Victor Davis Hanson is as blind to reality as Trump

 
 
 
Trump II started his term with a 5-seat advantage in the U.S. House. 
 
Trump I started his term with a 47-seat advantage.
 
Nothing lasting was achieved the first time with a huge majority, and sure as hell won't be this time because he's incompetent and the Congress hates his guts.
 
The resignation of Marjorie Taylor Greene may be just the tip of the iceberg about to sink Trump II forever. But even if it's not, a 5-seat advantage screams gridlock if Republicans will not compromise on anything.
 
Trump can issue all the Executive Orders he wants. They will be undone. He can declare all the emergencies he wants. They will be ended. 
 
There is no substitute for legislation, and he's not going to get any.
 
Meanwhile the Department of Defense is still the Department of Defense, my shrimp still come from the Gulf of Mexico, and the Great White North is still Canada, eh?
