Trump Is Becoming a Lame Duck

Laura Rozen: “For the first nine/ten months of Trump’s second term, it seemed that he wielded virtually unchecked power, with a supplicant Republican Senate, House and Supreme Court, incompetent but purely loyal cabinet chiefs like Pete Hegseth and Pam Bondi in place solely because they would not refuse Trump’s illegal demands to use US troops against Americans in American cities, and to prosecute Trump’s perceived political critics, or pardon his corrupt henchmen, which he continues to do at an astonishing pace.”

“But in the past week, Trump’s power has been facing a new reality check that even he at some level seems to have acknowledged is not fully in his control or malleable to his propaganda: American voters blame Trump and the GOP for the high cost of living and worsening economy under their unified control of Washington.”
