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.

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!

Could also be due to his absolutely ridiculous mug shot. He looks like a 5 year old crying and pouting because he has to stand in the corner for doing something bad. From the picture you can easily understand why aids testified under oath that Trump threw food on the wall. You cannot help but wonder: Is President Crybaby going to launch nuclear weapons because he didn't get his ice cream?

He raised over 7 million dollars from that mugshot in the 48 hours after it was released. Laugh all you want, but his cult was buying up "boohoo I'm so persecuted" merch by rascal load.
That's a good thing. The more that Crybaby Trump's humiliating picture is out there, the better. And that is another 7 million dollars that will not be used to help elect Republicans
Yeah, it would suck if it's going to fund campaigns, but it'll only be used for Trump, and largely probably legal funds.
Who knows if it's really 7 million. He has a habit of inflating numbers.
Also, if the rumors he doesn’t drink are true they he absolutely was crying with those red eyes of his.
I mean he probably didn't sleep great the night before either. You have to think that underneath all the bullshit and bravado he is actually concerned about facing repercussions even if he firmly believes he did nothing wrong.
As foolish as he may be, we also know he is a selfish, self-centered egomaniac who is concerned for his own well being above everything else in the entire universe. So I bet he is high-key stressing on this behind the scenes.
oh he was absolutely crying himself to sleep. possibly also drinking himself to sleep.
I think he uses and constantly references the fact he doesn't drink to cover up or justify his use of other "legal" prescription substances like amphetamines in his own mind.
I could be wrong, but I think the whole "I'm straight-edge" act is total bullshit, and stems from his superiority complex.
I suspect if he's not actually using substances for anything, it's because he ignored his doctor's warnings and nearly died because of it.
Vis a vis, alcohol, his liver is probably shot to hell. He's simply got too many other habits that are adjacent to drugs and alcohol to have never had any.
He’s definitely done a ton of coke. Pretty sure all assistants have confirmed that from back in the apprentice.
I feel like he lost some weight too. Maybe the stress is finally getting to him?
People lose weight from stress? How lucky of them, I gain weight from stress. Double bad.
He probably trained his expression all night before!
This is what weak people think a strong person should look like.
With every ridiculous thing he's done, I'd forgotten about him throwing food at the wall. Thanks for the reminder! I needed a good laugh!
Intentionally choosing the Kubrick stare because he thinks it makes him look innocent says a lot about the characters he sympathizes with and it's kind of terrifying.
I think he's trying to mind control the guy taking the picture.
