasant surprise of even some of Donald J. Trump’s most enthusiastic supporters.
