While I agree with most of your narrative the still outstanding piece beyond the president is the Democrats loosing seats in the house and not gaining control of the Senate. While they did get the presidency by a relatively slim margin in a few states the bigger picture it will be hard, if not impossible, to implement many of his agenda goals unless he can reach across the isle somehow (and the other side is accepting).

This is not a solid or mandate win by any means I do not believe. Not gaining the senate, not getting a supermajority in house, these were things that would've said the American people outright rejected trump. While we have a new president in the Whitehouse the country could potential be deadlocked for the next 2-4 years.
