Indeed. I think what he is proposing is more or less "public drafting" of legislation, where the proposed legislation doesn't come out of K-street.
Sundance, at CTH, pointed out long ago that Trump has a systematic problem, because unlike the uniparty (which has hoards of lawyers and lobbyists composing legislation for them), Trump came into power with no resource for creating statutory and regulatory language - and the existing resources who perform that function are hostile to Trump's agenda.
Which is why I have little hope (but am not giving up).
