And let's face it, Trump will do whatever he wants, tell people that disagree that they are losers and the GOP controlled congress won't hold his feet to the fire about anything but the most sever accusations....if those even come to light during his time in office.

I dunno. Congress may surprise some. Sure, they'll turn a blind eye to a lot if they're getting what they want. But if he pushes for some of the things he campaigned on (namely term limits) and blocks some things negative to his base (like reducing Medicaid benefits to the poor), he's not going to have any friends in the legislative branch. Mitch and Ryan aren't going to put up with much reform talk.
