...and then factor in the obstructionist Senate he had to deal with (compared to Trump, who had Republican majority in both Houses for his first two years and majority in the Senate for his whole term) I'd say just the opposite is true.

Most of Trump's promises were ill-conceived and controversial Forget the wall, he promised to bring back waterboarding, impose mandatory death penalties for cop-killers, and end birthright citizenship. Wishful thinking on all three. He also promised term limits on Congress, something that, while desired by most Americans, is beyond the power of the Executive Branch. It would require approval by Congress to ever get started. (Call me a skeptic, but our Congress will NOT vote on a bill that limits their own power.)

WHY? That place should never have been opened to begin with.
