Show of hands anyone who truly expected differently from this miserable attempt at an administration or from the current occupant(s) of the oval office.

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!

I’m not a brain-rotted idiot, so, obviously, yes.
Please excuse me while I go bury my hand.
It's gotta be uncomfortable being a journalist on Truth Social who only has an account there specifically so they can capture screenshots of Trump's latest dogwhistle post to publish in articles.
And doesn't Truth Social require users to upload photos of their drivers licenses in order to sign up? Or am I thinking of Parler?
I dunno if that photo id requirement is TS or Parler, but I do know that ironically enough Truth Social is a self non-federated Mastodon instance.
He should be arrested
Far too kind.
It would just be another photo op for merch and the White House Wall of Fame.
My head canon has the 'Greatest Generation' rising up from their graves ghost-like to attack the White House like a scene out of Peter Jackson's 'The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King' movie.

(Assuming the Nazi claim is true and Trump wasn't just being his normal clueless self.)

I suspect that this undead army would be happy with Trump's attack against the LGBTQ
FYI, I was talking about Allied citizens who fought in World War II, not Nazis.
I do understand that you were talking about Nazi citizens, in relation to your LGBTQ comment.

Sodomy was illegal in most of the allied countries as well, not just Nazi Germany.
I think his actions speak far louder than symbols in articles he links.
I’m sure it’s not the first, and absolutely positive, that it isn’t the last time
