What if he blows it on healthcare?

Physical Feats: “Obamacare repeal is a 53-inch vertical leap,” he said. “It’s humanly possible, but there’s no practical way I’ll ever be able to do it.” He bent to touch his toes, a trader’s gut smoothing the slow descent. “Not sure I could do it even with a trampoline,” he admitted, eyeing the free weights. “Tax reform is a 400lb bench press,” he said, straining to slap a 45lb plate on the lonely bar. “It’s been done. Just not by many people. But there’s no shame in putting up 300lbs, and Trump could even claim victory by pressing 250lbs. That would be something.”

Physical Feats II: “But here’s the thing, when you set your sights too high, and come up really short, you tend to stop trying so hard,” he continued. “When you attempt to leap the wall full speed, but hit it face first, you don’t tend to do it again.” Trump has made a habit of attempting feats that most people don’t. Now he’s trying to do a lot of them simultaneously. And he needs congress to spot him. “No one can do all these things. Few people can ever hope to do one. And it’s about to start getting really obvious to everyone watching that Trump is no exception.”
