Donald Trump is president today because he was seen as a doer not a talker. Among the most common compliments paid him in 2016 was, \u201cAt least he gets things done!\u201d<\/p>\n

And it was exasperation with a dithering GOP Congress, which had failed to enact his or its own agenda, that caused Trump to pull the job of raising the debt ceiling away from Republican contractors Ryan & McConnell, and give it to Pelosi & Schumer.<\/p>\n

To be sure, Trump only kicked this year\u2019s debt crisis to mid-December.<\/p>\n

Before year\u2019s end, he and Congress will also have to deal with an immigration crisis brought on by his cancellation of the Obama administration\u2019s amnesty for the \u201cDreamers\u201d now vulnerable to deportation.<\/p>\n

He will have to get Congress to fund his Wall, enact tax reform and finance the repair and renewal of our infrastructure, or have his first year declared a failure.<\/p>\n
