Sounds more like an indictment of the do nothing GOP congress.
Exactly. Trump does not legislate, the Congress does.
If the Republican Congress cannot get up off their collective duffs and get out of their own way, then any legislative program is necessarily stalled.
Like a skilled pool player, Trump does not go after the straight-in shot, but sets up a combination, using a bank shot that in the rebound, catches two (sometimes more) balls, knocking one in the side pocket, and the second in the corner pocket, leaving the cue ball set up to carry out yet another bank shot. In an unusual use of the cue, the cue ball may be made to jump over the “wrong” ball, to come down and set in motion the desired shot. I could never do it, but I have seen it done.
This is essentially what Trump is doing, going over the heads of the legislative branch, and getting the constituents to support him, and they in turn go back to their representatives and pressure them into doing the “right thing”.
