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!

The real question is - do they let him see these commercials? I can easily imagine a team of people whose only job is to shield him from media coverage and things like this 24/7.
Do you really think Trump would obey these people? Have you seen his Twitter/truth social feed? They can’t limit the social media he posts let alone the one he sees
Some parents give their kids a phone or tablet on a car ride just to shut them up. I imagine the secret service have a similar relationship with Donnie.
It’s a TV remote though. He’s too old for iPads and tablets. Except when tweeting covefe from the shitter.
Didn’t he have a TV installed in the Oval Office bathroom though?
I suspect they very much can influence/curate what he sees, but maybe not to the extent I was imagining.
He watches TV. George Conway has been doing an experiment. He's been micro targeting ads to micro target Trump specifically to get a reaction.
They bought ad time on fox and things like the golf channel for the region around Mar a Lago. And as soon as the ads played Trump started rage posting on social media.
See https://youtu.be/oTDqBO0yGPQ for an example.
The ad they put together was fantastic!
That should be entertaining, I will check it out. Thanks!
