Give me any evidence that Republicans give a shit about public opinion. They don't. Americans by healthy margins wanted an Immigration bill like the one from the Senate. Republicans don't give a shit about public opinion. People need to stop thinking the Bully Pulpit is real.

The cut to food stamps was part of an Omnibus spending bill to fund the government. Because the American people elected a Republican House, the American People got a House that required that as part of funding the government. The American people must love the loss of food stamps because a majorty went out and handed Republicans the Senate and more seats in the House. If the people think that food stamps do not want to be cut, they should vote and elect democrats. All budgets start in the House. Republicans control the House. Blame the House of Representatives because they don't give a fuck about the poor or public opinion.

He has made many speeches to call for Congress to pass a jobs bill. So far, Republicans have refused to pass a jobs bill. That is because the Bully Pulpit isn't a real thing. It is just a way of swaying public opinion, and Republicans don't give a shit about public opinion. They also don't giv a fuck about the poor or middle class. At this time, the American people who bothered to get off their butt and vote voted for no jobs. Only Congrses can pass a jobs bill. The American people just handed the whole of Congress to Republicans who don't give a fuck about them.

it s his explicit Presidential Power to negotiate treaties with foreign powers. Those treaties must be approved by the Senate. Those treaties will be revealed when the Senate is asked to approve or disapprove. People may or may not like the agreements he negotiates. That is why the Senate is given final approval. There is no constitutional or legal requirement that he negotiate in public.
