Trump uses every weapon in his arsenal....and more.

He accepts no opinions or court decisions without a challenge. He is very adept at manipulating the judicial system. He has done it for decades.
If Congress doesn't appropriate money for a wall, then he will just get it somewhere else. He does not follow the rules or the laws. Those are for other people.
On top of it all, he is not ashamed to lie and deceive the people. He knows no shame. He creates the narrative and uses distractions and diversions to change the topic of conversation.
Democrats have been surprised by his lawlessness and recklessness. Trump's lies tend to keep them on the defensive most of the time. They subpoena people to appear before the Congress and the White House ignores them. They get nothing.
Democrats have been playing by the rules in the old Rulebook, when officials, even the President, respected the rule of law and the order within the institutions. Trump has crapped all over that.
They say, "when in Rome, do as the Romans do". For the Democrats to succeed, it is my opinion that they need to change their tactics. They need to be more offensive with their strategy. They need to use all the weapons in their arsenal. They have them but they have refused to use them. They are not fighting an opponent that respects them.
First of all, they need to make a decision about impeachment. The pressure will be great after the testimony of Robert Mueller next Wednesday. That is the strongest weapon in their arsenal. If they refuse to use it, they are surrendering their position to the megalomaniac in the White House, in hopes that the people will put them in power in the next election.
