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.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

What he actually said was he would release it if they wanted to release it. That he'd have no problem with that

If we had real journalism in our county, the reporters would have asked who "they" were, since he basically said it's not his decision

[–] daannii@lemmy.world 11 points 9 months ago (3 children)

"they" is nobody. It's his imaginary supporters.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

The same big strongly men that come up to him with tears in their eyes and call him "sir".

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 3 points 9 months ago

That or the cabal pulling his strings.

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 1 points 9 months ago

No it's not. Trump is obviously not calling the shots, I'd like to hear who is running the admin on camera

Well, lots of reporters stand there and don't ask any questions. Granted, he often resorts to insults and then flees and most of the people in those gaggles are just suck-ups and not even from real news orgs anyway, but questions such as:

  1. How can one "ace" a dementia test?
  2. Why does he think people that haven't even been asked to be screened cannot pass this test?
  3. Why does he single out people like AOC and Jasmine Crockett for these comments? Does he think they have dementia?
  4. How can his MRI be the best anyone has ever seen?
  5. Assuming medical professional people have told him this, what does he think that even means? In his own words - how can an MRI be "great"?
  6. If it's so great why does he think one was even given to him? Was it just for funsies, or just so people could marvel at how "great" it is?
