This is why self-respecting adults rarely have any interest serving in the U.S. Senate. Chris Christie was once asked about whether he would run for a U.S. Senate seat from New Jersey after his tenure as governor is over, and he said there's no way he'd do such a thing -- because he'd be driven to drown himself in the Potomac River (that's exactly what he said).
The good news here is that Trump is a businessman who has no patience for this kind of sh!t. I have no doubt that Trump will use some very creative measures to work around the dipsh!ts who obstruct him in the Senate -- such as using a revolving door of recess appointments even to fill Supreme Court positions, for example.

Four years of Washington politics is going to test Trump’s patience. Every president experiences it and Trump will be no exception.
In some respects it may be harder for him to live with than it is for a career politician who is used to the process intensive environment, bureaucratic inertia, and constant power struggles.
