Neoliberalism is entirely unrelated to neoconservatism. The "liberal" part refers entirely to free-market economics. The two philosophies are similar only in name. It is possible to be both a neoliberal and a neoconservative. For example, every Republican president from the 1980s up to Trump was a neoliberal. This includes Bush who you mention as a counterexample. Trump was the first anti-neoliberal president we have had in decades as he, unlike his predecessors, promoted tariffs.
