There's plenty President Trump could be doing; previous presidents have used the lame duck period to finalize major policies. President Trump could be doing the same. Instead, President Trump seems focused on challenging the election results with spurious claims about voter fraud while spreading disinformation aimed at delegitimizing the President-elect. It seems apparent that in his final days in the White House, Trump will continue to stoke division rather than call for unity. Some even speculate that President Trump might consider resigning so that Vice President Mike Pence can take his place and preemptively pardon him, as Gerald Ford once did for Richard Nixon.
