I hope you are right.
He is, except for one crucial point. The President cannot spend money that Congress doesn't authorize and appropriate. The Veto power doesn't help much at all in that regard. Appropriations bills must start in the House, which is more solidly 'Rat than the Senate (unless you count the RINOs as you must).
If they cut funding for the war on Islamofacism, there's little the President can do. Gerald Ford, may he rest in peace, faced exactly that situation in 1975 when Congress cut off funding for the war in Vietnam, which by that point was nearly all South Vietnamese forces fighting North Vietnamese forces. The ARVN, and the SVAF ran out of ammunition and other supplies, and were denied the US air support they'd been promised.
