The Long Presidential Transition Time is Dangerous

It is time to end the lame-duck presidency. Trump should be President sooner.

A campaign is a disagreement, and disagreements divide. But an election is a decision, and decisions clear the way for harmony and peace. - George H. W. Bush

A campaign is a disagreement, and an election is a decision. That’s the truth, but in America, we wait too long to live with the decision. This is dangerous when the country is supporting wars on several fronts, and the lame-duck president is in obvious mental decline. Joe Biden is leaving Trump bigger problems than there were on November 5th. Biden is the sole and lawful president, but he lacks a popular mandate for his choices; the voters decided against his hand-picked successor, and he is kidding himself if he thinks he would have performed better than Vice President Kamala Harris in the polls. In all likelihood, if Joe Biden had been on the ballot himself, Trump would have won close to 400 Electoral votes.
