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!

Yeah, I think the Nash equilibrium is to just stop negotiating with him.
There’s no upside to it. Nothing he says can be relied upon, and the playbook is obviously to make up some new problem or declare a fake emergency to violate agreements anyways.
His goals are foolish and wasteful and he’s throwing everything away to try and achieve them.
Trump 2026/2028: the US is under economic war from the entire world and this is a national emergency, we cannot have an election until they resume all normal trading with us and honor our tarrifs up the ass without any counter tarrifs.
Kinda looks like he wussed out to focus on China.
This wouldn’t be stupid if he hadn’t passed off the entire world and looked like a total moron first.
Did he wuss out, or did his billionaire donors get a call yesterday saying he was going to do this at 1pm eastern or whatever it was?
Edit: maybe it's in a signal chat and we can get a journalist added lol
He tweeted it apparently.
But I do not doubt everybody in the white house and everyone in the know was making moves earlier.
If I put my tinfoil hat on that could be why the fall suddenly stopped on Monday and even China dumping bonds didn’t fuck up the markets today
Pretty sure you only need a tinfoil hat here if you think water isn't wet.
