I'm struggling to think of a more prolific loser in the annals of human history.

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!

Media criticism: All of these would also work
"Embarrassing Shambles as All acts for trump backed celebration publicly cancel"
"All acts for Freedom250 make scathing posts cancelling their appearance, once they learn Trumps involvement. No choice but to scrap the mess. "
"The net is now making meme Posters showing acts crossed out, that have cancelled their Freedom250 performance, over the presidents involvement. WH gives up and cancels. "
What's the difference? They put 4547 accurately in the interaction - the Performers used agency, not 4547. 4547 is the lower, the acted-upon. The rephrasing chosen - often makes 4547 the 'actor' the 'agent' - when he is not. It continues a subtle myth that 4547 is the protagonist in the daily story they tell. This only helps him. It is a very subtle, but it makes it very difficult for those still caught in the lie, to see it.
He's in his second term and can't be re-elected legally.
Why does he still need to hold rallies?
Small pp
Ego stroke
I'd prefer he get a regular one.
Because he's not leaving office in 2028.
He doesn't think so anyway.
Yeah, but still...why the rallies if he isn't planning to leave no matter what?
He'd need support from the military and his ICE goons to stay in office, not the general public.
Assume the man wants his balls fondled at all points in time and everything he does makes sense. This is ball fondling
A grand total of 2 brain cells will be in attendance... amazing!
he cancelned the concert no artist would perform? sounds like this is Fyre Crack House edition
When I was in fourth grade, in the morning, we would sit and listen to Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the USA” from an old tape deck in lieu reciting of the pledge. It felt more meaningful, and I suppose that’s why our teachers chose it as the daily patriotic ritual.
I like to think someone like Lee who possesses the heart of a musician that could create so much meaning in song, perhaps just can’t see past his own career, or through the thin veneer of simplistic patriotism, or that he simply can’t turn down his fans or an adoring crowd. He certainly doesn’t seem to be short on cash, and he performs at Trump events for free (which is probably why Trump likes him). And, he doesn’t seem to have the angry, bitter, and resentful spirit that has gripped the modern conservative movement.
Just what the hell is it that can make people blissfully embrace what Trump claims to represent while somehow letting the very real horror of what he does pass right through them?
EDIT: I suppose Trump ruining childhoods shouldn’t be that much of a surprise. :/
He’s dumb as rock.
The lyrics to the chorus of his signature song are “I’m proud to be an American, where at least I know I’m free.”
Not “…in America, where…”, which would make grammatical sense.
I feel like I remember watching something about him on Some More News, or Last Week Tonight and how he's always been a bit of an asshole under it all and is always willing to make a quick buck.
It was on last week, dude is a maga chud. Even trying to break into Canada and push the far right shit there.
There it is, thanks!
He's 83 years old.
If you've ever been around 83 year olds, you'll know they're eager to perform any old song from their youth at any random time. They also have no intention of understanding any of contemporary politics, customs or even the current situation.
I love that about music. It's the first thing we learn and the last thing we forget.
