Wait until Trump has both the house and senate. The US will FLY!

but often you need 60 votes in the Senate for major legislation, thus causing several issues in Trump's first two years (along with cuck Paul Ryan in the House)

You only need a simple majority (51+) to pass a bill in the Senate. 60 votes merely allows the Senate to "close debate" (known as cloture), effectively ending a filibuster. Basically, 60+ allows you to fast-track a bill through the Senate.
