    Can you imagine Trump just passively doing nothing while one or two senators blocked his agenda?

    That's exactly what happened to a bunch of his non-neocon agenda items.

    Trump was doing Infrastructure Week four years before Biden picked up the torch. He had an education reform bill that failed. He had a health care bill that failed. He had an immigration bill that failed. He had a crime bill that failed. The overwhelming majority of Trump's policies were enacted by way of executive order and largely endure because Biden hasn't rolled them back.

    I mean, McCain sorta did that and Trump kept on mocking him after he was dead.

    Trump's History Tour is flopping, with weak turnout in both Orlando and Dallas. When he was getting round-the-clock full-team Twitter-centric coverage, his swag would echo and boost his appeal. Now he's Page 6 material on a good day.

    You can't build a lasting political legacy on Epic Owns. He's going to fall down the memory hole, and we'll be back to hagiographies of Ronald Reagan and Calvin Coolidge by November.
