In fairness to Bret Stephens, he was a NeverTrumper when he wrote for the Wall Street Journal. They're not huge Donald Trump fans there, but they give him credit when he successfully implements a good policy, and they don't pretend that none of it is worth anything because Trump is Trump. Stephens was an outlier at the Journal in the sense that he was a doctrinaire anti-Trump guy, one of those "conservatives" who preferred Hillary because he thought Trump was unfit for office regardless of what he might do on the policy front.
Last year Stephens jumped from the Journal to the New York Times, and when the Times takes on a token conservative, he is usually either assimilated (David Brooks) or fired quickly (Bill Kristol). Ross Douthat has been the rare survivor who actually takes the conservative side more often than not, but even he has to tamp it down quite a bit to be digestable to the Times's delicate readership.
