Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- 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 another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- 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.
- 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.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
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.
That's all the rules!

They would never understand this
Something something Trump has a miserable marriage and can't imagine liking anyone or anything more than the amount of time he's getting paid to. There's a joke in here somewhere.
For the rest of the world this is so far before an election, but for the USA this "honeymoon phase" might last until November.
Please someone to tell GOP: Most people do not convert to home wreckers - even after honeymoon.
There's nothing to see here, Trump campaign. Big giant nothingburger. Just go campaign in Alabama or Mississippi. The Honeymoon will be over any day now.
Better yet, keep campaigning at Maralago. I'm sure they haven't had enough of him yet.
Honeymoon phase lasts 6 months on average. Even if this were true that's plenty of time
I guess the honey moon phase lasts longer with people that don't think women are second class citizen baby machines who shouldn't have rights?
Or with people that excite their significant other, right Ben Shapiro?
Well if that's true, there's no reason to say anything at all. Just let it run its course.
Great for Kamala.
Are those statements contradictory? Like aren't big crowds and momentum exactly what you'd expect during a "honeymoon phase," if that's what was going on?
I don't particularly think that is what's going on, but the framing doesn't make sense to me.
Lolz. Keep saying that.
There’s an interview on YouTube from a month or two ago.
