When President Ronald Reagan was in office, the Heritage Foundation promoted a vigorous foreign policy that featured a strong commitment to fighting communism.

It turned kinder and gentler during the terms of the Bushes – backing the President's Emergency Plan for AIDs Relief,, trade deals, public diplomacy and other methods to integrate the US into the world and influence other countries from within.

Now, it is doing the same with Trump – explaining Trumpism as no other policy organization has. But some on the right who have issues with President Trump or with Heritage are attacking his policies as inconsistent with conservative ideals. Which sounds more like revenge for some past slight rather than an honest policy debate.

Trump has fulfilled more policy goals in the last year than all three Bush administrations combined over 12 years.

Trump has lopped off the Department of Education and wide swaths of the departments of Energy, State, Commerce, Interior, Labor and Housing and Urban Development. He’s returned the EPA to its core function – assuring clean air and water. He has wiped out USAID, NPR/PBS, and other agencies, and used DOGE to identify waste and fraud throughout government on scales never before seen. Nothing there that every Reaganite can’t........
