Trump’s Landslide Victory and Legislative Gridlock
In a stunning turn of events, President Trump has secured the 2024 election with a commanding 312 electoral votes, sweeping all battleground states, the popular vote, and gaining control of both the US House of Representatives and the Senate, along with winning 2,750 counties nationwide.
This election result reflects a clear mandate from the American electorate in favor of Trump and his policy agenda.
However, this overwhelming support seems to have fallen on deaf ears within the GOP-controlled Congress, where legislative progress appears to be at a virtual standstill.
As reported by Amuse and Leading Report on X, the current Congress has delivered fewer bills to President Trump for approval than any other Congress in the past 70 years. Now, that’s a record worth noting!
DO NOTHING CONGRESS: There are so many RINOs and NeverTrumpers in Congress that almost nothing can pass. This Congress has sent fewer bills to Trump than any Congress in 70 years. Would better leadership help or are the anti-Trump Republicans just too powerful?

According to Punchbowl News, Trump has signed fewer bills into law at this stage than any new president in the last 70 years. While he has been busy with 124 executive orders, the legislative output has been astonishingly low.
For perspective:
- By this point in 2017, Trump had already signed 24 bills into law.
- In contrast, President Biden had signed seven bills by this time in his presidency.
- Back in 2009, Barack Obama had signed 11 bills into law.
- George W. Bush managed seven bills in 2001.
- Bill Clinton signed 21 bills into law in 1993.
- George H.W. Bush signed 13 bills in 1989.
- Ronald Reagan had signed nine by 1981.
- Jimmy Carter signed 19 by 1977.
- Richard Nixon managed eight by this point in 1969.
- Even John F. Kennedy and Dwight D. Eisenhower both signed 20 bills into law by March 1961 and 1953, respectively.
This stark contrast highlights the unprecedented stagnation within Congress, leading to a historical lack of productivity in legislative affairs.
If Republicans lose control of the House in 2026, it won’t be due to President Trump or his policies. Instead, it will be a direct result of an unproductive Congress that has failed to deliver on the promises made to voters. Enough is enough.
