The beauty of Trump is he can always make something out of nothing.

Does the executive have the power to do this? Probably not, at least not in a permanent, meaningful way. But Trump will pull a few levers, trigger some court cases that he may ultimately lose, get the Democrats riled up, start a national conversation, and somehow a few months later the legislation will be on the table ready for him to sign.

He turns irrational liberal rage into productive, bipartisan policy, and understands the benefits of doing something you're not allowed to do is it makes your opponent react.
