Predictably, President Trump’s presidency has begun with division. The Left is furious with Trump’s rollbacks of President Obama’s policies. The media are furious with Trump’s half-truths and untruths (and the rollback of Obama’s policies). Conservatives are elated to be back in power, but concerned that Trump isn’t really a conservative.

Whatever their particular quality, to some degree, these tensions are intractable. Trump is unlikely to change, and those who oppose him are unlikely to stop doing so.
