| Summary/Abstract |
US progressivism is half espoused, half rejected, by an ambivalent if talented President. The Republican image of the President as 'socialist' is one which the social democratic Democrats wish were true. The President's readiness to compromise has not tempered the extreme hostility of the Republicans. It has been exploited by the political agents of business and finance. It has used by the permanent war party: the campaign against 'terror' enables it to retain mastery of foreign and military policy. The New Deal's heirs, seeking more social democracy and less militarism, are bereft of new forms of political action. US democracy is threatened by an eruption of cultural and religious fundamentalism, racism, and xenophobia, as well as a compulsive refusal of social solidarity. Withal, the situation is open as well as complex, and the President in the long run may be much more successful than his angry detractors and disappointed supporters allow.

| Summary/Abstract |
How different was President Trump from previous presidents? This study first analyzes the routine activity of the president including signing legislation into law, veto action, presidential signing statements, and executive orders. The analysis shows that the activity by President Trump was not significantly different from his predecessor, President Obama. This study then turns to analysis of atypical behavior of President Trump and reveals that he deviated from the norms and practices of previous presidents. In particular, President Trump’s refusal to release his tax returns, use of the White House for the election, the appointment of “acting” cabinet members, the abuse of the power of amnesty, and the January 6, 2021 uprising at the U.S. Congress are discussed. At the conclusion of this article, the impact of Trump’s presidency will be examined.
