Can you imagine how much more successful our foreign policy and trade deals would be going if our freaking govt could show a united front to our allies and our enemies alike.
Trump is the Executive, and he has been doing it himself.
He will build the Wall, he has the funds within DOD. He is funded to the hilt through 2020. He has stated he can and he may use DOD funds to construct the Wall. As of now, he is consolidating power and rebuilding the federal judiciary, the DOJ, the FBI, and all other 3-letter agencies necessary to execute and enforce as he is sworn to do.
The makeup of the GOP is now going to be the Party of Trump. Those that ‘resisted’ and backstabbed have been driven from office. The cleanup cost the House but the House now doesn’t matter for the next two years. Trump has a Senate that is with him. Senators that speak out of both sides of their mouth are gone and the ones that remain are going to fall in with the Trump Movement or else. McConnell has redeemed himself. Crus has gone full Trump.
This pattern of history matches that of the first two years of Reagan’s first term. The GOP Establishment couldn’t stand him and wanted him gone. By the 3rd and 4th years of his 1st term, he had them dancing to his tune and he won by the largest landslide in history in 1984.
IMO Trump will be even greater.
