Every day we are shocked by his behavior only to be outdone the next. There has to be an outc ...

Headline after headline now frame Donald Trump as a lame duck.A term meant to convey a president not seeking reelection who will remove themselves from power after the next election with diminished authority and waning influence over the government, its institutions, and their own party. A president acting like ...
