Think Tanks
Conservative think tanks and other policy-focused nonprofits have long been a fixture in Washington's political scene. They help shape discourse and craft policy agendas. The Trump White House has adopted many of their proposals, with a January 2018 analysis by the Heritage Foundation finding that the administration has enacted nearly two-thirds of its policy recommendations so far.
