The public is scared right now. Everything seems to be crumbling. Who better to comfort them than President Reality Show?
I know the wait is frustrating, but you're all going to have to learn from the experience of the 60s and the mid-2000s.
Also, the Democratic Party goading him into focusing on infrastructure, as they seem to be doing, is useful in delaying the inevitable, but will increase his personal popularity. It's a catch-22.

Trump will get his Indian summer, probably until after the 2018 midterms. You can expect that he'll rush through a few vaguely populist measures first, in an attempt at shoring up support. This will probably work.
If Trump is smart - and he is canny - he'll wait until after the midterm to begin pursuing deportations in earnest, just long enough to lull the public into a false sense of security.
The Democratic Party underestimated George Bush on the basis of his public persona, to their own peril. Don't make the same mistake again.
