WTF Is In Trump’s Taxes That Just Made His US Attorney Say Releasing Them Would ‘Destroy’ Trump?

Posted by on May 21, 2026 at 1:39 pm. 1 Comments :

In the wake of the unprecedented and utterly corrupt settlement that Donald Trump made to shield himself from any tax fraud liability, while rewarding his StormTrumpers and other Trump cultists for their treasonous crimes, Trump’s propaganda squad has been hitting the media trail to sell this barrel of rotten apples to the public.

Donald Trump

The settlement deal that Trump made was not only corrupt due to the way it granted generous benefits to Trump and his cohorts, but also because he made the deal with himself, since he was both the plaintiff and the defendant in the lawsuit. He was suing the IRS that he presides over. And he agreed to settle with himself on terms that were highly favorable to him. What a surprise. Although he left a little loophole open that Democrats must take advantage of…

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

The PR campaign that the Trump regime has embarked upon since announcing this settlement is as incompetent as one might expect from the notoriously incompetent Trump camp. And the latest example is the interview given by Trump’s U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Jay Clayton, to CNBC on Thursday morning.

Replying to questions about Trump’s “Weaponization Slush Fund,” Clayton said that the IRS “intentionally released” Trump’s taxes to embarrass Trump. And that that was the reason for the settlement agreement that created a $1.8 billion slush fund for the criminals and traitors loyal to Trump. Clayton summed up saying that…

“I don’t think we’re gonna be talking about this issue in a week because the American people are gonna say, ‘Look, they leaked his tax returns, they tried to destroy him.”

US attorney for SDNY Jay Clayton defends Trump's taxpayer-funded J6 slush fund: "I don't think we're gonna be talking about this issue in a week because the American people are gonna say, 'Look, they leaked his tax returns, they tried to destroy him. Okay, we resolved that.'"

First of all, it is a flagrant lie that the IRS intentionally released Trump’s taxes. In fact, the IRS didn’t release them at all. They were released by an independent contractor who was working for the IRS during the Trump administration. The contractor was prosecuted and convicted by President Biden’s Justice Department. So by applying Clayton’s logic to the facts, it was the Trump administrations that tried to destroy Trump.

Secondly, the American people are very likely to be talking about this at least until the midterm elections in November. Corruption by the president is a hot topic prior to elections. And Trump has committed more than his share of corruption since his return to the White House. But this time his shameless larceny has even drawn the ire of many Republicans.

Finally, Clayton’s assertion that releasing Trump’s taxes constitutes an effort to “destroy” him is particularly notable. How would leaking his tax returns, like every other president has done in modern times, destroy Trump? Unless, of course, they proved that he was doing something wrong and possibly illegal. So Clayton is effectively raising suspicions that Trump has broken the law and the evidence is in his tax returns which, therefor, must remain secret.

For good measure, Trump’s “acting” Attorney General, Todd Blanche, also sought to defend Trump’s Slush Fund. In doing so he isn’t helping his insistence that he isn’t still “acting” as Trump’s personal criminal defense lawyer. Blanche tried to excuse Trump’s apparent tax fraud during an interview with Paula Reid, CNN’s chief legal affairs correspondent…

Reid: The New York Times has reported that Trump could have owed up to $100 million because of ongoing audits. So are you saying this is not an effort to help him avoid financial liability?
Blanche: That’s the definition of completely made up fake news, and then it becomes real news because they repeat it

REID: The Times has reported that Trump could have owed up to $100 million because of ongoing audits. So are you saying this is not an effort to help him avoid financial liability?BLANCHE: That's the definition of completely made up fake news, and then it becomes real news because they repeat it

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-05-21T01:15:58.118Z

Blanche is parroting Trump’s whining about the “fake news” with the same total absence of facts that Trump does. The article in the New York Times was thorough, well documented, and based largely on Trump’s actual financial records. So trying to dismiss it all with a cheap talking point isn’t going to persuade many people that Trump isn’t a crook.

However, Trump and Blanche and Clayton, et al, know all of that. Which is why Trump’s corrupt settlement deal also included a provision that would prohibit the IRS from auditing Trump, his family, and his businesses. Why do you suppose that was stipulated in the settlement? What is he so desperate to conceal? An innocent man would be anxious to reveal proof of his innocence. but Trump couldn’t be acting more guilty if he tried.

TOTALLY DERANGED: Trump Thinks that If Jesus Counted the Votes, He would Have Won in California

Posted by on May 20, 2026 at 2:30 pm. 0 Comments :

The heartbreak of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is that its sufferers mistakenly think that it’s a malady that inflicts people who frequently criticize Trump. Which makes no sense. That would be a sign rational coherence and good mental health.

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

Donald Trump Messiah

In fact, TDS would be more accurately defined as a pathological disorder that causes one to virtually worship an aspiring cult leader with transparent moral and ethical impairments. And there appears to be a small but loud minority of TDS sufferers in America. Most prominently, Donald Trump himself.

SEE THIS: Trump is APPALLED that Nobody is Talking About a CNN Poll With 100% Approval – That Doesn’t Exist

On Wednesday morning Trump spoke to reporters on his way to assault Coast Guard cadets with an entirely inappropriate, partisan, self-exalting commencement speech. He spent most of his time praising himself, insulting Democrats, and lying about both. Very little of his address could be described as inspiring or patriotic.

Among the symptoms of TDS is the compulsion to repeat incessantly claims that Trump won every election that he every ran in. In his demented perception all of his losses were the result of the elections being “rigged and stolen” from him, despite his never having been able to produce a shred of evidence. He lost 60 court cases challenging election results.

At the Coast Guard event Trump was having another episode of TDS panic. He was asked about the upcoming election in Los Angles for mayor, where Spencer Pratt, a reality TV goofball (just like Trump), is the candidate that Trump has embraced. Although he says that he doesn’t know Pratt, he supports him because he “heard he’s a big MAGA person.” Which is the only criteria Trump requires to commit his support. Then Trump commenced to whining about rigged elections saying that…

“You have a really rigged vote in California…You have all the mail-in ballots and everything else. It’s very hard to win because the elections are very dishonest. If we had Jesus Christ come down and count the votes, I would’ve won California. Because I do great with Hispanics. But it’s a rigged vote.”

Trump: "If we had Jesus Christ come down and count the votes, I would've won California. But it's a rigged vote."

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-05-20T13:43:37.077Z

For the record, Trump lost in California by 20 points in 2024, and by 30 points in 2020 and 2016. While Jesus is said to have turned water into wine, there’s no biblical record that he could or would turn millions of votes for a decent, honest Democrat into votes for Trump – a serial adulterer, adjudicated rapist, and convicted felon.

It isn’t surprising that Trump, who has literally placed himself in the role of Jesus, would think that Jesus would help him prevail in an election. If anything, Jesus, who preached love, and forsook wealth and materialism, would be more likely to turn votes for Trump into votes for a Democratic candidate who supports values such as caring for the needy, healing the sick, and welcoming immigrants. You know, Christian values.

Trump’s rant also complained about alleged problems with mail-in voting, which is how millions of people vote, including Trump. And once again, he has failed to ever prove that there are any problems beyond a handful of instances that had no impact on any election outcome. Trump also boasted that he does “great with Hispanics.” He’s going to find out how wrong he is about that in November, especially in Texas.

Trump’s case of TDS is acute and disabling. He can’t open his mouth without exhibiting the severity of his illness. But he has had some success in infecting others with weak immune systems, or just weak minds. Some of whom are Republican members of Congress.

However, there is also growing evidence of herd immunity shielding much of the U.S. population from TDS. And the more Trump’s symptoms are on display, the more people are repulsed, and subsequently saved, from the tragedy of acquiring Trump Derangement Syndrome.

BOO HOO: JD Vance Says the Treasonous Rioters Who Beat Cops Don’t Get Any Sympathy – No, REALLY!

Posted by on May 19, 2026 at 4:17 pm. 2 Comments :

Isn’t it comforting to know that while the American people are struggling to make ends meet, Donald Trump is focusing all of his attention on the beautification of Washington, D.C. He is building a billion dollar vanity ballroom next to the White House. He is doing an unnecessary renovation of the Reflecting Pool by the Lincoln Memorial. He’s shutting down the Kennedy Center to rehab it for reasons no one understands. And he has several remodeling projects in progress at the White House.

Donald Trump Insurrection

Never mind that the economy is suffering from rising inflation. Or that there’s a war going on against Iran that Trump can’t figure out how to end. Or that people can’t afford health insurance, or food, or housing, and the programs that provide aid are being slashed. Or that the national debt is hitting record highs. It appears that there is only enough money in the treasury to fund Trump’s pet projects, but nothing that benefits the American people.

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

The Trump administration’s solutions to these problems is to pretend that they don’t exist. To that end they have sent their best messenger, JD Vance, into the fray to make the case that everything is just hunky dory. And he’s doing a bang up job of it.

Vance showed up in the White House Press Briefing Room Tuesday morning in place of Trump’s Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, who is on maternity leave. He began by assuring the assembled reporters that Trump never said that he didn’t care about people’s financial situations (he did say it), and defending Trump’s stock trading in companies that he has a financial interest in, and condemning fraudulent schemes that sound exactly like what Trump engages in.

Amidst this embarrassing display poorly dispensed PR, Vance was asked about the nearly $2 billion “Anti-Weaponization” slush fund that Trump connived with his “Justice” Department to reward his StormTrumpers. Which led to this boneheaded bomblet that he dropped on the reporters…

“You know who never, ever gets an ounce of sympathy when it comes to that disproportionate sentencing? People who vote for Donald Trump and participated in the January 6th protest.”

Vance: "You know who never gets an ounce of sympathy when it comes to disproportionate sentencing? People who vote for Donald Trump and participated in the January 6th protest."

— The Bulwark (@thebulwark.com) 2026-05-19T18:35:17.751Z

Seriously? What Vance is asking for is sympathy for the insurrectionists – incited by Trump – who stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021, assaulted police officers, vandalized the property, threatened the lives of members of Congress and then-Vice-President Mike Pence, and sought to undermine democracy by overturning the election.

Of course. Why not show sympathy for these traitors? After all, most of them already received pardons from Trump. And now Trump is seeking to reward them financially for their treason. So haven’t they suffered enough? After all, Trump is going to need them for his next attempted insurrection when he is evicted from the White House by voters, or maybe sooner by impeachment or the 25th Amendment. It’s a virtual advertisement for aspiring anti-American mercenaries.

This is a perfect demonstration of what Trump and his MAGA minions think about democracy and the Constitution. They have no sympathy for the plight of the American people who their policies are harming. But hey are full of it when it comes to lawbreakers, and cop beaters, and criminals who commit fraud on behalf of Dear Leader and his cult.

The only thing surprising about any of this that they are doing it all right out in the open. And they wonder why Trump’s approval ratings are in the toilet.

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

Just when you thought that the bar for presidential corruption couldn’t get any lower. Donald Trump demonstrates that he doesn’t know the meaning of the word “bottom.” Or most other words with two syllables or more.

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

Donald Trump Rally, Sieg Heil

Earlier this year Trump filed a $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS to pay him reparations for alleged damages from the leaking of his tax returns that revealed that he paid little or taxes for several years. Of course the real victims were the American people who Trump was shortchanging for the fair share of taxes that he owed.

Now Trump’s “Justice” Department is dropping that lawsuit in exchange for creating a $1.776 billion slush fund (get it? 1776?) to compensate the convicted rioters and cop beaters who stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021, and who he later pardoned. It’s an idea he has been talking about for at least a year.

SEE THIS: Trump Floats Proposal to Pay Reparations for the January 6th Insurrectionists Who Assaulted Cops

Trump is calling this his “Anti-Weaponization Fund,” a name that doesn’t really describe the nefarious purposes that it was created for. What Trump means by “weaponization” is any activity that criticizes or interferes with his aspirations of authoritarian rule. The Justice Department outlined the fund saying that…

“The U.S. Department of Justice today announced that as a part of the settlement agreement in President Donald J. Trump v. Internal Revenue Service, the Attorney General established ‘The Anti-Weaponization Fund’ to provide a systematic process to hear and redress claims of others who suffered weaponization and lawfare.” […]

“Per the settlement, plaintiffs will receive a formal apology but no monetary payment or damages of any kind. They have agreed, in exchange for the creation of this fund, to drop their pending lawsuit with prejudice, and also withdraw two administrative claims including for damages resulting from the unlawful raid of Mar-a-Lago and the Russia-collusion hoax.”

The fund, which is already facing challenges in court by Democrats, was manufactured by Trump’s Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, who has also served as Trump’s personal criminal defense lawyer. Blanche will also be administering the “systematic process” referenced in the announcement. I’m sure he’ll be fair. Right? RIGHT?

Furthermore, the references to an “unlawful raid of Mar-a-Lago and the Russia-collusion hoax” are purely Trump’s conspiracy theory lies that provide no legal foundation for any sort of compensation.

Trump’s lawsuit against the IRS, over which he presides, posed a flagrant conflict of ?interest wherein he was effectively suing himself. Trump is now settling with himself just nine before the judge hearing his case was going to rule on whether to dismiss it for its obvious conflicts.

Trump is sending a crystal clear message to those criminals, and those would-be criminals in the future, that he will shield them from any legal liability for their crimes. That message is: TREASON PAYS! If you are a staunch devotee of the Cult of Trump who is willing to break the law and threaten the lives of American citizens, soldiers, law enforcement officers, and congressional representatives, there is a place for you in the ranks of the StormTrumpers. And you may even be able to profit from it.

Making matters worse, it is taxpayers who will be footing the bill for this fund. Which means that all of us will be financing the activities of convicted seditionists and traitors-in-training who seek to undermine democracy. For this and other reasons, the settlement has the typical stench of lawlessness and incompetence that is emblematic of the Trump legal team. The announcement also declared that…

“The Fund will have the power to issue formal apologies and monetary relief owed to claimants. Submission of a claim is voluntary. There are no partisan requirements to file a claim. […] The Fund shall cease processing claims no later than December 1, 2028.”

Note that the expiration date for filing claims is one month before Trump’s term ends. That would prevent any subsequent Democratic president from having any decision making authority over new claims. However, by specifying that “There are no partisan requirements to file a claim,” Trump is leaving open the possibility of Democrats filing claims for compensation for damages due to Trump’s weaponizing of the Justice Department and other agencies of his regime. Democrats should take full advantage of that opportunity.

Those who have been investigated and/or indicted by Trump’s DoJ on phony charges can all file claims. They include Senators Mark Kelly, Elissa Slotkin, and Adam Schiff; political officials James Comey, Letitia James, Jack Smith, Jerome Powell, and John Brennan; journalists and media companies; and every immigrant, citizens or otherwise, who were subject to harassment, incarceration, and/or deportation, by Trump’s ICE thugs. And that’s an abridged list.

So as long as Trump is opening this door, Democrats should leap through it. Not that they can expect to get positive resolutions from Trump’s appointed flunkies, but they can keep the wheels from turning by overloading the fund’s capacity to function efficiently. Hopefully, none of that will be necessary if the legal challenges to the fund succeed. But just in case…

UPDATE: Trump was asked about his “Reparations for Criminals Fund” and he defended it by lying that he didn’t know about it. As a settlement to his lawsuit he would have to know about it and agree to it. Otherwise there can’t be a settlement.

HUH? Trump’s Acting Attorney General: There’s a Ton of Evidence that the 2020 Election Was Rigged

Posted by on May 17, 2026 at 2:23 pm. 2 Comments :

When Donald Trump is finally evicted from his execrable occupation of the White House, there will be high stakes competitions for who was the most dishonest, dangerous, sycophantic, and/or embarrassing flunky in his confederacy of cultists.

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

Donald Trump, Woman, Fear

Due to the extraordinary “qualifications” of so many on his team, it will be a close race. The contenders will include former Fox News host Pete Hegseth, as Secretary of War Crimes, Pam Bondi as Attorney Genuflect, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of Road Kill, Kristi Noem as Homeland Insecurity Secretary, Kash Patel as FBI Deflector, and Stephen Miller as Senior Neo-Fascist Advisor. Of course, Trump himself sets the bar for these incompetents and nutcases…

SEE THIS: Trump Unloads Dozens of Insane Posts, Including Calling for the Arrest of Obama for Treason

Not to be ignored is Trump’s current Acting Attorney General, Todd Blanche, who took over after Bondi flamed out. Blanche is not only a kneejerk Trump devotee, he is also Trump’s personal defense lawyer, which by itself is a conflict of interest so flagrant that he should never have been confirmed for a Justice Department position.

On Sunday morning Blanche was manning his post on Fox News, where most of Trump’s staff spend the majority of their time. Blanche was interviewed by Fox’s official Senior Trump-Fluffer, Maria Bartiromo. And in the course of their discussion Blanche may have taken the lead in the Trumpian Asskissing Olympics. Bartiromo teed him up with a typically softball question concerning Trump’s obsession with having lost the 2020 election…

Bartiromo: The president says all the time that the election was rigged. What have you done about that? Do you have any evidence that the election ws rigged? What can you tell us?
Blanche: Well, there’s a ton of evidence that the election was rigged. That’s not something that the DoJ needs to tell you about. There’s been evidence about that for many, many years. What I can tell you is that we have multiple investigations going on…We’re very focused on finding out whether the right people voted.

Acting AG Todd Blanche: "There's a ton of evidence that the election was rigged. We're very focused on finding out whether the right people voted."

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-05-17T14:16:20.202Z

Bartiromo is right that Trump is constantly whining about his humiliating 2020 election loss. Which should trigger the invocation of the 25th Amendment and Trump being thrown out of the White House. But Blanche’s reply was even worse. There is literally zero evidence of any election rigging in 2020. Trump and his minions have had six years to produce any, but despite their promises, have never done done so.

To the contrary, Fox News had to pony up a record $787 million dollars in a settlement for a defamation lawsuit for disseminating that precise lie. And Bartiromo was specifically cited in the case as a participant in that barrage of bullshittery. Although Blanche is surely telling the truth that there are multiple investigations in progress, because that’s all this “Justice” Department does anymore. And we can also believe that he is focused on “whether the right people voted.” By which he means Trump people.

The interview went on to address some specifics about the phony allegations of election rigging. Blanche sought to disinform the already deluded Fox News viewers that illegal voting is major problem that he is diligently striving to fix…

Bartiromo: So what you are saying is that you have in fact seen evidence that people voted who should not have voted. Whether it be through mail-in ballots, ballots coming from empty parking lots, or dead people, whatever, or from illegals. Is that what you’re suggesting?
Blanche: During the Biden administration they didn’t charge a single individual with illegal voting. Just last year we charged dozens. And we’re investigating a ton more. So that’s exactly what I’m saying. We know that there were people who voted that were not eligible to vote. We’ve charged some them. We’ve charged some them in the past year and we’re investigating a tom more right now.

Once again, Blanche is shamelessly lying. First of all, most illegal voting prosecutions are state crimes, not federal. And there more than two hundred combined state and federal cases launched during the Biden administration. For that same period there were dozens of reported federal cases. But it’s important to note that, in both state and federal, the number is insignificantly small considering the hundreds of millions of ballots cast, and none impacted any election outcome.

By comparison, in the past year Trump’s Justice Department charged only four people with illegal voting. They were non-citizens whose votes may have been inadvertently improper because they didn’t understand the law or were misinformed. The bottom line is that Blanche’s numbers regarding the Biden and Trump administrations are exactly the reverse of reality.

The only real work that the Trump administration has done with regard to voting has been to put up obstacles to voting by Democrats, and particularly minorities. Their efforts to redistrict congressional maps and invalidate the historic Voting Rights Act prove that they are scared witless of allowing voters to choose their own representatives.

And they should be scared. Because all the recent polling shows that Trump and Republicans are universally despised by a majority of the electorate. With their prospects in the toilet, Republicans are desperate to rig the election of 2026. They must not be allowed to succeed. But the good news is that they are usually so incompetent that they will screw it up, and wind up hurting themselves.

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

Posted by on May 16, 2026 at 2:06 pm. 0 Comments :

The legacy of Donald Trump is overflowing with “accomplishments” that for any other president, at any other time, would be unambiguously regarded as criminal, corrupt, seditious, perverted, and even in a best case scenario, humiliating.

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

Donald Trump and Eric Trump

No other president has had the dishonor to have been convicted of 34 felony counts of fraud, adjudicated as a rapist, enriched himself by exploiting his power, slandered the free press as “enemies of the people,” impeached for extorting a foreign country for political dirt, and impeached again for inciting a violent insurrection.

Through it all, Trump has demonstrated that he has the backbone of a jellyfish, bawling like a baby at every opportunity that he is a victim, and hurling threats at his perceived persecutors, who are often fierce opponents from the savage and wicked world of…comedy?

SEE THIS: Toddler Trump Throws Tantrum, Threatens to Sue ABC for Restoring Jimmy Kimmel and Free Speech

A recurring tactic in Trump’s strategy of relentless whining is his penchant for pursuing lawsuits as a remedy for the offences his paranoia manufactures. He is indisputably the most litigious president in history. He has sued everyone from the constitutionally protected free press, to universities, to law firms, to individuals who dared to disagree with him.

Now Trump’s spawn, Eric Trump, is demonstrating that judicial harassment is an inherited trait in the Trump family. Little Eric was apparently offended by a story reported by Jen Psaki of MS NOW. So he announced on X/Twitter that he will be filing a lawsuit to seek compensation (retribution) for his devastating injury. He wrote that…

“I intend to sue @jrpsaki and @MSNOWNews over the below clip. To be clear:

“Contrary to her monolog and blatant lies, I have NEVER been on the board of ALT5 — not now, not ever. Any person with basic access to Google and willing to open a company’s annual report or proxy statements would know this.”

Eric’s threat is another attempt by the Trump Klan to intimidate the free press in order to muzzle any legitimate criticism of the MAGA-sterial monarchy. And his denials are typically slathered in Trumpian bullshit. The truth wasn’t hard to discover…

Eric was indeed invited to join the Alt5 board of directors. That fact is still on the Alt5 website. Although, it was later determined that his presence on the board would conflict with some unspecified NASDAQ rule, so they relegated him to the status of an “observer” who could still attend board meetings, but without voting privileges.

However, these facts are enough to show that Psaki and MS NSW cannot be held liable for any claims of defamation. Not only was there no showing of “actual malice,” a requirement for a defamation lawsuit, but what she reported were facts. Also, she wasn’t making any direct commentaries of her own. She was reporting what had already been published by The Financial Times. All of this is evident in the video that Eric himself posted.

Look for this lawsuit to be thrown out in short order, if Eric doesn’t drop it first. Eric has no case, and if he doesn’t realize that, his lawyers surely do. Proceeding will only put him at risk of having to turn over embarrassing discovery that could expose him to criminal charges.

Furthermore, he is unlikely to wrangle a nuisance settlement from these defendants the way his father did with ABC and CBS. Jen Psaki and MS NOW are not seeking favors from the Trump administration that they would trade for cash. So the Trumps will have to look elsewhere for their corruption schemes.

Trump Mocks Up a Fake CNN Article Praising His Summit with Xi Jinping that Achieved Nothing

Posted by on May 15, 2026 at 2:43 pm. 1 Comments :

With the conclusion of his little excursion to China, Donald Trump is returning home with little to nothing to show for the summit with Xi Jinping that he promised would be historic.

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

Donald Trump, CNN

It’s not that there weren’t critical issues to negotiate and resolve. Trump might have secured agreements on anything from billions of dollars in trade deals, to the looming threat to Taiwan, to how China might help or hinder Trump’s floundering fiasco in Iran. But Trump failed to advance any of those initiatives. Although he did succeed in pounding out dozens of deranged comments on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, while he was there.

SEE THIS: Trump Unloads Dozens of Insane Posts, Including Calling for the Arrest of Obama for Treason

It’s difficult to imagine what Trump and his delegation hoped to achieve, considering they only planned to be there for two days. That is hardly enough time to hammer out difficult agreements, some of which have been unresolved for years. So in lieu of actually accomplishing anything real, Trump decided to post an article praising his magnificent dealmaking prowess that was supposedly published by CNN (which he calls fake news). There is is just one little thing wrong with what Trump posted.

Trump posted this image of a CNN article on Truth Social. It doesn't exist on CNN's website.The text is accurate, but edited to remove all the criticism of Trump. I guess he just really needed something to brag about since his summit in China with Xi Jinping achieved nothing.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-05-15T20:19:43.716Z

That’s right. There is no such article on CNN’s website. The image was totally made up. No wonder Trump calls CNN fake news. He’s the one creating the fakery. While the text is in part accurate, it was also edited to remove all of the critical articles of Trump that CNN also posted. For instance, “China shows export resilience despite Trump’s tariffs and Iran war,” and “Trump not committing to Taiwan arms sale marks a win for China,” and “Trump Leaves China Short on Deliverables.” I wonder why he left those out.

The story that Trump featured was a puff piece that quoted a Chinese professor who used to be the regime’s interpreter. The photo in Trump’s post said it was his motorcade “as it leaves the hotel in Beijing on Thursday,” but was actually taken during his trip to China in 2017. And the text of the story didn’t contain a single accomplishment, despite describing the summit as “very successful,” and a “truly a historical moment.” On the basis of what?

This is all typical of Trump’s modus operandi, which is to fail pitifully, and then declare victory anyway. He’s been been declaring victory in Iran for two months, even though Iran continues to keep the Strait of Hormuz closed, U.S. military remains in the region and at risk, costing a couple of billion dollars a day, and the cost of gas and other necessities has skyrocketed for American consumers.

Trump once told American voters that if they elected him they would experience so much winning that they wouldn’t be able to stand any more winning. At the time it just seemed like standard Trumpian babbling. But now that we know what his definition of “winning” is, it all makes sense.

There are many crucial issues for Trump to address with Xi, including Trump’s war in Iran, China’s threatening stance toward Taiwan, economically critical trade deals, and advancing the American principles of democracy and freedom. Rest assured that Trump won’t waste any of his limited time in China with those trivialities. Instead, he will perform his organ grinder routine, with Xi as the organist. Trump began his stint in China by paying tribute to its brutal tyrant saying that…

“I have such respect for China, the job you’ve done. You’re a great leader. I say it to everybody.”

Trump gushes over China's dictator, Xi Jinping, because he loves, and hopes to be, a dictator himself someday.

Indeed. Xi has done a great job suppressing the Chinese people politically, and enslaving them economically. It’s a model that Trump envies and hopes to emulate in the U.S. Trump is so impressed by China’s successes that he even praised them for their superiority in America’s fast food business…

“Just as many Chinese now love basketball and blue jeans, Chinese restaurants in America today outnumber the five largest fast food chains in the United States, all combined. That’s a pretty big statement”

Trump is lying – again (SURPRISE!). And he insists on lying about some of the most petty things.Estimates of the number of Chinese restaurants in the U.S. are between 37,000, and 45,000. But the combined total of the 5 biggest fast food chains is over 67,000.people.com/trump-boasts…

Never mind that, even though Trump is a huge fan of junk food, he was – as usual – wrong and/or lying. It didn’t take long for the fact checks to reveal how far off Trump was. As reported by People…

“There were roughly 37,000 Chinese food locations in the U.S. as of March 2023, according to the Pew Research Center. Other organizations frequently cite a total of 45,000, sourcing that claim to the now-defunct Chinese American Restaurant Association.

“The top five fast food chains in the U.S. — Subway, Starbucks, McDonald’s, Dunkin Donuts and Taco Bell — had north of 67,000 units combined in 2025, according to QSR magazine, a trade publication that sources data directly from the companies.”

It isn’t surprising that Trump would get this easily verifiable data so wrong. He is notorious for failing to educate himself and for refusing to sit through boring briefings that aren’t predominantly about him and how awesome he is. And for this summit he saw fit to bring along his family and a bevy of conflicted businessmen, but not a single diplomatic or national security expert on China. And in response to that criticism his communications director, Steven Cheung, lashed out in a typically infantile Trumpian manner…

It would be safe to predict that little or nothing of substance will be achieved at this summit. But Trump will nevertheless boast that it was the most historically fantabulous summit in the history of the human race. And it couldn’t have possibly been done without His MAGA-sty in charge. And unfortunately, that’s one thing that he is right about.

BE AFRAID! Mike Johnson Frets About ‘Little Mini Mamdanis Popping Up All Around the Country’

Posted by on May 13, 2026 at 3:03 pm. 1 Comments :

The rapidly approaching midterm elections in November continue to stir deep seated anxieties in the Republican Party as their prospects for any sort of favorable results fade into the realm of improbable fantasy. Most recent polling show Democrats winning a solid majority in the House (despite the GOP attempts at redistricting), and a pretty good chance of taking the Senate as well.

Donald Trump and Mike Johnson

The predictions of a massive Blue Wave are driving GOP leaders into frenzies of desperation. They are utterly incapable of competing on the merits of their ideas or their records in office. So they are resorting to the most pathetic campaign tactics that rely solely on lies and smears. In other words, The Trump Strategy.

SEE THIS: Trump Unloads Dozens of Insane Posts, Including Calling for the Arrest of Obama for Treason

Leading the way is Republican House speaker, MAGA Mike Johnson. During a Wednesday morning interview on Fox News (where else?), Johnson revealed his innermost fears of the dreadful electoral outcomes that await him and his party in the near future.

“The way I describe it in summary is that there are little mini Mamdanis popping up all around the country. Okay? And they’re openly avowed socialist Marxist ideology. This is something that we have never seen before in American history.”

OH MY! Johnson is quite right. This country has never before been invaded by mini Zohran Mamdanis, the recently elected – and massively popular – mayor of New York City. And Johnson is also right to be afraid. These marauding Democrats are threatening to take the nation by storm, improving the lives of every American and advancing the principles of freedom and liberty. That alone should strike terror into the MAGA-tists. Even without the ludicrous lies that Democrats are “avowed socialists” espousing “Marxist ideology.” No wonder the GOP elite are scared. But Johnson was just getting started…

“The Tea Party resetting the Republican Party was about fiscal responsibility. This is about moving away from a constitutional republic to a communist utopian ideology, and that’s a dangerous thing for the future of the country.”

Really? Johnson is apparently oblivious to the fact that the current mood in the nation’s politics is dominated by the abysmal fiscal irresponsibility of the Trump regime that has resulted in higher costs of everything from gas and groceries, to housing and healthcare, and so much more. He is also blissfully unaware that it is Trump who is undermining the Constitution at every opportunity, and cozies up to his communist idols like Vladimir Putin. Johnson wraps up saying that…

“The problem we have, the insurgent left, the far left has all the energy, excitement, and the money in the Democratic Party. This is not our father’s Democratic Party anymore. They are going far, far left, and no one’s there to stop it.”

Once again, Johnson is right. “This is not our father’s Democratic Party.” Much as he wishes it were. In fact, he wishes it were a political party and era more like that of his great grandfathers, when women and people of color had no rights or voting privileges. and Democrats like Mamdani knew their place. Johnson is also right that there is no one who can stop it.

So maybe Johnson should just sit down and shut up for while as the adults run the country. It’s not like he’s actually doing anything anyway. He has presided over the least productive Congress in decades. And his overarching tendency has been to surrender every last remnant of the constitutional duties of the Legislative branch of government to Dear Leader Trump. Including allowing Trump to pocket billions of dollars of taxpayers’ money…

The MAGA GOP speaker says that an action by Trump's "Justice" Department (to pay him billions of dollars) "is not in my purview." ???Oversight of the Executive branch and its agencies is a core function of Congress. Johnson is, once again, surrendering his jurisdiction to Dear Leader Trump.

Trump Unloads Dozens of Insane Posts, Including Calling for the Arrest of Obama for Treason

Posted by on May 12, 2026 at 1:26 pm. 0 Comments :

The mental health of Donald Trump has long been a matter of public concern. And symptoms of his psychological and emotional infirmity are alarmingly present in his daily behavior with ever increasing regularity. These problems have previously been documented by professionals in books such as “The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 37 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President.”

Barack Obama, Donald Trump

Evidence of Trump’s decline continues to be on display in the bizarre, daily outbursts he unleashes on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social. However, on Monday night he reached a new plateau of insanity, at least until the next one.

SEE THIS: Trump FREAKS OUT Over All the Bad News Dragging Him (and America) Down: Iran, Epstein, and More

Trump posted at least two dozen of some of the most blatantly ridiculous conspiracy theories about everything from the 2016 and 2020 elections being rigging, to allegations that Obama profited from Obamacare, to long ago debunked nonsense that Obama spied on Trump, and to charges that Jack Smith and James Comey fabricated evidence against him.

Literally none of those posts contained a shred of truth. And most of them were obvious nonsense invented by QAnon and other conspiracy kooks who never bother to provide any credible documentation. There was too much of this flaming bullshittery to respond to them all. But there was one that can serve as representative of the rest. It began with an all-caps headline bellowing that “BOMBSHELL EXPOSED: Obama’s Coup Plot UNRAVELING!”

Needless to say, there was no bombshell, no exposure, and nothing that was unraveled. The post went on to unravel flagrant lies that…

“Twenty CIA and FBI whistleblowers just dropped the hammer — Barack Obama and his CIA puppet John Brennan cooked up the entire Russia Hoax to steal the 2016 election and overthrow a duly elected President Trump. They doctored intelligence, weaponized the deep state, and launched a years-long witch hunt to destroy our movement.

“This isn’t conspiracy — it’s treason. The video proves they knew exactly what they were doing. How much longer do we let these criminals walk free? Time for real justice. Lock them up. Drain the swamp for good. Trump was right all along.”

To summarize, Trump’s post is baselessly accusing President Obama of a “Coup Plot” wherein he allegedly “cooked up the entire Russia Hoax to steal the 2016 election.” The post concludes that Obama and his administration are guilty of “treason” and that it’s time to “lock them up.” And the “proof” of these charges was supposedly in an attached video of an old press briefing on March 22, 2017, by former Rep. Devin Nunes, who went on to become the CEO of Truth Social, but was recently fired.

At the briefing, Nunes spoke about intelligence gathering related to Trump and Russia. It was later concluded that nothing improper was done and that Trump’s allegations of wrongdoing were lies. What’s more, the FBI, and later Special Counsel Robert Mueller, did uncover extensive contacts between Trump associates and Russians, contrary to Nunes’s early suggestion that there was “nothing there.”

All of that glaringly fictional garbage was in just a single post. Trump made 23 others that were just as bad. They called for the arrest of Obama. Although they seemed to have forgotten that the Supreme Court ruling that gave Trump near universal immunity applies to Obama as well. They pretended to have irrefutable “evidence,” but it was all unsupported babbling by online crackpots.

The Crackpot-in-Chief, Donald Trump, embraced all of this hogwash and reposted it as facts. And just to seal the deal, here is one more of those posts that he either believed was real, or didn’t care that he was disseminating lies to his gullible flock of cult followers…

Trump posted this Monday night. It is all LIES!Sen. Kennedy never said any of these things about President Obama earning money from Obamacare. And Obama never earned any such money.It originated from a "satirical" website that discloses that everything they post is fiction.
