I suspect he'll cope a little better than some people think, because I don't discount the business and military experience of many of his employees, but I also don't think he's ever going to be popular. When one party gets control of the government, the country has a way of moving back to divided government.

The GOP is poised to pick up more seats in 2018. This will only expand their already significant ability to control the electoral college vote.
He only needs to keep the Rust Belt, which, I agree with you, he may lose if he doesn't bring back all those he promised.
