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!

No, he's just dumb. He's always been this way. His whole nepo baby life just revolved around people telling him "yes"
He has always been this way but he's more this way now. I was always skeptical about the "Trump's losing it" stories because Trump has always been an idiot and a narcissist who can't distinguish between his fantasies and reality. But now it's undeniable that he seems more confused, out of touch and unpredictable.
I'm still not seeing any difference to anything since his escalator ride in 2015. At most, you can tell when he's not on drugs like that one UN speech.
No. Just look at an interview from, say, 2010. He’s coherent. An idiot, a rapist, sure, but he’s not the babbling demented mess he is now. He’s not just dumb, his neurons are peacing out.
If you don't see signs of his dementia, then you too need to be checked for it. Yes, he's not the brightest, but his latest spews have been particularly bad and getting worse.
He can say "man, woman, person, camera, TV." What more could you possibly want from the person leading the biggest military in the history of the world?
A respectable golf game and a toilet made of solid gold.
"Respectable golf game"? Don't you know that Dear Orange Asshole once shot a 17? Impossible you say? The ball bounced out of the hole and rolled all the way to the next hole, thereby beating Kim Jong Il's record of 18 holes in one in a row.
There’s even a book about it.

The other day I happened to watch a video of him speaking for a minute in 2019, and no, it's night and day compared to now. Sure, even then he had trouble staying on topic, but he had a mental clarity about him that was more recognizable as a speech than a ramble. He's slurring most of his words nowadays, you didn't see that back then. 2019 Trump wouldn't get lost and find himself on the roof of the White House...
Do you not remember him yelling from the balcony of the White House when he had Covid?
Right so he has permanent Covid brain fog, except just caused by an old age illness instead of covid.
