Right when he’s completely useless, he pushes for this. Pathetic and disingenuous.

    He couldn’t and didn’t pursue this when he wasn’t a lame duck. Get real on that fixing your legacy in a month thing

      Please describe how he has been a lame duck president. Given he represents a party that is outnumbered in the Senate. And let’s table the Israeli/Palestine conflict since this forum of discussion doesn’t really work well for full history and geopolitical strategy history lessons.

        lame duck

        noun

        An elected officeholder or group continuing in office during the period between failure to win an election and the inauguration of a successor.

        He’s the definition of a lame duck president right now. That’s not saying anything bad, or good, about the man, just the fact of his current position.

        Just using it for a temporal reference as he’s out of time in his presidency. Any other meaning not intended.
