I was posting as soon as Trump won the nomination that he would never be able to get along with congress. He shares some things in common with Jimmy Carter. Jimmy felt like Congress was made up of corrupt special interest politians (he was right), and that he, on the other hand, was a god fearing righteous man who wanted to help America. In short, he felt that they were beneath him. Consequently, Congress and Carter treated each other with contempt, with predictable results. For different reasons, Trump and Congress are on the same collision course. There simply is not room enough in DC for that many oversized egos.
Trump is going to continue to lose that battle with congress, as long as he is in Washington.
Trump is "The Boss"
He does not build alliances he bullies his opponent and tries to humiliate them
But with a 37% approval rating, he does not have much political capital
