Week after week, by executive order or administrative action, the Trump administration is implementing policies that please conservatives and improve the public weal.

This is not to say that all of Trump’s policy preferences are wise. It is not to excuse his sorry record for actually pushing good, lasting legislation into law. It is not to say that government-by-executive-order is a good practice, or even that it is in all respects a legitimate practice. It is, however, to give credit where due.
