Has Trump Become Officially a Lame Duck President?

[Zincwarrior]

Yup. Which is why I asked to explain your theory.

His domestic agenda is being destroyed - much by his own doing. His choices to handle the government are being actively bucked now.

With the primaries over his ability to bulldoze the MAGA Party is now extremely limited.

 

[Zincwarrior]

So you considered Obama a lame duck?

In his second term, yes indeed.

Trump's lameness has begun, OP, but will

be solidified come the midterms this November.

How's that?

You don't think he will have any impact in the November election?

 

[MarcATL]

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

Oh I get it. NYC's Mayor Mamdani is doing the same.

[Zincwarrior]

How's that?

What is it? What has been passed?

You don't think he will have any impact in the November election?

Oh definitely, but not how you want it to.

 

[MarcATL]

Right now he is focused on Iran and the next election.... republicans will keep the house and senate.... that's not a lame ducks actions....

So you considered Obama a lame duck?

He was for the last two years. Yup

Impact in November?

Not in a positive way

Actually the House vote will not effect the war against Iran. The resolution now has to go to the Senate where it still needs to take a final vote to officially pass it. But even if it passes both chambers of Congress, President Trump is almost certain to veto it. Congress would then need a two-thirds majority in both the House and the Senate to override the veto and make it legally binding, a threshold they currently do not have the numbers to meet.

To top it off, the White House ballroom is also currently actively under construction, despite the legal battles.

Trump need approval to go to war, not a law to stop him..

As for the ballroom... That is a gift to Democrats that keeps on giving... The reflection pool is giving them great traction right now... Democrats need the arch, it just is so disconnected to reality, GOP enabling a US Presidential Marie Antoinette.

 

[sartre play]

JLW the democrat party has forgotten 9-11... they are embracing the very kind of men that flew planes into the twin towers... its like reaching into hell and pulling the terrorists out and voting for them.... WTF? man....

Problem, 9-11 planes not flown by IRAN.
IRAN a country run by horrible people.
No doubt. Are we trying to be horrible also?

The price of oil is still lower than it went under Biden/Harris...

View attachment 1265004

Problem is, everyone knows Biden didn't cause the cut in oil supply in 2022.

No everyone knows it was because of a deal Trump signed in 2020.

But everyone knows that Trump caused this time...

Now that Trump has culled the primary herd, he now has four Republicans that have nothing to lose. In addition, as we have seen the House recently voted to end the Iran War, and other Republicans are openly revolting against his home improvement projects and recent cabinet levels picks (Pulte). If this the beginning of Trump Lame Duck Status? USMB Discuss!

After saying he doesn't care what consumers have to pay for gas, doesn't care that Iran at least temporarily cut off negotiations cuz he is bored with the matter, just made a statutorily unqualified hack the acting DNI, seems interested only in the ballroom and arch, I think his disaffection towards doing his job has made him a lame duck.

He was for the last two years. Yup

In final year, Obama seeks to stave off lame-duck status

WASHINGTON (AP) — In June, during one of the best stretches of his presidency, Barack Obama strode through a West Wing hallway exclaiming, "Offense! Stay on offense!" It was a rallying cry for a White House that suddenly seemed to find its footing in the final quarter of Obama's tenure. An...

How does a president "officially" become a lame duck? You're OP was pretty lame.

 

[Zincwarrior]

Democrats need the arch, it just is so disconnected to reality, GOP enabling a US Presidential Marie Antoinette.

I would submit a tastefully done arch with engraved murals showing veterans in line with a proper Memorial / Veterans monument would be very favorable, given its location. I am not a fan of the gold statues up top though. Its gauche.

 

[Zincwarrior]

How does a president "officially" become a lame duck. You're OP was pretty lame.

Normally year one of their second term. You must not be a student of history, at all.

 

[Man With A Plan]

In Trump’s final years in office he has no intention to do anything that benefits the American people. If you want to know what Trump will do in the next few years, just ask: what can Trump do to enrich Trump, his family and his cronies. That will be your answer.

Like he did in his first term, JLW? (eye roll)

Trump left office worth less than when he entered in his first term. He didn't even take a salary during those 4 years. Kind of blows up your whole 'Trump cashing in' narrative! Just saying...
