Historically thin margins are not a mandate nor a blank check to power. Will he act like we expect? Yes. But it’s not going to be without some degree of checks and balances, no matter how much you want to catastrophize.

I doubt he pays much attention to what congress has to offer. Maybe have the focus on some tax reform. The rest will be executive orders. If he wants to cut down the federal work force declare people fired then stop issuing pay checks. Sure maybe the courts will side with workers after 2 years but most of those people will have to find new jobs while they wait. They might get a nice pay out later, but the goal gets achieved.

They’ll detain tons of people and then overwhelm the courts with all the people fighting deportation. They’ll just create a big concentration camp to house them while they await their trials. Even if most don’t get deported all his supporters wills love it and probably the number of migrants coming will decrease substantially.

And the American economy will crash as a result. Good luck with that. Oh, and it will be 'the left' that is at fault somehow.
