Not exactly.

Congress can block him using Constitutional methods. They chose not to do this with Obama. They will choose to do so with Trump. The fact that they are complete hypocrites who didn’t exercise this power with Obama will never be mentioned except by Fox News, Hannity, Levin, Rush, here on FR etc...

The mainstream media will spend all day, every day, running Chuck Schumer, Colin Powell, and all the other big government types in front of the cameras talking about how Trump can’t do X and how Congress will stop him.

Mark my words - they will do EVERYTHING in their power to prevent him from succeeding on ANYTHING.

Here's the beauty of Trump Presidency. The laws he needs are already on the books! All he has to do is enforce existing immigration laws. The wall has already been procured but not built. We will build the wall in accordance with the original legislation. He can repeal all executive orders and make some of his own!

He doesn't need congresses help.

I don’t think so. Not if he takes charge.The Constitution is not relevant now. To get back to the Constitution will require extraconstitutional methods. The COngress and the Republican and Democrat parties have erected a dictatorship. You can’t go back to the Republic as it is supposed to be using the Constitution properly Almost everything about our present government is UNconstitutional to start with. It requires a very forceful and capable dictator to, for instance, abolish all the Departments and Agencies which must happen if we are to regain the Republic. By Constitutional means the Congress, no matter how populated, will fight to retain the Bureaucratic totalitarian system which has grown up. Without the co-operation of Democrats and their subsidiary- the Republicans, the Republic cannot be regained. They will not co-operate. Not five members remain uncorrupted. All the new blood that might come into Congress in the election will not produce any more principled Constitutionalists.
The Executive Branch is a de facto Dictatorship and has been developing in that direction for a long time, accelerating dramatically with GWB and with the curve rising faster under OBama.
