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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

Yeah I mean Trump wants to run in 2028, why would he endorse someone else?

He might endorse his own family if he doesn't run himself. All the benefits, none of the work.

[–] artyom@piefed.social 5 points 56 minutes ago (2 children)

Don't think he cares about his family. He wants the glory for himself. But it's a good guess.

I can see Trump Jr. running on a explicit platform of "I will let my dad live in his bunker in the WH basement and make all the decisions"

Which one? Cokey McSniffles or the dumb one?

[–] Stormy@thelemmy.club 1 points 25 minutes ago (1 children)

No, eric is the ugly one.

I do like how we all know the one with a vagina isn't even in the realm of possibilities for them.

[–] 13igtyme@startrek.website 1 points 2 minutes ago

They're all the ugly ones.

[–] theparadox@lemmy.world 1 points 52 minutes ago

I think it depends on which family member and how recently he has taken his meds.

[–] Zephorah@discuss.online 1 points 35 minutes ago

Dear god. Junior is going to run. That’s the 7 in this range of possibilities.

Can we FUCKING FINISH THIS ELECTION FIRST BEFORE WE TALK ABOUT 2028?

[–] NekoKoneko@lemmy.world 3 points 9 minutes ago

Oh man, no, 2026 is already in the bag for Democrats, we got the House and Senate - no need to even vote anymore, just take it easy and enjoy the 2028 race!

I do like his pope-killing record but that's about it.

[–] Kirp123@lemmy.world 8 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

He does seem to kill everything he touches. He went and endorsed Orban and he immediately lost the election LMAO.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 6 points 1 hour ago

Only the one person that would least be missed seems to be immune.

[–] ExtremeDullard@piefed.social 25 points 1 hour ago

JD sold whatever soul he possessed for power, but he remains a terminal loser.

[–] Eat_Your_Paisley@lemmy.world 1 points 26 minutes ago

Little Marco is the heir no one likes JD

[–] Triumph@fedia.io 4 points 1 hour ago

He's posturing by saying "they're all very good" in order to get the most people to pay him off.

[–] vegeta@lemmy.world 1 points 40 minutes ago

Better get to work JD
