You mean his tweet where he said it was a good idea, just maybe not the most pressing issue? I did. Anyway, I didn't mean to say he won't do anything. As president, it would be difficult to not shape US foreign policy. But while he obviously has a history of taking action, he has a very mixed record of taking successful action, which I think is part of being effective.
And he does have the ear of half the country, but in the past it has seemed like he's really only good at marketing himself, not so much his products and businesses. So of course he can use his followers to his advantage, but I don't see a lot of evidence that he will use that advantage well. Being able to push something through Congress doesn't mean he'll be able to make it work and make people buy into it.
