The most consistently conservative justices, Alito and Thomas, were selected by the younger and the older Bush, respectively. Both the Bushes and Reagan made both moderate/liberal and conservative choices for the Supreme Court, to balance the competing wings of the Republican Party. However, Trump's choices for the high court, while all considered conservative, have not been nearly as consistent as Alito and Thomas. I don't know if we can blame Trump, as the choices had to be vetted by Senate Republican leader McConnell and the Federalist Society, a member of Conservatism, Inc.
