Trump Wrestles With New Reality: A Lame Duck With Two Years Left to Fight

After a decade at the center of American politics, President Trump is politically wounded, with diminished power. Those who know him say the next two years will be unpredictable.

What the coverage shows

Both outlets frame the story around Trump’s weakened political position and the uncertainty of his next two years. The New York Times emphasizes his diminished power and says people who know him expect unpredictability, while South China Morning Post focuses on how he might try to stay in control and, in its extract, says the loss is expected to push the White House toward a more aggressive foreign policy.
