New York Times opinion columnist Jamel Booy advocated president on Wednesday Donald Trump He is far more “normie Republican” than both his supporters and critics might lead him to believe.
Bouie’s Opinion Pieceentitled “Face It. Trump is a Normal Republican,” claiming that Trump governed as a “almost Orthodox Republican” during his second term, comparing his first term to a hypothetical third President George W. Bush.
“The most underrated fact about President Trump is that he is a Republican,” Booy said, noting that “almost every commentator under the sun” thinks Trump is unique “in a way that goes against traditional classification.”

The columnist pushes back the notion that Trump cannot be considered a typical Republican due to his uniqueness, claiming that the “most prominent details” about the current president are “a Republican politician who is committed to the success of Republicans and the success of its ideological vision.”
“We saw this in his first term with his signature legislative achievements, the Tax Cuts and Employment Act of 2017. He asked, “No, it was a massive high-income tax cut designed to pay great benefits to the wealthiest Americans, including the president, his family and their friends.”
Booey went on to summarise what Trump did during his first term, summarizing it as “Trump ruled like a Republican.”
“And it’s not stretch to say that much of his first term on domestic flights was largely indistinguishable from the hypothetical third term of the previous Republican president. George W. Bush. Trump ended his term, as Bush did, and each one got worse when he was exacerbated by his inappropriate mismanagement,” he added.

The columnist argued that Trump’s “what a Republican president does” is covered by the president with “populist rhetoric.”
As far as Trump’s foreign policy is concerned, Booy argued that the recent president’s recent strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities was reminiscent of the foreign policy of two former Republicans.
“One decision has made Trump realize the dream of a generation of Republican Hawks who have been seeking war with Iran since President Bush declared in 2002 as a member of the “axis of evil.” John McCains “The Bomb Iran” is suppose in 2007 that it appointed Iranian antagonist Mike Pompeo to Trump as Secretary of State in 2018 as airstrikes last month,” he argued.
The columnist concluded that some of the “worst” aspects of the Trump administration can choke the “specific authoritarian visions” of the president and his allies, but for the most part this is “what happens when you elect a Republican to the White House.”
