In the the American system of checks and balances was supposed to take advantage of people's proclivity towards selfishness. They figured that it would work, because everyone would want to flex their muscle. That's what power hungry people usually do. Unfortunately, nobody even envisioned a system in which Congress just lays down at the feet of the president, to pretend like they work for him. I thin that Trump will lose, but I think your broader point is probably correct. Eventually the system will fail.
