Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

It's his all night cocaine buddy, AI memes. It was the Department of Education calls it, A1.

He and Natalie get naked, and post all this stuff together. He can't make his mushroom bloom any more, so this is better than sex for him.

He really doesn’t strike me as someone who has the capacity to guide AI picture models to get the sort of results he posts. This leads me to presume that there is some underpaid staff member, expected to work whenever Trump wants one of these, on-demand generating images for Trump to post.

What a life.

Oh, you haven't heard about Natalie Harp?

In January 2025, Trump named Harp as his executive assistant to the president. As his assistant, Harp has access to Trump's  account, and has reportedly been responsible for several controversial posts using his account. Author and  journalists and portray her as a loyal aide who is usually at the president's side. "The ever-present Natalie Harp was generally on a chair off to the side, her laptop open, head cocked, listening but never contributing unless ordered by Trump. She fulfilled, in a flash, any request, whether a 'Trump 2028' hat needed to be fetched from the merchandise room, a quick Google search, or producing the latest story from right-wing websites."[4]

She's the one that collects all this slop, and Trump posts it, or she posts it for him. She isn't just another staff member, she is truly devoted to him, and he seems to be devoted to her, too. Check her out, she very influential to him, in a very close personal way.
