When matching up the first year of Donald Trump’s second term with other presidencies, there really is no comparison.
Trump’s breakneck pace since returning to office does not draw clean parallels with any single former president, historians say, though certain actions have mirrored those of several predecessors, including Grover Cleveland, Franklin D. Roosevelt, William McKinley and Richard Nixon.
But there were still differences in those presidents’ moves in terms of how they carried them out, especially when it came to working with Congress.
