Obviously, you have no idea how Reagan advanced so many of his pet projects, with a Democrat Congress.
Trump will use the bully pulpit as it was intended. If a do noting Congress won’t get with the plan and pass meaningful legislation that the public supports, then the bully pulpit is engaged to go right over their heads, directly to the people.
I’m sure he has no illusions that it will be an overnight process, but can you imagine if he is he nominee and continues going straight to the people, consider the wave of non-establishment primary victories that are in the wings as we speak. He will have coat tails, very long ones. It could have a larger effect on Congress than did the 2010 elections.
Maybe that alone is why the establishment pukes are so scared. Every Congress critter is up for re-election at the same time along with 1/3 of the Senate. Can you imagine if an organized effort to model the David Brat model were employed?
That is, if I understood your comment that he cannot do it without Congress.
He could very well become the next President. Americans have had enough of the professional political class.
Viz, Dave Brat. It’s going to be yuuuuge!

Isn’t Brat a big free-trade guy?
