SLEEPY DON Throws a Tedious Tantrum Triggered By a New York Times Exposé of Trump Fatigue

Anyone who has been observing the behavior of Donald Trump in recent months cannot help but notice his rapidly declining ability to focus on critical issues, or comprehend simple subjects, or even to remain awake during White House meetings. His temperament wavers between lethargic rest home resident and raving psychiatric patient.

Donald Trump

The precarious state of Trump’s mental condition is one of many reasons that his approval ratings are in the toilet. Most reputable polls show him at or near the lows for either of his occupations of the White House. And that even includes polling by his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News…

SEE THIS: TRUMP IS TOAST! Even In a Fox News Poll Most Say Trump’s Economic Policies Have Hurt Them

So it should come as no surprise that Trump is lashing out maniacally at the media for having the audacity to report the truth about him. This time it is a familiar foe, the New York Times, that just published an article with the headline Shorter Days, Signs of Fatigue: Trump Faces Realities of Aging in Office,” wherein they analyzed Trump’s noticeably faltering state of consciousness, comparing his current 79 year old self to the 71 year old one that began his first term in office. And it’s a rather disturbing comparison. The Times analysis reveals that…

“Trump has fewer public events on his schedule and is traveling domestically much less than he did by this point during his first year in office […] He also keeps a shorter public schedule than he used to.” […]

“Trump’s [first term] scheduled events started at 10:31 a.m. on average. By contrast, Mr. Trump in his second term has started scheduled events in the afternoon on average, at 12:08 p.m. [And that] The number of Mr. Trump’s total official appearances has decreased by 39 percent. In 2017, Mr. Trump held 1,688 official events between Jan. 20 and Nov. 25 of that year. For that same time period this year, Mr. Trump has appeared in 1,029 official events.”

True to form, Trump quickly rushed to reply to this article on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social. He disgorged a 1,571 word rant, of which he spent more than half – 851 words – on flagrant lies about himself and his imagined record in office before getting to his real complaint. What follows are a few select excerpts that reflect the tone of his weakened mentality…

“The Creeps at the Failing New York Times are at it again. I won the 2024 Presidential Election in a Landslide…”
No he didn’t. It was one of the narrowest margins (1.5%) in modern times. Nevertheless, he went on to boast about his phony landslide victory at length.

“The last Administration had the Highest Inflation in history – I have already brought that down to normal.”
No he didn’t. While inflation rose to about 9% during Biden’s term (which was lower than every other industrialized nation), it came down to about 2.9% before Trump was inaugurated. It’s actually gone up a bit to 3% since Trump returned. Trump also bragged falsely that he settled eight wars, was responsible for stock market highs, and restored respect around the world.

“To do this requires a lot of Work and Energy, and I have never worked so hard in my life. Yet…the soon to fold New York Times did a hit piece on me that I am perhaps losing my Energy.”
Trump’s idea of working hard includes golfing at his own clubs and luxuriating at Mar-a-Lago.

“This cheap “RAG” is truly an “ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE.” The writer of the story, Katie Rogers, who is assigned to write only bad things about me, is a third rate reporter who is ugly, both inside and out.”
The article was actually co-written by Katie Rogers and Dylan Freedman. But Trump chose to attack only the woman, and he used his typical misogynistic rhetoric to do so.

“I have my highest Poll Numbers, ever.”
Yeah sure, grandpa. Trump’s polling is abysmal. His best poll has him down by 14 points. And it’s all downhill (26 points down) from there.

“a PERFECT PHYSICAL EXAM AND A COMPREHENSIVE COGNITIVE TEST (“That was aced”)”
Trump has been bragging about this for years. The “cognitive” test was a simple exam given to detect early onset dementia that asks questions no more challenging that to identify a camel. And we still haven’t seen the full results of his physical exam that included an MRI, which is generally only prescribed when there is evidence of a problem.

It’s ironic that Trump’s tirade does more to prove the allegations of his mental infirmity than to persuade against it. But that’s a fairly common consequence of his rage-postings. If anyone is suffering from “Trump Fatigue,” It’s the American people. And no matter how hard he and his sycophants argue that he is sharp and aware, his own behavior always manages to contradict those pleadings. For instance…

Trump's Attorney Genuflect, Pam Bondi, says "we're all trying to keep up with the president."I think she meant "we're all trying to wake up the president."

Trump’s Politicization of Thanksgiving Proves He is Incurably Infantile and Lacks Common Decency

The notoriously inflated, yet painfully fragile ego of Donald Trump is once again dominating the stage at the annual White House presidential Thanksgiving pardoning of the turkeys. And no, that doesn’t mean Pete Hegseth, Pam Bondi, Robert F. Kennedy Jr, and other Trump Cabinet puppets. At least not yet, anyway.

Donald Trump Chicken

For every year that Trump has occupied the White House, he has made these otherwise joyful occasions into insufferably antagonistic spectacles aimed at fluffing his flaccid micro-manhood. And this year is no exception. Trump came prepared with preplanned “jokes” and insults to hurl at his political foes as a means of distracting from his profound failures and severely declining approval ratings. Which shouldn’t surprise anyone considering how dreadfully he is doing his job this holiday season.

SEE THIS: Trump Promises Higher Prices ‘On Everything’ Just in Time for the Holidays – No, Really!

In the course of this perfunctory presentation, Trump managed to fill it with self-serving rhetoric that not only devalued the theme of the holiday, but exposed how utterly devoid he is of the honor and decency that the American people hope for in their leaders. What follows are a few of the grossly inappropriate remarks he made at this turkey pardoning ceremony…

  • He joked that President Biden pardoned Thanksgiving turkeys with an autopen, and he then declared them invalid.
  • He brought Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi into his pettiness, saying that he considered naming the turkeys “Chuck” and “Nancy,” but changed his mind because he would never really pardon them. Of course he did pardon true turkeys like Rudy Giuliani and Steve Bannon, and hundreds of January 6th rioters, including cop beaters.
  • He called Illinois Governor JB Pritzker “a big fat slob.” Which is further proof of Trump’s stunted emotional growth, and also that he doesn’t own a mirror.
  • He lied that there have been no murders in Washington, D.C. in six months. He’s only off by about fifty.
  • He repeated his already debunked lie that Thanksgiving dinner – and everything else – is less expensive this year than last.
  • He Related gruesome stories of crimes before an audience of families with children present.
  • He bragged that “more people are praying.” But that’s just because more people pray during a crisis. And there currently are more people who are disgusted, and suffering, and afraid of Trump’s authoritarian aspirations

Trump really has a way of bringing the joy of the season to everyone, doesn’t he? It’s typical of his holiday messages that famously disparage anyone with whom he disagrees. For instance…

2024: Trump Unleashes a Thanksgiving Rant that Insults Half the Country and Lies About the Election
“Happy Thanksgiving to all, including to the Radical Left Lunatics who have worked so hard to destroy our Country, but who have miserably failed, and will always fail, because their ideas and policies are so hopelessly bad.”

2023: Trump’s Heartwarming Thanksgiving Message Drips with Dread and Hate for His Legions of Enemies
“Happy Thanksgiving to ALL, including the Racist & Incompetent Attorney General of New York State, Letitia ‘Peekaboo’ James, who has let Murder & Violent Crime FLOURISH…& Crooked Joe Biden, who has WEAPONIZED his Department of Injustice against his Political Opponent, & allowed our Country to go to HELL; & all of the other Radical Left Lunatics, Communists, Fascists, Marxists, Democrats, & RINOS, who are seriously looking to DESTROY OUR COUNTRY.”

So here’s wishing everyone a truly happy Thanksgiving. Including the felonious pedophile in the White House who favors starving American children, fights for higher healthcare costs, and seeks to execute members of Congress for advocating law and order.

Trump Promises Higher Prices ‘On Everything’ Just in Time for the Holidays – No, Really!

Tis the season to be jolly. Fa la la la, etc. That is, unless you are among the majority of Americans who suffering under the burden of Donald Trump’s disastrous economic agenda that places the interests of regular people below those of Trump’s wealthy friends and the corporations that kowtow to him for governmental favors.

Trump Christmas Tree

There is a relentless stream of inbred tone deafness that permeates virtually everything that Trump and his administration acolytes say and do. Trump’s inability to even pretend to comprehend the lives of average Americans is one of the primary reasons that his approval ratings have sunk to levels that threaten to break records for presidential unpopularity going back decades.

SEE THIS: TRUMP IS TOAST! Even In a Fox News Poll Most Say Trump’s Economic Policies Have Hurt Them

Chief among Trump’s ignorant policies is his insistence on imposing inflationary tariffs on the products that most Americans use every day, including groceries. clothing, building materials, appliances, technology, etc. And through it all Trump repeatedly lies that it is foreign governments who pay the tariffs, rather than domestic importers who pass the costs on to consumers.

However, for all the lies that Trump tells, these are the least likely for him to get away with. Because people know what they spend when they go shopping. Nevertheless, Trump can’t stop piling on with his dishonest excuses for why everything costs more these days. And in a comment posted to his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, he made something of a confession that he intends to make things even worse. In a tediously long tirade he wrote in part that…

“…the full benefit of the Tariffs has not yet been calculated in that many of the buyers of goods and products, in order to avoid paying the Tariffs in the short term, ‘STOCK UP’ by purchasing far more inventory than they can use. That heavy inventory purchase is now, however, wearing thin, and soon Tariffs will be paid on everything they apply to, without avoidance, and the amounts payable to the USA will SKYROCKET, over and above the already historic levels of dollars received.”

This is not only filled with brazen untruths, it reeks of ridiculousness. First of all, Trump has been bragging about unprecedented amounts of revenue that has been taken in by his tariffs for months. But now he is saying that those tariffs have not actually been collected because the importers have been delaying any new purchases by stocking up prior to the tariffs kicking in.

Even worse, Trump is announcing that those tariffs that have been avoided so far are about to be levied, and that “soon Tariffs will be paid on everything they apply to, without avoidance.” Which would mean that everything that we buy heretofore will cost significantly more, just in time for the holidays. Merry Christmas everybody.

What’s more, those higher expected prices will be on top of those already in the marketplace. Trump has been touting alleged savings for Thanksgiving dinner that he got from a Walmart advertisement that he keeps calling a “study.” In fact, those costs are actually higher. But Trump & Co. have a solution: Bribe people with welfare to compensate them for his stupidity. Here is Trump’s Commerce Secretary, Howard Lutnick, laying out the specifics for Maria Bartiromo, the Fox News Senior Trump-Fluffer, who actually brushes him back a bit…

Bartiromo: The president is also looking at this potential proposal to send out checks of $2,000, dividend checks. And there’s an analyst I spoke to over the weekend who said that it’s unlikely unless we see a second reconciliation package passed in 2026. What’s your expectation in terms of the second reconciliation bill, or stand alone $2,000 checks to go out?
Lutnick: Look, the tariffs are an American policy. The president wants the American people to understand how great tariffs are for them. So one of the ways to prove how great tariffs are is to have them share in a part of one year’s income from these tariffs. […]
Bartiromo: But the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget says that those tariffs will cost roughly $6 hundred billion each round, and increase the deficit by $6 trillion over a decade.

Lutnick: "The president wants the American people to understand how great tariffs are for them"

Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-11-24T13:30:42.693Z

That’s right! Trump’s plan is to impose tariffs (aka taxes) on the American people that will actually cost them more than $5,200 annually. But he will reimburse them only $2,000 of that. That’s a $3,200 loss. And even that insufficient compensation will explode the deficit in the process.

The good news is that the vast majority of the American people aren’t buying the bullpucky that Trump is selling. In fact, recent polls show that most Americans, by far, already blame the sorry state of the economy on Trump, no matter how much he tries to shift the blame to President Biden who has been out of office for nearly a year.

This is gonna soil Trump's britches. Twice as many people blame Trump over Biden for the current economy.More here on this Fox News poll: www.newscorpse.com/ncWP/?p=68299

WHUT? Trump’s Treasury Secretary Says to Move From Blue States to Red States to Lower Inflation

The advice offered by Donald Trump and his Cabinet cronies has always been something less than credible, and more likely dangerous. It began years ago when Trump told people diagnosed with COVID to inject bleach, and it continues through his recent suggestion that it’s okay for service members to follow illegal orders, Trump has been a veritable fount of reckless counsel.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

On Sunday morning, Trump dispatched his Treasury Sycophant…er…Secretary, Scott Bessent, to another interview on another television program. Which appears to be the main duty of everyone in Trump’s Cabinet, who spend more time in TV studios than in their offices. On this occasion Bessent was there to make bizarre excuses for why inflation has persisted throughout Trump’s second occupation of the White House. Heaven forbid they take responsibility for anything. Among the prime directives of MAGA World is “Blame Others.” For instance…

SEE THIS: Democratic Senator Gets Bomb Threat After Trump Called for Her Execution – Fox News Blames Her

Let’s set aside why a Trump Cabinet official is appearing on “fake news” NBC (as Trump calls it). During his interview on Meet the Press with Kristen Welker, Bessent sought provide the Trump administration’s solution to the inflation problem that the country is mired in. Never mind that Trump says that there is no inflation and that the economy is better than ever. Bessent offered this advice to make everything even more betterer…

“The Council of Economic Advisers has a study. You know the best way to bring your inflation rate down? Move from a blue state to a red state. Blue state inflation is half a percent higher. And that is because they don’t deregulate, they keep prices up, energy is higher.”

Bessent: "You know the best way to bring your inflation rate down? Move from a blue state to a red state. Blue state inflation is half a percent higher."

Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-11-23T15:10:35.773Z

Bessent is disgorging utter nonsense. First of all, the Council of Economic Advisers is a board comprised of Trump flunkies who say whatever Trump tells them to say. Secondly, Bessent’s explanations for why inflation might be higher in blue states have nothing to do with inflation. Regulations may increase the costs, but they are not the same as inflation. Energy prices are driven by industry manipulating supply and demand for maximum profit. And WTF does he even mean by “they keep prices up”? That’s not an inflationary factor. It’s just a disconnected swipe at Democrats that has no factual basis.

More to the point, Bessent’s claim that “Blue state inflation is half a percent higher” is entirely made up. He doesn’t offer any sources to validate the claim, because there aren’t any. On the other hand, the Wall Street Journal published a story last year that revealed the results of an independent study that found that the opposite of what Bessent said is the actual truth. The article’s headline was “Trump Voters Don’t Just Expect Higher Inflation—They Get It Too.” It began…

“Republicans right now think inflation is a much bigger problem than Democrats do, and a lot of that is just politics. But here’s another possibility: Many of the places Republicans live indeed have had significantly higher inflation than Democratic enclaves.

“In new research, economists Carola Binder, Rupal Kamdar and Jane Ryngaert examined Labor Department inflation figures for U.S. metropolitan areas, and compared them with voting data. Their finding: Metro areas with more Republicans and independent voters tended to have higher inflation in 2022 than places where Democrats live.”

So if anyone were to take Bessent’s advice, they would end up moving to a state that likely had higher inflation. Plus, they would have had to quit their jobs in the blue state, and would encounter worse unemployment in their new red state home. Plus, they would have fewer services available to mitigate their suffering in red states where they have cut funding for education, healthcare, financial aid, housing assistance, etc., to the bone. Although they would have lots of new neighbors who hate them because they came from a blue state.

On a more positive note, if enough Democrats were to move to red states, they would become less red, which would result in more compassionate leadership and more benefits for everybody. Including those remaining in the blue states who would have fewer, or less red, red states counteracting all the good that the blue states do for the nation. So maybe Bessent’s idea isn’t so bad after all.

Democratic Senator Gets Bomb Threat After Trump Called for Her Execution – Fox News Blames Her

Democrats and Republicans are both warning that these are dangerous times that we are living through. Political violence has been on the increase. Democrats have been concerned about this for several years, but Republicans seem to have just taken note of it since the shooting of right-wing activist, Charlie Kirk.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Donald Trump, Fox News

Kirk’s murder riled up the MAGA confederacy, generating a relentless stream of accusations against Democrats as being responsible for the rising tide of violence. The right’s complaints have themselves risen to the level of potentially violent rhetoric. That’s especially true of Donald Trump. And they are in complete denial of the fact that most such violence, by far, is committed by conservative perpetrators.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Justice Dept Disappears Study that Proves Most Violence is Caused By Far Right Radicals

This week Trump lashed out a group of Democratic members of Congress – all military and/or intelligence veterans – who produced a video to remind soldiers of their legal obligation, as stated in the Uniform Code of Military Justice, that requires them to refuse to obey unlawful orders. To which Trump and his MAGA minions immediately replied by accusing them of “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!”

Trump’s threat is despicable and inflammatory. The concerns of those in the video are not hypothetical. Trump has already issued orders that are plausibly unlawful, including those to bomb boats in Caribbean without evidence of any criminal activity, and his invasions of U.S. cities by military troops to quash peaceful protests. With regards to the latter, several court rulings have already found that those deployments are illegal, including one such ruling this week.

Another affirmation of the grotesque consequences of Trump’s outbursts is that one of those in the video, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, has already been the victim of a bomb threat. Fortunately, she and her family were not at home at the time, and no one was hurt. But the intent was clear. Except, that is, for those at Fox News, who reported on the incident and perversely twisted the facts to blame Sen. Slotkin for the attempted bombing of herself. The Fox News story reported that…

“Sen. Slotkin’s home targeted with bomb threat days after she told troops to defy ‘illegal’ orders.” [and that] “The video, which was posted on Tuesday by Slotkin, has drawn the ire of Republicans as well as the Trump administration.”

Did you catch that? Fox reported that the bomb threat occurred “days after she told troops to defy ‘illegal’ orders.” Which is technically true. However, it was just a few hours after Trump posted his incendiary call for Slotkin and her colleagues to be executed. Which is far more likely to have incited the bomb threat. Funny that Fox News didn’t mention that. What’s more, in Fox’s retelling, it wasn’t Slotkin who was the target of the bomb threat, just her home. Fox also only associated the violence with unnamed Republicans and the Trump administration, but not Trump himself, who made the reprehensible remarks.

Sen. Slotkin is not the only one who has been on the receiving end of MAGA malice. Another participant in the video, Rep. Jason Crow, has been getting profane phone calls threating him and his family. You can hear them here, if you have the stomach for it. His congressional office has also received a bomb threat.

To reiterate, these atrocious acts were triggered by patriotic veterans issuing a reminder about the duties that service members swear an oath to. And Fox News is complicit in the deliberate distortion of their intentions that makes the threat of violence toward these members of Congress more likely. Some people might call that seditious behavior. But if they did, Trump would surely pardon them, just as he did others who were actually convicted of it.

UPDATE: Trump was rage-posting late Saturday against the members of Congress in the video…

CRYBABY TRUMP is whining and incoherent again. So I thought I'd help him out.

TRUMP IS TOAST! Even In a Fox News Poll Most Say Trump’s Economic Policies Have Hurt Them

Earlier this month, Trump suffered a resounding electoral defeat as voters in multiple states rejected his candidates and his policies. And with his pathetic failure to address the number one issue in the minds of voters – the economy – his future looks decidedly bleak. And he knows it.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Donald Trump, Wah

Trump’s fear of sinking to ever deeper depths in public opinion is having a profound impact on his already fragile emotional state. It could be at least partly responsible for what may be his most nauseating outburst wherein he called for the execution of several Democratic members of Congress just because they reminded soldiers of their duty to disobey illegal orders.

SEE THIS: Trump Accuses Democratic Members of Congress With ‘Seditious Behavior, Punishable by Death’

So Trump is going to go into an apoplectic shock when he hears about the latest poll by his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News. Quite often when a Fox News poll has bad news for Trump, the network buries it. And they did on this occasion as well, at least so far as their most watched primetime programs are concerned. However, Fox’s primary “news” anchor, Bret Baier, had the audacity to air part of the poll’s results during his Thursday program. He reported that…

“The issue of affordability, the issue of how people feel about the economy, is popping up in our latest poll. In personal financial situation – “excellent/good” 40%, only “fair or poor” 60%. The condition of the U.S. economy, also a perception totally upside down. 76-25%. And then economic conditions for the nation and you personally, again 25% positive, 76 negative for the nation, and 60-40 % (negative) personally.”

Reality check. Fox News presents Trump’s dismal poll numbers from their own poll to Fox’s MAGA audience.

Mike Sington (@mikesington.bsky.social) 2025-11-20T13:58:24.354Z

It’s difficult to imagine things being much worse for Trump. Fortunately, no imagination is necessary if you read the article about the poll on Fox’s website. It went into more detail than Baier was comfortable revealing on the air. For instance, among all voters, only 41% approve of the job Trump is doing, while 58% disapprove. That’s a five-point drop since September.

What’s more, a new low of 38% approves of his handling of the economy. While large numbers overall – and even among Republicans – say their costs for groceries, utilities, healthcare and housing have gone up this year. About twice as many say Trump, rather than Biden, is responsible for the current economy. That includes a surprising 42% of Republicans. And voters say by a 31-point margin that Trump’s economic policies have hurt rather than helped them.

Trump has yet to comment on these abysmal numbers. But in the past, Trump has made his displeasure with Fox News known when they published poll results like these. This summer Trump lashed out at Fox News for reporting survey results that proved to be pretty accurate. Trump raged on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, that…

“The Crooked FoxNews Polls got the Election WRONG, I won by much more than they said I would, and have been biased against me for years. They are always wrong and negative. It’s why MAGA HATES FoxNews, even though their anchors are GREAT.”

That’s right! “MAGA HATES FoxNews.” Which is why Trump’s glassy-eyed cult disciples watch almost nothing else. And among the reasons that Trump thinks the Fox “anchors are great,” aside from their constant kissing of Trump’s…let’s say ring, is that they don’t embarrass him by reporting his awful poll numbers, even by their own network. Although the polling from other sources isn’t any better for Trump. Just wait until he hears about this…

FLYING KETCHUP BOTTLE ALERT!!!Trump's BEST poll has him down by 14 points. But it's all downhill (26 points down) from there.

News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-11-21T18:15:31.036Z

UPDATE: Trump had something to say about his poll numbers. And to no one’s surprise, it was totally bonkers…

OKAY… Now can we all agree that Trump is NUTZ?Now can we remove Trump from office? 8647!#25thAmendment

Trump Accuses Democratic Members of Congress With ‘Seditious Behavior, Punishable by Death’

The megalomania of Donald Trump is reaching grotesquely frightening new lows. In a flurry of rancid posts to his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, Trump is accusing several members of Congress of “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!” Will this abomination convince Republicans that Trump must be removed from office?

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Donald Trump Angry

Trump’s basis for these accusations are as weak as his perpetually tedious lies about having won the 2020 election, or his constant boasts about his divine brilliance on every subject. However, these charges are far more dangerous than most of the laughably incoherent remarks he makes. This episode of his demented hostility began with a segment that aired on Fox News…

SEE THIS: Fox News and GOP Senator Idiotically Claim ‘Democrats Are Calling For Treason From Military’

The Fox News segment featured an interview with Tennessee Republican senator, Marsha Blackburn, that grossly misinterprets a video produced by several Democratic members of Congress encouraging service members to honor their oaths to the Constitution (Video below). The segment played above Fox’s preposterous and hyperbolic chyron that read “Critics Say Dems Calling For Treason From Military.”

In the video the Congress members reminded those in the military that they have a legal obligation to refuse to follow unlawful orders. It is stated explicitly in Article 92 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), which requires service members to refuse orders that are illegal, unconstitutional, or violate military law. However, Trump has preposterously misinterpreted this as an act of sedition. He posted the following comment on Thursday morning…

“SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL. Each one of these traitors to our Country should be ARRESTED AND PUT ON TRIAL. Their words cannot be allowed to stand – We won’t have a Country anymore!!! An example MUST BE SET. President DJT”

To be clear, Trump is accusing members of Congress of sedition, and demanding that they be prosecuted, and even potentially put to death, for reiterating the actual legal obligations of the military as stated in the UCMJ. And if his own posts weren’t bad enough, he reposted 18 more comments (so far) by random people on his website saying such things as “Insurrection. TREASON!” and “HANG THEM GEORGE WASHINGTON WOULD !!”

The members of Congress in the video that Trump is accusing of sedition are Sens. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.) and Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.), as well as Reps. Jason Crow (D-Colo.), Chrissy Houlahan (D-Penn.), Maggie Goodlander (D-N.H.) and Chris Deluzio (D-Penn.). They were all either military veterans or intelligence operatives before being elected to Congress. Which makes Trump’s accusations all the more reprehensible considering his notorious refusal to serve by falsely claiming five medical deferments for “bone spurs” during the Vietnam war.

What will GOP Senate leader John Thune think about Trump wanting to execute his fellow senators? And what will former senator, now Trump’s Secretary of State, Marco Rubio think about killing his former colleagues? Is there any line that Trump could cross before they consider impeachment, or the 25th Amendment to remove him from office?

The brazen and purposeful dishonesty of Trump is meant to excite and increase the hatred of his MAGA cult disciples toward Democrats. It is intended to put a wedge between the military and the American citizens they serve. It is abominable and unconscionable rhetoric that will further divide the nation and potentially incite violence.

In other words, it is entirely expected of Trump whose aversion to fellow Americans who fail to unflinchingly worship him is an integral part of his character, or lack thereof.

We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community.The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution.Don’t give up the ship.

Senator Elissa Slotkin (@slotkin.senate.gov) 2025-11-18T13:31:25.167Z

Fox News and GOP Senator Idiotically Claim ‘Democrats Are Calling For Treason From Military’

The rise of authoritarianism in the reign of Donald Trump has been an inescapable concern for the patriotic Americans who cherish the principles on which this country was founded. For the whole of his time occupying the White House, Trump has worked against those principles in order to advance his cravings for wealth and power.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Fox News, Constitution

In just the first year of his second term, Trump has wildly exceeded the anti-American aspirations of his first term. He is imposing retributive and inflationary tariffs on most of America’s allies. He is sending troops into U.S. cities to suppress peaceful, lawful dissent. He is directing his “Justice” Department to indict and persecute his political foes. He is attempting to muzzle the free press via government pressure and ludicrous lawsuits. He is trying to rig future elections with partisan gerrymandering. And that’s an abbreviated list.

SEE THIS: Trump Threatens Republicans to Gerrymander Red States With a Flurry of Downright Deranged Lies

In short, Trump is working tirelessly on poisoning the institutions that hold America together. He is hellbent on twisting every one of those institution – from governmental, legal, academic, diplomatic, legislative, and even cultural – into slaves to his personal obsessions. And among the most worrisome are his efforts aimed at the institution of America’s military.

In addition to Trump’s hostilities toward U.S. cities with Democratic leaders, he is escalating his war on members of the Democratic Party itself. He recently ordered his Attorney Genuflect, Pam Bondi, to investigate Bill Clinton and other Democrats over baseless accusations of associations with Jeffrey Epstein. And on Wednesday his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, aired a segment that explicitly accused Democrats of advocating treason.

The segment featured an interview with Tennessee Republican senator, Marsha Blackburn, that grossly misinterprets a video produced by several Democratic members of Congress encouraging service members to honor their oaths to the Constitution (Video below). The segment played above Fox’s preposterous and hyperbolic chyron that read “Critics Say Dems Calling For Treason From Military.”

Blackburn: It is inconceivable that you would have elected officials that are saying to uniformed members of the military who have taken an oath to protect and defend that they say would defy the orders that they have been given to execute their mission. I find it inconceivable, but that is what they have chosen to do, and we will see what the response to them from Democrats…I find this just so disturbing that they would say defy the orders if you do not like the orders.
Faulkner: I don’t think they understand the slippery slope of what that does to an already unpopular Congress.

“Inconceivable!” "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.” (Also "Treason" on Fox News chyron)The Uniform Code of Military Justice (Article 92), literally REQUIRES service members to refuse orders that are illegal, unconstitutional, or violate military law.

“Inconceivable”? Blackburn says that twice. But as was noted by Inigo Montoya in “The Princess Bride,” “I do not think it means what you think it means.” For one thing, they never said to “defy the orders if you do not like the orders.” They referred only to unlawful orders. And the Uniform Code of Military Justice (Article 92), literally requires service members to refuse orders that are illegal, unconstitutional, or violate military law. But don’t expect anyone on Fox News, or among the MAGA GOP, to know that.

The brazen and purposeful dishonesty of Blackburn and Fox News is meant to bring the animosity of their viewers toward Democrats to a furious boil. It is meant to further divide the nation and potentially incite violence. It is intended to put a wedge between the military and the American citizens they serve.

As such, it is Fox News and Trump’s flunkies who are engaging in the most heinous sort of unpatriotic rhetoric that should be regarded as – not treason – but at least inconceivable in civil society.

Trump Media (Truth Social) Falls to Its Lowest Point Ever – And So Does Donald Trump

In the fall of 2025, the fortunes of Donald Trump have fallen on hard times. The November 4th election saw him lose virtually every contest in which his influence or reputation was a factor. And the snowballing scandal regarding his unsavory association with child sex trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein, has picked up steam even among his Republican confederates in congress who just voted to release the Epstein files.

Donald Trump Circling the Drain

No wonder Trump is furiously freaking out and throwing some of the most deranged tantrums of his decade in politics. Which given his record of bizarre and psychotic episodes to date, is really saying something. It also explains in part his desperation to rig the upcoming elections next year for which he is likely to be the biggest burden crushing the prospects of his Republican cult…er…Party.

SEE THIS: Trump Threatens Republicans to Gerrymander Red States With a Flurry of Downright Deranged Lies

Reflecting the animus that Trump inspires in America, his scam business venture, Trump Media and Technology Group, is suffering its worst week since it went public a year and a half ago. It has lost a whopping 80% of its asset value since then. Just in the past month its stock lost 32% marking its lowest price since listing. And these declines have occurred while the stock market indexes have been surging.

The last quarterly report for the company showed yet another “net loss of $54.8 million.” They made a huge and poorly timed $2 billion bet on Bitcoin, which then promptly plummeted from their $118,000 purchase price to about $95,000 in the past couple of months. They also reported a massive $20.3 million in legal fees to tend off allegations of fraud and financial misconduct.

Not surprisingly, Trump’s own approval ratings have performed in sync with his corporate enterprise. Which is to say that they have cratered in historic fashion, settling at or near the bottom of his placing since his reoccupation of the White House. As reported by Newsweek

“Trump’s approval rating remained at the lowest level since his term started in January [40%]. His popularity has been within a percentage point or two of its current level in every Reuters/Ipsos poll since mid-May. The share of people who say they disapprove of his performance has grown, from 52% in a May 16-18 poll to 58% in the latest survey.”

This translates electorally to disaster for Trump and the GOP. Recent polls show that 44% of Democrats said they were “very enthusiastic” about voting in the November 3, 2026, elections, compared with 26% of Republicans, who appear to be severely depressed and disillusioned. And the percent of Democrats who said that the Party had “lost its way” declined by 10 points since August. Which suggests that their decision to “cave,” as some have described it, in order to end the Trump Shutdown not only hasn’t hurt them, it may have helped.

None of this should surprise anyone who has been paying attention to Trump’s financial and political status in recent months that has been anything but promising. What follows is a brief summary of the disaster we know has Trump World…

Trump Threatens Republicans to Gerrymander Red States With a Flurry of Downright Deranged Lies

When Donald Trump told his supporters in his 2015 campaign that if they voted for him they would soon become “sick and tired of winning,” he was partly right. They are becoming sick and tired. But on the heels of his disastrous and record breaking government shutdown, he and the GOP are being held accountable for the turmoil, chaos, and suffering that it caused.

Donald Trump Sweating

The election results earlier this month were another warning sign for Trump and the Republican Party that they are sinking fast in the minds of the American people. He lost in virtually every contest despite his frenzied politicking. Trump’s focus on extraneous matters that are of interest only to him and his most MAGA-tized cult followers predictably alienated most voters.

SEE THIS: Republicans Learn Nothing From Their Electoral Spanking, but Trump Learns to Savor Dictatorship

Consequently, Trump is now turning in desperation to efforts to rig the 2026 election by grossly gerrymandering districts in Republican states. He knows that he can’t win by campaigning on his achievements or agenda. So he posted the following threat aimed at his fellow Republicans on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social.

“I will be strongly endorsing against any State Senator or House member from the Great State of Indiana that votes against the Republican Party, and our Nation, by not allowing for Redistricting for Congressional seats in the United States House of Representatives as every other State in our Nation is doing, Republican or Democrat. Democrats are trying to steal our seats everywhere, and we’re not going to let this happen! This all began with the Rigged Census. We must keep the Majority at all costs. Republicans must fight back!”

First of all, Trump’s crusade to turn red states even redder is an admission that he’s losing and has to resort to cheating. He’s too scared to let voters make their own choices for who they want to represent them. What’s more, it is wholly improper for him to inject himself into the electoral affairs of the sovereign states. But he was just getting started. His comment consists of several brazenly dishonest, and frankly demented, assertions that deserve further scrutiny. For instance, Trump says that…

  • “Every every other State in our Nation is” redistricting.
    Actually, it’s only 13 states. And more Republican (8), than Democratic (5).
  • “Democrats are trying to steal our seats everywhere.”
    However, it was Trump and the GOP who started it in Texas. Democrats still prefer independently drawn districts and are only trying to level the playing field.
  • “This all began with the Rigged Census.”
    The last census was conducted in 2020, when Trump was occupying the White House. So is he confessing that he rigged it, but just did it badly?
  • “We must keep the Majority at all costs.”
    That’s a frightening position that reeks of totalitarianism and suggests that it includes breaking the law and engaging in violence.
  • “Republicans must fight back!”
    As noted above, Republicans were the initiators. It is Democrats who must fight back.

Despite his determination to undermine democracy, Trump and his Republican confederates may be surprised by the election results next November. Many of the districts that they rejiggered to favor themselves weakened their advantage in adjacent districts, while failing to sufficiently improve their position in the new districts. They could end up losing both.

Furthermore, they based their redrawing of the maps on 2024 election data where many Latinos were swayed by Trump’s economic promises that he has not come close to fulfilling. Consequently, recent polling shows that Latinos are shifting back into the Democratic column, which would seriously screw up the GOP’s new maps. This was confirmed by CNN’s poll analyst, Harry Enten who reported that…

“Donald Trump’s net approval rating on immigration among Latinos. He is 38 points underwater. That is a 36 point shift from where we were a year ago. […] Whatever Donald Trump is doing in office in the minds of Latinos, it is not working. They have turned against him in massive, massive numbers.”

No wonder Trump is resorting to threatening his own party members. Trump’s loss of support among the public is translating to the loss of support in his party. There was always going to be a tipping point where Republican members of Congress would be more afraid of their voters than they are of Trump. We may be at that point now.
