National Review online, perhaps. Not sure.
But somebody commented that the most frustrating thing (to the other side) about Trump's scurry of activity/EO's is that they are generally pretty popular, individually, with the American folk. He's sort of an uncontrolled (it may seem) train hurdling down the tracks, but he gets exactly to where he waid he was going.
Immigration reform? Pretty popular.
Vetting of immigrants/refugees from ISIS"linked" areas? Pretty popular.
Federal funds for abortion? Not very popular.
TPP? Not very popular.
Reducing regulation? Pretty popular.
Keystone Pipeline? Pretty popular.
Edit: Forgot Sanctuary Cities, didn't I? Not very darn popular, even in California.
Etc.
None of that means, of course, that protesters won't march and chant, but they do so essentially after they've lost the shortterm fight. I don't see any of those areas where the Court will ultimately step in and block such action.
Trump has beat them and the Democratic Caucus.
And he did it in about 240 hours. It is driving some folks nuts.
To tell you the truth, which is fair that I do, I think I can only really differ with Trump on one of the issues above. I wrote in Paul Ryan, btw.
Polls seem to show that people generally don't "like" Trump (approval ratings are below the waterline, generally) but they like his policies.
People eventually "liked" Obama, while still not liking his policies.
I find Trump a bit less "authoritarian" than Obama. Obama's message was often "Take this, it's for your own good!" His Citizen of the Workd schpiel eventually played poorly here, too. IMHO, Obama lived in a presidential world where all problems are complicated and the critical element is how a president presents the problem-solution to the American people, who need his "explaining." Trump sees problems and solutions as relatively simple. He's a man used to making decisions quickly, often on the fly. The last ten days shouldn't surprise anyone.
As a history teacher, I find Obama most like Woodrow Wilson, of 20th Century presidents. An egghead, one who was sure he and his ilk knew better. I am not being critical, just pointing out what I think was his presidential approach. He had that Wilsonian detachment with people, as well. With a bit of time and massaging, he felt he could convince you as to his righteousness. He was a crusader, but a cerebral one.
Trump reminds me at times of Teddy Roosevelt, at times of Franklin Roosevelt (his impatience) and at others of Harry Truman. I especially like the Teddy/Truman comparison, but there are some FDR similarities, too. All three of them really liked people and we're "men of the little guy." Teddy and FDR even pulled that off despite the silver spoon they were born with. I think they all brought a rousing/charging style to the presidency, one that the common man appreciated. They could be obstinate, but they liked people, too. Like Obama, Trump is also a crusader, but one following a different battle cry.
"Deus Vult?" Obama sees god in the details. Trumps finds god in action.
Obama could have a laser focus on minutiae, Trump's is on getting to a quick winning deal.
I make no effort to predict Trump's eventually Presidential ranking. I don't know if he gets much done way down the line, as he may wear everybody out, GOP Capitol Hillsters, as well. But I will give him this: He does what he said he would do. There should have been no surprises so far.
And I long ago came around to the idea that he is likely better for the nation than Ms. Clinton would have been. That said, Margo Channing was ahead of her day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKHUGvde7KU
Of course, your mileage may vary.
