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 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.
  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 another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. 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.
  4. 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 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!

Whenever did he look "unbeatable" on the economy? This guy bankrupted casinos. He is the hallmark of economic incompetence.

He just bitched about the Biden economy over and over. He had no ideas or policies, just empty promises that he, "wouldn't have let this happen."

And the fucking stupidest thing of all?

Under Biden, we had an economy that was the envy of the world. These knuckledraggers voted for dumbfuck donnie anyway.

Nobody in the rest of the world who cared about the lives of the average American was that envious. Between housing costs, medical costs, and food costs life seemed really tough, compared to pre-COVID times. From the EU, it looked like all of the indicators for the wealthy were fine, but not for the people.

We have a guy in Canada whose entire platform is "current guy sucks".

He barely lost this latest election, so it's got to play well with some voters. George Carlin was right about averages.

He didn’t have a plan he just hated theirs. Apparently that’s enough.

He had the illusion of being unbeatable to his followers, all of us who read and actually critically think know he is just the worlds best conman.

[–] CheeseNoodle@lemmy.world 3 points 20 hours ago

Honeslty he's not even a very good conman he just also happened to be born rich which gives him a lot of free credibility to a certain kind of person.
