I doubt that Trump would have patience with the filibuster.

Trump would have nothing to say about the filibuster. The Constitution gives each house of Congress the right to make the rules to operate their house. Nothing Trump can do about it.

There is plenty a President can do to exert pressure on Senators - appointments, funding, investigations, regulatory changes, etc. This a matter of practice, not formal legality.
