I truly don’t understand how people love with them

Very carefully.

They experienced a whole ass previous four year term, culminating in the USA becoming the covid capital of the world and over a million people dying from it just in that one country, and were like, “Yeah, let’s do that again.”

I’m not a real fan.

These things had such little impact I had entirely forgotten they were a thing that happened.

He developed a cult of personality around himself of significant size and used it to seize one of two pillars of political power in the USA, which then propelled him to power twice. Not smart as in “good for the world,” but pretty successful in the, “empowering and enriching oneself at the cost of the commons” sense.

He’s an idiot-savant. A total moron with a special talent for self promotion. Which it turns out gets you very far in life (along with the head start one gets being born wealthy).

Imagine having a personality disorder, basically. Wealth inequality is bad for the wealthy, too. It either turns them into freaks or it enables their inherent freakishness. Either way, they need their wealth to be redistributed and they personally to be reduced to the median level of wealth for everyone’s, including their own, benefit.

Huh, I guess Bezos is regretting that donation he made to Trump’s inauguration fund. Well, let them fight.

Any French commenters able to contextualize this news for the rest of us? Le Pen’s party has been gaining popularity in recent years, if I recall correctly. How is this likely to impact them? Are they organized enough to continue on without her, or is this likely to seriously hurt their electoral chances?

It’s always good to see a fascist lose but I’m not tuned in enough to French politics to know the full significance of this.

As far as I’m aware this only works for Bloomberg. A flaw in their site design.

Lemmy was adding an unwanted slash for whatever reason, look at my edited comment.

You can get past the Bloomberg paywall by adding a period after the .com

So, instead of

www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-03-29/trump-tells-nbc-he-couldn-t-care-less-about-higher-auto-prices

put

www.bloomberg.com./news/articles/2025-03-29/trump-tells-nbc-he-couldn-t-care-less-about-higher-auto-prices

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enabling_Act_of_1933

Why would he bother when the one organization that has total editorial control over the document is ideologically copacetic?

The US Supreme Court ruled that laws don’t apply to the President. All these articles talking about Trump breaking the law are falling victim to normalcy bias, a normal that died July 1, 2024. A referee isn’t going to descend from the heavens to put Trump in the penalty box. If you don’t like what’s happening you won’t be able to appeal to law to help you. Think of something else.

On Microsoft’s part, I guess. The support this article is talking about is supporting the ability to map the ‘Copilot’ key to whatever you want.

Ring wing “populism” isn’t really populist, it’s masking politics beneficial to the wealthy elite in a way that is palatable to enough people just long enough to gain power and put into effect laws that are highly unfavourable to your average person. The antidote to that is making changes that are actually favourable to your average person. Placing those two different concepts under the singular label “populism” is, frankly, disingenuous.

Guess they took her calling for their invasion personally. Good work, Australia. I wish Canada had done the same when Tucker Carlson came here.

He’s such an attention-hungry dork it makes him very easy to hate on.

The last place I lived, for around a decade, my polling station was literally in a senior’s centre every time I had an election to vote in.
