“I think he opened the door for a new kind of conservatism but has not fulfilled it,” Brooks told CNN’s Fareed Zakaria in an interview that aired on Sunday.

The conservative thinker went on to say Trump has moved the debate from big government versus small government to globalization versus ant-globalization.

“It’s open-closed. It’s between those who feel the headwinds of globalization blasting in their faces, they want closed border, closed trade, security. And those who feel it is pushing at their backs and they want open trade, open opportunity and open social borders,” he said.

Brooks went on to say Trump has not helped the voters who elected him because he has staffed his administration with people who believe in former President Ronald Reagan’s philosophy on government and economics.

“What’s central to his administration is that he hasn’t delivered on that. That’s because there are not a lot of Trumpians in the world of policy,” said the outspoken Trump critic.

Brooks's remarks come after he wrote a column criticizing Washington’s political class for creating too much hype around the federal probe into alleged ties between the Trump campaign and Russian election meddling.

“As the Trump-Russia story has evolved, it is striking how little evidence there is that any underlying crime occurred — that there was any actual collusion between the Donald Trump campaign and the Russians. Everything seems to be leaking out of this administration, but so far the leaks about actual collusion are meager,” he wrote.
