A lame duck president with a hostile Congress. For the moment, we have a president and not a king so its not like he can just do what he wants

The Supreme Court ruled in Trump v. United States that the president is above the law: as long as he is performing an "official act" he can not be prosecuted for it.

Congress is only an obstacle because he allows himself to be stopped by it.
