With the exception of a few Presidents like Lincoln, it's hard to compare the Executive Branch in the 20th and 21st century to it in the 18th or 19th. The Presidency post FDR is a whole different beast.
Regardless, Trump submitted his budget like past President, submitted his tax plan ideas, and lobbied Congress to give him what he wants. In 8 days, we'll see him go in front of Congress and propose more legislative action.
