I would say:

Trump: Didn't change ideologically, but his greatest policy impact came from traditional Republican issues rather than the culture war issues he had emphasized
Obama: Pretty much governed as how he campaigned
Bush 2: Moved to the right after campaigning as a centrist in 2000
Clinton: Moved to the left after campaigning as a centrist in 1992, but then moved to the center after 1994
Bush: Probably the classic case of someone moving to the center after their campaign
Reagan: Pretty much governed as how he campaigned
