A few of Trump's donors gave his campaign money almost every day.

    To be fair, a light slap on the wrist is a lot more impactful with such tiny hands.

      Why are the same people who tend to be so passionate about diversity and inclusion the first to attack and make fun of people they don’t like for their physical attributes?

        You know nothing of this person nor their beliefs.

        He or she is a random commenter in a random post on a random server.

        Also, it’s because Trump is an asshole. There’s something in the Bible about “an eye for an eye,” so I’m not sure where your holiness is coming from.

        Tbh Id say its cause his hands arent even that abnormal - but he’s insanely emotionally immature, so people try and exploit that via making fun of him to highlight to the population how unfit he is to run a country. And obviously it works cause he isnt used to anything but a team of ass kissers following his wallet

        May I remind you one of the first things Trump did during his 2016 presidential campaign was publicly mock a disabled reporter. https://youtu.be/PX9reO3QnUA

        For 1, your statement is just straight up false. People who care about inclusion are not the first to attack people’s physical attributes.

        For 2, are people losing their civil rights and protections just for having tiny hands or orange skin or bad haircuts? Then it’s not the same as race, gender and sexuality is it

          The orange skin thing isn’t natural. He does that to himself. Oompah-Loompa has been a popular look for the American bourgeoisie for a while.

        They were not referencing some random physical attribute. Trump’s supposedly tiny hands is literally a funny meme - https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/donald-trumps-small-hands

        You’re on the internet. Where everything is mocked by faceless trolls on every side of the equation. People who mock Biden for his age seem to forget that Trump is only three years younger. Not exactly a young spry chicken either lol. Still that doesn’t make the jokes any less funny when people laugh at either old cuck for stumbling. Just retire grandpa - let the next generation take over for Christ’s sake.

        Learn to lighten up and laugh. To quote Elbert Hubbard “Do not take life too seriously - you will never get out of it alive”

          2020: Biden is too old to be president!

          2024: Trump (now one year older than Biden in 2020) better get elected this time!

    If you’re going to link something that is behind a paywall, at least give us the cliff notes so we know what it’s trying to say.

      Donald Trump dinged by federal regulators for accepting ‘apparently excessive contributions’

      If you google the headline verbatim, you can often find a link to an identical article that is not pay-walled. I linked one that isn’t pay-walled. If you use Firefox, I recommend the “Bypass Paywalls Clean” add-on.

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.

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.
