The dems having a trifecta does not mean that he has absolute power in deciding what to do with it. If it doesn’t fly with the democrats as a whole, he can try, but would fail.
Let’s be honest, the democrats as a whole would never have gone along with getting rid of the PATRIOT Act.
The posed question was what would history remember about his presidency.
It was not ‘why is this the case / how did that happen’.
You’re rationalizing.
You’re not ‘wrong’, but you’re rationalizing.
Yep, he/they did not have absolute power.
But that was the peak of their power - look what they did and did not do with it.
They sold out the country, continued the selling out of the country… and effectively presided over the main event that literally formalized selling out the country.
Hopefully I don’t need to explain that the President typically has a very large impact on the policies and politics of their party.
I don’t think history will remember that he did not do something, especially something that he had no power to do. He’ll be remembered for what he did.

Yet when Republicans have one they get everything they want passed.
Because the whole party wants it.

Certainly not when one of their own wrote most of it
