Welcome to the "Latest Trump BS" forum [View all]

This discussion thread is pinned.

Here's the Statement of Purpose for this forum, which you can find on the forum's About page:

Discuss the late-night social media rants, unrealistic policy proposals, and ridiculous trial balloons floated by Donald Trump. This forum is intended to separate the nonsense that Donald Trump spews on a daily basis from actual Trump Administration policies and actions. For example, if Donald Trump uses Truth Social to call for an invasion of Mars, it would be appropriate for this forum, whereas if the Trump Administration orders the Joint Chiefs of Staff to draw up plans for an invasion of Mars, it would be appropriate for General Discussion or Latest Breaking News.

The idea of this forum is to try to separate discussions of the crazy things Trump is saying to distract everyone, from discussions of the things that his administration is actually doing in the real world. As such, it may take a while for everyone to get a feel for what discussions should go where. To begin with I'm going to ask the Hosts not to lock anything just yet. I'd like to see how this develops naturally before we start locking things as "off topic."

This is not going to be a perfect solution -- I'm expecting topics to overspill -- but I'd appreciate it if DUers thought about where their thread might be most appropriate going forward, before posting.

This is experimental, so if it turns out that this forum doesn't help anything, we'll likely close it down again. I'll discuss it with you if and when we decide that might be necessary.
