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.

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.

Why do i understand immigration policy so much better than a former president of the United States‽ I’m a fucking engineer! But I understand that people seeking asylum are not coming in from mental institutions, they’re coming from oppressive regimes and inhospitable areas (natural, political, criminal, or otherwise) and seeking to invoke their basic human rights in accordance with international treaties that we signed in the wake of the Holocaust saying that people have the right to bypass borders to ensure a basic level of safety and freedom.
This isn’t hard, you should’ve learned this in history or civics classes.
Because you wanted to learn about it, so you did.
Donald Trump doesn't want to learn about anything that doesn't affect him personally, so he won't put in the effort to educate himself. Also his narcissism won't let him believe that there's anything he isn't already the most knowledgeable person about.
I agree he doesnt care to learn, but I also wonder if that's because he finds it so difficult.
He ain't bright.
Quite likely one feeding the other. He must have learned long ago that he'll never be able to compete in brains, but money, threats and bravado will get someone like him a lot farther than he'd get otherwise. In the meantime, he may have accidentally convinced himself that his level of knowledge actually is big and beautiful and anyone who claims to know more is just bullshitting like he is.
