Has Trump Become Officially a Lame Duck President?

[my2¢]

By my rule, I have no idea where I picked it up, a 2nd term president "officially" becomes a lame duck when the new congress convenes in January after the midterm elections.

That is a lie. I actually had relations in the twin towers. Trump’s Iran war has done nothing to insure security in the Middle East. If nothing Iran will walk out of Trump’s war stronger than ever. As a matter of fact, Iran’s nuclear threat is higher than ever because of Trump’s stupidity.

Get off the Trump crack and start looking at the world as it is.

What's a lie?.... NYC just elected a Muslim terrorist for mayor and now NJ is doing the same thing... so did they forget 9-11????

Maybe, but he's going to ignore convention and decency on pretty everything and dare someone to do something.

This Pulte pick is a perfect example. Trump is surrounding himself with unqualified but loyal attack dogs, as despots always do.

So the damage can surely be done before Congress can do anything about it. That list is pretty long already.

Oh you poor, poor babies! ‘It’s just not fair that Trump won’t give you everything you want for the left’

I misread your post.

I don’t know if they forgot 9-11. I wouldn’t have voted for these folks, but then these voters do not look at these people as threats.

Unless his party retains control

But they are a grave threat... look at the UK today... I'm a registered democrat who has not voted for democrats since 9-11... the party kicked me out... they don't want people who look like me.... Trump came along and all he has done is what moderate democrats use to support....
I don't know if its the schools or social media but the dems are headed in a very bad direction....

It’s the schools

Trump does what his voters want... I know that's a weird concept for you to grasp....

You mean no new wars?
Low inflation?
Cheap gas?

They better not flex too hard unless they want to end-up like Cornyn and Massie.

But yeah, after the midterms all eyes will be on the '28 race. Hell, he might even get more done with the distraction.

Trump endorsed candidates are winning at the ballot box.

Only if the GOP loses Congress

Trump is showing the world how we can defeat a nation through blockaides.... we have all the leverage...

Trump does not care about the price of gas related to a country six thousand miles away.
