MarketWatch reported that President Trump holds substantial authority to influence financial markets without needing approval from a Congress controlled by Democrats.

This suggests that despite potential legislative gridlock, the president can still take actions that affect economic and market conditions on his own.

The report highlights the scope of executive power in shaping market dynamics even when facing opposition in Congress.
