Trump has no respect for or clarity about Constitutionally enumerated and separated powers. Even if he was going to do what he promises (which I doubt), the exercise as promised would set terrible precedents should another leftist ever occupy the oval office.
This is where the deal making aspect becomes important. If conservatives, finding Trump on the ascendancy with the American public, just dig in their heels and frown, the Trump tendency will go one way. If, like Jeff Sessions, they endeavor to make hay while the sun shines, the Trump tendency will go another way.
It may be a matter of a choice that God puts on the table and naysaying will be in vain — it’s work with what open door you have or else you get your self fulfilled doom prophecy.
“Trump has no respect for or clarity about Constitutionally enumerated and separated powers. Even if he was going to do what he promises (which I doubt), the exercise as promised would set terrible precedents should another leftist ever occupy the oval office.”
The precedents have already been set, so you really have no point.
And how do you ‘know’ Trump has no knowledge of how our government was set up? You’re just guessing on that
Trump has no respect for or clarity about Constitutionally enumerated and separated powers.

Back up your ridiculous claim. Furnish direct quotes that show Trump’s ignorance of the Constitution which you claim as fact! i don’t believe you and i wouldn’t trust the National Review past my front door. Just another attempt to smash Trump by the Establishment.
That's because they are largely anachronistic in terms of realpolitik (remember Pelosi's gagging fit when asked where Congress got the power to require health insurance. did it cost her the speakership). If we are to be ruled by power politics, I'd prefer it be by someone who largely agrees with my views.
I prefer Ted Cruz, but I am also convinced he does not have the skill set to defeat opponents with the political capital to change the rules when they're losing.
The wall that Trump wants to build is already law, it was passed by congress and signed into law in the 1980’s by Ronald Reagan. Nobody built it yet, Trump does not need to get approval, he already has it.
As for anything else in congress, well look at it this way, Trump is going to have to make an example out of some that up for re-election in 2018, kick the obstructionists to the curb and elect in people who want to make America great again. Once Trump stumps for people who share his vision and they win in 2018, everyone else will fall in line. The rest will be afraid of getting fired by the voters.
The first two years, Trump can build the wall, fight ISIS (congress is not going to stop him destroying ISIS), and tighten up illegal immigration, he can do that with just following existing laws. That is a lot to do in the first two years, if he needs help in 2018 to get more like minded people in congress, he can do that as well.
