Because Trump has a history of getting big things done.

Trump has NO history of getting anything done with Congress. So you are making an very questionable judgment that he would be able to do with Congress what he has done in business. The big problem is that Trump would not have the same incentives for Congress to work with him that he does with businesses. He can't offer them money or power, and Congress is so gerrymandered that he really can't threaten their seats. So what would be his leverage?
