A famous statesman that 99% of this board voted for said the following:

I've got a pen and a phone, and if Congress won't act, I will.

Yep. Like I said, the "President has enormous influence in how the federal government implements the laws, and in some areas has a lot of flexibility in deciding what to focus on."

Trump, however, is going well beyond this. Eliminating USAID? Refusing to disburse funds that Congress appropriated? If the President thinks that the choices that Congress has previously made are bad - or supporting "radical left-wing Marxists" or whatever Musk called them - then his remit is to go to Congress and ask them to change them. Not just do it himself.
