The prosperity was temporary though and came at the expense of the future. The reforms that Reagan/Bush made led to short term benefits but in the long term completely decimated American industry. The silicon valley empires that do remain are American in name only.

There was no Reagan-Bush continuity. Reagan was a supply-sider, Bush was a "go to the Mall" demand-stoking neo-Keynesian.

Continuity in what? Japanese buying up american businesses and real estate? cheap foreign electronics being imported and wiping out manufacturing jobs in the midwest? The massive amnesty Reagan signed to bring in cheap labor ended the GOP's 40 year dominance of California.

The biggest failure of Trump's administration has been his appointment of people to his administration who openly oppose his own stated agenda. "Nominations" is the one area where Trump actually has some control, yet he appoints people to key positions who'll thwart his policies

There could be a tussle over H1B visas, but a political coalition against illegal immigration, chain-migration, lottery immigration, and suchlike indiscriminate demographic disaster engines should be low-hanging fruit.
