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've always heard that Trump is charismatic but I really can't see it, he talks like a dementia patient and behaves like a toddler.
People thought Hitler was charismatic as well. I think the thing is that these kinds of people are only charismatic to a certain subset of people. Hateful narcissistic morons mostly, and then probably because they see themselves in them.
If you've heard that Trump was charismatic, you've been listening to morons.
Also, he's a child rapist.
He is charismatic, just like Hitler was. It's not inherently a good thing.
Hey, hay, hay, that's a SERIAL child rapist. Know your presidents.
You're right. Details matter.
He is, but we're not the audience.
He clearly is charismatic - the results speak for themselves. I'm with you though, even way back in 2015 all I could see is an obvious conman.
Child rapist. Autocorrect changed it to conman, but you clearly meant child rapist.
I think he used to have dumbass sleazy used car salesman charisma at some point, it started to break down sometimes around 2017 and at this point he is drifting off of momentum and cult think.
He isn't charismatic .... his money is ... or at least the idea of him having actual money that he might (but never) share is charismatic
He's more of a vector for cerebral hemorrhage ... every time any human gets close to him, people lose their minds and think he's actually important
