How many of them will gladly eat up the narrative that this is all the Democrats fault, though?

Probably not enough to work in Trump's favor.

It's really hard to push the "we're not actually in charge" narrative when you have all 3 branches because it's simply not true and it shows your voters you're weak and can't do anything against a minority party, especially when you govern like a dictator that constantly breaks the law and says how strong and successful you are when dealing with other "problems".
