Nothing changes in the swamp.

Idk, Trump has done a lot of things without the approval or help of Congress. Does it mean less bills coming out of Congress for him to sign? Sure. But that never stopped him from doing what he wants anyways. The wall might not get done (I still don't know why the right won't offer up DREAMers in exchange for wall funding, that would prob swing some votes their way). But what else major legislation can only be done with Congress' help?
Also another reason I think the resistance hasn't won: Inside the WH, Mattis, Tillerson, McMaster were all parts of the resistance, and all are gone. The more yes men Trump gets inside the WH, the stronger he gets. It's obvious he doesn't like having advisors with dissenting opinions.
