Hell, a small cadre of pubs can stymie O whenever they want. Trumple is going to have the ENTIRE government agin him. Congress, the courts, the fucking bureaucracy, his ability to pick his own nose is not evident to me should he win.
And if he does win, it's fucking Hillary's fault anyhow. Any particle of successful legislation he does manage to expectorate is going to be HILLARY'S fault.
In my opinion, the President's primary job is foreign diplomacy/foreign relations. Everything I've seen from Trump suggests to me that he would completely and utterly fail at this. I think he would speak too crudely about other nations and their leaders, I think he would routinely misspeak in important meetings and summits, and I think he'd be unnecessarily aggressive in his rhetoric with certain countries. I think other countries would not be as willing to work with us because of him. He's accustomed to getting whatever he wants. The way he wheels and deals won't cut it when he represents the United States of America.
In addition, the POTUS is the only one who can decide to use nuclear weapons. He doesn't need Congressional approval. The fact that he stated in an interview that he "wouldn't be opposed" to using nukes is scary enough.
As for everything else, he won't get it done. Not because Congress will stop him, but because he has no domestic policy. All he has is "The Wall" and an immigration policy that is starting to look more and more like the one we already have.
