For years, the right-wing outrage was that Obama's Iran deal didn't address their ballistic missile program or state sponsorship of terrorism. Those both seem to be off the table entirely for Trump.
Functionally, Trump's main "victory" is set to be that Obama's name isn't on it anymore.

The Constitution doesn't explicitly mention emergency powers, but many scholars argue it's implied by the structure of the executive branch (and courts have generally been willing to consent to this).
