So... who wrote the NYT op-ed?

"Pushing agendas" is what presidents are elected to do, what they are supposed to do.

The fact that both Trump and Obama push agendas doesn't make their agendas or the manner of pushing equivalent.

And "delivery" is not so strictly separable from content. Trump contradicts himself and his own cabinet, often lying and distorting or flipping statistics/information along the way. (Remember his claim that McCain got out of the Hanoi Hilton through his father's connections.) He calls the free press "enemies of the people" and refuses serious interviews and refuses serious questions. 

You cannot maintain this this does not affect the content of policy--just like Obama only less polite.  This "delivery" is authoritarian, autocratic, symptomatic of Trump's inability to understand the requirements of governance. It is a concern in itself.
