A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
Rule 5: Keep it civil. 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.
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.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
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.

When I heard about this, my first thought was "if he calls it 'fake news', it is probably spot on". It did not disappoint, to say the least.
Reality has a well known liberal bias.
Conservatism is a dead end death cult predicated on tribal fear and ignorance of the unknown.
Not that I care much about what Reagan said, but if he, too said it, it's not a party political statement anymore but just common sense.
Plus, to a Republican this is like a double kick in the nuts.
edit: hmm. Tariffs aren't a bad thing per se - used sparingly and appropriately, in some situations they might make sense.
So Trump'd seen the ad three days prior to his supposed late night melt down. And he's again making large, market disruptive comments on a Friday, which will likely get toned down by Monday/Tuesday.
This just smells like more market manipulation on behalf of wealthy backers that want to fleece people further.
that's the beautiful part about trump with all this, the idiot is so far gone and stupid that anyone even remotely smart/logical has to hedge on the assumption he actually carries through with whatever bullshit he says.
the wolves are running the show right now, and they have plenty of lambs and pigs to choose from
Buddy has been cranking out AI videos of himself since he got into office and he's gonna go cry over some real audio? 🤣
This is why he can't imagine Canada's ad is anything other than AI. After all its what he does and he is a genesis. /s
Oh no, Canada doesn't get to negotiate with the most dishonest and malicious administration in US history. What a terrible loss. I'm sure there was going to be a major breakthrough any minute now if not for this. Fucking loser.
If they are “fake”… then why is he upset? They aren’t real ads. Right?
we don't take kindly to logic and sense around these parts.

Trump knows how effective advertising is in controlling what people think, that's why he's so upset about this.
you give him more credit than he's due, seriously...every single person who has ever interacted with this guy has said they were surprised with just how stupid he is.
the man is incredibly easy to manipulate, him being so easy to manipulate is the only thing that makes manipulating him difficult, because he'll just flip to whatever the next guy tells him
he saw a video that challenged the reality his bubble has built around him, and like a child this frightened/angered him so he lashes out.
Is that a real Reagan speech? I feel gross for agreeing with him on something.
The worst people in the world were still more reasonable than the fascists today: https://youtu.be/YsmgPp_nlok
I've been saying that Idiocracy is coming true, but that was set in 2505. Seeing how far we've fallen in just 45 years, there's no way we make it 500.
President Camacho was actually a good president, though.
it is impressive just how quickly the US fell to Murdoch and Co.
republicans used to have to atleast try and pretend they were complete pieces of shit, now they get to flaunt their true-selves out in the open
The king had his feelings hurt and he has no one to blame but himself.
He signed a trade agreement with Mexico and Canada during his first term which he isn't honoring anymore. And then he is annoyed that people are feeling angry at his shenanigans.
Would you look at that, the first snowflakes of the season came early! ❄️
Sure buddy. Why not. You are naked. We all see it. At this point you're just closing your ears going LALALALALA
Someone needs to put him in an old folks home.
An old folks jail.

"I saw an ad last night from Canada. If I was Canada, I'd take that same ad also," said Trump. "But I do believe that everybody's too smart for that."
Later:
"Based on their egregious behavior, ALL TRADE NEGOTIATIONS WITH CANADA ARE HEREBY TERMINATED."
I think I'll eat some butter tarts about it.
Be careful with that. Buttery males is exactly how this all started.
Damn that's a slick joke.
Or a Nanaimo bar.
Fascist Ford doing his best to help the child rapist by causing friction between us and Canada is my tinfoil hat theory.
your not going to get anything from negotiating with trump, it should be perfectly clear now how this idiot and those behind him operate. "negotiate" and you just open yourself up to another shakedown later on
maybe seeing a video of their jesus saying tariffs with allies are stupid is what some idiots in america need to wakeup
You can't reason or make deals with the great Hamberder King because his mood swings depending on how full his diaper is.
World leaders should just ignore him. His word and his signature isn't worth anything.
