We now know how weak a president Trumpy will be. Congress has him by the nuts. [View all]

Fanboys, you're going to love this.

Trumpy has all of his problems with the Russia connections. I don't need to go through those with DU's readers. GOPers want their agenda passed into law. While Trumpy is becoming more vulnerable by the day, he is dependent on GOPers in Congress to block investigations that might lead to his impeachment. GOPers, on the other hand, want Trumpy in office as an easy signatory to their pet bills and want as few distractions as possible before all of the shit hits the fan.

So the GOPers in Congress KNOW that they can get Trumpy to sign anything they place in front of him. It's Grover Norquist's dream president. If Trumpy gets oppositional, a few of those pesky Congresspeople will start splitting from their solid voting bloc and will demand a Trumpy investigation, or join in a contemporaneous one. So the less co-operative Trumpy is with Congressional bills, the more "unhappiness" GOPers will display, and the closer the GOPers will get to impeaching Trumpy.

Trumpy is unbelievably weak. He's compromised by Russia and he can easily be coerced by Congress.
