I’m sure I’m not the only one but I hate to listen to audio of him. His voice grates on my nerves, his thought patterns make feel like I’m getting dumber by the day every time I hear him speak, and it’s cringe worthy that a certain percentage of the population feel like he is an intelligent person.

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.

my wife continually complains that him speaking or even seeing his face makes her want to bark at the screen. Like a dog where every fiber of its being is saying bad person.
I can relate. We had our own trump-wannabe running things in Brazil for 4 years. I couldn't stand hearing his voice (or of any of his shitty sons), it made my blood boil.
Tell me more please.
I have to mute, skip, or shut off any video with him in it. He's an unbearably evil, stupid person.
Green Acres is the place to be!
Remember that republican could stop him at any time. This isn't about Trump anymore - he isn't running for re-election so disapproval has no direct effect. The only way we have in our legal framework to stop an insane authoritarian in the white house is for Congress to stop him. Their abdication of duty need to be laid at the feet of every R in office
I completely agree except for the disapproval rating. I haven’t done the math but I’d suspect that a sitting president’s disapproval rating affect tickets down the ballot. Although that may just be wishful thinking.
Maybe during midterms. Otherwise they get energized by another fraud.
I take solace in the fact that this man never knows peace and never knows happiness. Everything he has is never enough, and every moment is spent trying to protect strength he does not possess.
Poetic
Wow, that’s quite unusual for Donald.
What ??🤔🤔
I think there was implied /s
‘Epic Failure’
even freedom has a term limit.
TACO
Guys... He's not chickening out... He's checking out. He has dementia. Like, legitimately.
We are in the era of the mad king.
I did not expect that 'the king in yellow' was a reference to the tapes.

CNN anchor John Berman said Tuesday as the news broke. “We think that’s what the administration announced just moments ago.”
No one is entirely sure exactly what the Dementia in Chief is ever saying.
Macron added, “We are not going to take part in any forceful operation within a framework that does not seem clear to me.”
Others have said Trump risks “humiliation in full view of the world.”
That implies that he hasn't already been an embarrassment multiple times prior to this.
Multiple times... so far
Why would he fuck with his embarrassment streak? Not like he has the cognitive capacity to understand what's happening.
He's aced three cognitive tests, and he can tell the difference between a lion, bear, alligator, and...he thinks it was a squirrel, so that proves he's the smartest president ever.
He's moving from being an embarrassment to being downright dangerous.
He's been dangerous to us for a long time, but now he is damaging every other country on the planet. Can't one of those foreign intelligence agencies deploy an operative to "handle" this situation decisively? Please?
A foreign agency has already been handling your leader—that's kind of the problem.
You say foreign agency, I say terrorist organisation. Tomato, tamatoe.
Valid.

Oh sure. No one outside of the USA elected him into office twice, but yeah, lets risk our people for your gleefully continued fuck ups. Put on your big boy pants and take out your own trash.
Dude, I'm not asking you to save US from him, I'm asking you to save YOU from him. He's now inflicting damage on YOUR country, too. I'm sure of that, and I don't even know where you live, but wherever it is, he's hurting you somehow.
To be fair, there is now precedent for kidnapping a foreign president or killing them in their sleep via airstrike… if you can get away with it, that is.
They can't? Russian foreign intelligence put him in power in the first place and this generously assumes that billionaires don't control these intelligence agencies
Valid. I'm hoping some decent country takes care of business.

you USians should fix your own mistakes instead of asking for external help
he’s been dangerous since day one.
