Decades ago, President Eisenhower defeated the isolationist faction of the Republican Party. Now Trump is toppling his legacy, Miller Center scholar William Hitchcock writes in Politico.
Justice Anthony Kennedy has always been known for his dramatic flair despite his rather mild professorial, even owlish, persona. He enjoys dressing up as James Madison to present lectures on the Constitution. He once excused himself from a conversation at the court to ponder a difficult vote. "I must brood," he allowed.
For the Trump administration, the centerpiece of its economic record is strong jobs numbers, with the unemployment rate now at the lowest level since 2000.
Ike believed in containing the influence of the military, not generating uncritical cheering for its power, writes Miller Center scholar William Hitchcock in USA Today.
