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!

Did he start that sentence with “nuh ah,” because that sounds like something a 6 year old would say.
He's just gonna keep repeating it...
Real narcissism at Trump's level is legit like this. They convince themselves that their version is real life, and just refuse to acknowledge anything contrary to that
South Park actually did a really good job portraying it in the Fish Sticks episode with Cartman's memory continually evolving to keep making him believe new versions where he created more and more of the joke.
trump legit believes he's succeeding, it's why he's such a good conman. It's not a con to him, all his crazy promises he thinks he'll follow thru on, and when he doest he rationalizing it as not his fault and he did everything he can.
George Castanza's lesson for lying - it's not a lie if you believe it.
If somebody told me they based George on Trump, I wouldn't even bother fact checking, it's just one of those things that makes too much sesne to doubt.
They've got too many similarities personality wise.
I am currently rewatching Seinfeld and can’t see any similarities to be honest. George is a downtrodden nerd with very little self-worth always questioning himself and his decisions, thinking of himself as a loser and often saying so himself. Trump is the opposite of that, no?
George is trump with the money stripped away
And George wasn't a nerd, he was a dork, there's a difference
you're wrong
The best liars are able to convince themselves of the lie first.
Donald’s daily affirmations “I’m a big successful boy. Many say the bigliest.”
Picture the world you want. Ask the universe. The universe will provide.
/s or maybe not.
Not enough people watch American Dad, but there's an episode where the Dad (he's from America) decides he could just decide to ignore people...
It's probably one the best C stories in American television.
And trump's story is probably going to end the same way Stan's did

gone!
I may or may not hear Stan in my head saying that everytime I stop typing a reply and just block someone.
Such a cathartic feeling to know that person just blinked out of existence from your perspective.
I remember many years ago when Scott Adams started going on about affirmations. That was the first hint of his descent into lunacy
To be fair he reads on par with a six year old, and with the dementia as bad as it is, that sounds about right.
When Hillary called him a puppet controlled by Russia his response was "no puppet, you're the puppet!"
To be exact it was even worse - "No puppet! No puppet! You're the puppet!"
I know you are but what am I?
