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.

Petulant narcissist answers criticism with threats of violence.
Call it a hunch. But I doubt it would be the first time he's hit a woman.
https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2016/10/24/documenting-trumps-abuse-of-women
The part of the book that caused the most controversy concerns Trump’s divorce from his first wife, Ivana. Hurt obtained a copy of her sworn divorce deposition, from 1990, in which she stated that, the previous year, her husband had raped her in a fit of rage. In Hurt’s account, Trump was furious that a “scalp reduction” operation he’d undergone to eliminate a bald spot had been unexpectedly painful. Ivana had recommended the plastic surgeon. In retaliation, Hurt wrote, Trump yanked out a handful of his wife’s hair, and then forced himself on her sexually. Afterward, according to the book, she spent the night locked in a bedroom, crying; in the morning, Trump asked her, “with menacing casualness, ‘Does it hurt?’ ” Trump has denied both the rape allegation and the suggestion that he had a scalp-reduction procedure. Hurt said that the incident, which is detailed in Ivana’s deposition, was confirmed by two of her friends
"Does it hurt?"
We saw the same contempt during the debate when he said, "I'm talking now. Does that sound familiar?" What an utter psychopath.
Trump has denied both the rape allegation and the suggestion that he had a scalp-reduction procedure.
And I bet dumpster donnie is more annoyed by the scalp reduction coming to light...
I mean he’s been found guilty of raping at least one woman… so he’s easily hit one already.

Would be wild to watch Michelle's Secret Service detail beat up Donald's Secret Service detail.
It'd probably be more like:
Michelle's detail: "Can't you just tell him to sit down?"
Donald's detail: "yeah don't worry about it. we're used to it by now, skinny Jonas over there can hold him in a seat one handed, just put a big Mac on the table and he'll forget all about this in like 30 seconds"
Theyre eating the bigmacs, theyre eating the mcchickens, theyre eating the fast food of the people that live there.
I suspect both details would detain him. Like, you have to be an idiot to bring any secret service to attack someone protected by the secret service. It’s on par with attempting to counterfeit around them
It would be wild to watch Michelle walk Trump up and down the streets.
Even better is the fact that Trump's Secret Service detail would likely be... shall we say "less than motivated" to protect their charge
I don't know about that. Remember that the Secret Service "lost" all their text messages from Jan 6th.
I want to believe they "lost" them because they called him names
Achh, good point. I'd forgotten about that
So a friend works in a building in DC that also has some USSS offices. They said that a lot of them are Trumpers. I had the same thought as you when the news came out years ago that he had bankrupted their budget. Friend said no, they still love him.

They're still mad that they got called out for calling her a man and an ape. They're disgusting people
It's utterly repulsive to me that, regardless of the elections outcome, this walking shit stain is getting Secret Service protection paid for by the tax payers.
I'm not American, but I feel for you all. As far as I'm concerned, it should be like Witness Protection; if you commit a crime (or are in others ways a total piece of shit) while protected, that protection can and will be removed like they did with Henry Hill when he kept committing crimes.
People surprised when trump says something absolutely on brand for trump?
"He was never nice to the Obamas," said The Hill opinion writer Tara Dublin. "He also looks & sounds like he died last week but no one wants to tell him."
Looks, sounds, and by all accounts smells like he died last week.
Already showing us how he wants to protect women.
Whether they like it or not
"She said bad about me!"
Goodest wordness there, talk-weller'
Even if he was able to get a cheap shot in when her back was turned, my money is on her with an easy first round knock-out.
Oh, definitely. Even beyond age, cardio, strength, etc. imagine how much she hates him after all the death threats to her and her family. She’d even have the pure cussedness advantage. I could see a full blown Waffle House 3am level ass whooping coming his way.

"Metaphorically" doesn't save him from yet again being a massive piece of shit...
I just saw a commercial for Logan Paul v Mike Tyson.
I'd rather see Michelle slap the orange off turdburglars face.
I just saw a commercial for Logan Paul v Mike Tyson.
Wait. I thought Paul cancelled the fight?
Edit: Dude! Sweeeeeeeeeet! My night just got better.

trump stuns
Does he?
Ok, Trump is an awful human. No doubt.
But can we also agree that the article's title is misleading? It seems clear to me that he didn't literally mean "hit her", but rather a political hit/verbal diarrhea.
Articles like these - and people quick to share them - make Democrats/left-leaning institutions look like they are grasping at straws. It's too bad because there are so many important, real topics that don't receive as much attention.
He's a rapist and pedophile, that's enough for me to hate him for life. Every other thing he says or does is just icing on the cake.
He's a supposed politician.
This isn't grasping at straws.
He is speaking to his base. His base... whom are lucky if they can rub two brain cells together for a spark... Are not going to take this as some political rhetoric.
Unless you think she has already physically hit him, it's painfully clear from the context that this is a political hit.
Your post just reads as a justification for being fooled by the title, or a justification for being outright dishonest. We can't shut on trump supporters for being so detached from reality while trying to pretend it's reasonable to believe he was talking about actually physically hitting her here. It's equally as detached from reality.
Absolutely. There's so many legit reasons to vote for Harris over Trump. This type of article is just noise.

His entire existence is in poor taste.
I don’t think anyone is allowed to hit former First Ladies. Much like former presidents actually.
Altho I could make an exception. Barack would tear him a new one in a ~~celebrity~~ former potus death match
I don't think you're allowed to physically attack anyone at all, could be wrong though. Except in sports, any sport.
I doubt anyone is stunned by this
Michelle would fuck you up Cheetos Mussolini.
Fat old Hamburgler vs ripped, brook-no-shit woman.
Good luck with that.
Michelle would fuck him up. Trump is feeble.
Seeing him trying to get into that truck...I bet Biden had a good laff about that one...
