Rag chewing about Donald Trump should be a violation of FCC rules since political discussions are not allowed.

In the US, that is not true at all. It is perfectly legal to discuss politics. It may be discouraged by other hams though.

And it's particularly discouraged when talking with hams in other countries where the laws may be different.
