Trump’s Attorney Genuflect, Todd Blanche, Flat Out Lies About Trump Denying Access to the Media

When Donald Trump publicly announced that he was banning CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House and other presidential media locales, he was immediately swamped with criticism for his blatant breach of the Constitution’s First Amendment protection of press freedom.

Donald Trump and Todd Blanche puppet

True to form, Trump didn’t care because he has no respect for the Constitution or the cherished principles that it embodies. And that’s especially true of his aversion to the free press that he regularly refers to in Stalinist terms as “the enemy of the people.” Despite his craven addiction to getting constant attention, he has an open hostility to the media that provides it.

SEE THIS: Trump Says the Media are ‘Sick, Treasonous, Demented’ ‘SLEAZEBAGS’ – Because They Cover Him?

On Sunday morning Trump’s Attorney General and criminal defense lawyer, Todd Blanche, was on ABC’s This Week to demonstrate just how loyally sycophantic he is to his MAGA cult leader Trump. Of course many of Trump’s minions are flaming sycophants, so that isn’t particularly surprising. But when the subject of Trump’s ban on the media came up, Blanche proved that he is in a class all his own. He said that…

“Well, the president hasn’t denied access. That’s not the right way to describe it. What the president has said is that he is sick and tired of certain media outlets just refusing to report accurate news. It is a privilege to be in the White House for anybody, and the president knows that. It’s the people’s house. […]

“The unfortunate and sad thing here is that after years and years and years of one-sided media coverage of the president from certain outlets, the president finally said it’s not fair to the American people…Being in the White House is a privilege; it’s not a right.”

REALLY? So when Trump denied access to the media he wasn’t denying access? He was merely “sick and tired of certain media outlets” so he prohibited them from entering the White House. See how different that is? Blanche just declared that entering the White House is a privilege, not a right, and Trump can decide who gets the privilege. And he can base his decision on whether he is sick of certain outlets.

For the record, it is wrong to describe access to the White House as either a privilege or a right. It is mandated by law that the Supreme Court has affirmed, wherein if access is given to the media, it may not be revoked based on viewpoint discrimination.

Blanche’s comments in this interview actually confirm that Trump’s denial of access is unlawful. He admits that Trump made his decision due to his opinion that some reporting was allegedly not accurate. In Trump’s mind that means he disagreed with it, or that it was truthful and made him look bad. And Blanche has the gall to frame it as Trump wanting to be fair to the American people. By censoring the media?

In the same interview Blanche awkwardly tried to frame Trump’s media ban as a “national security issue.” Then he whined that Trump’s words were being taken seriously. No, really. When he was told that Trump complained that the media “want to try to diminish Republicans,” Blanche had a peculiar rebuttal that essentially argued that people shouldn’t listen to what Trump says…

Clearly there is a problem with the Attorney General who still sees himself as representing Trump, rather than the American people or the Constitution. And while he is only one of Trump’s Cabinet flunkies who feel that way, he is the one with the judicial system under his control. Furthermore, his comments regarding the media are way out of his lane. But then there hasn’t been a press secretary for several weeks since Karoline Leavitt resigned. Maybe Blanche is aiming to add that job to his portfolio.

WINNING? Trump Rejects Deal From Iran Because it Gives Him Exactly What He’s Been Asking For

The reckless and illegal war against Iran that Donald Trump started eight months ago is still in progress despite Trump’s repeated claims – at least a couple of dozen times – that he had defeated Iran seven months ago. So the war that he said wouldn’t last more than a few weeks has now been going on for more than half a year.

Trump baby with Iran map

The consequences of Trump’s war are tragic for Iran, who has suffered thousands of civilian fatalities. It has been tragic for the 18 American troops who were killed, and hundreds more wounded. It has been tragic for the other Middle East nations that were drawn into the conflict. And it has been devastating for the American people who are struggling to make ends meet due to the war’s impact on the oil trade and resulting increases on everything from gas, to groceries, to healthcare, to housing, and more. And Trump has no idea how to get out of it.

SEE THIS: HOW CONVENIENT! Trump Says the Iran War and High Gas Prices Will End – Right After the Elections?

On Saturday morning Trump was asked about a new proposal by Iran to end the war. They promised an immediate ceasefire, a complete opening of the Strait of Hormuz, and negotiations on ending their nuclear weapons programs, including allowing access for United Nations nuclear inspectors. Trump’s response was a blunt and hostile “NO!”

“I’m rejecting their deal. They want to make a deal where they open the strait immediately because they are losing so badly. You don’t see that in the fake news. We’re winning tremendously. We have total control of the Hormuz Strait. Massive amounts of oil are coming out of the Hormuz Strait, Last night we had 29 ships come out.

“They want to make a deal and I think that’s fine. I like making a deal too. But that deal would not be acceptable. What they want to do is immediately open the Hormuz Strait. You know why? Because they’re dying. You know why they’re dying? Because they have no money coming in. Because they get their money from the Hormuz Strait.”

Trump: "I'm rejecting their deal. They want to make a deal where they open the strait immediately … we're winning tremendously. We have total control of the Hormuz Strait … that deal would not be acceptable. They want to immediately open the Hormuz Strait."

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-09-26T15:06:05.468Z

Don’t bother trying to make sense of this tirade. Trump is rejecting the deal that gives him exactly what he has been asking for: opening of the Strait of Hormuz. Which he has also been saying is totally open. But also that it is being closed under the control of the U.S. Therefore, he’s turning down the deal because he’s “winning tremendously”?

For the record, Trump is lying about the “massive amounts of oil” coming out of the Strait. It’s actually down about 85% from pre-war volume. And 29 ships is about 10% of the traffic that went through before the war. Trump is also claiming that Iran is “dying” for lack of money, not because of the military assault waged by Trump, that he previously claimed had “obliterated” their army, navy, and air force.

So why would Trump reject a deal that gave him precisely what he has been asking for? Perhaps because he’s also lying about Iran having been been defeated. Perhaps because Trump has no cards to play, and submitting to the deal offered by Iran just makes him look weak. Especially because it’s a deal that returns us to exactly where we were before the war began, and under the terms of the deal brokered by the Obama administration that Trump tore up.

Trump is in a bind here. If he agrees to Iran’s deal, he reveals just how ineffective and incompetent he is. If he rejects it he remains embroiled in a war that the American people oppose and want him to end. And all of this is going down within five weeks of the consequential midterm elections that polls indicate will be a political bloodbath for Trump and his MAGA Republican Party.

It’s a lose-lose proposition for Trump and the GOP. But there are brighter days ahead for the American people if they remain focused and committed to change. Trump’s Reign of Error will be hampered if Democrats win majorities in Congress. And Trump will have to suffer through the final two years of his term as the lamest of ducks. LFG!

Fox News Anti-Commie Hosts Join Trump at State Dinner Honoring Communist China’s President Xi

The 2026 midterm election is expected to reap the rewards of a massive Blue Wave of victories by Democrats over Republicans struggling to crawl out from under the rubble that their Dear Leader, Donald Trump has piled on top of them.

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

Fox News Commies

Trump has managed wreck to the economy, thrust the nation into a war with Iran that he’s losing, alienate our allies, and undermine democracy. Which doesn’t leave much for Republicans to run on. The dearth of viable campaign strategies for the MAGA GOP has left them babbling that Democrats are actually communists plotting to takeover and destroy America. And if you think that’s crazy…

SEE THIS: Trump Reveals His Midterm Election Theme: ‘If The Communists Get In You’ll Never Fish Again’

This week Trump welcomed China’s president, Xi Jinping, to the White House for a summit of some sort that had no real agenda or objectives. It’s purpose seemed to be purely for PR in advance of the November election. And affirming that is the fact that nothing was accomplished and no agreements were made, other than announcing that they would meet again in the future.

What’s more, the hollow theatrics of the affair was further borne out by the guest list that included many of Trump’s sycophantic political allies, a swarm of tech billionaires, and one other group of MAGA devotees who represented a key constituency for Trump. As reported by the Daily Beast…

“Some of Fox News’s biggest-name hosts have set aside their red-baiting to hang out at the White House with the world’s most powerful communist dictator.

“China’s Xi Jinping is in America at the invitation of President Donald Trump, who staged a lavish state dinner at taxpayers’ expense on Thursday evening.

“Tech billionaires including SpaceX’s Elon Musk, OpenAI’s Sam Altman, Amazon’s Jeff Bezos and Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg packed the VIP guest list.

“Also invited were Fox News stars Jesse Watters, Laura Ingraham, and Bret Baier, despite the president’s favorite network repeatedly parroting his anti-communist rhetoric ahead of the midterm elections.”

That’s right, nearly the entire roster of Fox’s primetime lineup was at Trump’s party for Xi. These are people who spend most of their time on the air trying to resurrect the “red scare” of the 1950s. They endlessly complain that communism is evil and is about to dominate the planet thanks to Democratic office holders and candidates in the United States. But they are thrilled to sit at the same table and toast the most prominent international communist leader of all.

Rest assured that Watters, and Ingraham, and Baier will be back in their anchor chairs soon insisting that communism is bringing down America. And notice that, while these Fox News hosts are attending the state dinner with Xi, their network is still declining to cover the event until Trump rescinds his ban of CNN, MS NOW, and Politico. So these alleged “journalists” are guests at an event that Trump is prohibiting the free press – including their own employer – from covering. Although he did allow the state media of China to cover it.

It is also notable that no journalists other than those from Fox News attended the dinner as guests. Only Trump’s official Ministry of Propaganda was invited. But there was another media figure there: Trump’s billionaire friend David Ellison, the CEO of the Paramount Global conglomerate that the Trump regime just greenlighted to acquire Warner Bros, the owner of CNN.

Maybe people shouldn’t be surprised by Trump’s embrace of communists like Xi, and Vladimir Putin, and Kim Jong Un, After all, Trump has been adopting many of the principles of the communists that he admires and seeks to emulate. Such as implementing communist-like control over the “means of production” by taking a role in corporate mergers, demanding multimillion dollar payments from corporations seeking government favors, forcing corporations to sell parts of their businesses to the government, suppressing the free press and defunding public media such as PBS, NPR, and Radio Free America, and seeking to dominate every branch of government and independent government agencies.

The hypocrisy of the Fox News hosts dressing up to pay homage to Xi, while ranting feverishly about the perils of communism on their TV programs, would by hysterical if weren’t so dishonest and dangerous. And the fact that they – and Trump – see Xi as a respectable world leader with integrity, but castigate Democratic Americans as traitors, is an ominous harbinger of what is yet to come from Trump and his MAGA-tists.

Trump is OBSESSED with a News Report that He Wants to Add His Name to the Ford Theater

The malignant narcissist that currently occupies the White House will also occupy a chapter or twelve in history books that chronicle American democracy and those who sought to destroy it. From the time that Donald Trump entered politics he has displayed a festering hostility toward the Constitution and the principles in it that patriots cherish.

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

Donald Trump, Twitter

The examples of Trump’s authoritarian aspirations are plentiful and troubling. They include his efforts to assume dictatorial control of government; his determination to ignore the roles of Congress and the courts; his waging of wars without lawful authority; his embrace of foreign tyrants and alienation of allies; and his attacks on the free press.

SEE THIS: Trump Says the Media are ‘Sick, Treasonous, Demented’ ‘SLEAZEBAGS’ – Because They Cover Him?

Among Trump’s most bizarre behaviors is his egomaniacal fixation of naming everything after himself, and other forms of self-exaltation. He’s building monuments to himself in the form of ballrooms and triumphal arches. He’s tried to attach his name to the Kennedy Center and the Institute for Peace. He’s hung gigantic banners with his scowling mug on the office buildings that house departments of Justice and Labor.

Now Trump is obsessing over a new tribute to his conceit. As reported by MS NOW, “Trump aides explore attaching president’s name to Ford’s Theatre.”

“As President Donald Trump fights to rename the Kennedy Center after himself, administration officials are circulating a list of government sites that could have his name affixed to them in some way, according to people familiar with the effort.

“One landmark that has emerged in the discussions among administration officials has raised eyebrows: Ford’s Theatre, the playhouse where Abraham Lincoln was assassinated in 1865…The prospect sparked a flurry of discussion over the past week among people responsible for the historic site.”

This shouldn’t surprise anyone who has been paying attention to Trump’s unbridled vanity and messianic swagger. MS NOW cites several sources from within Trump’s inner circle who corroborate this desire. And equally unsurprising is that Trump is calling it “fake news.”

However, he is going to extremes to deny it. In just a matter of hours he has posted three grossly paranoid comments on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, claiming that “the Fake News Media and the Dumocrats” are conspiring against him. He began by whining that…

“The story that the White House, or me, want to affix my name to Ford’s Theatre, in Washington, D.C., where Abraham Lincoln was assassinated, is a ridiculous lie. It is FAKE NEWS! Who would possibly want a name on such a tragic place? The Dumocrats suffer from serious Trump Derangement Syndrome. They are Degenerates and Losers who make up lie after lie, and this Ford’s Theatre Hoax is just another one of their never-ending, malicious falsehoods to try to discredit and demean.”

Trump is clearly upset that some truth leaked out of his inner sanctum of crazy. But his denial isn’t very well thought out. He says “Who would possibly want a name on such a tragic place?” So Trump says that he wouldn’t want his name on something that memorializes an assassinated president? That’s a peculiar complaint coming from someone who has been clamoring to add his name to the Kennedy Center that memorializes an assassinated president.

Trump continued in his next comment to say that…

“The Dumocrats make up lie after lie. The new one is that I want Ford’s Theater named after me. That’s where Abraham Lincoln was assassinated. Who would want that? I don’t! It is FAKE NEWS started by MSDNC AND CNN.”

In that comment Trump, a pathological liar, accuses Democrats of lying. But there is no evidence that Democrats had anything to do with this story. To the contrary, Trump’s own people are the sources. And he still doesn’t get how absurd it is to say he wouldn’t want his name on the Ford Theater when he is still suing to put his name on the Kennedy Center.

Trump still wasn’t finished. His third comment on this subject repeated much of what he said in the first two. But he added a little something extra…

“The Ford’s Theatre Lie is just another example of how the Fake News Media and the Dumocrats conspire together to make up false stories about ‘President Donald J. Trump.’ Shouldn’t be allowed to happen. Our Country is desperately seeking a Free and Fair Press!”

Did you catch it? Trump says that “Our Country is desperately seeking a Free and Fair Press.” But in the sentence immediately prior to it was his declaration that stories that he deems to be fake “Shouldn’t be allowed to happen.” That is neither free nor fair.

As usual, Trump never provides any proof that the articles by MS NOW contained any lies. He just rants incoherently and makes baseless charges that he expects everyone to believe. But given his reputation for blatant dishonesty, he’s not going to convince anyone of anything other than that he’s just a big baby and and blowhard.

Trump Says the Media are ‘Sick, Treasonous, Demented’ ‘SLEAZEBAGS’ – Because They Cover Him?

The cognitive impairment of Donald Trump continues to be evident in his ever more bizarre ravings as he sinks farther down the rabid hole of his malignant narcissism. His detachment from reality is exacerbated by the historically depressed approval ratings for him and his Republican MAGA movement.

Donald Trump TV Set

Typical of a power mad egomaniac, Trump is lashing out at whatever target is convenient at the time. And more often than not it’s the free press. Unable to accept accountability for his own failures, he blames the media for his pitiful reputation and low standings with the public. His animosity toward the media has resulted in a virtual wartime escalation of his fear and desperation.

SEE THIS: Trump Says He Banned the Media Because it is a ‘Threat to National Security and Must Be Stopped’

Never mind the fact that it is Trump’s ludicrous policies (Iran, tariffs, immigration, economic, diplomatic, etc.) and his malicious demeanor that generates the disgust of the American people. He is congenitally incapable of accepting any responsibility.

However, in his stuporous state of mind Trump is likewise incapable of any coherent assessment of his condition. And late Tuesday night he posted a seething commentary on his failed Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, that puts his derangement on display. Trump raged that…

“All of the SLEAZEBAGS, like Third Rate ‘Reporter,’ Kaitlan Collins, of Fake News CNN, a truly unhappy person, said they weren’t going to be covering me. Then why were they ranting and raving like Lunatics, in the Press Area, at the United Nations? Why was she there? She’s got a ‘TRUMP’ addiction, and so does CNN and MSDNC. They’re all sick, treasonous, and demented! The ‘good news’ is that they have a great, for them, and totally disloyal Judge.”

Setting aside Trump’s despicably infantile manner, what is spectacularly insane about this comment is that Trump is calling the press names for doing what he actually wants them to do. He is the one with an addiction to being the center of attention at all times. But here he is not just complaining that reporters are covering him, he is insulting them for doing so.

For the record, no one in the press was “ranting and raving like lunatics” at the United Nations. Well, that is no one except Trump. He specifically went after CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, demanding that she explain why she was covering him, and insisting that she shouldn’t be.

Trump doesn’t understand normal press behavior. The boycott by the media is by the five outlets (ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, and Fox) that participate in “pool” coverage at the White House and a few other locations. Trump thinks that because those outlets are refusing to cover him in those situations until he removes his ban, that they are abandoning their responsibilities elsewhere, such as at the UN.

Trump had a similar misunderstanding about media coverage during a press gaggle with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. He whined that “They said they were going to boycott me but they never boycott me.”

Despite Trump’s bragging about the coverage he gets, the press is still boycotting the events at the White House and other locations that are covered by the pool. As result, there is less footage of him available for all of the media that relies on pool coverage. But the press will still show up to cover the UN, the Mayor of New York, and other newsworthy events, even if Trump is there.

This actually works to Trump’s disadvantage. Because the more people see of him, the more they dislike him. And that’s especially true lately as his mental state erodes and he disgorges even more preposterous nonsense. It’s a downward spiral that he has no ide idea how to get out of.

Super Intelligence? Trump Wants to Rename Artificial Intelligence To Make it More Smarter

The Renamer-in-Chief, Donald Trump, is at it again. Apparently he wasn’t satisfied with trying to add his name to the Kennedy Center, or the Institute of Peace, or renaming the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario. Nope, the egomaniac that occupies the White House has new designs on something else that he has no authority to mess with.

Trump Baby on Cash Pile

Trump delivered a speech on Tuesday to the General Assembly of the United Nations, an institution that he regularly disparages and threatens to quit. The speech was a hodgepodge of the tedious complaints that he spews in every speech he gives, including how he’s supposedly winning in Iran, transgender-phobia, attacking Venezuela or Cuba or Greenland, insulting “dumocrats,” allegedly ending 8 wars, and of course, raging about the fake news.

SEE THIS: Trump Says He Banned the Media Because it is a ‘Threat to National Security and Must Be Stopped’

A new topic that has risen to the top of Trump’s playlist is Artificial Intelligence. His approach, however, is uniquely Trumpian. In fact, it is diametrically opposed to what the American people want. He recently launched what he calls the AI Force, which is a new branch of government whose purpose is to protect and defend the growth of AI, rather than the welfare of the country or its people. And in his narcissistic delusion, he regards himself as the only guardrails needed to rein in any potential harm.

During his UN address Trump raised the issue of AI to announce that he is adding it to the list of things he wants to rename. His chosen name for it is “Super Intelligence.” He elaborated saying in his infamously incoherent style that…

“Hereinafter officially called ‘Super Intelligence,’ changing the name and that the use of the word artificial makes intelligence fake. It makes it sound fake, and it is not fake. It’s actually amazing. But we have to be careful, In fact, In fact, it is exactly the opposite of what it purports.

“From this point forward, all of United States’ documents, and hopefully the world’s, will be changed to use the much more accurate term ‘super,’ as opposed to ‘artificial.’ So it’s ‘Super Intelligence.’ In other words, welcome to the new world of ‘Super intelligence’ — SI. Let’s see if that goes. It sounds much better. It is much better and it’s much more accurate. Let’s see if I have any power. Maybe I do, and maybe I don’t. We’re going to find out pretty soon.”

Isn’t comforting to know that our pResident is focused squarely on the things that matter most? And renaming AI is so important that he spent several minutes babbling about it at the UN. At least he’s not proposing that the name be changed to American Intelligence, or Trump Intelligence. But his advocacy of it is bad enough, especially in this venue. Just a couple of months ago the UN published a study that found that “AI’s environmental costs threaten water, land and climate.” The study concluded that…

“Artificial Intelligence is not only responsible for worrying amounts of earth-warming greenhouse gases: the technology’s environmental footprint is also expanding at a pace that could strain the planet’s natural resources.”

Undeterred by reality, Trump went on to defend AI from critics who he said had also criticized climate change, and his scandals associated with Russia, Ukraine, and immigration. All of which he said are hoaxes, including warnings about AI. And as usual, Trump is on the wrong side of public opinion on this subject. As reported by Newsweek…

“Americans are unhappy with Trump’s performance on AI issues. Only 23 percent said they believe he has handled AI ‘very well’ or ‘somewhat well,’ while 57 percent said he has handled it ‘not too well’ or ‘not well at all.'”

Lastly, it needs to noted that Trump’s motivations with regard to promoting AI are the same as his motivations for almost everything else that he talks about: MONEY! Is anyone surprised by this…

Trump Says He Banned the Media Because it is a ‘Threat to National Security and Must Be Stopped’

Last week Donald Trump took a giant leap toward cementing his legacy as the most media averse president in American history. Although he relies on the press to satiate his massive yet fragile ego, he simultaneously despises it for not being constantly obedient and adoring.

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

Donald Trump and Media - ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, FOX

These colliding psychoses that plague Trump resulted in his declaration of an unambiguously anti-American, unconstitutional banning of several news organizations that had the audacity to report the truth about him. Proving, once again, that he is a big baby who is scared witless. And with that CNN, MS NOW, and Politico were prohibited from covering Trump’s public appearances at the White House and elsewhere.

SEE THIS: Herr Trump Has Banned CNN, MSNOW, and Politico From the White House for Reporting ‘Fake News’

The backlash from Trump’s assault on the First Amendment was furious from all quarters. Democrats and some Republicans have condemned Trump’s actions. Free press advocates have issued statements promising to fight back in court against his censorship. All five TV news networks that provide White House pool coverage of Trump – ABC, CBS, NBC CNN and Fox News (that’s right, even Fox News!) – have announced that they are suspending coverage of Trump because of his media ban and trashing of the Constitution.

However, Trump himself is undeterred in his crusade against the free press and his determination to suppress all critical opinions of him and his criminal regime. He posted the following comment on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social…

“The White House is not instituting an assault on the Free Press, something which I cherish. It is instituting an assault on the FAKE NEWS, something that has grown like Cancer in our beloved United States of America. It is corrupt, purposeful, pervasive, fully coordinated, and totally out of control. It is a threat to our National Security, and must be stopped, NOW! Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

There’s a lot of flaming bullshittery stuffed into that brief paragraph. To begin with, Trump doesn’t “cherish” the free press. He cherishes free fawning publicity. Furthermore, he is making a ludicrous distinction between the free press and what he calls “FAKE NEWS.” In his twisted mind any news that is less than wholly worshipful is fake. And anything that he decides is fake is cancerous and corrupt and must be stopped.

Trump’s delusions of grandeur have often led him to make bizarre assertions to excuse his atrocities. But in this comment he goes farther than usual. Now he is accusing the media of being “a threat to our National Security.” Is that a precursor to his outlawing journalists and/or news networks? His tedious whining about fake news was bad enough, but now he is using the same language to describe media that he doesn’t like as he does to describe foreign enemies and terrorists.

Trump’s comment shows that he is embracing the authoritarian policies of his idols and mentors, Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Kim Jong Un, whose friendships he often celebrates. But American is not Russia or China or North Korea. And he is not likely to get away with it. Already the networks that Trump banned have begun their efforts to fight back. As reported by CNN…

“‘This morning, we notified the government that we are filing a lawsuit today to protect our First Amendment rights and defend the principle that the government does not decide what the press reports or publishes,’ the three news organizations said in a joint statement on Monday.”

Trump’s charging that the media constitutes a national security threat is a new tactic that he has begun using in order to impose his tyranny on the nation. After being criticized and ridiculed for his vanity ballroom, Trump said that he added an underground bunker and drone ports so that he could claim it is necessary for national security.

Likewise, Trump now says that his egomaniacal triumphal arch was modified to include more drone ports, sniper blinds, and munitions storage. Gee, what could go wrong by placing a munitions dump in the middle of a densely populated city where terrorists could blow it up and kill thousands? But for Trump it’s another excuse to claim that it’s a national security necessity.

What’s next? Will Trump declare that elections in which he and his MAGA confederates don’t win is a threat to national security? Will he just declare that the Democratic Party is a threat to national security? Maybe he will declare that the Constitution itself is a national security threat. Which actually is what he is already doing…

UPDATE I: Trump has just announced the launch of TRUMP TV. Which appears to be his state media stab at exalting himself.

UPDATE II: “A federal judge on Thursday said that President Trump’s order barring CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House was likely unconstitutional and ordered the administration to restore access to the three news outlets.”

WHUT? Trump’s Chief Economic Advisor Accuses Fox News of Being Part of the Far Left Media

There really is no controversy over the state of the American economy. Every measurable metric points to a severe downturn that began when Donald Trump reoccupied the White House. Inflation is worse due Trump’s tariffs and war against Iran. The GDP keeps trending lower. And the debt has grown to $40 trillion.

Donald Trump, Fox News, Fake

While the American people are burdened with higher costs for everything from groceries, to gas, to healthcare, to housing, and more, Trump and his regime are trying to convince them that everything is hunky dory, but they are just too stupid to know it. No wonder Trump is so determined to keep the free press from reporting the truth about him and his failures.

SEE THIS: Herr Trump Has Banned CNN, MSNOW, and Politico From the White House for Reporting ‘Fake News’

On Sunday morning Trump’s chairman of the White House Economic Council was at his regular post on Fox News disseminating MAGA propaganda. Although this time he encountered a speed bump of sorts when Fox’s Peter Doocy asked a rational question that was loaded with facts about Trump’s failing economy…

Doocy: I want to know which of these things sets off alarm bells inside the West Wing. We’re gonna put up a poll. Only 23% of voters thinking the economy is excellent or good. 12% of voters describe their personal financial situation as getting ahead. Or 62% of voters saying grocery prices are a major problem for their families. Do any of those make you think, “we’ve got a problem here?”
Hassett: Look, I’m the White House economist and alls I can say is polls, over and over again, harm impressions about the economy because they poll way too many Democrats…Republicans are basically seeing what we see, which is a very strong economy with low inflation. [Followed by a bunch of lies about how “great” the economy is] What happens is that the far left media…instead of talking about that, they wanna talk about these jimmied polls. I’m not convinced at all.
Doocy: No far-left media here, Kevin.
Hassett: No, but you’re saying what they say.

REALLY? The polling that Doocy cited, and that Hassett is complaining about, are Fox News polls. So now Fox News has to be framed as far left in order for Hassett’s lies to apply. Of course, he doesn’t bother to provide any evidence for his claim that “they poll way too many Democrats.” In fact, this survey included 41% Democrats and 42% Republicans. But that sort of equity isn’t good enough for Hassett, who believes that only Republicans should be polled, and the opinions of the majority – Democrats and Independents – are irrelevant.

If Trump and his flunkies want to bury their heads in the sand and pretend that the American people aren’t struggling to make ends meet, that’s fine with Democrats. It is one of the main reasons that Trump and his MAGA GOP are trailing so badly in the polls leading up to the midterm election. The people know that Trump couldn’t care less about them, and that the Republican Party is beholden only to Trump.

So performances like this one by Hassert are not resonating with voters. They weren’t even meant to. They were aimed only at Trump for his approval. And they aren’t going to move the needle on elections, particularly when they are only aired on networks like Fox, whose viewers have already been indoctrinated into the MAGA hive mind.

That said, Fox’s audience will at least get a taste of reality with questions like the one Doocy posed today, and polls like the one cited in this segment. Will it change their votes? Maybe a few. But it might make more of them less inclined to vote at all. Which is even better, because then other Republicans down ballot won’t get their votes either. So the message from Democrats to Hassett and his comrades is “Please proceed.”

Trump Launches the AI FORCE to Protect Artificial Intelligence as it Takes Over the World

Never let it be said that Donald Trump has ever wavered in his unflinching fealty to people and policies that are deliberately destructive and opposed to democracy and freedom. He is a faithful disciple of totalitarianism and the world’s most prominent practitioners of it, Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, Kim Jong Un, etc.

Trump AI Farce

Trump’s devotion to advancing his MAGA dystopia is boundless, as is evident in his governing style that emulates tyrants old and new. He insists that he has unchallengeable power. He engages in rampant corruption to enrich himself, his political cronies, and his billionaire comrades. He pontificates on expanding his global empire. He builds or steals monuments to his own vanity and imaginary glory. And he suppresses anyone or anything that questions his messianic supremacy.

SEE THIS: Herr Trump Has Banned CNN, MSNOW, and Politico From the White House for Reporting ‘Fake News’

On Saturday morning Trump took to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, to announce his latest tribute to His MAGA-sty: The AI FORCE. And to hear him tell it, it is a new branch of the armed services with a mission to defend artificial intelligence and all of its atrocious appendices. Trump began his announcement by enumerating what he considers to be a string of hoaxes…

“Over the years, there have been many Hoaxes, all generated by the Radical Left Dumocrats, for purposes of destroying our Country. RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA, UKRAINE, UKRAINE, UKRAINE, Global Warming, Impeachment Hoax #1, Impeachment Hoax #2, Men in Women’s Sports, Transgender for Everyone, and now, the decimation, or destruction, of AI, commonly known as Artificial Intelligence — And I, as President of the United States, will not stand by and let this happen.”

That rant is classic Trump. And it only serves to remind everyone of all the verifiable scandals and criminality that define his occupation of the White House. Yes, he is an asset of Russia, an enemy of Ukraine, and a twice impeached felon with bizarre sexual obsessions. And as for AI, Trump demonstrates that intelligence is not his strong point. He offers a brief history of AI, saying that…

“It all began with an attack on our Data Centers, until people realized how wealthy and prestigious they were for the Communities in which they were built.”

True to form, Trump doesn’t provide a single shred of proof that AI data centers have been financially advantageous to anyone except the corporations that build them. If he really believes that they benefit communities, why doesn’t he offer to have one built at or near Mar-a-Lago, or any of his golf courses? Don’t hold your breath for that. He won’t even tolerate a few wind turbines. But data centers that dirty the environment, devour energy, and destroy the peace of neighborhoods, he claims to staunchly favor and will steadfastly defend…

“We will not in any way hinder or stifle the Growth of this incredible Industry. Rather, we will cherish it, help it, and watch over it, as it grows!”

So Trump’s AI Force will be the first branch of the service tasked with “cherishing” a business enterprise based on a controversial technology. And with that Trump declares that…

“I am forming the AI Force, much like I did Space Force, which has been a tremendous SUCCESS, in my First Term. To that end, I will be announcing, in the near future, the AI “Czar” — Only High I.Q. individuals need apply!”

We can rest assured that Trump’s “High I.Q.” AI Czar will match the qualifications of his Cabinet. Such as his alcoholic, ex-Fox News, Secretary of War Crimes, Pete Hegseth. Or his former heroin addicted, vaccine skeptical, Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert Kennedy, Jr. Or his criminal defense lawyer turned Attorney Genuflect, Todd Blanche. Or his election denying plumber, Secretary of Homeland Security, Markwayne Mullen. Or his reality TV contestant Secretary of Transportation, Sean Duffy. Or…Well, you get the idea.

Just to make sure that everybody understands just how ignorant Trump is about AI, he helpfully posted another comment that makes it unmistakable…

Herr Trump Has Banned CNN, MSNOW, and Politico From the White House for Reporting ‘Fake News’

The MAGA Autobahn to American fascism that Donald Trump has been speeding down has just seen him passing a significant landmark. The Trump regime has long been open about its hostility toward the free press and the Constitution that protects it. And Trump has frequently maligned the media in Stalinist terms as “the enemy of the people.”

Donald Trump, Censorship

However, on Friday morning Trump cemented his legacy as a censorious tyrant on a mission to control what the media is allowed to report, and what the American people are allowed to know. It’s a giant leap backwards in the freedoms that have been a cherished part of America for 250 years. And although Trump’s latest atrocity is extraordinarily grotesque, it isn’t exactly anything new coming from Trump.

SEE THIS: His MAGA-Sty Trump is ‘Wielding Power to Stifle Speech’ – According to a New York Times Exposé

Obsessed as he is with his public image, Trump was once again ignoring the critical issues facing the nation – i.e. endless war, rising inflation, environmental catastrophe, crumbling democracy, etc. – in order to address his wounded ego. Something must have triggered the feeble pResident, which led him to post the following comment on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social…

“I am proud to announce that, effective immediately, I am banning Fake News CNN, MSNOW (who recently changed their name from MSNBC due to lack of viewership and credibility!), and Politico…from the White House as a result of their constant ‘reporting’ FAKE NEWS! Media Outlets shouldn’t be able to constantly write or report FICTION and LIES when they’re covering the President of the United States…Other Fake News Media Outlets to follow.”

This is the latest example of Trump’s determination to emulate his heroes, Vladimir Putin of Russia, and Kim Jong Un of North Korea. He believes that he can unilaterally declare which media outlets are permitted to cover his occupation of the White House. He previously banned the Associated Press, but that ban is being contested in the courts. And it hasn’t stopped the AP from reporting on him and his criminal activities.

Meanwhile, Trump has nothing to say about the real fake news that props him up like the messiah of the MAGA cult, which is what they believe him to be. So Fox News, Newsmax, One America News, Breitbart, etc. remain in good standing in his White House press room.

If Trump thinks that this ban will stop the press from covering him, he will be sorely disappointed. What’s more, he will face certain backlash from the public that relies on a free press to stay informed. There will also be some backlash from the media, although not nearly enough. If they acted with integrity as a group they would all boycott Trump until these bans are revoked.

Whatever set Trump off this morning is not yet known. But it will likely be revealed soon. He was clearly in a bad mood. A couple of hours prior to this comment he posted one that was equally disturbing, if not as explicit…

Why is Trump bothering to post about CNN if it is so "Unwatchable and Failing"? He's been saying that for years, but it's still there.And his claim that "very few people are watching," is negated by the fact that he is obviously one of them. ?

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-09-18T16:42:46.771Z

The only thing that Trump is accomplishing with this is that he is confirming that he doesn’t give a damn about freedom, or the people, or democracy, or America. The only thing he cares about is himself and shielding his massive yet fragile ego from the truth. That’s how malignant narcissists behave. And it’s why they should never be given power.

Furthermore, it just gets worse under pressure. Which is what Trump is experiencing now with the approaching midterm elections that are predicted to bring a Blue Tsunami, wiping out much of the Republican Congress, and making Trump the lamest of ducks for the two years remaining of his term. In short, he’s scared and desperate.

UPDATE: Trump posted an image on Truth Social about his trashing of the First Amendment. So I added something that makes it more honest…

UPDATE: “A federal judge on Thursday said that President Trump’s order barring CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House was likely unconstitutional and ordered the administration to restore access to the three news outlets.”
