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!

Fkn lol. I grew up in nyc in the 80s. Something snapped in this cunt way back when. He’s always been a fucking clown. New Yorkers cannot comprehend how this traitor shitcunt managed to amass his flock of sheep, our acknowledgment of their profound fucktardedness notwithstanding.
I'm not from NY, but I too was paying attention back in the day and can confirm, the Orange Turd has always been a deranged, self-absorbed, shit stain of a human being.
I don't know how big an impact celebrity is, but if you watch almost any media from the 80s or 90s you'll eventually come across a DT reference, either the man himself or something about him, and it's usually fawning. Like I said, I don't know how much a thing like that is representative of how people actually thought/think about him, but it feels like it helped.
Yeah outside of NYC the media slobbed his knob constantly. The motherfucker makes a cameo in Home Alone 2 like it’s some incredible once-in-a-lifetime experience to run into him. But if you search for articles, there’s negative stuff about him - just most people write that off as like “activist journalism” or whatever
It’s America, everyone worships the rich people
Of course, when I'm rich everyone should worship me ti because I do all the rich people stuff.
Soon enough I'll work my way up to CEO and catch my big break. Then all those people in high-school that I never interacted with will be like oh no I shouldn't have not cared or something.
The media did indeed hype him up for many years, but at least some of us saw past that and realized that he wasn't all he was cracked up to be.
