Playbook: “For a guy who likes to win, and puts so much stock in not looking like a loser, President Trump is throwing an awful lot of weight behind two efforts that, if you’re charitable, you can say he is not certain to win, but if you’re realistic, you can definitively declare he is likely to lose in a publicly humiliating fashion.”
“First, Trump says he is going to veto the National Defense Authorization Act — which has passed every year for 59 years. Aides and congressional allies have made it clear to Trump that his veto is likely to be overridden, and have tried to get him to back off, but he does not at all appear moved by their pleas.”
Second, the president is spending his final days in the White House interested in a campaign to pressure members of Congress to join a futile effort to overturn the 2020 election.”
