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!

In his inauguration speech it was like he was channeling Hitler. Really creepy.

American carnage!

What a perfect kickoff to a never-ending clownwreck of hypocritical idiot crooks.

He had balanced charisma? When?

I've been around about the same amount of time he has and I've never seen it.

Did you know that Trump is extremely popular among Republicans? He throws these rallies and hypes up crowds of supporters. He's also really big on social media and at one point had a super popular Twitter account.

I'm surprised you've been around the entire time and haven't seen any evidence of his charisma!

But like, so? They vote. They are (IMO) degenerates for sure but he does have the ability to whip them up in a way that e.g. Ted Cruz cannot.

I think balanced is the word they take issue with.

What is balanced charisma? I'm unfamiliar with the term and balanced is such a broad word it's hard to understand specifically what you mean. It almost seems like so many people hate Trump that any acknowledgement of his strengths are met with downvotes.

I can't explain what the other guy meant by balanced charisma. I was just commenting that, love or hate him, you simply cannot argue that he is balanced. The man is chaotic.

Whipping idiots into a frenzy by saying outrageous stuff isn't really charisma
