Trump was not really as powerful politically as you perceived him. A lot of what was going on with Trump was more so that his very existence as a political figure emboldened and empowered the worst forces in American politics. His actual substantive accomplishments as a politician were quite limited - he actually didn't get very much done, other than a ruinous tax cut. His biggest accomplishment was simply that he appointed a lot of judges, which is important because the judiciary now effectively functions as the primary legislative body for the federal government. But when the judiciary pushed back at Trump, it was often an effective check on his ability to accomplish what he wanted to accomplish.

So from that point of view, we can see the similarities and the differences between Trump and Biden. Like Trump, Biden is limited to a significant degree in what he can accomplish by the power of the judiciary. Unlike Trump, who spoke for his support base and effectively empowered them as a national political faction, Biden is unable or unwilling to effectively use the bully pulpit, communicate what he stands for, and sell it to the American people. And Biden is unwilling to stretch the boundaries of executive power to try to accomplish his goals in the way Trump was.
