Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
“My own morality” says the child raping baby killer that Epstein called the worst person he’s ever met
Imagine the devil calling you evil
And it not being a compliment
Well... that's not reassuring.
I'll take "Things a dictator says" for 800, Alex.
Considering he has no morality, I guess that means "unbridled powahhhhh!!!"
His what?
I’m not looking to hurt people
Yeah, that's a lie. You do and you're loving it. You can't be a mass murderer and say that you don't want to hurt people
Most gangsters and bullies talk like that.
What's crazy isn't the headline, it's his rationale. "Because that’s what I feel is psychologically needed for success." You are going to begin a conflict with allies (every day less so, but still) because of Trump's personal feelings and psychological needs. Only a dictator and those that enable dictators would be ok with this.
The fact that he thinks this way isn't the truly bad part - it's that nobody in the government is willing to oppose his mad whims, no matter how dangerous and stupid.
I mean based on what I’m seeing daily he’s not wrong.
Unfortunately this is the most right he has been
Back in the real world, Trump has very little morality to constrain himself, but other social factors surprisingly do still constrain him, even if he’d never admit it.
The human race is so fucked
Antisocial Personality Disorder with Narcissistic traits.
Jesus fuck. We have the worst kind of mental illness in a dude with power, drunk on that power.
What morality?
Exactly.
Basically no restraints, eh.
his “own morality”.
From a pedophile rapist and convicted felon.
Then everything is fucked unless someone does something about the orange turd because that child rapist has no morality. None whatsoever.
Can someone please take care of the diapered, dementia-ridden orange shitsack please? Also, rescue that cat he's got stapled to his head. It's starting to look mangy...
"It’s the only thing that can stop me,”
Famously the type of phrase said by the protagonist in the movies and not the villains.
Jesus christ, how much blackmail does this asshole have? is he blackmailing half the worlds billionaires? How many names are really in the epstien files?
I think you misunderstand his relationship with billionaires. Trump is an asset to billionaires. They have never had it as good as they have it under his administration. Removal of all regulation over their industries, dismantling of federal oversight and complete legal tax exemptions.
And all for what they consider pocket change as bribes to him.
“I’m not looking to hurt people.”
"Why do you make me hit you, baby?"
This is the guy MAGA wanted. They project their personal power fantasies and approve of him acting on his own hatreds, whims and impulses the way they dream of.
Despite desperately wishing this guy would encounter some fucking consequences... I kinda feel like hes not really wrong?
Like what does it matter what the law says if its not applied and there are no penalties?
He doesn’t have any so we are f’d
He's above American law, why international law would restrict him?
Read that as mortality, I thought I was some supervillain onion piece. Truth is not too far off though
Listen hear me out...
Can we just have a newsletter of "trump says" instead of reporting every fucking thing his geriatric mind spews 3 times a day? While it is important to be aware of the context of the crazy; at this point it isn't real news ffs! he's basically weekend at bernies at this point.
He called it 'things and elements' instead of 'valuable minerals'
Well on the upside, every single jackass who used to stop me and wanna argue politics doesn't even look me in the eye anymore.
FYI, the technical term for a mind like his is "crackpot". Why anyone cares what he says is beyond me.
Because he's probably the single most powerful man in the world right now. He can send the US military anywhere in the world on a whim.
I’d love to drink that bottle of champagne in my fridge soon
Huh.
Sounds like how kings work.
Okay, then why does he continue to fail so spectacularly?
