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.

Trump is a poor white trash person's idea of a rich person.
Judging by how much the billionaires back him, I don't think that's true. The idea that billionaires are anything other than scammers and abusers like Trump is pretty obviously false. He just doesn't mask it.
He's a useful idiot. Back in the 90s when he was doing fast food commercials, he lost massive amounts of money. The appearance of bring a billionaire helped him become a billionaire again. The dude's a grifter and a puppet.
When Trump opens his mouth, you can SEE Putin's hand.
Why reach for Putin when American capital is right there?
Liberals, especially middle-class liberals who had a little economic privilege, will not question the system that privileged them.
So they reach for other explanations that vibe with the things they already believe. Evil foreigners, bad people doing capitalism wrong, maybe both conspiring together.
No he's right. Trump before becoming president likely wasn't a billionaire. Trump is gold leaf trash amongst his peers, he's the bullshitter his peers play golf with to make fun of. He's the stupid face for the real Billionaires with tens and hundreds of billions. A Tool of no pedigree, his grandpa dodged the draft and made it opening a whore house.
The billionaires don't see him as one of them.
Well he's getting the last laugh then because he's enriching himself by an obscene amount right now.
Not compared to Elon Musk, Bill Gates, MBS, Peter Thiel, Larry Ellison, Zuck, etc... Trump only now has Arnold (Bubba) Palmer Billions and it's not very liquid.
Billionaires back whoever they think can get them the most money. It really isn't any deeper than that.
Are they just now catching onto and parroting memes from his first term? Lemmy needs a "the right can't meme" comm if there isn't one already.
Yeah, pretty big "2016 called and wants their Trump meme back" energy from this one.
Oh no he didn't just insult my favorite congressman!
It's not even true either. Jamie Raskin is highly intelligent, and professional, and he even kept serving while undergoing cancer treatment. He's a hero.
trump on the other hand, is trash.
Yes, I would think stupid people would think a constitutional lawyer is a smart person.
I’m not sure David Ingle is too bright, though.
