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!

Trump talked a lot about how China was eating our lunch... Here's a video of him defending American jobs
He's not pushing "America First". He's just saying "America First". He has no intention, should he somehow come to power again, on acting on it. He won't act meaningfully on anything he says.
We know this because this has happened before. He ran on hating brown people and queer people, but when he became president in spite of the fact that he got significantly fewer votes than his opponent, the only meaningful thing he did was massively increase the deficit and give that money to rich people, to the tune of twenty thousand dollars from every man, woman, and child in the country. And also sell state secrets to comparatively minor regional powers in the east. And we mustn't forget the million-plus excess deaths he presided over because he seems to legitimately think that things he doesn't understand can't be understood so just say whatever and let the corpses fall where they will.
The news outlets who report on this shit know this, but as far as I can tell they don't want to report on any of it because they're worried idiots will be mad at them. We need a better way, but before we can have a better way, we need to smite this movement. Nothing good can possibly come of it for anybody but Trump himself. Even his followers only stand to lose.
Yeah the suckers and losers are the ones supposed to take the profit hit. (/s)
Hypocrisy is a tool of the GQP
I think we've missed the point. "America first" is self referential for him. If a job he needs done can be done cheaper, that's the right thing to do; that's his America, and he's the top American (because anyone who thinks otherwise is a criminal or demon, or doesn't count for any other reason he comes up with on the fly). So if it gets him ahead, that's by definition "American."
