Don't believe the BS. This is comically impossible. Anything short of a nuclear-scale event and Trump's (domestic) power is fairly limited and decreasing daily. That's why he is doing photo ops instead of signing actual laws.
The president's domestic job is mainly to oversee and implement the enforcement of laws, as passed by Congress and interpreted by the courts. He cannot subvert laws in any real sense. Even his travel ban, where presidential power is at a near maximum, is a complete failure unless and until the Supreme Court gives him some limited symbolic victory. The US has some significant divides, and Trump represents a group of people, but not the majority and not the powerful. Many who voted for him just wanted to take a chance and that chance has been a failure.
