Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

His entire trade war with Canada and Mexico started because he thought the current trade deal (The USMCA) was a horrible deal that should have never been signed.

He's the one who signed it. The USMCA was his creation because he wanted NAFTA replaced.

Narcissists can't accept anything they don't create as legitimate. When you factor in dementia, that's a very dissatisfied narcissist. When you make him leader of the free world, that's a very unhappy world.

His base won't realise it was him either. Too long ago.

They'll ignore this so they don't look like idiots, all the while looking like idiots.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 16 points 6 days ago

fox and the other propaganda networks will never state why either.

It’s been more than 48 hours, so…

No, they'll know. They'll just say that Biden changed it some how and now it needs to be replaced

Naww... they have the attention span of dirt

This is proof that any idiot can become an American President, any.

[–] arken@lemmy.world 18 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I don't know about that -- a kind-hearted and gentle idiot would have a hard time, I think

"Mah name's Forrest, Forrest Gump, and this shit's treason."

[–] Sciaphobia@lemm.ee 5 points 5 days ago

I am not a smart man but I know what treason is.

[–] LocoLobo@lemm.ee 10 points 5 days ago

Seems more like any rich idiot can become American President

[–] Sixtyforce@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 days ago

There must be kind idiots out there. No way they'd win.
