Dems had the presidency for four years. They had Congress for two years. With that same amount of power Donald has accomplished everything he wants.
Did you notice those special sessions Abbott just did in Texas?
The US president has the same power. He could have kept Congress in session for four years straight until he got what he wanted by sheer force of will.
But that assumes he gives a shit.
First of all
Texas house and senate were also solid red.
POTUS can't keep congress in session because that would require power of the purse which belongs solely to the house.
I JUST SENT YOU A LIST OF THINGS THEY ACCOMPLISHED DESPITE THEIR 50:50 MAJORITY, NOT COUNTING ANY EXECUTIVE ORDERS.
