You hate him (and at a visceral, personal level I might add) no matter what he says or does. Pot meet Kettle.

You know, I do believe we have a very unusual circumstance here. I've never seen a President under such outright attack from all sides, including from within his own Administration, from the moment he won the election, with the sole purpose being to overturn his win the way Trump has been. It may not be outright civil war, but it's certainly an attempt to thwart the voice of the American people and stop Trump from governing in any meaningful way.

I don't see anything in the last two years that's worse than Mitch McConnell declaring that his #1 goal was to make Obama a one-term President.
The President doesn't appoint Congress. 
The Congress is supposed to be more powerful than the President.  They have deferred so much of their power to the president and his appointees over the last 100 years.  They may have to start taking it back.
It's not going to be pretty, and it will come across as disloyal to those of us who like the President at the time.
That said, this is just where I see things headed.  Congress has yet to pass major reforms to limit the President's power.  They are just talking about it.
