Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. 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.
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.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
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.

It's kind of amazing how Trump perfectly represents every type of narcissism, and there doesn't even seem to be other dimensions to his personality except narcissism:
So yeah, this is what a narcissistic sociopath is. Some of us knew this before 2015 and so none of this is surprising. It's just so so exhausting.
It's like that point in a movie where you figured it how it ends and just want it to be over already, but it's not over, and it's your life, and also the movie might decide to kill you or kidnap you.
Same person who said
Well, that's OK, that's what you should be doing. I mean, it's a good thing for him to sign a trade deal. If you can get a deal with China, you should do that, right?
Keep tariffing your own citizens then.
Wow! He really doesn't want Westerners to buy Chinese electric cars that are much more affordable than the ones currently available.
Every modern capitalist is either a scammer or a moron.
Why choose when you could have both
He isn't thinking about that, his feefees got hurt. It's as simple as that. Countries have avoided tariffs just by complimenting him.
And if that doesn't work, a squillion percent!
What a bell end.
Typical abuser behaviour. What do they have left when the victim decides to break the cycle and leave the relationship? They double down on what they've been doing so far. More abuse.
Either the victim caves and goes back, or it reminds them of all the reasons they left in the first place and guarantees they never return. We're choosing the second one.
For a guy that’s always crowing about making deals, he sure seems unhappy about people making deals.
I'm tired boss.
Tell him to pound sand.
Oh no! Anyways... We are gonna make a deal with China even harder now. Loser! This man is the deranged nepo baby of a robber baron and a whore. Lock him up! Lock him up! Lock him up!
Do the fuck you want, tariffs will be imposed and removed and imposed again without any logic or respect. Just remember that tariffs are a taxe on us citizens.
Come join the EU already.
Then FUCKING DO IT, DON! DO IT.
Do it, you fat orange pussy. You still don't understand what tariffs are.
That's nice. Anyways...
It’s going to be another good day to buy on the stock market Monday. At this rate I’ll be about to retire a few years early.
These tariffs are more volatile than anything we had ever before, everybody says so. I guess we need a realtime service that list current tariffs.
