One of the big things in Trump's favor is the ability to surround himself with the right people to get his agenda done. And if they don't, well they're fired.
A problem I foresee Trump having is unless he gets 60 votes in the Senate and retains the House, he will have a hard time getting his agenda done. And he can't march up PA. Avenue and fire Nancy Pelosi or Sherrod Brown because they got in his way. He might stand a better chance with Brown in an upcoming election since Brown must be elected statewide, but Brown won overall pretty easily his last rodeo. But Pelosi has her seat as long as she want it. And Pelosi and Brown are just examples of the poster children he will have to contend with in legislative branch.
As for world affairs, he will also face a challenge as he won't always be able to sue or buyout the Countries that give us heartburn. Sure, he can bomb Iran or some other sand forsaken country. But he will have to use other tactics with Russia and China. He won't be able to bully his way around those guys and have them back down as he can sometimes do in business.
As I said, it will be interesting how he brings China's currency around, how he keeps Putin at bay, how effective his wall will be if built.
So I'm in. I want to see if his hubris will work in the political arena.
Yeah -- the kind of guy who says "Hillary's a great friend of mine. Her husband is a great friend of mine. They're fantastic people. I mean, they're -- you know, the thing, they get a bad knock. She's a very nice woman. People think, tough, tough. And I guess she's tough, but she's a very nice woman. And he's a very nice guy. We know all about the smarts and how smart they are, and all, but they are good people."
And (while a registered Democrat): "I'm endorsing McCain. I am basically very strongly -- you have to understand, I've known him, I like him, I respect him. ... He's a smart guy and I think he's going to be a great president."
Oh -- excuse me, that was a whole seven or eight years ago. Trump's ability to surround himself with the right people wasn't nearly as good then as it is now. Yeah.
I don’t think working with congress will be an issue for Trump.
He knows how to use the bully pulpit and if that fails he knows where the bodies are buried.
