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!

Summary

Trump claimed Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum agreed to “stop Migration through Mexico” after a call, declaring it a win for U.S. border security.

Sheinbaum quickly refuted this, stating Mexico opposes closing borders and prioritizes collaboration.

The exchange drew mockery online, with critics comparing it to Trump’s past unfulfilled claim that Mexico would pay for a border wall.

Social media users ridiculed Trump for exaggerating the conversation’s outcome and manufacturing a crisis with Mexico over proposed tariffs he’s vowed to implement upon taking office.

I’m already tired of these “Trump mocked / slammed / blasted / whatever” posts. My God the coming years will be insufferable

[–] masterbaexunn 22 points 1 week ago (1 children)

One morning well wake up to his obituary

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

At this point I can't even take that for granted.

[–] GraniteM 1 points 1 week ago

I wouldn't even be surprised.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You mean like the last 8+ years?

Yeah ... Was really hoping we were coming to a close on that but here we are

[–] GladiusB 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He looks like he has aged and lost weight. Which might be better for his longevity.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Doesn't he look tired to you?

[–] GladiusB 1 points 1 week ago

All the time. His hair looks thin as hell too.

“Eviscerated” will be coming back. Why.

[–] thisphuckinguy 96 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Fuck the formalities—all world leaders need to shit on him on the record. He needs to be embarrassed hard. Maybe he’ll get so pissed off that he shits himself and gives up the ghost.

[–] Maggoty 39 points 1 week ago (3 children)

They need to do it so hard that Magats realize he's the laughing stock of the world. Imagine a world in which American news couldn't avoid running stories about how world leaders literally shun Trump. Would we abandon the entire world order? or would the American Oligarchs demand the 25th Amendment be used?

[–] gex 34 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He was laughed at at the UN

His reaction? "No they didn't", his cult believed his word over their own lying eyes.

[–] Maggoty 10 points 1 week ago

Oh they may have said they believed him. But they knew. And being a one time incident it's easy to dismiss.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Honestly I think it would play into the "Trump is fighting the elites" narrative far too well, and would probably be celebrated. "America is so great we don't even need those other countries, how dare they insult our President for life?"

[–] Maggoty 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Nah, Americans hate weakness. Just straight up dunking on him whenever they have to talk about America would work.

[–] TrickDacy 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What do them sissy fereners know bout strength?? /s

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

They just need to point how weird he is and how he seems to lack energy.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

they will do that the moment he stops being president. just like Nixon and Bush.

[–] cabron_offsets 23 points 1 week ago

I hope Sheinbaum humiliates him.

[–] WraithGear 2 points 1 week ago

Of course they did.
