Trump has three leverage points that, if effectively mixed together, can change the course of history on issue like crime, immigration, budget, and the courts. Those are: the veto pen, the bully pulpit, and executive actions. But if they are left unused, his presidency will fail, even if he gets a second term. 

Not only is Trump’s lurch to the left on the 1994 crime bill wrong on data, it’s bad messaging. He could use the bully pulpit to explain his previously held position that weak-on-crime laws actually hurt black people more than anyone else. 

Next, our border briefing. The president could be using executive actions, the bully pulpit, and a veto threat to make this issue a national security problem that requires military intervention. This needs to happen; the president can do it; and it will refocus the public in a way that will bring the border issue to the front.
