Donald Trump must move hard and fast to get his agenda enacted. He’s going to be opposed not only by the bureaucrats of the Deep State but by, to some extent, the courts, congressional Democrats, and soft Republicans. Fortunately, President Trump, as chief executive – the unitary executive – has tremendous authority. He and his appointees, as well as Republicans in Congress, must use it. They will feel considerable pressure to be soft and weak, not only from the regime media but from the spineless establishmentarians. They must reject it, and fully exercise the power the American people have granted them. 

There are practical limitations to Donald Trump’s soon-to-be-recovered power. He will have to fight the regime media every step of the way, and it will gleefully lie about him and attempt to intimidate members of his administration to compel obedience. Everything he does will be challenged in the courts, and while we have more favorable judges than we used to, the problem with alleged judicial conservatives is sometimes they tolerate the libs. When it comes to prosecution, there are some venues – like Washington DC – where you can’t convict a Democrat, and that will allow them not to answer for their crimes. There are legal considerations. Some laws are crystal clear and limit what he can do, while other laws are ambiguous, meaning he can push the outside of the envelope. And it’s going to be tough making new laws. The filibuster remains a thing – the Republicans will not do what the Democrats promise to do and get rid of it for him to ram through his agenda. Whether that’s a good idea or not is a moot point. We must fight the battle on the battlefield where we’ve landed.
