The U.S. president is failing crucial foreign policy tests and his diplomacy suggests he will likely fail more

How can people write such bullshit? Trump’s mental illness has been on full display for over a decade now. How can anybody watch this guy ramble incoherently for just a few minutes and not conclude that he is completely insane? I’m so sick of the mental acrobatics people keep performing to sanewash him.

He’s accountable to Putin.

Everything he’s doing is in service to him. Trump is a Russian operative. It all makes sense in that light.

Nah… Don’t believe Chump’s actually accountable to Putain…

Chump is same type of lunatic that Putain is and, therefore, Chump’s goals for himself and for the world just happen to align almost perfectly with Putain’s…

That and the fact Chump worships Putain and leaders like Putain.

Chump’s not doing these things cause he’s accountable. He’s doing them simply because he wants them…

🤷‍♂️ 🤷‍♂️ 🤡 🤡

These stories constantly operate on the assumption that Trump is a rational actor with reasonable goals. Neither is remotely true. He’s a fucking idiot who rarely fully understands what he’s doing and Russia and oligarchs are easily working his ego and pushing him to destabilize everything.

If he’s not mentally ill he should stop acting like every camera his own show where he has to be shocking every 5 mins or people will change channels.

He’d be failing if it weren’t intentional.

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!
