  Trump just says what most people are afraid to say. That's why he consistently defies the polling and has been elected POTUS 3 times. Boys in girls locker rooms, Boys competing against girls, wide open borders, these are issues that Trump bluntly spells out. The vast majority of the voting public agrees with him. The Dem's want to shut him up any way they can, even though he is a Lame Duck. Trump's "straight talking" brings out into the open the absurdity of the Dem Party Policies. 
  And Trump is not afraid to continue pointing out the 2020 Election was rigged. People KNOW that election was crooked, just as the recent Calif Primary was. Same M.O. employed for both elections. Count alleged ballots endlessly until the Dem Candidate stuffs the box enough to turn the election around.

The term "lame duck" gets tossed around loosely these days. Initially, it referred to an outgoing Congress the new Congress was voted into office and when it was sworn in. It was also applied to the outgoing POTUS. Originally, both the new Congress and the new POTUS were sworn in on March 4. During that time the current Congress and POTUS have full powers. Usually the sessions just clean up loose ends with spending bills and the Senate can act on confirmations of presidential appointees. The 20th Amendment moved the inauguration of the POTUS to January 20 and the new Congress taking power on January 3. It also shifted the task of confirming the Electoral College vote to the new Congress.

Trump is not a lame duck and will not be one until after the 2028 presidential election. If he loses either the House, Senate, or both, he will have reduced power but he will not be a lame duck. We will simply have divided power which has happened many times in the past> When that happens, the POTUS and Congress have to negotiate with one another to pass legistlation rather than having one party be able ramrod spending bills into law.

Who knew the most dangerous part of skydiving isn't jumping out of the plane. It's going up in the plane.

I wouldn't jump out of a perfectly good airplane for all of Elon Musk's money.

It would have to be going down in flames and even then I'd probably need a push.

The fall isn't what kills you. It's that sudden stop.

I think they should give Karemelo Anthony his knife back so he can slit his on throat.

   The main players involved are extremely young. YOU need to keep this in mind before piling on like you are doing above. And, you need to consider both families. You're fanning the flames which only prolongs the agony both families are enduring.
