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!

HE'S A FUCKING MULTI-BILLIONAIRE!!!! And now he just gets to walk away. What a fucking joke, our system is.
He lies about his wealth. We all know he’s really worth about tree fitty.
He's almost certainly back into at least multi-millionaire status. The reason is that he's been grifting the hell out of the office of the President. The cryptocoin, for example, was money in his pocket; yes, it crashed in price almost immediately, but that was already after he took their money. Or perhaps more likely, had it as a method of backdoor bribes.
If he's not at least a multi-millionaire after all that grift, then I have to wonder just how bad he is at this.
He wasn't trying to make money on the crypto itself, he knew that was a dog. He owns the trading platform, so he made money on every trade when they bought in, and then made money on every trade as they panic-sold it on the way down.
That little scam reportedly made him over a billion. Then he did it again with Melania crypto.
Tree(50)?
Upvote for reference, but my god that number...
He was deep in the hole when he was first elected. Being in the government has been very profitable for him. A recent report had his businesses already profiting over $3.4 billion since his most RECENT inauguration.
Isn't like most of that crypto?
Some of it.
Just doing its job, protecting the rich and oppressing you.
