Yep - they just have to elect enough candidates who will let Trump run amok. The majority doesn't need to agree with Trump, just enough people to avoid voting (a much smaller number). That's what we're seeing now.

Then they just have to keep that small number of people in power through whatever means. Even if congress swings enough to have anti-Trump votes, he'll just ignore whatever Congress says, and force it into the courts (which are packed increasingly with Trump friendly judges). That's how it happens.
