Donald Trump promises tax cuts, a rollback of regulations, and a repeal of Obamacare—music to the ears of most Republicans. But, in an address to Congress this month, the President also said, “Everything that is broken in our country can be fixed. Every problem can be solved.” That statement is almost heresy for an establishment conservative like Stephen Hayes, the editor of The Weekly Standard. Like his predecessor, the influential neoconservative Bill Kristol, Hayes was firmly in the “Never Trump” camp before the election. He remains leery of the President’s comfort with big government and is appalled by the Administration’s “casual dishonesty.” Hayes wants conservatives to call out the President’s lies and “un-American” attacks on the media. But he thinks that progressives do the Administration a favor when they react with outrage “every time Kellyanne Conway puts her feet on the couch.”
