The Washington Post editorial board presented the different options they believe President Donald Trump may pursue to ensure that he doesn’t end up a lame duck.
The Post noted on Friday that while most presidents “stumble” in their second term and eventually end up becoming lame duck presidents, Trump is “uniquely positioned to avoid this fate.”
“He is the first president since Grover Cleveland to serve nonconsecutive terms, giving him a fresh start with a new team, a pliant Congress — and an unpopular predecessor to blame for the country’s problems,” the editorial observed. “His continuing influence over the Republican Party’s base and showman’s command of the bully pulpit might allow him to exert unusual influence over the nation’s direction, even if Democrats flip control of the House for his final two years in office.”
