Donald Trump has to be sitting at Mar-a-Lago right now laughing into his Diet Coke as the Democrat Party and their bumbling leader just keep on racking up the "Ls." Losses for Democrats at this point are political wins for the president-elect, his team, and the Republican Party.

It hasn't always been Trump's practice to stay quiet while his enemies destroy themselves, but he seems to be taking a mostly sit-back-and-wait approach to watching Joe Biden set flame to the rotted wood and sticks that currently make up the Democrat Party. When he feels like it, Trump may take a poker and push around the embers of his enemies, but, really, he just has to let them continue to self-immolate.
You hear a lot of pundits talk about "political capital," that invisible yet valuable currency that politicians have to spend in order to get his or her agenda advanced or nominees approved. It was thought that Trump, who was handed gobs of political capital on November 5th, would have to spend some of his capital to get his more controversial nominees, like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Pete Hegseth, approved by the GOP-led Senate. This may still be true, but Joe Biden just gave him something even better:
The mother of all mandates.
