HUH? Trump Now Says His Weaponization Fund Was to Compensate People Who Were Abused – By the Media?

Posted by on June 4, 2026 at 1:56 pm. 0 Comments :

It’s getting more difficult every day to keep track of the myriad explanations and excuses that Donald Trump dispenses to the press for whatever calamity happens to be gnawing at his rapidly decomposing brain matter. The problem with trying to comprehend Trump’s explosive diarhetoric is that he continuously alters it fit into his always evolving fantastical version of reality.

Donald Trump, CNN

For instance: Tariffs don’t impact American consumers. No, I’m removing some tariffs to help American consumers. And: My vanity ballroom won’t cost taxpayers a penny. No, the ballroom is going to cost a billion dollars for national security. And: I had nothing to do with canceling Stephen Colbert. No, I’ve taken out many bad political pundits including Stephen Colbert. And: We’re at war with Iran. No, the war is over. No, it wasn’t a war to begin with, it was an excursion. And now Trump is doing the same with his “weaponization” slush fund…

SEE THIS: DEMOCRATS: Claim Your Share From Trump’s $1.776 Billion ‘Anti-Weaponization’ Slush Fund

During a press avail at the White House on Thursday, Trump engaged in a brief exchange with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins. She asked him about his now abandoned slush fund, and he replied in the typically rude and flagrantly dishonest manner that has become his hallmark.

Collins: Just to clarify on what you were asked earlier, is the $1.8 billion DOJ fund dead or is it on hold?
Trump: It’s — I’d have to ask the lawyers, I don’t know. I know one thing: The weaponization fund, as far as I’m concerned was a beautiful thing. It was something I was — I didn’t make it, but I was — I heard that I thought that was the greatest thing because people like you…have abused our people so badly – Be quiet — have abused our people so badly and you should be ashamed of yourself. […] CNN does such false reporting, but now they have new ownership, so maybe it’ll straighten it out. I doubt it, but it’s hard to straighten garbage out. But CNN has abused and others have abused so badly.

WTF IS TRUMP TALKING ABOUT?He is not only being grossly disrespectful to Kaitlan Collins of CNN, he is saying that his illegal $1.8 billion "weaponization" fund was to compensate people who were abused by the media. That's a new one from the Demented One.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-06-04T10:32:28.687Z

There is a lot to unravel in that stream of incoherence. First of all, Trump’s claim of ignorance – while on the surface is believable considering his cognitive dysfunction – in this case is ridiculous. He knows exactly what happened with the fund because he was responsible for it. And the lawyers to whom he refers are his lawyers.

More to the point, Trump is not only being grossly disrespectful (as usual) to Collins by dismissively ordering her to “be quiet,”, he is also saying that his illegal slush fund was intended to compensate the January 6th insurrectionists who he now says were abused by the media, rather than law enforcement and the prosecutors who held them accountable for their seditious crimes, many of whom pleaded guilty.

Trump’s original claim that his StormTrumpers were badly treated by law enforcement was preposterous on its face. Which is why he has dropped it under pressure from his own MAGA Republicans in Congress and the MAGA media. But this new assertion is even more bizarre. There is no legal justification for his attempting to use taxpayers dollars to compensate his criminal cult devotees for anything that was said about them by the media.

If Trump’s rioters really thought that they were abused by the media, they could seek compensation by filing defamation lawsuits on their own. But they would have to prove that the media lied with malice. And since there is zero chance that they could do that, they would promptly get laughed out of court.

Getting laughed out of court just happens to be the proper response to any litigation that Trump dredges up. Unfortunately, there are still a few of his flunkies in robes who willingly do his bidding. But that state of affairs won’t last forever. And before long the time come will come when he and his goon squad will be brought to justice.

MAGA Mike Johnson Pitifully Tries to Cover For Trump Saying ‘I Don’t Care About the Midterms’

Posted by on June 3, 2026 at 2:22 pm. 0 Comments :

The upcoming midterm elections portend to be a disaster of epic proportions for Donald Trump and his Republican Party. Trump’s approval ratings are at record lows, and generic political party polling shows Democrats with significant advantages over the MAGA-ified GOP.

Donald Trump and Mike Johnson

Making matters worse, Trump is proving to be his own worst enemy with every utterance emanating from his pathologically lying lips. Even under the best, most favorably rigged circumstances, Trump manages to dig himself ever deeper into a hole that he has no chance of climbing out of.

SEE THIS: Trump Humiliates Himself in a Hysterical Interview By His Daughter-in-Law Lara Trump on Fox News

So what does his chief representative in Congress do to rescue him from a dire electoral fate? Well, during a Wednesday morning press briefing, Republican House Speaker, MAGA Mike Johnson, tried to sane-wash some of Trump’s demented babbling. Last week Trump was asked about how his fiasco in Iran might impact the midterms. Trump replied that

“[Iran] thought they were gonna out wait me. ‘We’ll out wait him. He’s got the midterms.’ I don’t care about the midterms.”

Trump: "I don't care about the midterms"

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-05-27T16:06:36.364Z

That’s a pretty clear statement that Trump isn’t bothered by the broad public disapproval of his handling of the Iran quagmire. True to form, he’s going to do whatever he wants without regard to what the American people want, or what’s best for the nation. When this came up at Johnson’s press briefing, it elicited the following exchange…

Question: Trump says he doesn’t care about the midterms. Do you think he’s focused enough on domestic policy?
Johnson: What he said there has been taken out of context and it’s so unfair. This president is more laser focused and more dialed in on domestic issues here in the homeland than any president in memory. He spends more time working on domestic issues in one day than Joe Biden did in four. That’s an objective fact.

REALLY? After Trump said that he doesn’t care about the midterms, Johnson makes excuses saying that Trump was “taken out of context,” and that he “spends more time on domestic issues.” On on the former, it’s hard to imagine a positive context for saying he doesn’t care. But on the latter, to be fair, he’s kind of right, depending on how you define domestic issues…

After Trump said that "he doesn't care about the midterms," GOP Speaker MAGA Mike Johnson makes excuses saying that Trump "spends more time on domestic issues." And to be fair, he's kind of right.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-06-03T17:34:29.767Z

Suffice to say that Johnson didn’t help Trump with that nonsense reply. Trump’s domestic agenda has been nothing short of abysmal. The only thing that’s worse is his foreign agenda. But that didn’t stop Johnson and his House GOP lieutenants from making clowns of themselves. Notice the posters that he set up for the briefing. One of them asserts that while “Republicans are CUTTING YOUR TAXES, DEMOCRATS WERE TRANS-ING THE MICE (with $8.2 Billion of Your Tax Dollars).”

First of all, the “trans-ing the mice” reference is just as untrue as when Trump said it in a speech before Congress last year. He totally misunderstood a report on “transgenic” research on mice, which are genetic experiments done to study human illnesses, and have nothing to do with gender transitioning. And secondly, the only tax cutting that Trump has done was for corporations and the wealthy.

Johnson could have spared himself the trouble of covering for Trump’s asinine comments about not caring. Most Americans already know that he doesn’t care about them. He even said so on another occasion just last month when he defended his war against Iran and the economic harm it was doing here at home, saying that “I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation. I don’t think about anybody.” Yeah…We know.

WHAT 1ST AMENDMENT? Snowflake Trump Takes Credit For Canceling “DUMB” (With a B) Stephen Colbert

Posted by on June 2, 2026 at 2:01 pm. 1 Comments :

The tender sensitivities of Donald Trump, and his massive yet fragile ego, continue to shine through the facade of bombast and bullying that he likes to put forward. His macho image of himself – setting aside his affinity for The Village People and muscular MMA fighters – is as fake as his layers of orange pancake makeup and B-52 hairstyles.

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

Donald Trump, Constitution

Trump’s hyper-mushiness is often expressed by his lashing out at journalists and other media figures. It can be seen whenever he is asked a question he can’t answer and resorts to insulting the reporter as a means of dodging the question. And it’s particularly true with regard to comedians who wound his smug pride with ample servings of satire and well-deserved mockery.

SEE THIS: Trump Brags About Getting Fascist Control of the Media in Bonkers Truth Social Post

On Sunday night Trump unloaded yet another lambasting of his perceived enemies, both political and humorous. In a comment posted to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, Trump lauded himself for allegedly ending the careers of several of his archfoes, including Stephen Colbert. Trump bragged that…

“In the last two weeks I’ve taken out many bad Political ‘Leaders’ and Pundits including Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Lightweight ‘Congressman’ Thomas Massie of Kentucky, Brad Raffensperger of Georgia, REALLY DUMB Stephen Colbert of CBS, and others.”

Whad'ya know? Trump is admitting he had a role in Stephen Colbert being canceled, something he previously denied, and CBS said was just a financial decision.Plus he says he's also going after the other late night hosts. And finally, he says this is how he is "working so hard for our country" ???

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-06-02T07:40:34.959Z

That’s right. Trump is taking credit for the cancellation of “DUMB” (with a “B”) Stephen Colbert. Which is peculiar because he has previously denied having much, if anything, to do with it. In a post on Truth Social in July of last year Trump claimed that Colbert was fired due to “lack of talent” and CBS’s unverified assertion that the number one rated show lost $50 million dollars a year…

“Everybody is saying that I was solely responsible for the firing of Stephen Colbert from CBS, Late Night. That is not true! The reason he was fired was a pure lack of TALENT, and the fact that this deficiency was costing CBS $50 Million Dollars a year in losses.”

Trump’s tirade also included a tribute to himself saying that “It is my Honor to be working so hard for our Country!” Exactly! Because, as everyone knows, canceling Colbert is the best way to lower costs for gas, and groceries, and housing, and healthcare.

And that’s on top of the many economic benefits that come from building vanity ballrooms, staging UFC fights at the White House, paying $1.8 billion to reward violent seditionists, minting $250.00 bills with Trump’s face on them, and, of course. starting wars against Middle East countries without any reason or exit strategy.

The worst part of this assumption of credit by Trump is that he is affirming his intention to do away with the free speech rights and press freedoms embedded in the First Amendment to the Constitution. He actually believes that he has the power to dictate what can or cannot be aired on television. And sadly, too many of the billionaires who own the media are all too willing to capitulate to him for fear and/or greed.

However, that weakness will only work for so long. And the time is coming when they will learn the hard way that capitulation not only feeds Trump’s hunger for power, it alienates audiences who will revolt against the traitorous complicity in the corporate media’s embrace of MAGA-style fascism.

Jimmy Kimmel Wins Peabody Award, Skewers Trump in His Acceptance Speech

Posted by on June 1, 2026 at 12:36 pm. 0 Comments :

Watch out for flying ketchup bottles! The Crybaby-in-Chief, Donald Trump, is going to be lobbing caseloads of condiments with both hands when he hears that the “low rated, no talent,” late night comedian, Jimmy Kimmel, has just won a coveted Peabody Award for “embracing the responsibility of comedy to reveal truths amid political volatility.”

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

Jimmy Kimmel with Trump baby

Never mind the skyrocketing costs of gas, groceries, housing, healthcare, etc., or the reckless and illegal war in Iran. Trump is too busy with his vanity ballroom, and getting his scowling mug plastered on currency, to be concerned with issues that really matter to the American people. And he’s too obsessed with punishing the media for telling the truth about him, including by comedians that America loves way more than him.

SEE THIS: LOLOL: Jimmy Kimmel Crushes Trump in Poll Despite Having No Talent or Ratings (According to Trump)

On Sunday night the prestigious Peabody Awards were presented to journalists and others in the media for outstanding achievements in their fields. Among them was Jimmy Kimmel, who has distinguished himself as both a humorist and a profound observer of political, cultural, and social affairs. As reported by Variety…

“‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ was among the 34 winners chosen by the Peabody Awards jury to win this year’s prizes, and Kimmel joked that he ‘never felt dumber’ being awarded along side documentaries and news programs that ‘exposed the horrors of ice, prison abuse and a teacher who took on Putin.’

“But the audience at Sunday night’s ceremony cheered on as the talk show host, in his acceptance speech, reminded the crowd that ‘making jokes about the President – in America – shouldn’t win you a prize. We have the right, guaranteed by the Constitution, to criticize and satirize our leaders. That is a right I took for granted, for the first 57 years of my life, until last September, when the FCC delivered an unpleasant surprise.'”

As a perennial target of Trump’s wrath, Kimmel has been subjected to infantile insults, as well as vindictive threats and abusive retribution by Trump and his flunkies at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). They succeeded in getting Kimmel thrown off the air, but only for three days as the public backlash forced the Trumpists to cave in and restore the program. Unfortunately, that hasn’t stopped Trump from pursuing his ego-fueled vendetta.

MORE HERE: Trump’s FCC Threatens to Change ‘Equal Time’ Rules to Suppress the Free Speech of Trump Critics

In his Peabody acceptance speech (video below), Kimmel affirmed that he and his peers “will not stand by when comedy, and journalism, and dissent are censored, regulated and criminalized.” Then he went on to thank the Peabody panel that voted for him, as well as another notable who helped him to earn this honor…

“Thank you to the Peabody jurors for this adorable little trophy, and thank you to Donald Trump, our commander-in-thief, ‘Abrascam Lincoln,’ ‘Orange Julius Caesar,’ ‘Greedy McGolfy,’ ‘Dopey McGropey’ and ‘Pumpkin McPornhumper.'”

Trump may have succeeded in getting his billionaire pals at Paramount/CBS to cancel Stephen Colbert. Although they may have only succeeded in guiding him to an even bigger audience online and streaming. But Kimmel, for the time being, is still with us. And he will likely inherit Colbert’s network TV audience, giving him more exposure than ever.

UPDATE: The first head-to-head late night ratings since Colbert went dark show that Kimmel got the lion’s share of Colbert’s audience. CBS however, tanked with airings of “Comics Unleashed,” the show that replaced Colbert.

“According to Nielsen live-plus-same-day data, Kimmel dominated the hour with an average 2.185 million total viewers [a 53% gain] and 295,000 viewers in the 18-49 demographic [a 178% gain]. That’s more viewers for Jimmy Kimmel Live! across both key ratings measurements than both the Tonight Show and Comics Unleashed combined. […] CBS, meanwhile, saw a steep drop-off from its year-ago performance. Comics Unleashed was down 64% in total viewers and down 46% among adults 18-49 compared to The Late Show’s numbers the same night last year, when Colbert won the timeslot.”

As for Trump, his approval ratings have been in a death spiral for months. And nothing hurts him more than knowing how despised he is by the little people he aspires to rule.

Jimmy Kimmel: We have the right to criticize and satirize our leaders. This is a right that I took for granted until last year when the FCC delivered a very unpleasant surprise. Then I watched as millions of people objected because they refuse to allow our freedoms to be bulldozed like the East Wing

Trump Humiliates Himself in a Hysterical Interview By His Daughter-in-Law Lara Trump on Fox News

Posted by on May 31, 2026 at 1:50 pm. 2 Comments :

There really is no one who does more damage to Donald Trump than Donald Trump. With every public appearance he makes he pours out buckets of bullpucky that is decidedly detrimental, with an emphasis on the “mental.”

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

Fox News, Lara Trump, My View

Saturday night Trump courageously exposed himself to a potential PR disaster by agreeing to be interviewed by the most intimidating inquisitor on Fox News, Lara Trump. Who just happens to also be his daughter-in-lawlessness. And that family connection is being actively exploited as Lara’s husband Eric is threatening to file a defamation lawsuit against Jen Psaki and MS NOW, Lara and Fox’s competition.

SEE THIS: JUST LIKE DADDY: Eric Trump Threatens to Sue MS NOW and Jen Psaki for Telling the Truth About Him

During the father/daughter-in-law interview, Trump dropped some juicy news bites. And as always, they were more revealing of his own personality disorders, than of anything derogatory he intended about his perceived enemies. What follows are a few of those nuggets of Trump’s dementia.

FIRST: For the umpteenth time Trump basked in the glory of how beloved he is as shown in a poll that doesn’t exist.

Despite incessantly insulting CNN as “fake news,” Trump made a point of praising their data analyst, Harry Enten, who had nothing to do with the NBC poll, other than to refer to it. He has also misrepresented the findings that showed Trump’s approval is only 66% among Republicans. So a third (31%) of his own party doesn’t approve of him. Also notable is the wretch-inducing painting in the background for this interview that took place in the White House foyer.

SECOND: Trump sought to display how knowledgeable he is about America’s voting processes.

Never mind that Trump got literally everything wrong. Of course, it isn’t the first time he’s done that. He recently claimed that if Jesus came down and counted the votes in California, he would have won the notoriously Democratic state.

THIRD: Trump’s dementia was on full display as he contradicted himself within seconds about his alleged successes in Iran.

Trump has been claiming to have totally obliterated Iran’s military since the first few days of his reckless and illegal war. And he has been promising that the war’s end is just days away. Which he has been promising for months.

FOURTH: Perhaps most bizarre is Trump’s proof that he is intellectually superior to us mere mortals.
He tells Lara that most people don’t know that the word “dumb” ends with a “B.” However, Trump watchers know that whenever he says something about what other people don’t know, it’s really something that he just learned himself.

Throughout this parade of pitiful pompousness, Lara never asked a single follow up question or challenged the obviously lies told by her sugardaddy-in-law. But as the host on Trump’s State TV Ministry of Propaganda, would would she?

Trump Freaks Out Over Kennedy Center Ruling – Gets Fluffed by Maria Bartiromo on Fox News

Posted by on May 30, 2026 at 12:47 pm. 0 Comments :

By now everyone knows how easy it is to trigger Donald Trump into doing or saying something profoundly stupid, or worse, manifestly harmful to the reputation and/or well being of the United States. As Hillary Clinton presciently warned nine years ago, “A man you can bait with a tweet is not a man we can trust with nuclear weapons.”

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

Donald Trump

The inherent risks in coddling Trump’s flawed personality disorders have been witnessed repeatedly in his irrational overreactions to everything from Iran’s failure to submit to his toothless threats, to his demands that late night comedians like Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel be censored or banned from television. Even Fox News noticed that emotionally weak leaders should not be given destructive powers.

SEE THIS: Fox News Warns Against Giving the Nuclear Codes to Mentally Declining Presidents – Like Trump?

This week Trump’s psychological stability was challenged when a federal judge ruled that adding his name to the Kennedy Center was illegal and that he must remove it and cease plans to shut it down for unnecessary renovations. As reported by The Guardian…

“A judge on Friday ordered the removal of Donald Trump’s name from the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, ruling that the prestigious Washington DC venue cannot be renamed without an act of Congress…[US district judge Christopher] Cooper also temporarily blocked the center from closing this summer for proposed renovations, two months after Trump announced its two-year closure.”

Shortly after that ruling was announced, Trump took to his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, to plaintively cry about what a pathetic victim he is. The post was so long that it would be a monumental waste of time to read it. But it contained a few morsels of insight into just how demented Trump is.

WARNING: Do not read without a strong tolerance for BLLSHT!This is Trump's tirade after a judge ruled that adding his name to the Kennedy Center was illegal, ordering it to be removed, and halting his plans to shut it down for renovations. It's more than he's ever written about helping Americans.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-05-30T09:43:27.430Z

Trump repeated the same or similar post three times within 24 hours. He used more than half of his harangue (385 out of 723 words) to attack the judge’s wife as “an anti Trump Hater.” He whined that “Unless I am free to do what I do better than anyone else…I have no interest in continuing what could only be a hopeless journey into “NEVER NEVER LAND.” And his ludicrous argument against the ruling was that “a large Board of some of the most distinguished people in the Country voted unanimously to put the name up. I didn’t do it, the Board did.”

For the record, Trump’s argument had not only already been rejected by the court, it is grossly dishonest. As was also reported by the The Guardian…

“Shortly after taking office last year, Trump sparked controversy when he appointed himself chair of the Kennedy Center’s board of trustees in February, calling it a ‘take-over’. He purged the board and replaced them with his own appointees. The board of the Kennedy Center then voted in favor of the proposal to add Trump’s name in December, culminating an aggressive effort of his administration to remake Washington’s arts and culture institutions to his liking.”

Not surprisingly, Fox News quickly leaped to Trump’s defense. Their official Senior Trump-Fluffer, Maria Bartiromo, who herself is a Trump appointee on the Center’s board, was outraged on his behalf. So she tweeted that…

“The board already approved the name change @kencen the way these judges go after @realDonaldTrump is absolutely sick and the history books will reveal how sick and un American they are -Grow Up & stop wasting everyone’s time on your politics.”

REALLY? Bartiromo is either lying (again), or is pitifully ignorant of the facts noted above. What’s more, she was cited multiple times for her flagrant lying in the defamation lawsuit that cost Fox News $787 million for lying about the 2020 presidential election being “rigged” by Dominion Software. That’s likely to be more prominent in history books than whatever she is complaining about now.

As for “wasting everyone’s time on politics,” what does she think Trump is doing with his relentless self-aggrandizing efforts to exalt himself at the Kennedy Center, as well as the Institute of Peace, his golden vanity ballroom, his triumphal arch, and his new proposal to put his scowling mug on a $250.00 bill? Which ironically would just remind people of what it costs to fill their tank, pay for housing, get health insurance, or buy groceries.

Bartiromo’s tweet just parroted Trump’s rant, including his claims about his Board of Flunkies and his attacks on the judge’s wife. She concluded by asking “Do they not realize [America] wants @realDonaldTrump to win?” Considering that Trump’s approval rating is sitting at record lows, you have to wonder what fantasy world she resides in?

Fox News Warns Against Giving the Nuclear Codes to Mentally Declining Presidents – Like Trump?

Posted by on May 29, 2026 at 2:29 pm. 0 Comments :

Throughout the presidential campaign of 2024, Donald Trump and the Republican Party focused obsessively on the perceived weaknesses of President Biden, despite the fact that he had dropped out of the race. They made mental health a key factor for choosing a national leader.

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

Donald Trump, Insane, Straight Jacket

What they didn’t count on was that Trump’s own mental health would prominently figure into his own presidency. For severely years now he has been remotely diagnosed by knowledgeable professionals as a malignant narcissist, whose acute sociopathy and egocentrism combine for a potent psychological elixir of dysfunction that poses profound risks for the nation and the world. And Trump’s mental well being doesn’t compare favorably with that of his predecessor…

SEE THIS: CUE TRUMP TANTRUM: Multiple Polls Find that Most Americans Favor Biden Over Trump

Consequently, Trump is making things very difficult for his fluffers at Fox News. When the figurehead of what was once the Republican Party – now the MAGA Cult – is an octogenarian with obvious physical and mental impairments, it becomes much harder for the devotees of that cult to unleash rote criticisms based on flaws typically associated with age and intellect.

Fox News contributor Kellyanne Conway (of “alternative facts” fame), who was Trump’s campaign manager in 2016 and served in the White House during his first term, was a guest on Laura Ingraham’s program Thursday night. During her segment she made some comments that might have struck some people as peculiar for a loyal Trumpist. She said that…

“This happens to many of us, right? People that we love fall into decline physically, mentally. That’s okay. That’s life. What happens is you have to let them live out their lives quietly, in peace with dignity with their families. Enjoy the grandchildren. You don’t give them nuclear codes and the presidency of the United States.”

Without any further context, it might appear as if Conway was giving a warning about what is happening now with with Trump. It could have been said by any Democrat concerned about the declining mental health of the current occupant of the White House. However, Conway was actually attempting to denigrate President Biden. The fact that she missed her target so badly speaks to how serious Trump’s problems are.

There is, however, a significant difference between Biden and Trump. While Biden is now living quietly, in peace with dignity with his family, and enjoying his grandchildren, it is Trump who has the nuclear codes. And he is making daily threats with hostile intentions toward a variety of countries, including Iran, Oman, Cuba, and even Greenland.

What’s more, it is Trump who is exhibiting dangerous signs of instability. He has been caught sleeping though meetings that were being televised. He has been rambling incoherently in speeches and press avails. He has been behaving in a distinctly narcissistic manner, praising himself shamelessly for imaginary successes, and constructing public tributes that include statues and placing his scowling likeness on currency.

Yet somehow, Trump still manages to have convinced himself that he is in perfect health, mentally and physically. Never mind that he still hasn’t released the reports from his most recent annual physical exam, his third in 13 months. That exam included yet another cognitive test that he boasts to having “aced.” It’s become a regular thing with Trump that he regards as evidence of his superior health. However, there is another interpretation that most Americans find more relevant…

Fox News Hypes Trump’s INSANE Homeland Security Plan to Halt International Flights to Blue Cities

Posted by on May 28, 2026 at 2:00 pm. 0 Comments :

One thing that has never been in short supply since Donald Trump reoccupied the White House are truly bizarre and boneheaded ideas that forebode catastrophes for America and the American people.

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

Donald Trump baby with Fox News logo

Among Trump’s most boneheaded initiatives are his idiotic and inflationary tariffs, his obsession to build a gold-plated vanity ballroom, his $1.8 billion “weaponization” slush fund to reward violent, criminal seditionists, and his reckless and illegal war against Iran. Which is going about as well as you would imagine for a war run by a wannabe dictator with acute mental impairment.

SEE THIS: BREAKING? The Iran War Will End in ‘Days’ According to Trump, Who Has Been Saying that for Months

This week Trump’s Secretary of Homeland Security, Markwayne Mullin, provided a brand new notion that stretches the margins of MAGA madness. During a typically friendly “interview” by Sean Hannity on Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda (aka Fox News), Mullin threatened to prohibit all international air travel into the United States from landing in what the DHS has deemed are “sanctuary cities.”

“We are currently drawing up plans to say, listen, in these sanctuary cities where the local radical left Democrats aren’t allowing us to do our job and enforce federal laws, then we shouldn’t be processing international flights into their cities.”

More proof the Trump regime has gone full fascist.Trump's DHS boss thinks government can tell airlines where they can operate based on politics.Prohibiting flights into New York, Chicago, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Seattle, etc., will send the national economy into a death spiral.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-05-27T08:47:42.153Z

REALLY? That may be the dumbest of the impressive array of dumbfuckery that the Trump regime has unloaded to date. First of all, it is government intrusion into private enterprise that the airline industry isn’t going to tolerate. Secondly, it is based entirely on political biases that adds a new layer of illegality to a plan that couldn’t pass constitutional muster anyway. Thirdly, it would send the nation into an economic tailspin, causing irreparable harm to every business associated with travel and hospitality. Just what the already faltering economy needs.

Coming just prior to the U.S. hosting the World Cup and the Olympics – and the expected massive influx of world travelers to America – compounds the idiocy of it all. Anyone could see just how ridiculous such an action would be. Well, anyone but the Trump-fluffers in the MAGA media. So how did Fox News respond to this preposterous proposal? By worshipfully embracing it like good cult minions. This is what Harris Faulkner, co-host of Fox’s “Outnumbered” had to say…

“The latest DHS list of current sanctuary cities includes Boston, Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco. and along with Newark, all of those airports handle 1,100 international flights per day, carrying around 185,000 passengers.

“Well, they’re not just gonna not fly. They’re gonna go to places where they’re not sanctuary districts. They’re gonna go to red states and cities. And what will that look like? A boon for the red states. And again, people will just hate living in blue states.”

HOLY TOLEDO! Well, not Toledo. That’s a “blue” city. Along with those Faulkner itemized above, and the District of Columbia, Houston, Dallas, Atlanta, Orlando, Miami, Pittsburgh, Minneapolis, Detroit, Cleveland, New Orleans, Las Vegas, San Diego, and Tucson. In fact, it was difficult to find any major cities with international airports that are “red” cities.

Does Faulkner and Fox News really believe that international travelers are going to be happy to fly into Boise, Jacksonville, Omaha, or Tulsa (all lovely cities), rather than New York, Los Angeles, or Chicago? Would they have to catch limited connecting flights to the destinations that they really want to visit? How would that be a “boon” for red cities, other than to create a lot more work for law enforcement and hospitals due to the intolerable and dangerous traffic jams at their inadequate airports?

The morning after his Hannity appearance, Mullin was back on Fox News reiterating his redlining of blue cities threat. It’s difficult to imagine that they would ever actually go through with it. But it is more proof that these Trumpists never think anything through beyond a preliminary assessment of whether or not their audience is stupid enough to believe them.

Which they don’t really have to worry about because the Fox audience has been brainwashed to the point of having such squeaky clean brains that they will buy whatever they are told by their MAGA masters.

GRIFTER-IN-CHIEF: Trump Lauds the Agency He Corrupted that Regulates His Own Family Crypto Scams

Posted by on May 27, 2026 at 2:34 pm. 1 Comments :

The fortune that Donald Trump has made since reoccupying the White House dwarfs that of many third world nations. He has amassed billions of dollars by opening channels through which conflicted donors, greedy corporations, and nefarious foreign operatives, could funnel funds directly – and secretly – into his pockets.

Trump Baby on Cash Pile

High the list of the money laundering enterprises that Trump developed is the Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG) that runs his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social. That business has wandered off into a variety of totally unrelated activities such as cryptocurrency, mutual funds, gambling, artificial intelligence, and nuclear fusion. None of which have helped it to avoid becoming a pitiful financial fiasco that has lost investors billions of dollars.

Nevertheless, Trump has successfully managed these failures in a way that still nets him a fortune. Part of the reason for that success is that Trump has gamed the system to always provide profitable benefits for him. And true to form, Trump makes sure to thank himself for his illicit largesse, as he did Wednesday morning in a Truth Social post. He wrote in part that…

“It is critically important that the CFTC’s exclusive authority over Prediction Markets is maintained, and that they will thrive. Under my leadership, we are setting ‘rules of the road’ that are the Gold Standard for the States. We cannot have SCUM like Chris Christie, Letitia James, Tim Walz, and JB Pritzker setting the rules!”

That’s right! You can only have SCUM like Trump, his family, and accomplices, setting those rules. Despite the fitting acronym, the CFTC is not the Commission For Trump Corruption. It is the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, which is responsible for regulating financial transactions in the commodities markets, as well as for cryptocurrency and prediction markets.

The latter two just happen to be ventures that the Trump family is heavily engaged in. Under normal circumstances there would be legal and ethical guardrails prohibiting a president and his family from having such unsavory business associations. But there is nothing normal about Trump and his family. So naturally he is exploiting those industries to his advantage. And he is likely reacting to recent news about his criminal tendencies. As reported by the New York Times…

How Prediction Markets and Crypto Firms Steamrolled a Watchdog Agency (May 24, 2026):
“The Commodity Futures Trading Commission purged its ranks, dialed back its enforcement and boosted industries in which President Trump’s family is heavily invested.”

“(T)the CFTC, the primary regulator of a specialized sector of the financial markets, has been mowed down by the powerful business interests it is supposed to oversee, a New York Times investigation found.

In the past 16 months of the Trump administration, the commission has shrunk its work force, purged career officials, sharply curtailed crypto enforcement and helped out prediction markets at virtually every turn, The Times found. […]

“The gutting of the agency is particularly notable because of the Trump family’s deep ties to the crypto and prediction industries.”

Like so many other government agencies during the Trump regime, Trump and his cronies have fired the career professionals at the CFTC and replaced them with Trump cult loyalists. This has been the case at the “Justice” Department, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the Department of Health and Human Services, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and many more, including that Offices of Inspectors General across all agencies.

Trump has presided over a dismantling of the systems that prevent corruption by government crooks. And he did it with the intention of blazing a trail for new wealth for himself and his billionaire pals. Unfortunately for the rest of the nation, it appears to be the one thing that he is actually any good at.

Did Trump Fail His Physical? Why is He Panic-Posting Pix of Random People Sleeping on TV

Posted by on May 26, 2026 at 3:37 pm. 0 Comments :

Among the many records held by Donald Trump is that he is the oldest person ever to be inaugurated as president of the United States. The American people are reminded of that distinction every day as Trump seems to exhibit new signs of acute physical and mental decline whenever he is seen in public.

Trump in Bed, Eating, Sad

Despite Trump’s obvious impairments, he relentlessly brags that he is stronger, smarter, and better in every way than anyone who ever occupied the White House. And his loyal Republican cult disciples obediently repeat his exaltations during meetings that appear to have no other purpose than fluffing His MAGA-sty. Of course his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, is always there to back him up…

SEE THIS: HUH? Fox News Praises Trump for Being 80 Years Old and Severely Sleep Deprived

Nearing his eightieth birthday, Trump is showing signs of his age. He has several visible abnormalities that he has never explained. He has also neglected to explain why he is having his third “annual” physical exam in only thirteen months. However, he is predictably bragging about the results that have been confirmed only by his own unverified posting on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, in which he has declared himself to be “PERFECT.”

It’s safe to say that Trump’s assessment of his own health is something less than reliable. In fact, there appears to be something worrisome enough that he has resorted to preposterous claims of perfection, and has ordered his regime flunkies to deflect attention away from his problems and unto some totally fake problems of others.

Shortly after Trump concluded his latest physical at Walter Reed Hospital, his Rapid Response team on X/Twitter went to work accusing a bunch of television reporters and pundits of falling asleep on the air. They posted screenshots as their proof of these accusations. This is clearly an attempt to mock the documented videos of Trump sleeping through Cabinet meetings and other public events.

There’s just one little problem. While Trump’s dozing off is documented in videos that show him motionless with his eyes closed over time, these screenshots are stills that just caught the person looking down or blinking. [Be sure to click through to see the thread that contains the likely reason for these bizarre postings: A doctor on CNN who detailed some of Trump’s notable health issues, including what he called Trump’s “severe daytime somnolence”]

Trump's @RapidResponse47 account is posting screenshots of people allegedly sleeping on TV. It's a sad attempt to mock the videos documenting Trump sleeping at meetings and public events.But these are all stills, while Trump is seen on video. They are just making it worse. 1/3

For the record, here is a recent example of Trump drifting into dreamland. While he has done this on a pretty regular basis, with numerous videos as proof, this one was just yesterday as his Secretary of War Crimes, Pete Hegseth, was speaking at a Memorial Day event…
