Then what is the excuse with Republicans in charge with an opposite party President?
The answer is that both situations have the same thing in common: weak Republicans, whether it was "compassionate" Bush who wouldn't defend himself, or Congressional Republicans who won't fight.
When Trump says "I identify with some things as a Democrat," he's saying he didn't support the way the Republicans were handling the crises of the time. He must still feel that way today, because he's running for President so he can decide how to tackle the nation's problems, not McConnell and Boehner. But he's running as a Republican, which to me means that Trump is rejecting the Democrat brand.

I guess it was lost on him that the DEMOCRATS were completely in charge then???

When Trump says "I identify with some things as a Democrat," he's saying he didn't support the way the Republicans were handling the crises of the time. It doesn't necessarily mean he would have supported the Democrat alternative instead, just that he would not have done what the Republicans did.
