Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

The damage he has done to the US is extremely likely irreversible. Not that I mind, fuck the US, it's been just as bad as Russia and China, it's just that they granted the west stability, so the west kind of overlooked it's continuous crimes.
That tolerance is now over, and I highly doubt it'll ever come back. Europe is stepping away from the US hard, and they won't come back.
Ukraine showed that Russia is mostly a paper bear
Iran showed that the US is mostly a paper eagle, again, thanks to Trump
Millions will die due to Trump's actions
Americans so far have done little to nothing, and yes, by that I mean the weak no-kings protests. Anyone thinking that the single day no-kings protests were great really hasn't been paying attention to how bad the US has become that people can't even protest more than a day without losing their jobs or something. Take a ook at Europe, take a look at France.
I'm sorry, but it is REALLY hard to see that Americans are fighting back. It's not doomerism, I know this too shall pass,, this is just the reality of the situationn where this is not a new thing. The US has been sliding into authoritarianism for decades already and most people were defending it as the greatest nothing ever while people were dying on the streets.
So looking at the few hollow victories that have been scored, I can only say that it's too little, too late, at least for a victory lap.
