Trump’s White-Trashing of the White House (UFC Freedom 250) Was a Costly Trump and Ratings Flop

Posted by on June 19, 2026 at 1:49 pm. 0 Comments :

Last Sunday Donald Trump threw himself an 80th birthday bash at White House. The party featured a typically classless Trumpy presentation of sweaty, half-naked men beating each other up. And in addition to staining the dignity of the People’s House, it exploited the occasion to enrich the Trump family and a few selected billionaire pals.

The UFC Freedom 250 fight was sponsored by Trump’s friend and donor, Dana White, whose UFC enterprise counts Trump among its investors. And even though the UFC said that they are paying for the production, It will cost taxpayers millions of dollars in security, traffic, sanitation, and municipal costs. But don’t believe the hype that this is a “sport” that vast numbers of the American people flock to. Most of them opposed the yokel brawl-fest, including Republicans.

Confirming the popularity – or lack thereof – for this event, the ratings reported are something less than stellar. It aired only on Paramount+, who had the exclusive rights to the program, and is run by another couple of Trump’s billionaire pals, Larry and David Ellison. According to the Hollywood Reporter…

“Nielsen streaming figures show 7 million people in the U.S. watched the seven-bout UFC card. An additional 1.2 million people in Latin America tuned in.”

For the record, the previous streaming UFC fight drew an average of about 5 million viewers. So this improved on that airing. But this event was predicted to outperform prior fights by wide margins. After all, it cost $60 million to produce, and had the benefit of White House hype.

Dana White predicted it would get a “Super Bowl” audience. The Super Bowl routinely draws about 125 million viewers. So he was only off by about 118 million. And when Trump invited to him stage another event on the White House lawn, White declined saying that “I need a year to recover financially.”

Another convenient benchmark is the recent NBA Finals. Game 5 of the Finals last week averaged 24.5 million viewers, more than three times the UFC audience.

Despite the disappointing viewership, Trump was celebrating the event early Friday morning on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. He posted four different comments with videos of himself at the fight. Naturally, he was making himself the center of attention, rather than the participants or the 250th anniversary of the nation.

The fact that Trump continues to brag about the failed UFC event is a perfect corollary to his bragging about the Iran war that was also a failure. No matter how badly he does at anything, he pretends it was a victory. That’s especially true with regard to Iran. And his gullible devotees have no other choice but to kneel and agree. Because that’s how cults work.

Jimmy Kimmel Crushes Trump with Truths About His Iran War Fiasco And Channels Melania

Posted by on June 18, 2026 at 1:54 pm. 0 Comments :

This week Donald Trump trumpeted his prideful and delusional declarations of victory in the reckless and illegal war that he started against Iran. Never mind that all indicators show that Iran was actually the winner, and that Trump is pitifully trying to claim glory for himself that he doesn’t deserve.

Jimmy Kimmel with Trump baby

While Trump’s imaginary victory is all in his head, most rational observers are not fooled by his babbling. Even many of his fellow Republicans are disputing his rosy scenario that defies reality, warning that “giving Iran’s theocratic regime access to billions of dollars in economic relief would be a major ‘blunder.'” None of that, however, has deterred Trump from bragging/lying on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social…

SEE THIS: Trump Posts an Absolutely BONKERS Comment on His Fake ‘Peace’ Deal with Iran

Among the most honest and insightful analyses of the latest Trump debacle was one delivered by Jimmy Kimmel on Wednesday night. It was a concise itemization of the main points of ineptitude that is emblematic of Trump’s brand of “leadership.” Kimmel’s critique included that…

  • “We killed the Ayatollah…
  • “Replaced him with a younger, more radical Ayatollah…
  • “We did nothing for the protesters in Iran…
  • “We removed the sanctions that were on Iran before the war started…
  • “We got a ceasefire that we already had before this…
  • “We opened the strait, which was already open before this…
  • “We used up who knows how many billions of dollars on bombs and missiles…
  • “Many American and civilian lives were lost…
  • “We gave Iran full control of the strait of Hormuz…
  • “And we threw in a minimum of $300 billion, because why not?

Jimmy Kimmel tells the truth about how Trump lost his war with Iran & settled for a pathetic non-agreement that got the U.S. nothing.So expect Snowflake Trump to whine about Kimmel tomorrow on Truth Social and tell his "Justice" Department and FCC to go after him, and tell ABC/Disney to fire him.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-06-18T11:01:14.367Z

Kimmel wrapped that up by presuming what Melania Trump might be thinking: “Right now, Melania’s wondering, ‘How do I get a deal like that?'” Kimmel later consoled his audience with a reference to Trump’s unsavory relationship with his pedo-pal Jeffrey Epstein saying that…

“The one area in which the war’s been a rousing success is it did take our attention away from the Trump-Epstein files. But don’t worry, the second it is really over, we will get right back into that.”

This example of truth-telling by Kimmel is what keeps getting him him trouble with Trump and the MAGA cult in Washington. It’s what got Stephen Colbert canceled. So it wouldn’t surprise anyone if Snowflake Trump started whining about it on Truth Social and telling his “Justice” Department goons and his corrupt FCC to go after him, and also to tell ABC/Disney to fire him.

They tried that once before. It didn’t work. But failure has never been a deterrent to Trump. So Kimmel should remain vigilant, and stay strong, and remember that Trump only wins if you capitulate to him. Bullies always wither when you fight back. And no one is more withering than Trump.

Trump Totally Humiliated Himself – And America – 3 Times (at Least) at the G7 Summit in France

Posted by on June 17, 2026 at 3:36 pm. 4 Comments :

The walking pile of puerile perversity that we know as Donald Trump has once again demonstrated how grossly distant he is from any semblance of civil conduct. Trump’s massive yet fragile ego drives everything he does or says. And it’s particularly disturbing when he does it on foreign soil.

Donald Trump

Just before gallivanting off Evian, France, Trump threw himself an 80th birthday bash at the White House with a show of sweaty, half-naked men wrestling in a giant cage. Just the sort of thing that exudes the dignity and honor of the presidential residence. And Trump made certain to offer his own personal expressions of honor…

SEE THIS: Trump Goes Off on a Racist Rant Shortly After His White-Trashing of the White House and America

The next day Trump boarded Air Force One to jet off to France for the annual G7 summit with the leaders of the world’s wealthiest, most highly industrialized democracies. And while there he comported himself in exactly the manner that you would expect of a vulgarian with no diplomatic sensibilities whatsoever. What follows are three notable examples of how Trump embarrasses America every time he opens his mouth. And representing our nation on the world stage doesn’t seem to temper his grotesquery.

TRUMP THREATENS TO NUKE SOME NUCLEAR ARMED NATIONS
“Whoever sells them [Iran] a nuclear weapon will get nuked themselves, if they sold a nuclear weapon, only a few that could do it, they would be nuked. They wouldn’t have that country long.”
REALLY? So Trump is threatening to nuke Russia, or China, or North Korea, or maybe France? Does he think that they wouldn’t defend themselves by nuking the U.S. right back? Does he think at all?

TRUMP THANKS XI JINPING AND VLADIMIR PUTIN FOR BEING NEUTRAL
“I want to thank China and President XI. I was with him, and he stayed neutral, totally neutral, and I appreciate it. And I would want to thank Vladimir Putin. He was very neutral. They could have made it much more difficult for us.”
For the record, Iran did receive military technology, drones, and missile components from China. And Russia shared intelligence that actually helped Iran to locate and kill U.S. forces. Both countries propped up the Iranian economy by purchasing discounted Iranian oil. So thanks, from your fanboy Trump.

TRUMP DISPARAGES AMERICAN DEMOCRACY
“Nobody plays rougher than the United States. Look, our elections are totally rigged. We have rigged elections.”
So Trump currently presides over an all-Republican government with GOP majorities in Congress and the Supreme Court, but still chastises the U.S. for having “rigged” elections? Maybe he’s right. If our elections were free and fair there would be more political diversity. The Electoral College and the Senate representation is anything but fair.

Also, Trump complains about his buddy, former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro, being convicted for plotting a military coup after the 2022 election. But Trump ignores his own persecution of Democrats like Gov. Gavin Newsom, Senators Mark Kelly, Elissa Slotkin, Adam Schiff, etc., New York Attorney General Letitia James, former FBI Director James Comey, and many more.

Also notable is a Trump post at 2:50am on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. He endorsed MAGA GOP Rep. Mike Collins for the Senate in Georgia, but had little to say about Collins. However, he calls his Democratic opponent, current Sen. Jon Osoff, “Os(jerk)off.” That’s Trump always staying classy and setting a standard for America’s kids.

This Trump comment illustrates just how unfit he is for any office.He thinks he's clever with his infantile nicknames, calling Sen. Jon Osoff "Os(jerk)off." What a great role model for America's children.However, Democrats will welcome him to Georgia to campaign for Collins. Come often, Donnie.

OUCH! The Ladies of The View Roast JD Vance Over Trump’s Sick Friendship with Jeffrey Epstein

Posted by on June 16, 2026 at 3:16 pm. 2 Comments :

Poor Donald Trump is having a terrible birthday week. As he turns 80, Trump is struggling to stay awake for the various celebrations he planned for himself at taxpayer expense. Most notably his UFC cage match at the White House that dragged down the dignity and prestige of the property and the presidency, while enriching Trump and his wealthy pals.

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

Donald Trump, JD Vance, Dr. Evil, Mini-Me

The same week Trump bragged that he had resolved the reckless and illegal war with Iran that he started. But he did so in a manner that made Iran appear to be the victor. Trump got less for his trouble – including billions of dollars spent, and thousands of innocent lives lost – than President Obama did ten years ago without going to war.

SEE THIS: Trump Posts an Absolutely BONKERS Comment on His Fake ‘Peace’ Deal with Iran

In the wake of those birthday week unpleasantries, Trump’s vice-president, JD Vance, set off on a national book tour because he really doesn’t have anything else to do. One of his stops was a visit with the ladies of “The View” for a chat that he probably wishes he had avoided. A key part of the segment focused on Trump’s unsavory relationship with child sex trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein, that Vance was forced to defend. Which he did very poorly.

Vance began by disagreeing with “the idea that the White House wasn’t committed to full transparency” with regard to the release of the infamous Epstein files. Never mind that Trump and his flunkies in the “Justice” Department expressly blocked every attempt to release the files. Which Vance sought to deny…

Vance: One of the things you see in the Epstein emails is that Jeffrey Epstein hated Donald Trump. And that Donald Trump literally reported Jeffrey Epstein to the police.

Ana Navarro: They were best friends for about decade. And remember, he signed that Transparency Act under duress when some Republican women, congresswomen like Lauren Boebert, like Marjorie Taylor Greene, did not give into his pressure of not signing. He brought Lauren Boebert into the Situation Room to pressure her into caving on not voting for that bill.

Vance: Let me respond to that. number one is, yes, Donald Trump said this. He knew Jeffrey Epstein in the 1980s. He threw Epstein out of his club when he found out he was a creep and reported him to the police. […]

Navarro: It was allegedly over a real estate deal they got into a fight over. Let’s be truthful and transparent. They didn’t just know each other. They were incredibly close friends.

Vance: Ana made a very important point. This question about did Donald Trump release these files only under duress from Republicans? You know the Republican party probably better than I do. The idea that Donald Trump runs around afraid of Republican congressmen as opposed to the other way around, is kind of crazy. […] But he eventually came to say, “You know what, let’s just get everything out there. Let’s have this out in the public. And he actually called the senators. I was there. He called the senators and said, “Pass this bill. I will sign it” and that was it.

JD VANCE: One of the things you see in the Epstein emails is that Jeffrey Epstein hated Donald TrumpNAVARRO: They were best friends for about a decade. And remember, he signed that transparency act under duress

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-06-16T15:41:48.249Z

Navarro did a good job of holding Vance to account for his flagrant misrepresentations of reality. Vance’s claim that emails in the Epstein files proved that Epstein hated Trump completely leaves out the fact that they were close friends for more than a decade. And any animosity that later developed was due to conflict over a real estate deal.

What’s more, it was Trump’s anger that Epstein was “stealing” his girls from the Mar-a-Lago massage spa that resulted in Trump reporting Epstein to the police. It was only for retribution, not out of concern for the victims. Trump even admitted that it was the spa issue over which he banned Epstein from Mar-a-Lago.

As for the Transparency Act that Congress passed to compel the release of the Epstein files, Trump opposed that all the way. He never called senators and asked them to pass it. But he knew that there were enough votes for passage that it would be veto proof. So he signed it. Not because he was afraid of Republicans, but because he was afraid of looking even weaker after a veto override.

Vance has become the Undisputed Champion Trump-Fluffer. Having transformed from a critic who once said that Trump was “America’s Hitler,” to his current role as Trump’s chief derriere smoocher. Which is quite impressive considering all of the competition for that dishonor among the MAGA Republican cult. Congratulations JD. You’ve earned it.

Trump Goes Off on a Racist Rant Shortly After His White-Trashing of the White House and America

Posted by on June 15, 2026 at 2:59 pm. 0 Comments :

It didn’t take Donald Trump long, following his disgusting and undignified UFC circus at the White House, to return to his racist roots where he can disparage his perceived political enemies with his typically infantile insults.

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

Donald Trump, Klan, MAGA

The UFC affair lived down to expectations as the roster of sweaty, half-naked men wrestling in a specially built ring on the white House lawn. The event was sponsored by longtime Trump friend and donor, Dana White, whose UFC enterprise Trump has invested in. But don’t believe the hype that this is a “sport” that the American people enjoy. Most of them opposed it staining the dignity of the White House.

SEE THIS: Trump’s White Trashing of the White House with His Tacky UFSemen Fest Even Disgusts Republicans

The morning after the Hayseed Hell Night, Trump was back on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, dispensing his words of hate and division. He spends as much time there as he does golfing, watching Fox News, and otherwise avoiding the actual duties of a president.

Bright and early Monday morning Trump posted a comment that was unrelated to anything that was in the current news cycle, It was just an expression of his hateful, un-American feelings and distaste for anyone who isn’t part of his white nationalist MAGA movement. He whined that…

“Sadly, if you import people from Third World Countries, you quickly become a Third World Country — And there’s not a thing you can do about it.”

Perhaps Trump was just upset that he had to travel to France for a meeting with the G7 leaders that he regards as “dirty ferraners.” Which triggered his hate sensors to lash out at America’s immigrants.

What Trump fails to recognize is that America is, and always has been, a nation of immigrants. Many of whom came from third world countries. They include two of his three wives. What’s more, many of America’s biggest, most successful companies, were founded by, or are currently run by, foreign-born executives. The following list is just a few of them. And that’s just the CEOs, but not the presidents, vice-presidents and other top level executives.

Sadly, Trump is still putting his flaming racism on full display.For the record…

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-06-15T16:48:24.879Z

Immigrants have been among the most productive contributors to what makes America great. And that includes those with means and education, as well as the working class who make America’s economic engine hum.

What Trump is afraid of isn’t that America will become a third world country. It’s that America will become a diverse country that celebrates and benefits from its diversity. Which, in fact, it already has. And that really pisses off Trump and the bigots who make up his confederacy of haters who want to preserve America’s whiteness.

Consequently, Trump resorts to posting idiotic comments like the one above that serve only to divide fellow citizens and foster mindless contempt for good people who come here to make a better life for their families. Which is how you really make America great again.

Sadly, if you import racists like Trump, you quickly become a racist country. But there’s plenty you can do about it. You just have to be determined to shut them down and allow our better selves to prevail.

WOW! Secretary of War Crimes Pete Hegseth Admits Trump’s Iran Deal Gets Nothing that Obama Didn’t Get

Posted by on June 14, 2026 at 12:59 pm. 1 Comments :

The political and PR tug of war between Donald Trump and Iran is continuing to strain relations without making any observable progress. On Saturday Trump posted a comment on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, declaring that an alleged “peace” deal would be signed Sunday (today). [SEE UPDATE BELOW on report of an alleged deal being reached – but no signing today]

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

Barack Obama and Donald Trump

The full comment that Trump posted was flagrantly dishonest and downright bizarre at levels never seen before (as he might put it). He insulted President Obama, misrepresented the deals by both Obama and himself, invented imaginary scenarios of future relations with Iran, and even threatened nuclear war. No, really…

SEE THIS: Trump Posts an Absolutely BONKERS Comment on His Fake ‘Peace’ Deal with Iran

On Sunday morning Trump’s Secretary of War Crimes, Pete Hegseth, was interviewed on CBS News’ Face the Nation by Margaret Brennan. During their discussion Hegseth admitted something that totally contradicts what Trump has been lying about for years with regard to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) negotiated by the Obama administration to halt Iran’s nuclear aspirations.

Hegseth: Obama begged Iran for a deal. We bombed Iran, and then put in a blockade…The document says Iran will never have a nuclear weapon, won’t seek one, won’t buy one, won’t have one.
Brennan: JCPOA said that too.
Hegseth: But they didn’t have the threat of military force the way that we do…and that’s why they’re at the table. The huge difference is we did this from a position of strength. Trump led with military might.

Trump's Secretary of War Crimes, Pete Hegseth, admits Obama got Iran to agree to never have nuclear weapons (which Trump denies and lies about).Then Hegseth said the difference is Trump did it with military force (costing billions and killing thousands), while Obama did it through diplomacy.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-06-14T16:16:30.812Z

So Hegseth is actually conceding that the Obama deal secured Iran’s commitment to cease all of their nuclear weapons programs. That’s something that Trump has repeatedly said wasn’t true. Never mind that the very first paragraph of the JCPOA says that “Iran reaffirms that under no circumstances will Iran ever seek, develop or acquire any nuclear weapons.”

What Hegseth describes as the difference between the confirmed Obama deal and Trump’s more ambiguous and non-binding “Memorandum of Understanding” (MOU) is that Trump’s deal was obtained by military force and hyperbolic threats that TACO Trump kept reneging on. By contrast, Obama’s deal was secured through diplomacy, carried out by experienced negotiators, and verified by the independent International Atomic Energy Agency. None of which Trump’s team accomplished.

Hegseth implies that Trump’s hawkish warmongering is superior to Obama’s statesmanship, despite the fact that Obama got tangible results without spending billions of dollars and slaughtering thousands of innocent people. However, there are still no results whatsoever from Trump’s dealings after four months of a war that Trump said wouldn’t take more than a few days.

Meanwhile, Trump’s Homeland Security secretary, Markwayne Mullin, was also on the Sunday morning media circuit, On Fox News he praised Trump because “On his birthday he’s still working.” Then he specifies what Trump is “working” on. Was it the Iran deal that was supposed to be signed imminently? Or lowering costs for gas, groceries, housing, or healthcare? Or anything else that the American people actually want or need?

Nope. It’s his tacky and corrupt UFC birthday bash on the White House lawn. Because Trump’s priorities are squarely focused on what is most important – To him, and him alone!

MORE HERE: Trump’s White Trashing of the White House with His Tacky UFSemen Fest Even Disgusts Republicans

UPDATE: According to Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif in a comment posted on Twitter/X, “The Peace Deal between the United States of America and Islamic Republic of Iran has been REACHED.” and that “The official signing ceremony will be on Friday, 19 June.” So there is no signing Sunday as Trump said, and a lot can change in a week. So nobody should be confident that this will pan out.

Also, while Trump posted a giddy, celebratory confirmation on Truth Social, there is no confirmation from Iran, and no details on the terms of the deal or whether it is a binding agreement or just an MOU. Also, nothing indicates that the deal contains anything that wasn’t already in the Obama deal. But reports say that Iran will get billions more from Trump, including $300 billion in recovery/reconstruction funds, and have less stringent restrictions and monitoring.

Trump Posts an Absolutely BONKERS Comment on His Fake ‘Peace’ Deal with Iran

Posted by on June 13, 2026 at 1:09 pm. 0 Comments :

America is now in the fourth month of the war with Iran that Donald Trump said would only last a few days. Instead what Trump has called a “little excursion” has cost billions of dollars, thousands of lives, and the reputation of the United States as a diplomatic superpower.

Trump baby with Iran map

Throughout the conflict Trump has made repeated promises that a deal to end the war was imminent. Those promises were quickly broken when Iran disputed that any agreement was made, followed by Trump issuing more threats that amounted to war crimes and blaming the breakdown on everything from Iran’s “dishonorable” leaders, to “radical lunatic” Democrats, to former Presidents Joe Biden and Barack Obama.

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

On Saturday morning Trump took time off from planning his 80th birthday bash on the lawn of the White House with a bunch of sweaty, half naked UFC fighters, brutally beating each other, to post a comment that put his derangement on display on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, about yet another alleged “peace” deal with Iran. His comment was typically littered with lies, self-exaltations, and derogatory remarks about his political foes. What follows are a few choice excerpts with annotations. Trump began by saying that…

“Barack Hussein Obama’s Deal with Iran, the JCPOA, was an easy, beautiful, smooth road to a Nuclear Weapon.”
Actually, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) states explicitly in the first paragraph that “Iran reaffirms that under no circumstances will Iran ever seek, develop or acquire any nuclear weapons.” And that prohibition would be monitored and enforced by the independent International Atomic Energy Agency.

“My Agreement with Iran is the exact opposite.”
First of all, there is no agreement at this time. What Trump is talking about is just a “Memorandum of Understanding” that proposes a 60 day ceasefire to continue talks in the future. It is not in any way binding and has no independent verification. Nevertheless, Trump added the preposterous claim that “they [Iran] no longer want a Nuclear Weapon.” Yeah, right.

“The Deal is scheduled to get signed tomorrow.”
Of course it is. And since we have Trump’s word on this we can rest assured that it is likely not going to happen. But even if it does, it is still only a non-binding document of future intent. Still, Trump bragged that “after it is signed, the Hormuz Strait is OPEN TO ALL>” Well, it was open to all before he started this war. So he’s admitting that there has been nothing gained.

“Unlike Obama’s Hundreds of Billions of Dollars in payments to them…no money will exchange hands.”
Once again, Trump is lying about Obama’s plan making payments of “Hundreds of Billions of Dollars” to Iran. Iran got less than $2 billion. And that was just the unfreezing of Iran’s own money that was being held in foreign banks. More importantly, Trump is lying about his own plan that calls for unfreezing $24 billion in Iranian funds, as well as an additional “$300 billion in reconstruction money.”

“[W]e have the ultimate alternative, hopefully never to be used again!”
This is how Trump closed his comment. It sounds very much like a threat to use nuclear weapons against Iran. Which is a lousy way to advance his alleged signing of a peace deal.

Usually Trump says that whatever bullshit promise he is making will be fulfilled in two weeks. So it’s good news of sorts that we will only have to wait until tomorrow to see if he welches on this one. But even if there is a signing of some paper promise, Trump will still have 60 days to screw it up. Which is way more than he needs.

Trump’s White Trashing of the White House with His Tacky UFSemen Fest Even Disgusts Republicans

Posted by on June 12, 2026 at 2:58 pm. 0 Comments :

For someone who was born into a wealthy family, Donald Trump has none of the attributes of a typical snobby elitist the high society tastes of his upper crusty peers. To the contrary, Trump has always exhibited the sleaziest classlessness of those he regards as uncultured peasants and revels in looking down upon.

Donald Trump, Biggest Loser

Trump has presided over the bedazzling of the White House with gaudy thrift store filigree. He has made an obsession of “renovating” public spaces and symbols by gilding them in a manner that would embarrass the poshest royalty. And he has done much of that with tributes to himself, adding his own name and/or pumpkinized likeness. Although not always successfully.

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

As it turns out, Trump’s trashy tastes are not shared by the vast majority of the American people. The findings of new polls by Reuters/Ipsos and Fox News reveal just how far Trump is from having any connection to the people that he purports to represent. The polls sought the public’s opinions as to the appropriateness of Trump’s UFC cage matches that he is staging at the White House. As reported by CNN’s Harry Enten…

“Americans don’t find this thing to be appropriate. Take a look. Just 16% overall. And among Republicans – even among Republicans, you know the diehard base Republican Party with Trump through thick and thin – just 31% of Republicans.” […]

“Americans just don’t think that Donald Trump and this White House is in touch with them. Because they put on stuff like that that Americans don’t really care about. Take a look here. [Those who] say the White House is out of touch with people like you, 60% overall. We’re talking about 3 in 5 Americans. And look among Independents. 80% of Independents say that the White House is out of touch with people like them.”

Harry Enten: Just 16% of Americans say UFC White House fights are appropriate. Even among Republicans, just 31%. 28% of Americans believe in telepathy.

— FactPost (@factpostnews.bsky.social) 2026-06-12T17:47:54.769165704Z

Those are some seriously abysmal stats. Particularly those among Trump’s own party. No wonder his approval ratings are in the toilet. The UFC project is something that has consumed much of Trump’s time. And even though the UFC says they are paying for the production, It will cost taxpayers millions of dollars in security, traffic, sanitation, and municipal costs. It glorifies violence. And it is a project that will enrich a Trump friend, and that even the Trump family will personally profit from.

Taking this together with the billion dollars he’s spending on his vanity ballroom, and the millions that will be sunk into the Reflecting Pool, and what he has wasted on the Kennedy Center, and his paving over of the White House Rose Garden, and his proposed D.C. arch, and you have an idea of what Trump’s real interests are. They are not the interests of the American people.

Meanwhile, Trump continues to wage a reckless and illegal war against Iran. He is neglecting the financial burdens of the nation for necessities such as groceries, gas, housing, and healthcare. He is seeking to slash benefits for Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. He is attacking citizens for exercising their First Amendment rights. He is persecuting immigrants who are seeking a better life for their families. He is embracing foreign adversaries and alienating allies. And he is suppressing the free press.

The Trump agenda is a perfect storm of callous disregard for the welfare the nation and its people. But perhaps the worst part of all of this is that Trump knows precisely how much the people despise him and his policies. We know he watches CNN and the reports by Harry Enten, because he frequently whines about them. So he likely knows about this reports as well. He just doesn’t care.

Maybe he will care more after the midterm elections when he and his MAGA party feel the wrath of the American people.

YEAH, SURE! Trump Tells Fox News He Spoke with Iranian Officials Who Love the Great Press They Get

The increasingly bad news for Donald Trump continues to spill out as his reckless and illegal war with Iran spirals out of control. In the past 24 hours Trump has whined that Iran isn’t capitulating quickly enough, but also that he has secured a complete peace agreement with Iran wherein the U.S. is getting everything it wants. They can’t both be true.

Donald Trump, Insane, Straight Jacket

Even worse, the dementia of Trump is springing up with ever more frequency with each passing day. In addition to his routine dissemination of flagrant falsehoods and infantile insults, Trump is also having imaginary conversations that he relays to his official Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News. And Fox dutifully reports whatever Trump says without question.

On Thursday morning Trump did another one of his pajama phone-in interviews with the “Curvy Couch” potatoes of Fox and Friends. during their discussion Trump revealed some juicy details of an alleged phone call he had with unnamed Iranian “officials.” Trump said that…

“Behind the scenes I will tell you – they won’t even dispute it, although they probably would because it makes sense – They’re very good at publicity, but they’re not good at fighting. They can’t believe the press they get. They can’t even believe it. And they told me. They said, ‘It’s amazing how well we’re doing in the papers.’ We’re not doing so well. They’re negotiating with us to make a deal.”

Trump: "Behind the scenes I must tell you Iran can't believe the press they get. They can't even believe it. And they told me. They said, 'It's amazing how well we're doing in the papers. We're not doing so well–' They're negotiating with us to make a deal."

Virtually every conversation that Trump claims to have had with Iran was promptly disputed shortly after Trump made the claim. This one is unlikely to be any different. Why would Iran ever consider bragging to Trump about getting good press coverage? Where exactly is that coverage? And notice that Trump says in the same breath that Iran would not dispute it, and also that they would. Which point is trying to make?

Furthermore, Trump praises Iran’s PR prowess, but disparages their fighting ability. Even though Iran has held off Trump’s assault for four months now, when he said that this war would be over in a matter of days. And while the war is broadly opposed by huge majorities of the American people – dragging down Trump’s approval ratings and the Republican Party’s electoral prospects – Trump can’t seem to figure out any way to get out of it.

Earlier Trump claimed to have “dropped $250 million of bombs” on Iran (a number that he plucked from his demented brain that is fixated on his U.S. birthday bash). So while the American people are struggling financially, Trump is wasting hundreds of millions of dollars for no benefit. he could have built another ballroom for that.

Trump also said that Iranians had called him in the White House Situation Room last night asking him to stop the bombing (that hadn’t started yet). However, cell phones are strictly prohibited in the Situation Room. So that was another imaginary conversation.

Closing up the interview, Fox News host Ainsley Earhardt told Trump not to worry because “Our viewers are watching Fox. So they see this coverage. They’re not reading the New York Times “ Which is an unusually honest appraisal of the Fox News audience that is deeply indoctrinated into the Trump cult and oblivious to any other source of information. Especially information that is truthful and aligned with reality. It was nice of Earhardt to admit that.

Trump Ditches Plans to Spin Off His Failing Truth Social Scam Into a Separate Failing Scam

Posted by on June 10, 2026 at 1:27 pm. 0 Comments :

The latest brilliant business move by Donald Trump might just eclipse his infamous flops of the past wherein he bankrupted four casinos, shuttered his phony “university” and discontinued dozens of hokey side hustles (water, ties, steaks, magazines, games, watches, cologne, crypto, etc.) intended to separate his gullible flock from their finances.

Donald Trump Circling the Drain

Five years ago Trump launched his Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG) that was the parent corporation for his Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. But since then TMTG has diversified it into a variety of totally unrelated – and equally unsuccessful – businesses such as streaming video, cryptocurrency, MAGA-centric mutual funds, and even nuclear fusion. And because they were all affiliated with Trump, they have all performed with the hallmark ineptitude that is emblematic of the Trump name.

Now Trump has announced that his primary TMTG operation, Truth Social, has suffered a staggering setback. He had previously announced that it was going to be spun off into a separate, standalone company. But now those plans have been scuttled….

“Trump Media and Technology and TAE Technologies announced on Wednesday they have abandoned plans to spin off Truth Social and certain other media assets into a separate publicly listed company. The companies did not disclose reasons for canceling the proposed spinoff of the conservative-focused social media platform.”

There really wasn’t any need to disclose the reasons for this annulment. It’s obvious that Truth Social is too weak to survive on its own. It has never made a profit. It has abysmal user statistics. It has been mired in criminality and other scandals. TMTG stock, with Truth Social as its core component, has suffered an 90% decline from its high mark. Who would want to invest in that?

What’s more, there is new evidence every day that Trump enterprises are nothing more than con games intended to enrich him and his mob family. Most recently, Reuters reported that…

“[The] Trump family has made $2.3 billion from crypto with little-to-no downside risk, while other investors have lost $2.3 billion, including paper losses, as of the end of April.”

That’s not exactly a track record that will encourage investor participation. Instead, it illustrates how Trump exploits his cult disciples for his own financial benefit, and provides pathways for conflicted parties (corporations and foreign operatives) to funnel cash (aka bribes) to him. And that’s pretty much been his modus operandi from the start. For instance…
