Barbarian observes:
Trump is, on the other hand, highly unpopular,
He lost the popular vote by about 3 million votes, and went down from there. The most unpopular president since they started keeping records.

His approval rate, on a good day, is about -15 points.

A weak president.
He's lost on his Muslim ban, on Obamacare, on his wall, on his fake "voter fraud commission", on getting Mexico to pay for his wall,... the Pentagon just told him that they were going to ignore his direction to stop letting transgendered peoople in the military.
The Pentagon Just Ignored Trump’s Transphobia
In case you blocked it out of your mind, back in July Trump decided via Twitter that transgender people could not serve in the military. Why? Because their “surgeries” are too expensive. This logic was deeply foolish considering not all trans people get surgery and the money that goes to the small amount of trans people who decide on surgery is minimal — especially when the “military already spends 10 times more on erectile dysfunction prescriptions.” In addition, Trump’s $20 million trips to Mar-A-Largo costs more than all trans people in the military combined.
There are thousands of trans people who proudly serve and protect their country. Kicking trans people out, or anyone who volunteers their service, will only make our country less safe. Fortunately, the Defense Department officials said on Monday that Trump’s transphobia “most likely violates constitutional rights to due process and equal protection,” according to the New York Times.

So much lose, we're getting bored of watching him lose.
But he did get himself a huge tax cut, financed by raising taxes on most of the rest of us. So he finally got something he wanted.

and has great difficulty getting anything done.
See above. It took him over a year to get a republican congress to vote a tax cut for rich people. Think about that.
