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!

I have a bunch of trumper coworkers who love to talk about Trump Derangement Syndrome. For fun I've been agreeing with them but telling them Trump Derangement Syndrome means that Trump is deranged. They get quite apoplectic.
Trump is certainly deranged, but the people who really have TDS are the ones who believe a corrupt business man will "drain the swamp", a crook will restore law and order, a guy with 6 bankruptcies will somehow fix the economy, and a guy who spreads hate, blasphemes, cheats on his third wife with a porn star, brags about grabbing pussies, and is clearly too deeply involved with a major pedophile network, is somehow a christian and a leader sent by God.
There is so much contradiction and cognitive dissonance involved there, it must be some sort of mental disorder.
FWIW the trumpers that I know don't believe that any of the things you mentioned are true. They think all that stuff is a smear campaign by liberals who hate such an effective conservative leader -- that's literally what "Trump Derangement Syndrome" is to them.
Somehow, the only exception to this is the "grab 'em by the pussy" comment which they do believe he said, but they believe he was joking and said it just to piss off us snowflakes.
Watch them. When things get rough, and Stephen "PeeWee Himmler" Miller orders the rank and file to turn on their neighbors, they will.
