politics
Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

He's not learning anything. I'm pretty sure that the last thing he learned was how to walk. And that was 76 years ago give or take. I still not convinced he knows how to read or write.
Yep, he is clearly didn't learn from the shit show that his tariff war caused in his first term.
Over 245,000 US jobs were lost. And it cost consumers and businesses $900,000 for each job that was saved in the steel industry.
But yeah, let's do that again, only this time on a massive scale (sigh)
He's made shitloads of money through all of this. The whole taco rhetoric pisses me off so much I swear to god. He chickens out to manipulate the stock market. On purpose. What he's learned so far is that he can do whatever the fuck he wants.
"Learning the hard way" implies that he's the one suffering. He doesn't care about anyone who can't give him a million on the spot.
You don’t even have to be that smart to be the US President, that’s what your advisors are supposed to be for. That was evident in Trump’s first term when he surrounded himself with at least semi competent people. When you surround yourself with a bunch of sycophantic morons, this is the type of shit you get. Not to mention the whole revenge tour thing.
You want a president who’s wise above all else, because that person will know how to make up for their deficiencies with a good cabinet, good advisors, and good policies.
Trump is neither smart nor wise.
