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!

Yes grampa all the yews were bad, sure. Here eat your rice crispies, go to bed already! /s
In reality they probably keep talking about that stuff way past where he falls a sleep. Bunch of racists.
This timeline is an absurd fairy tale in which the dear leader says "The sky is falling!!" and everyone believes him all the time, time after time, every time, forever.
like how you were supposed to be in an out in a week?
Must have a problem pulling out, like his father.
The idiot does not realize that every crazy shit he does gives a casus belli for others to do even more crazier shit.
Maybe, with a nuclear bomb. I hope the US doesn’t do that.
Would likely require a few more than one nuke .. Iran is pretty big
I think we have nukes now that one could level half the United States. So not sure we need more than one.
But really what happens if he does this? Trump wants to use one so badly I see him doing so before his time is up. Just want to know the consequences of him doing so?
Yes a few. It’s beyond disturbing to contemplate for a lot of reasons.
So can he. All we need is that Big Beautiful Bloodclot.
Trump is desperate, and is spewing all kinds of bullshit. Remember trump believes prosperity gospel, he literally thinks he can bend reality with his will. But of course when his lawyers or other people that work for him can't, it doesn't work. They do the work, and Trump believes it was him that did it.
Trump is actively destroying USA, and 83% of the people that voted for him, still support him.
https://edition.cnn.com/2026/04/04/politics/voter-regret-trump-2024
“very confident” in their vote. But today, that number has declined to 62%.
21% of Trump voters said they were still “confident” in their votes
Meaning that a frigging 83% of the people that voted for Trump, still support the shit he is doing!
So far as I know, there is no reason to think that Trump believes in the prosperity gospel. He wants the people who do to follow him, but I would be surprised if he believes in anything at all (including religion, philosophy, physics, and other human beings).
Actually, this one has some facts behind it. To the extent that Trump has any faith, it was shaped by Norman Vincent Peale, as the Trump family attended his church in Manhattan. Peale's theology isn't quite as "fuck poor people" as Prosperity Theology, but is just as narcissistic.
That's a fair point. The prosperity gospel came along well after Peale's time, but he probably would have liked it. He was another sociopath in the same mold.
Maybe prosperity gospel is the wrong word, but he does believe that he can bend reality with force of will.
Not the part that requires to give anything. But the part that his belief somehow comes magically true.
Agreed. It’s not prosperity gospel. It’s the fact he’s never personally suffered the negative consequences of his actions. Someone has always been in his employ to fix it for him or he’s victimized someone by not paying them.
He waves his magic wand and things go his way, problems aren’t his problem.
Even deeper than that, he has narcissistic personality disorder and literally cannot tolerate ever being wrong or being viewed as weak. He's also almost completely incapable of empathy and reduces the world around him to how everything and everyone can serve him personally
You have to understand, his supporters live in an alternate reality. They think up is down. This is a long standing problem, fox news' bullshit. We are fucked, because enough of the population believes the worst people.
But don't leave yet, you are in for some drubbing here. supporting the democrats pretending like they don't suck., None of this would have worked without that.
pretending like they don’t suck.
I only claimed they suck less, and I 100% stand by that.
They do suck less, that is their only selling point. I think that is their campaign slogan now.
Cults gonna cult
Anyone going to stop him or is it just yes men all the way to the nuke button?
Isn't it common knowledge that if Trump were to do what he's saying he's going to do tomorrow, that Iran will demolish all the drilling, refining, and shipping infrastructure they can in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, and the UAE? Iran has said they would do this. If Trump decides to do this, the oil and commodities shock that's still barely begun to hit will be 10x worse, and permanent. That's not to speak of the civilian death toll Trump and Netanyahu would cause
Honestly, the best case scenario now is the one where Israel gets nuked and Iran releases the videos of Trump raping and beating kids
It very much looks like it. Don't expect a hero at the button.
Stop the gangster king? How can they? Do you not understand the money being made here? It's a lot.
If you want to confuse your enemy, read the Art of War. If you want to confuse yourself, read the Art of the Deal. It looks like this senile madman is about to start a nuclear war.
The art of the deal was written by a ghost author that long ago came out against the president as a piece of shit. First term.
Then why hasn't that happened yet?
He's planning a speedrun of war crimes, see if he can set a record for multitude and variety at the same time
Is that poll for fucking real!?
The image of him is the only give away here. He looks like an orange racoon. He is nothing if not vain, would never post something with him looking so bad.
If it was real it would be that image of him trying to look like a big strong boy leaning over his desk in black and white.
no.
Edit: not yet
Yes he did, at least the same meaning:
https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/116351998782539414
They were asking specifically about the "poll" at the bottom
I suppose you mean post. and yes it is:
Not literally word for word, but maybe he made the above post too, this was just what came up in a search and has the same meaning.

The text in case it is deleted:
Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!
Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP
Pedo lies for pedo supporters.
The boys will be back for Fourth of July.
