As the 2017 year winds to a close, President Trump’s accomplishments — including slashing regulations, filling the courts with conservative judges, green-lighting the Keystone XL pipeline and signing a major tax reform package — have some of his fiercest conservative critics praising his victories.
In January 2016, conservative magazine National Review devoted an entire issue to conservatives arguing against Trump’s candidacy. Among Trump supporters, the magazine became synonymous with the Never Trump movement that opposed the real estate mogul’s candidacy through the general election.
In a column this week titled, “Give Trump Credit Where It’s Due,” National Review editor Rich Lowry conceded that Trump has defied expectations as president. (RELATED: Trump Sets Judicial Confirmation Record In First Year)
“It’s hard to see how a conventional Republican president would have done much better, except if he had managed to get Obamacare repealed, which was always going to be a dicey proposition given the narrow Republican majority in the Senate,” Lowry wrote.
