Trump unlike predecessors didn’t just pretend to try and then give up and say oh well and then cave to a bunch of moderate and left wing demands. He really impressed me particularly on how he creatively managed to get money to fund the wall even as his own party leadership (Paul Ryan) conspired to stop him. Any other President would have given up. He has been one of the most creative and diligent out of the box thinking Presidents.
Trump is all about fixing issues rather than collecting them for future use,
