Trump’s White House Counsel Threatens Democrats with Criminal Prosecutions for Doing Their Job

Elections have consequences. This is a common aphorism that Donald Trump and his MAGA cult will have to face up to over the next couple of years as they try to come to terms with how much the American people despise them.

Donald Trump, Constitution

Not that Trump and his comrades will admit to themselves that they were rejected in a historic fashion that saw Democrats winning in places like Texas, South Carolina, Kansas, and Mississippi. To the contrary. Trump and company will fervently deny reality, while taking even more aggressive stances against what was the clear will of the voters.

FOR EXAMPLE: Trump’s Attorney Genuflect, Todd Blanche, Admits that He Works For the Felon, Not For the People

Having lost the midterm election so badly, the Trump abomination is now attempting to exert pressure on the victorious Democrats. And true to form, they are doing it in a manner that violates the law as well as every standard of ethical conduct.

This constitutional breach came in the form of a letter that Trump’s White House counsel, Will Scharf, sent to the incoming chair of the House Oversight Committee, Robert Garcia. Scharf began by saying that…

“I write to remind you of the foundational limits that the Constitution imposes on congressional investigations and subpoenas, which you and members of the new Congress have evinced a clear intent to transgress.” […]

“We are monitoring the abusive and capricious threats that are now proliferating from Democrat legislators who seek to abuse the legislative process to intimidate and to interfere with the lawful functioning of government. Recent public statements underscore these concerns. You and your congressional colleagues have asserted that they will issue subpoenas to harass, threaten, and deter dedicated members of the Administration from further service.”

To be clear, Scharf is not writing to remind anyone of the limits of the Constitution. He is writing to do what he is accusing Democrats of doing. Namely, “to intimidate and to interfere with the lawful functioning of government.” Scharf’s claim that Democrats said they would issue subpoenas “to harass, threaten, and deter dedicated members of the Administration” is downright preposterous. Democrats have only pledged to do the jobs that the Constitution requires them to do.

Scharf then cited several comments by Democrats that were given to the press and which were fully protected by the free speech clauses of First Amendment of the Constitution. For example…

“Representative-Elect Ojeda wants to see Secretary Hegseth ‘squirm,’ while Representative-Elect Padilla Stout told witnesses to ‘put makeup on for the cameras’ at their hearings.”

None of that is remotely illegal. In fact, it is rather mild political rhetoric that is commonplace in America. Failing to make a coherent case for any criminality, Scharf went on to cite Garcia’s own comment aimed at Trump regime cronies to “LAWYER UP.” Once again, that’s entirely legal and, actually, good advice. But Scharf complained that it amounted to Garcia accusing Trump of criminal activity. Yeah? So what? It’s true! Scharf went on to assert that…

“Compulsory process is a power Congress has for oversight functions, and only for oversight functions. […] threats to executive branch officials designed to deter them from public service, or process designed merely to abuse or instill fear in the recipient may cross the line into blatant criminality.”

So now Scharf is falsely accusing Garcia of criminal activity. What law does Scharf think that this violates? He doesn’t bother to say. However, Garcia’s is doing nothing unusual, and in fact, it is wholly proper notice of pending investigations. Which leads us to Scharf’s closing remarks…

“The Administration will not be extorted and will not be cowed by unlawful process motivated by animus, pettiness, hatred, or any other unlawful motive to intimidate, penalize, or interfere with the lawful functioning of government.”

Absolutely! Because extortion, and animus, and pettiness, and hatred, are reserved for Trump alone. And he has made the most of it. Recently he directed his “Justice” Department to persecute Democrats for their promises to conduct appropriate oversight, which he called “extortion at the highest level.” He went even further to rant that “These SLEAZEBAGS should go to jail for what they are doing.”

SEE THIS: Scaredy Trump Threatens to Imprison Democrats for Daring to Hold Him Accountable for His Crimes

Trump’s ravings are far worse than anything that Democrats have said. And coming from the president exacerbates the harm. For his part, Rep. Garcia issued a response to Scharf’s letter that demonstrated that he isn’t taking these threats laying down…

“Let’s be clear: Congress’ authority comes from Article I of the Constitution, not from the permission of the White House. Congress has wide latitude to conduct investigations and oversight, an authority inherent in the power to legislate.

[But] The Trump administration continues to weaponize the government with threats of unconstitutional attacks on Congress. We are a co-equal branch of government and will not be deterred by baseless threats from a weaponized DOJ or from the President’s lawyers.”

Trump may try stunts like this to distract people from the real crimes that are being committed by him and his mob family every day. But it won’t work. The people are not fooled by this sleazy, pseudo lawyering. They proved that by their votes last week. And as we know, elections have consequences.

MAGA Mike Johnson is APOPLECTIC that Polls Were ‘Wildly Inaccurate’ – In Favor of Republicans?

Political losers often exhibit an impressive ability to deny reality and spin catastrophic outcomes into triumphant victories. They seem to believe that accepting defeat signals weakness, and will do anything to avoid appearing enfeebled.

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

Donald Trump, Congress, Mike Johnson

Nobody exemplifies that character flaw better than MAGA Republicans who take their cues from the undisputed champion of reality denial, Donald Trump. The results of the midterm election last week are a prime example of Trump’s capacity for self-delusion.

SEE THIS: BABBLING TRUMP Says that EVERYONE’S Net Worth Went Up $3 Billion and the Election Was RIGGED!

Among the willingly deceived is the soon-to-be former GOP House Speaker, Mike Johnson. On Tuesday he was asked about the Midterm MAGA Fiasco of 2026 and responded by claiming that it could not possibly have been predicted and that no one could have known how bad it was going to be for the GOP. He told reporters that…

“With regard to the polls, that wasn’t my opinion. Everybody saw the polls were off. They were off all over the place. None of you projected the final outcome.”

Actually, Johnson’s remarks regarding the polls were entirely his opinion. Everybody saw the polls were accurate all over the place. Every one of them projected the final outcome. For a more realistic appraisal of the accuracy of the polling, check out what CNN’s data analyst had to say about it…

“How much Copium was the president of the United States drinking before this election? […] The polling clearly showed a historic wave for Democrats and that is exactly what happened, regardless of what the man at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue might have thought was going to occur. […]

“The bottom line was the polls showed that Democrats were going to have a historically strong line in the Senate. There was a good chance that they were going to do historically well in the House of Representatives. And showed that Donald Trump was the least popular president ever going into a midterm election. And they were all right.”

If anything, the polls under estimated the performance of Democrats, predicting victories that were a few short of what they achieved in both the House and the Senate. So Johnson is actually complaining that the problem with the pollsters is that they favored Republicans. Which contradicts his prior assertions that “the polls are wrong. We’re going to defy history, and we are going to be celebrating big victories on Tuesday night.” Even worse, Johnson accused pollsters of conspiring against Republicans in an orchestrated plot to undermine them.

MORE HERE: IT’S A PSYOP! Mike Johnson Whines On Election Eve that ‘The Polling is Wrong’ – Even MAGA Polls?

It’s one thing to try to paint a rosy scenario over a difficult to tolerate situation. It’s something else entirely to manufacture a fantasy world that has no resemblance to the world the rest of us live in. Trump himself has weighed in to whine “Does anybody really believe that this ‘Election’ was honest? How could the Polls be so wrong???”

Of course the answers to Trump’s questions are “Yes,” most people believe the election was honest. And the polls speak for themselves as to how right they were. But don’t expect Trump or his MAGA cult to embrace a reality that is simply too painful for them to accept. Poor things.

BABBLING TRUMP Says that EVERYONE’S Net Worth Went Up $3 Billion and the Election Was RIGGED!

One of the most puzzling questions following the Midterm Republican Debacle of 2026, is whether Donald Trump will learn a lesson from the loss and present a more temperate persona, or triple down on crazy and become more noxious than ever. Judging from the first few days post-election the answer appears to be the latter.

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

Donald Trump

Within hours of the election results, Trump issued a virtual declaration war by promoting his Senior Neo-Fascist Advisor, Stephen Miller, to White House Chief of Staff. He also directed his Attorney Genuflect, Todd Blanche, to persecute and imprison his Democratic foes. These are acts of escalation of hostile partisanship, not moderation.

SEE THIS: Scaredy Trump Threatens to Imprison Democrats for Daring to Hold Him Accountable for His Crimes

Then Trump rushed off to do an interview on the newly MAGA-fied CBS News that was utterly devoid of any meaningful substance. Which was predicted here. There was, however, one part of the interview that was interesting for revealing just how out of touch Trump is. 60 Minutes correspondent Ross Douthat began…

Douthat: Your net worth went up by $3 billion.
Trump: So did everyone’s.
Douthat: My net worth did not go up by $3 billion.
Trump: You should’ve owned stock. I have a lot of money. Far more than I ever thought I’d have.

DOUTHAT: Your net worth went up by $3 billionTRUMP: So did everyone’sDOUTHAT: My net worth did not go up by $3 billion TRUMP: You should’ve owned stock. I have a lot of money. Far more than I ever thought I’d have

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-11-08T23:54:38.702Z

In that brief excerpt Trump exposed so much. To begin with, his claim that “everyone’s” net worth went up $3 billion is beyond delusional. And when Douthat pushed back gently by informing Trump that his net worth did not increase that much, Trump claimed that it was because he didn’t own any stock. Although Trump knows nothing about Douthat’s investment portfolio. But it’s fair to say that it isn’t in the billions. What’s more, most Americans don’t have stock portfolios.

Finally, Trump brags about his own money saying that he does have “Far more than I ever thought I’d have.” Which is an admission that he has profited enormously from the presidency, while the American people have struggled to keep their heads above water. In fact, he made more in the past two years than he has ever made in any comparable period of his life. And he seems to think that saying these things makes him look good.

There was another post-election commentary from Trump in a post he made to his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social. After previously conceding that he would accept the results of the election, it took only a few days to reverse himself and adopt his familiar stance that any election that he loses is rigged. Trump raged…

“Does anybody really believe that this ‘Election’ was honest? How could the Polls be so wrong??? Some early voting ‘dumps’ were so large that it was impossible to win, no matter how many people went to vote. It’s all about the machines, which are far more important than the voter!.”

To answer Trump’s question, yes. Most believe that this election was honest. And as usual, Trump doesn’t offer a shred of evidence that there were any problems with it. He just makes some baseless allegations related to polling that was mostly accurate. Every credible pollster predicted a wave of Democratic victories across the country. And the fact that those polls existed, and were right, triggered Trump’s tantrum…

Sadly, Trump has failed to hear the booming voice of the people. He is preparing to unleashing ever more hostility and animus onto the nation to punish its citizens for not worshipping him. But if he thinks that behaving so abhorrently will win him any support, he will be sorely disappointed. It will just flush him farther down the drain to the sewer of his own making. Right where he belongs.

Trump’s Attorney Genuflect, Todd Blanche, Admits that He Works For the Felon, Not For the People

In the opening days of the Lame Duck Presidency of Donald Trump, the fumbling fowl that occupies the White House is doubling down on the vileness that earned him a historic electoral smackdown. His first move was to fire his Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, and replace her with his Senior Neo-Fascist Advisor, Stephen Miller.

Donald Trump and Todd Blanche puppet

Trump is obviously sending a message to the nation that he intends to be even more repulsive in the remaining two years of his term than ever. And while that might seem like an impossible goal, never presume that Trump has hit rock bottom. The well of his capacity for the nauseating is deeper than the Mariana Trench. He is already threatening to jail his perceived political foes.

SEE THIS: Scaredy Trump Threatens to Imprison Democrats for Daring to Hold Him Accountable for His Crimes

The Trump abomination …er… administration is preparing to stifle any and all opposition by ordering his flunkies to carry out his authoritarian aspirations. To that end his Attorney Genuflect, Todd Blanche, was dispatched for an interview on Fox News Sunday where he affirmed his intentions to defend Trump and his lawless comrades, while attacking his critics and threatening them with incarceration in MAGA gulags.

In short, Blanche is embracing his role as a Trump mob boss by pledging his loyalty to the pResident, rather than to the law and the American people. He told Fox’s Shannon Bream that “if you work in this administration, you have a lawyer. It’s me.”

wow — Blanche on Fox News Sunday claims oversight from Dems is "not the way this country can survive or live with these ongoing threats … if you work in this administration, you have a lawyer. It's me."(Note that at the end even the Fox News host is a bit taken aback by Blanche's rhetoric … )

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-11-08T15:22:42.755Z

WRONG! The Attorney General is not the lawyer for individuals in the White House or other administration posts. His duty is to the law and the exercise and compliance thereto. Trump and his cronies can get outside counsel if they are the subjects of investigations or prosecutions.

Blanche knows that. But it didn’t stop him from adding a bunch of baseless allegations against Democrats, including his opinion that what Trump is frustrated and angry about is “these outright threats to come after people, to investigate people, to ruin their lives.”

REALLY? First of all, Democrats have not made any threats to “come after people” or to “ruin their lives.” They merely promised to conduct the appropriate oversight obligations that are their responsibilities as members of Congress. Naturally, that terrifies Trump, and Blanche, and the others in Trump’s circles who know that they are in violation of the law.

Blanche’s phony complaints about Democrats coming after Republicans is all the more disgusting when the truth is that it is Blanche and other Trump puppets who have already gone after Democrats who did nothing wrong. Here’s a breakdown of some of the people that Trump’s abomination has persecuted…

DEMOCRATS: Sen. Mark Kelly and five other members of Congress, Sen. Adam Schiff, Gov. Gavin Newsom, Letitia James, Rep. Ilhan Omar, Jerome Powell, Lisa Cook, Rep. LaMonica McIver, Don Lemon, Jack Smith, David Hearn, Southern Poverty Law Center, Media Matters, ActBlue.

REPUBLICANS: John Bolton, James Comey, Cassidy Hutchinson.

Notice anything? They are all Democrats, except for a few Republicans who flipped on Trump. And most of them have had their cases dismissed. Do we need further proof that Trump is turning his “Justice” Department into an agency of political retribution? If so, here is what Blanche said in the same Fox News interview…

“I understand there are people who have said they believe there is some sort of corruption. That’s largely because the media and Democrats have just highlighted, any time there’s any kind of success in this country that has to do with anybody associated with this administration, they call that corruption.”

Blanche: "I understand there are people who have said they believe there is some sort of corruption. That's largely because the media and Democrats have highlighted any time there's any kind of success in this country that has to do with anybody in this administration, they call that corruption… "

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-11-08T15:26:46.300Z

So now Blanche is blaming the media for the appearance of corruption by Trump and Company. What’s more, the valid allegations of corruption have nothing to with with what Blanche calls “success.” Trump’s corruption is plain for all to see. It involves his taking of bribes in the form of jets from Middle Eastern dictators, and purchases of phony crypto merch, his defiance of court orders related to unlawful deportations of migrants, and destruction of federal property, and his waging an illegal war against Iran.

And that’s just for starters. What Blanche has made clear – literally – is that he he works for Trump and the Trump regime. He admits that he believes he is there to defend Trump’s MAGA Republicans and to persecute innocent, patriotic Democrats. And with that admission he has added his own name to the list of Trump cronies who are in violation of the law and could be brought up on charges and/or impeached. And the sooner the better.

Scaredy Trump Threatens to Imprison Democrats for Daring to Hold Him Accountable for His Crimes

Now that the midterm elections are over, and Democrats have come away with the spoils of an epic Blue Tidal Wave, the nation can move on to the next asinine calamity stirred up by Donald Trump. And one thing that we can count on with Trump is that he will always react with calm and reason to any conflict or adversity.

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

Donald Trump fear

Oh, wait…Scratch that. It’s actually the complete opposite. Trump’s rancid, emotional, and irrational overreactions to even the slightest hint of hardship is his most predictable character flaw. Consequently, we can rely on him to unleash some way overblown bullshittery to reassure himself that he isn’t America’s Biggest Loser. Or maybe he will just accept the reality that he is a pariah and deport himself, as he recently promised.

SEE THIS: Trump Promises to Leave the US if Americans Get Tired of Him – OKAY, GO NOW!

On Saturday morning Trump was busy with what he regards as his presidential duties: posting inane comments on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. True to form, his raving was centered on the latest wound to his massive yet fragile ego, the election repudiation. Trump raged that…

“The Democrats are going around threatening a lot of people, including the Attorney General of the United States, and others, with Impeachment and many other forms of punishment, even though they admit they have no reason to do so, and there have been no impeachable acts committed, or even thought of, by the victims of this illegal process. This is extortion at the highest level, and they should be held accountable for this.”

Of course, Democrats have not been threatening anyone. They have only been stating their intentions to engage in standard congressional oversight and investigations. And that’s enough to terrify Trump. What’s more, Trump’s assertion that Democrats have “admit(ted) they have no reason” is straight out of his warped imagination.

Democrats have already identified numerous crimes and impeachable acts for which Trump could be charged. They range from his illegal war against Iran, to his defiance of court orders, to his many fraudulent schemes to enrich himself. But he was just getting started in his morning rant. He continued…

“Also, they’re threatening our Donors, some of the most respected people anywhere in the World, with imprisonment, and many other levels of punishment, just because they happen to be Republicans, or Republican supporters. This is Weaponization and Lawfare at another level.”

Once again, Democrats haven’t threatened anyone. What Trump is probably referring to are requests from Congress for information related to Trump’s vanity ballroom, for which he has admitted taking donations from conflicted people and corporations. That’s not a threat. It’s appropriate oversight by Congress. And Trump still had more rage to unload…

“The Senator from Michigan, Elissa Slotkin, is saying that she is going to go after all young people that believe in Republican Values, and that give even the slightest inclination to be a Republican.”

It goes without saying that Sen. Slotkin never did or said any of what Trump is asserting. It’s just another baseless allegation for which he provides no evidence, as usual. And then he closed saying that…

“The imprisonment should be against these EXTORTIONISTS, and Republicans should get smart, fast! Threatening letters have been sent to many people, all innocent, from Democrat Political Leaders. By copy of this statement, I am ordering the Department of Justice to look into this criminal act, immediately!”

It is typical of Trump to accuse his political foes of high crimes and misdemeanors for which he is actually guilty. And this is no exception. Trump is the one who regularly threatens Democrats with persecution and imprisonment for no reason other than that he despises them and the Constitution.

Furthermore, we see him here demanding that his Attorney Genuflect, Todd Blanche, initiate a witch hunt against unnamed Democrats for uncommitted crimes. And for good measure, Trump posted a second comment to bolster his threats of jail without trial or conviction…

“The threats being made by the Democrat Party against innocent Republican Donors and Party Members are absolutely unprecedented, and totally illegal…These SLEAZEBAGS should go to jail for what they are doing.”

For the record, Trump’s obsession with persecuting and imprisoning innocent Democrats is well established. Here are just a few of his prior threats…

Trump’s First Post-Election Interview Will Be 60 Minutes Sunday. What Will He Say? That’s Easy!

This week Donald Trump and his MAGA Republican Party suffered one of the worst electoral debacles of modern times. Democrats flipped at least seven Republican Senate seats. They flipped at least five GOP-held governorships. They now have majorities in the House, the Senate, and the state houses.

Donald Trump on CBS News (See BS)

Nevertheless, Trump has characteristically failed to learn the lessons of this Blue Tidal Wave that has swept so many Republicans out to sea. Virtually every issue that voters identified as their reasons for voting Democratic were issues that Trump initiated and advanced, including his inflationary tariffs, waging reckless and illegal wars, militarizing American streets, and relentless corruption. Naturally, Trump doesn’t see it that way.

SEE THIS: HYSTERICAL: Trump Blames the Historic Rout of his MAGA Republican Party on – Fox News?

Trump is employing his routine strategy of blaming his failures on everyone and everything other than himself. In a spectacularly tone deaf move, Trump promoted his Senior Neo-Fascist Advisor, Stephen Miller, to Chief of Staff, replacing Susie Wiles. Last month Trump complained that reports of her stepping down were “fake news” and that there was “zero chance” she was leaving.

Now CNN’s Brian Stelter is reporting that Trump is giving his first post-election interview to conservative correspondent Ross Douthat on the newly MAGA-fied CBS News network’s “60 Minutes” program this Sunday. Which hardly seems like a newsworthy event considering the biases of the outlet. Even worse, Trump’s predictability will almost certainly produce an interview that will be devoid of any substance or sanity. It will go something like this…

Question: Who is responsible for the GOP’s midterm election fiasco?
Trump: Well, it wasn’t me. That I can tell you.
Question: Okay, then who was it?
Trump: It was the fake news news, including Fox. And the voters who were angry with Republicans, not me. Because those RINOs failed to promote how incredibly successful I’ve been. Also, the election was rigged.
Question: What exactly were some of your successes?
Trump: Well, I raised trillions of dollars with tariffs.
Question: But if the economy is doing so well, why are people unable to afford gas, and groceries, and healthcare, and housing?
Trump: Affordability is a hoax. We have more gas than ever that I got from Iran.
Question: Speaking of Iran, that war has been going on now for eight months. When will it end?
Trump: Well. first of all it’s not a war. And it has been a huge success that I won many times already. And it hasn’t raised gas prices very much.
Question: So then why did voters reject everything that you stand for?
Trump: Because the sleazy fake news traitors put out nothing but negative propaganda about me. I’m more popular than ever, and more than every other president. I’ve made America greater than ever before in history.

Trump will stall for time by filibustering with nonsense about how awful the “low IQ, radical far left communist Democrats” are, and his great relationships with foreign dictators like Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un, and his selfless efforts to beautify Washington, D.C. with monuments to himself, such as the Lincoln Reflecting Pool, the Kennedy Center, his vanity ballroom, and a “triumphal” arch that is also an ammunition dump and sniper’s nest.

And let’s not forget what he’s done to the Oval Office, which he absurdly believes he can preserve forever as a National Monument with an executive order.

And that’s the whole interview in a nutshell, with an emphasis on the “NUT.”. There will be little else discussed, and nothing of any significance revealed. So now you all can skip watching another half hour of Trump lying, and whining, and lobbing infantile insults at his perceived enemies. You’re welcome!

Lara Trump Tells Fox News that Papa Trump Should Get ‘a Lot of Credit’ for Starting the Iran War

In the aftermath of one of histories most devastating electoral disasters, the architects of it appear to remain oblivious as to why it came about. Donald Trump and his MAGA Republican Party lost both houses of Congress and several critical governorships on their way to Lame Duck Ville for the remainder of Trump’s occupation of the White House.

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

Fox News, Lara Trump, My View

There are a variety of contributing factors to this GOP fiasco. All of which center around Trump and his abysmal mismanagement of the nation. Particularly, according to most surveys, his imposition of inflationary tariffs, his militarization of American streets, his brazen corruption, and his launching of a reckless and illegal war against Iran. Although, Trump has other ideas about who was at fault.

SEE THIS: HYSTERICAL: Trump Blames the Historic Rout of his MAGA Republican Party on – Fox News?

On Thursday morning Trump’s daughter-in-lawlessness and Fox News propaganda princess, Lara, was asked about the midterm MAGA meltdown. And to no one’s surprise, she had only praise for her Sugardaddy-in-law. She wandered somewhat off topic to bring up Trump’s devotion to his misadventures in Iran.

“He’s also said ‘I would do it again. And I think you had to give pResident Trump a lot of credit. He knew that this would be politically disadvantageous for him. That this was a political loser for him, and he did it anyway because he though to would be in the best interest of the safety and security of the Amrican people.”

Lara Trump says you have to give Sugardaddy-in-Law Trump a lot of credit for his illegal war against Iran.BULL?! Trump DID NOT think it was a "political loser." He thought it would last a week and he'd make billions on Iranian oil.All he deserves to get is blame for Iran and the election losses.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-11-05T18:09:14.251Z

Okay, fine. We’ll give Trump 1,500% (his math) of the credit for invading Iran and killing thousands of innocent civilians, for no discernible purpose after ripping up an agreement with which they were in full compliance.

More to the point, Lara is just plain full of it when she claims that Trump knew that “this was a political loser for him.” From the very start Trump believed that the war would only last a week or two, and that he would be showered in glory, in addition to raking in billions of dollars by stealing Iran’s oil.

As with virtually everything that Trump does, the only interests he has are for himself and his billionaire cronies. He has made the U.S. and the world less safe, while plunging much of it into economic decline. And he still has no exit strategy after eight months.

This, of course, was a major factor in the losses that flushed so many Republicans out of Congress. But don’t expect Trump or any of his sycophantic and complicit comrades to admit it. He is congenitally incapable of taking responsibility. And naturally the same is true for his official Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News.

The good news is that the audience for Fox’s disinformation is dwindling as quickly as Trump’s approval ratings are sinking.

HYSTERICAL: Trump Blames the Historic Rout of his MAGA Republican Party on – Fox News?

There’s got to be a morning after. And the morning that followed the 2026 midterm election will go down as one of the most painful for the modern Republican Party that sold its soul to Donald Trump and his MAGA movement.

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

Donald Trump, Fox News, Fake

Democrats performed far better than even the most optimistic predictions. They picked up at least seven Republican Senate seats. They flipped at least five GOP-held governorships. They now have majorities in the House, the Senate, and the state houses. And all of it thanks to the leader of the MAGA cult, Trump himself, who has one more promise that he may want to keep…

SEE THIS: ELECTION DAY SPECIAL: Trump Promises to Leave the US if Americans Get Tired of Him – OKAY, GO NOW!

As the GOP catastrophe was unfolding, Trump was busy posting comments on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, to salve his wounded ego. And not surprisingly, he refused to acknowledge that he might have been the cause of the midterm MAGA meltdown. In one of his comments he wrote that…

“FoxNews bears responsibility for these losses by constantly and consistently putting on the Dumocrat opposition, and worse.”

Trump continues to be a pathetic and delusional sore loser.Now he is blaming Fox News for the midterm election losses that are almost entirely attributable to him. And to the extent that Fox shares any blame, it's because of their blatant bias for Trump.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-11-04T12:03:03.725Z

Of course! It was all the fault of Trump’s official Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News. Because the network would occasionally host a contentious interview with a Democrat, everything else they did to suck up to Trump and advance his wingnut crusade was swept aside. All of the disinformation that was disseminated by Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Jesse Watters, and the “Curvy Couch” potatoes of Fox and Friends, was for naught.

Furthermore, Trump’s record of imposing inflationary tariffs, waging reckless and illegal wars, and militarizing American streets, had nothing to do with the GOP’s electoral disaster. Nor did his own nasty and infantile persona, or his aspirations to rule as a dictator, have any impact on voters.

Nope, Trump can’t be blamed for any of it. Not in his malignantly narcissistic dementia. So he blames Fox News, But that’s only when he isn’t already blaming his own voters, the devoted disciples of his MAGA. To that end Trump posted a comment that raged…

“I wasn’t on the Ballot and if I was, we would have won IN A LANDSLIDE!”

MIDTERM BLUE WAVE ELECTION UPDATE…Trump: "I wasn’t on the Ballot and if I was, we would have won IN A LANDSLIDE!"And I would have won WWII in a week. And beaten Muhammad Ali. And cured cancer. And got a Tony for my portrayal of Marie Antoinette on Broadway.

Of course! Trump is the cure for all ills. He couldn’t possibly fail to bring victory by merely existing. Just the thought of him would have driven millions to the polls. But because he wasn’t actually on the ballot his cultists were going to stay at home. Never mind that he was begging his followers to “pretend” that he was on the ballot for weeks. What’s the matter with them? Why didn’t they listen and obey?

So it’s all their fault. Or Fox News’ fault. Or maybe the fault of the pathetic candidates that Trump himself recruited and endorsed. Or it was the fake news and the rigged polls. Anybody but Trump. After all, a week before election day Trump declared that he had rescued the election for the GOP saying that “We’ve turned the whole thing around…I think the the rallies have turned it, frankly.”

Apparently not. It seems the strength of the “radical, far left, lunatic, Dumocrats” was just too much for Trump and MAGA. And now he will be remanded to the role of America’s Lamest Duck for the next two years. So sad.

ELECTION DAY SPECIAL: Trump Promises to Leave the US if Americans Get Tired of Him – OKAY, GO NOW!

Over the past ten years Donald Trump has made a lot of promises. Most of them are still unfulfilled. They range from delivering a new healthcare plan, to ending Russia’s war against Ukraine, to reducing inflation and the cost of living, to ruling the nation as a dictator.

Donald Trump Walking the Plank

Oh wait. That last promise about ruling as a dictator actually has been fulfilled, at least aspirationally. Trump’s practices of governing by executive order, bypassing Congress, suppressing media, building tributes to himself, and ignoring judicial rulings are all examples of his anti-democratic, tyrannical overreach. Even the Supreme Court is, in his twisted mind, beneath him.

SEE THIS: Trump RAGES Over Supreme Court Not Bending to His Tyrannical Determination to Rig the Election

On Election Day 2026, Trump visited with his official Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, to make a closing pitch to America’s voters. And true to form, he unleashed a litany of lies regarding his tenure in his second occupation of the White House. However, he also offered a new promise that most Americans will appreciate. Trump proposed the following to his Fox & Friends pals…

“I’m at 99% approval rating in Israel. Can you believe it? If people ever got tired of me in the US, I’ll move to Israel and become prime minister. Think of it. I’m at 99 – I have the highest approval rating of anybody in history.”

First of all, let’s reply to Trump’s inquiry as to whether we can believe his claim that “I’m at 99% approval rating in Israel.” The answer is a resounding “NO!” There are no surveys that attest to Trump’s egomaniacal assertion. He does have some degree of popularity in Israel among their right-wingers, but nothing that approaches 99%.

More to the point, Trump’s suggestion that he would move to Israel if Americans got tired of him is without a doubt the most appealing promise he’s ever made. Particularly since most Americans are already way past tired of him. His approval rating is at a record low, although he and his cult disciples will never acknowledge that.

Were Trump to honor his word, he would have to leave immediately for Israel. But don’t hold your breath. Trump is not known for keeping his promises. What’s more, Israel may not be as eager to welcome him as he thinks. Especially after what he said in the same Fox News interview this morning. Regarding the extraordinarily generous aid the U.S. has provided for Israel, Trump said that…

Trump: We were giving them $4 billion, We are, but it gets cut off at the end of the year.
Fox’s Brian Kilmeade: Why?
Trump: Why? Because they don’t need it, Brian. I mean, I ask them because they don’t need it, and because why should we suffer the slings from lunatics like an El-Sayed when they don’t need it? It’s a bad – it’s a bad talking point.

Trump says that he discussed this with Israel’s current Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, who agreed that it would be a good idea to end the aid. Which is preposterous. Why would Netanyahu shut off billions in aid to his own country.

Clearly this conversation never happened. Trump is just making it up in a desperate attempt to scrounge up some more votes from Americans who are weary of the U.S. funding Israel’s war efforts. That’s why he brought up Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, a critic of the funding, in his response. And Trump’s admission that his reasoning to cut the aid was because it created a “bad talking point,” rather than for a coherent strategic purpose, is ridiculous and dangerous.

Hopefully we won’t have to endure much more of this insanity from Trump. The election of more Democrats in Congress should provide some shield from his worst tendencies. Of course it could just trigger an escalation of his madness. If we’re lucky he will finally keep a promise and deport himself. We’ll see.

IT’S A PSYOP! Mike Johnson Whines On Election Eve that ‘The Polling is Wrong’ – Even MAGA Polls?

On Election Eve it is becoming clear that Donald Trump and his MAGA Republican Party are stuck in loop of pitiful desperation and delusional optimism. They are insisting that they will prevail in the midterm election with surprising victories, while simultaneously lamenting that all is lost and that the radical communists are about to takeover the federal government.

Donald Trump Circling the Drain

Leading this parade of perspective-challenged Pollyannas is Dear Leader Trump himself. Refusing to acknowledge just how unpopular he is, Trump assigned himself to be the campaign’s featured spokesperson as he embarked on a month-long nationwide tour of exclusively red states. Sadly, even with that itinerary he wasn’t eagerly welcomed by the GOP candidates struggling to avoid defeat.

SEE THIS: Cockeyed Narcissist Trump On the Election: He Thinks He Himself ‘Turned the Whole Thing Around’

Among the MAGA-tists fooling themselves about their impending electoral fate is the GOP Squeaker of the House, MAGA Mike Johnson. Shielding himself from the likely outcome that banishes him from the Speakers chair, Johnson visited with CNN’s Senior Trump-Fluffer, Scott Jennings, to unleash a shocking declaration of political intrigue involving a conspiracy hatched by America’s pollsters…

“The polling is wrong, okay? Everybody understands the polls have been off. They overestimate Democrats and underrepresent Republicans. They blame Republicans. of course, because they say conservatives don’t answer polls anymore. They learn not to trust. They know who that person is on the other side of the phone.

“IT’S A PSYOP! They’re trying to create this idea of a blue wave. And they’re using the poll numbers to do it.”

Mike Johnson describes Republicans' bad polling as a "psyop"

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-11-02T18:27:15.719Z

HOLY SHIH TZU! Dozens of unaffiliated pollsters have all gotten together to fabricate their survey results in order to depress Republican voters so badly that they will abandon any desire to actually cast their votes. Never mind that bad polls can often motivate voters to turnout in greater numbers to avoid losing. They can also suppress the votes of the other side who might feel so confident of victory that their vote isn’t necessary and they stay home.

In other words, poll results can pull both ways. And in the end their impact on altering an election outcome is negligible. But undeterred by reason – or reality – Johnson dispenses his oblivious opinions as if they were fact. What’s more, he doesn’t account for how this alleged conspiracy formed between pollsters that have no business or political relationship. In fact, the notoriously conservative pollsters are producing surveys that are generally aligned with those from more traditional sources.

Obviously, Johnson wants to incentivize Republican voters to go to the polls. But if he has to do that by persuading them that the prospects of victory aren’t as dire as they seem, he’s already lost. It’s like telling the people in a canoe approaching the edge of the Niagara Falls that “Hey, it’s not as far down as it looks, and it’s just water. Keep paddling.”

Yeah, that’ll convince ’em. What a great closing pitch for a campaign that has spent months focusing on scary communists, transgender kids, American jihadists, and how fantastic the economy has been for Donald Trump and his family and friends.
