Trump Signals Veto Power Amid Lame-Duck Concerns

President Trump signaled he may use his veto power to block Democratic legislation, facing a Congress controlled by the opposition party for the next two years and a potential third impeachment. After Tuesday's midterm losses, Trump posted a "Veto" hat image on his social media platform, suggesting resistance to Democratic bills. He reportedly stayed isolated in the White House residence, watching Fox News in silence, with aides describing a gloomy atmosphere. The election served as a referendum on Trump's second-term performance, with Democrats gaining congressional control. Analysts expect him to use executive orders and foreign policy powers, including potential military action against Iran, while his MAGA base shift complicates Vice President Vance's 2028 ambitions.
