Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Summary

Seventy days into his second term, Donald Trump faces growing internal turmoil and public backlash. Allies report he’s making late-night angry calls, upset over negative press and policy setbacks.

The "Signalgate" scandal and GOP resistance to new tariffs have shaken his administration. Trump blames National Security Adviser Mike Waltz for a messaging blunder and resents criticism of his deportation efforts.

His attempts to end wars in Gaza and Ukraine have faltered.

Republicans fear economic fallout from his trade policies, raising concerns about recession and inflation.

Trump has any sense of reality?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 hours ago

It will end up like brexit. Most people who voted for him will stay in the sect no matter what. When enough people finally switch to hand power back to the democrats it will be too late to simply reverse most of what Trump did and slow rebuilding will start. If Democrats elect competent leaders they will actually fix things. If not they will just continue working with what Trump left for them (like with Starmer)

Will no one rid us of this turbulent moron?

Genuinely something I've wondered about for a while. I guess he's got some regular golf competitors? As long as he wins tremendously

The only hope I have is a coup.

Impeachment isn't enough

Beaucoup de coupes

The voices in his dementia-addled brain don't count as "friends".

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 hours ago

"Friends": people who agree with whatever you say and laugh at you after the call?

[–] [email protected] 38 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I'm supposing this dumbfuck really thought he was going to get praise for this?

The problem is that he's been safely ensconced in a bubble his entire fucking life. He's Patient Zero when it comes to rich white failsons failing upwards, FFS.

He thought he could make more fake deals and get good press, but the nihilist tech bro backed death cult had other ideas.

"Everything is everyone else's fault! Why can't everyone see that my way is better for me and my interests?!?!?!"

Sorry donnie, we do see it.

And the media is playing softball with him. This is the media not calling him out on all his bullshit.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 14 minutes ago

The owners of the media are not on our side.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

I thought he would’ve been impeached by now. I am a bit surprised he hasn’t been.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 14 minutes ago (1 children)

By the Republicans? Pull the other one, it's got bells on.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 minutes ago

By anyone. It's not like democrats were particularly interested.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago

Well he has been twice so they tried I guess.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 7 hours ago

Exactly. If we actually had a real oppositional "liberal media", they'd be tearing this asshat a new one for his dumbfuckery.

The orange cunt would have an aneurysm if only the "Press" actually treated him fairly. Instead they sane wash his bullshit, and tiptoe around him without ever using the words "Liar", "convicted felon" or "rapist"..... The press have never treated anyone so favorably, and still he whines and cries like a stuck little pig. He gets $1 billion free publicity every single day. Fuck him with a cactus. No lube ! Edit: And fuck the press! They are responsible for Drumpf!

MSM heavily benefited from trump being center of attention, and most of them are owned by conservatives anyways. just like fb, youtube, reddit right wing gaffes drives traffic.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 hours ago

Time to make their actions criminal imo, although that is just a pipedream currently. They are all traitors.
