Abstract
This chapter takes up issue of Trump’s presidential style and demeanor and examines his two presidencies. One is the bombastic tabloid presidency whose latest provocations and opposition responses play out across American political venues. The other is the deeply serious administration efforts to put into place Trump’s signature presidential ambitions. The chapter examines why Trump survives his ferocious opposition in spite of his own missteps. It examines several metrics of presidential “success” and begins to assess Trump’s slow but gathering momentum towards his Restoration goals. We then ask if he will remain stuck in “political time” as a “Disjunctive” president or have a chance to become a “Reconstructive” one.
