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!

This dude is batshit fucking crazy.
While true, he's also a fucking manipulative liar.
I don't for one single second believe that he honestly believes what he's saying. He just knows full well you repeat a lie to make it true so if he says it enough his cult will simply accept it as reality.
Also this is teams and teams of people, from different nations, organizations, all working on his messaging. Don’t for a second forget this is dark enlightenment, heritage foundation, maybe Russia too, he’s a puppet and someone put in his place from that same group of mixed but related goals will be either the same or worse
It's the Golden Age of corporate welfare, the farmers are going bankrupt due to his policies and the AgroCorps are getting them for pennies on the dollar.
He truly is surpassing his goals and it is greatness.
For the corps.
He's telling the truth and lying at the same time.
Look at ICE, bigger than ever, that's an amazing goal and greatness if you want to punish and control the country.
You see that S&P? It’s so big!
One of his people basically admitted on TV..yesterday? I think? That they feed trump ~~fake~~ flattering numbers to keep him happy.
*edited for correction of accidental misinformation.
Id like to look that up but I don't think it is enough to go off of. Do you know anyone who was on the show or what show it was? Maybe even just the channel might help. Searching Trump fake numbers basically returns the result: yeah
Sorry for the delay, It was something I only saw in passing so I was not entirely right on what i said, They admitted to giving trump flattering numbers, not false numbers, which slightly increased the difficulty of trying to find it.

I will also edit my previous point to correct my mistake.
They feed him only good, happy numbers, so he thinks everything is going wonderfully. Hes basically still living in the sycophantic yes man bubble that he has his entire life.
He sounds like Caligula declaring himself a god....
Either that, or he's smart enough to know how ignorant and batshit crazy his supporters are. I'm not sure who I blame more. Insane billionaires like Trump have always existed, it's only NOW that there are enough stupid people out there to give him unlimited power.
I blame his piece of shit supporters, after all they're the ones who handed him the keys.
I blame the stupid ppl. Selling the country out due to their own bigotry
