That's really not fair.
Joe Biden has more than half a century of experience in federal government. Technically, Donald Trump has four years, but considering Trump spent more time on the golf course than pushing legislation through Congress during his first term in the White House, Biden has plenty of experience and an intellectual edge that he in his final will use days in office.
Trump angrily posted on Truth Social: “Biden is doing everything he can to make the TRANSITION as difficult as possible, from lawfare like never before, to costly and ridiculous executive orders on the Green New Scam and other money-wasting hoaxes .” Don’t worry, these “orders” will all be lifted shortly and we will become a nation of common sense and strength. MAGA!!!”
The trigger for Trump was apparently Biden's use of a 1953 law to ban the expansion of offshore drilling in US waters.
Trump believes he can repeal the order when he takes office, as I've written before The daily, He can't: “On the question of offshore drilling, it could take years for the matter to reach the Supreme Court and for the court to decide on the Biden ban.” Even if the court were to overturn it, Trump could already leave office have before it happened, and the next Democratic president could reinstate the Biden ban. There are not enough votes in the House and Senate to overturn a Biden ban, so it looks like this move by Biden will screw up a big part of the Trump agenda.”
The law does not provide a way to reverse Biden's order. Trump can try to issue an executive order overturning Biden's order, but his administration will immediately be sued and likely lose in court because Biden confirmed a record number of federal judges during his term. Furthermore, this matter was already being litigated during Barack Obama's second term, so Trump faces an uphill battle at best.
Donald Trump is ten steps behind.
Joe Biden outsmarted Donald Trump, but the president-elect doesn't even know it yet.
