MODERATORS
Can you give an example of Trump getting the senate to do what he wanted when a majority of senators was against it please?
How about McConnell?

So your example of Trump forcing the senate to do something they were against while president is an article about something that happened a year after he was president? I'm not even sure what the relevant part of that article is.
He has more influence as an ex-president than Biden did in year 1
This is what I asked:
How is that article an example of such a thing? Can you quote the relevant portion please?
The entire point of whipping is influence and coercion and not literal power enunciated in a charter, bylaw, constitution, or parliamentary procedure you seem to be looking for.
The author does on to describe the "GOP’s transformation into the Party of Trump" but Trump didn't do any of this by some manipulation of enumerated power as taught in high school civics about the separation of powers. He did it by appealing to voters and forcing Senators to follow him.
Biden can't appeal to Democrats on things the public already favors because he is a poor leader.
Again, this is what I asked for:
You showed me him changing Lindsay Graham's mind.
That is not what I asked for.
The fact is, you cannot produce what I ask for because the president does not control the senate.
