I seriously doubt it.
Trump won Missouri by 19 points. Senator McCaskill (D-MO) is up for reelection in 2018. So are 25 other Democrat U.S. Senators. That's over half the seats they hold in the Senate. 13 are from states Trump won or narrowly lost. Republicans only defend 8 seats in 2018.
One of three things is going to happen. Trump is a lousy President (which I doubt, but time will tell), Democrats in red states capitulate and hope it's enough to get reelected...or they obstruct President Trump, and we get a filibuster proof majority in the Senate in 2019. Win/Win for Republicans if Trump makes good decisions as President.
Several Democrats facing 2018 re-election are from states Trump carried
