Melania Trump Crocumentary Crew Want Their Names Removed From Credits and Hope the Film Flops

The primary occupation of Donald Trump for the past couple of decades has been to host reality programs on television and to organize grifting operations to enrich himself. And that includes the time that he has been occupying the White House. He is entirely consumed with PR and self-promotion to the detriment of everything else that he pretends to engage in.

Donald Trump Baby and Melania Trump

The latest scam in Trump’s bag of tricks is an alleged “documentary” revealing the private life of First Lady Melania Trump. The film is executive produced by Melania herself, and it is being produced and distributed by Trump suck-up, Jeff Bezos, and his Amazon Studios. So it can hardly be presented as an independent record of Trump’s mistress and third wife. Naturally, it’s already getting rave reviews from Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, who haven’t seen it.

SEE THIS: Fox News Trump-Fluffers Preview – and Gush Over – the New Melania Trump Crocumentary

In advance of the film’s release on Friday, reports are circulating about the regrets that many of the crew members have after working on the project. Their participation is turning out to be a source of shame, and they are anxious to distance themselves from it completely. As reported by The Guardian

“Rolling Stone reports that two-thirds of Melania’s New York crew requested that their names not be added to the film’s credits. […] Another told the publication they’re hoping the film – which required ‘really long hours,’ in a ‘highly disorganized’ and ‘very’ chaotic environment – ‘flops.'” […]

“One Melania crew member told Rolling Stone that [director Brett] Ratner was ‘slimy.’ […] Melania is the Rush Hour director’s first film following the sexual assault allegations that saw him ousted from Hollywood. He has denied any wrongdoing.”

That’s hardly a vote of confidence. Trump is planning to premiere the film – which Bezos paid $40 million for the rights to, and another $35 million for promotion – at the Kennedy Center. Partly because Trump demolished the White House theater that was located in the East Wing, and partly because he’s using the Kennedy Center as his personal entertainment complex. Which is why so many entertainers have refused to perform there.

However, the film is unlikely to provide much, if any, return on that $75 million investment. Ticket pre-sales have been pitifully lacking and, in some place, almost nonexistent. Never mind Trump’s boast (aka lie) on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, that “the Movie is a MUST WATCH. Get your tickets today – Selling out FAST!”

It’s safe to assume that this history making documentary will not include much of Melania’s actual history. For instance, her many nude photo shoots, her relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, her disparaging remarks about Christmas, her phony “Einstein” visa, her chain migration for her family members and anchor babies, nor the fact that she doesn’t live with Donald at the White House or Mar-a-Lago, preferring to spend most of her time in Manhattan.

None of that, though, will dampen the party for Trump and his MAGA cult comrades, who will gather to celebrate the fluff film in luxury while the rest of the country is struggling to make ends meet, suffering through a massive winter storm, and mourning the loss of two honorable citizens who were murdered by Trump’s ICE thugs. Which is business as usual for Trump, who has never shown any ability to relate to, or care about, the people he allegedly serves.

Did a Fox News Host Steer Trump to Put Tom Homan in Charge of His ICE Thugs in Minneapolis?

The Calamity in Minneapolis orchestrated by Donald Trump and his Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) StormTrumpers has proven to be massive millstone around the neck of Trump and his regime’s top henchmen and women. On an issue that Trump had leaned on heavily throughout his political misadventures, he is now deeply underwater and struggling to find a way to stay afloat.

Donald Trump, Fox News, White House

Recent surveys show that Trump’s approval on immigration is floundering at record lows. According to the Reuters/Ipsos poll “Fifty-three percent of Americans polled disapprove of the president’s immigration policy, while 39% approve of the job Trump is doing on immigration.” And no amount of gaslighting or whitewashing has helped to reverse the descent.

SEE THIS: RUSH TO JUDGMENT: Fox News and Trump Blame the Victim for 2nd ICE Shooting Death in Minneapolis

Consequently, Trump has been tenderly trying to walk back the rancid rhetoric that he has been yammering from day one of the horrific events in Minnesota, when he and his cronies smeared Alex Pretti as a “would be assassin” and “domestic terrorist.” He knows that the American people are repulsed by the deaths of peaceful, law abiding citizens, and that his attempts to viciously malign them have failed. But rather than admit any wrongdoing, or holding anyone accountable, Trump is trying to massage his messaging campaign to take the heat off of him without making any actual improvements.

Clearly Trump has no idea what to do. That’s why he has been waffling between blanket defenses of the atrocities he has caused, and pitiful stabs at displaying sympathy. The only marginally substantive reform he has taken is to cast his chief ICE enforcer in Minneapolis, Greg Bovino, into the corn field. But even that idea was not Trump’s. As reported by Brian Stelter of CNN…

“Around 6:15 a.m. on Monday, ‘Fox & Friends’ co-host Brian Kilmeade pitched a solution to President Trump’s growing political problem in Minnesota. ‘What I would do is just bring Tom Homan in,’ he said.

“Kilmeade, a Trump booster who knows the president often watches the morning show, volunteered the idea again at 7:15 and once more at 8:10. Homan, the border czar and a former Fox commentator, would ‘settle things down’ and help Trump, Kilmeade said.

“Maybe Trump was watching, maybe he wasn’t — but either way, he said, ‘I am sending Tom Homan to Minnesota tonight,’ 20 minutes after Kilmeade suggested it a third time.'”

So it appears that Kilmeade put the bug in Trump’s ear about replacing Bovino with Homan, and he embraced it in the hopes that it might ease the pain of sinking farther into the abyss of public disgust. Never mind that Homan is just as unsavory as Bovino, and he still has a corruption scandal hanging over his head alleging that he took a $50,000 bribe in exchange for delivering government favors.

The public’s view of Trump’s immigration policies has now deteriorated to the point that other Republicans are starting to show some spine by criticizing him. Actually, they are just getting to the point where they are more afraid of voters than they are of Trump. The result is that some – but certainly not all – are speaking out more critically of him than ever before.

Even some conservative media are turning against Trump. For instance, the right-wing National Review editorialized that “[Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem] has repeatedly demonstrated that she is incapable of speaking honestly about events like the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti.” Which suggests that Trump’s critics on his own side won’t be satisfied until there are some terminations, indictments, or other form of accountability. And decent American citizens won’t be satisfied until Trump himself is held to account.

SLEEPY DON: Trump Finally Admits that He Was Sleeping in His Cabinet Worship Services

Among the abundant undesirable records set by Donald Trump is his having been the oldest person to ever be inaugurated as president of United States history. That achievement carries with it some concerns that would be significant related to his ability to function in the job.

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

During his second occupation of the White House, Trump has exhibited behavior that justifies the concerns that many Americans – including health professionals – have had about his cognitive stability. It would explain his bizarre obsessions with invading foreign nations, and even American cities, with military troops. Likewise his compulsions to impose harmful, inflationary tariffs on most of the rest of the world. Likewise his egomaniacal renaming of historic institutions and monuments after himself.

SEE THIS: Trump Posts an Utterly INSANE, Lie-Riddled Rant to Justify His $400 Million Vanity Ballroom

Trump’s age could be a factor in another problem that Trump has been struggling with for several years. It’s a problem that he has frequently accused his predecessor, President Biden, of having. Trump was fond of maligning Biden as “Sleepy Joe.” But, as with many of Trump’s accusations, they are often confessions. Trump’s tendency to fall asleep in public meetings has been well documented. It has been the subject of both alarm and humor.

For the most part, Trump would try to wave off his nap time with lame excuses and denials. But now he has come out of closet and admitted that he really has a problem and that, subsequently, his prior denials were lies. Gee, who would’ve thunk it? As reported by The New Republic

“After months of denials, President Trump has finally admitted that he has been falling asleep during Cabinet meetings.

“In an interview with New York magazine published Monday, Trump said that he closed his eyes during those meetings because they were ‘boring as hell.'”

“I’m going around a room, and I’ve got 28 guys—the last one was three and a half hours. I have to sit back and listen, and I move my hand so that people will know I’m listening. I’m hearing every word, and I can’t wait to get out.”

This revelation from Trump is more than just an acknowledgement that his prior excuses were lies. He is overtly admitting to his waning physical and mental capacities. Prior to this confession, Trump had dismissed the observations that he was nodding off during his Cabinet meetings as – what else? – “fake news.”

Trump would float various excuses for his dozing, including that he was just caught blinking, or that he was resting his eyes. Never mind that his snoozing was captured on video repeatedly. It was not a still photo in mid-blink. And he was often completely slumped down in his chair, which is not the way someone just resting their eyes would be sitting.

So Trump is still lying about his composure at these meetings. He surely was not “hearing every word.” But even this excuse was poorly thought out. Because it requires you to accept that he kept organizing these meetings, where his sycophantic cronies would take turns exalting him, but that he found them boring and couldn’t wait for them to end. Does anyone believe that? If true, why would he keep wasting everyone’s time repeatedly organizing these meetings? Especially his own?

The one truthful part of Trump’s admission is that listening to his MAGA-tist cronies lavish adorations on him was indeed boring. However, you can lay odds on his continuing to schedule these pointless meetings where he gathers his top staffers to praise him like an emotionally insecure ten year old boy-king. And to be sure, there will be nothing of substance produced by these bull(shit) sessions that consume valuable hours of Cabinet officials’ time. In fact, Trump and his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, regard Trump’s sleeping abnormalities as a virtue.

Of course, Trump will still complain about these boring affairs after he has slept through them, just as he is doing now. And he wonders why people are questioning his mental acuity, and talking about the 25th Amendment?

Trump Posts an Utterly INSANE, Lie-Riddled Rant to Justify His $400 Million Vanity Ballroom

Throughout the second occupation of the White House by Donald Trump, the American people have been bombarded by relentless displays of his ignorance, conceit, vulgarity, and political and personal atrocities. It has been a non-stop barrage of the worst imaginable descent into the abyss of an egomaniacal madman’s determination to reign as a dictator.

Donald Trump, Toilet, Bathrobe

Recent events in Minneapolis have exacerbated the sorry state of the union. The execution of Alex Pretti, an American citizen who was lawfully protesting the inhumane tactics of Trump’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) thugs, has captured the attention of the country, most of whom are appalled and disgusted and determined to see that Trump’s criminal cohorts are brought to justice.

SEE THIS: RUSH TO JUDGMENT: Fox News and Trump Blame the Victim for 2nd ICE Shooting Death in Minneapolis

In addition to Pretti’s murder, the second one by ICE agents in Minneapolis, the American people have had to endure a steady stream of Trumpian bullshittery such as his attack on Venezuela, his efforts to annex Greenland, his imposition of punitive tariffs on U.S. allies, skyrocketing prices on everything from groceries to housing to health insurance premiums, lawsuits and regulatory assaults on the free press, and too much more to enumerate.

While all of this is going on, Trump has seen fit to focus his congenitally shrunken attention span on one of the issues that he thinks matters most to the population at large: His $400 million dollar vanity ballroom that he’s building to replace the historic East Wing of the White House that he illegally demolished. And in support of that gilded hall of elitism, Trump posted an insufferably long-winded comment on his pitifully failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. It’s way to long to repost in its entirety, but can be seen in this Bluesky skeet for those with the stomach for it.

However, there are some choice excerpts that are worth revealing in order to preserve the sheer asininity of Trump’s thinking. He began by actually making an apt observation about his ballroom obsession, saying that he is pursuing it “on top of everything else that I am doing.” Which isn’t something a sane person would brag about. Then he continued…

“I’m building, on top of everything else that I am doing, one of the greatest and most beautiful Ballrooms anywhere in the World, with more than 300 Million Dollars of Great American Patriots’ money…This is a GIFT.”
Why Trump thinks that the White House needs the world’s greatest ballroom is pure lunacy. And it is not a “gift” just because it’s being paid for by his billionaire buddies. That would more accurately be called a bribe. Also, last October Trump claimed that he was also paying for the ballroom himself. But as usual, there is zero evidence of that.

Trump called it “a desperately needed space, sought for over 150 years…for big and important STATE EVENTS, Dinners, Meetings, Conferences.”
It can hardly be described as “desperately needed” if we survived without it for 250 years. And for all of that time we have never lacked any place to host state events.

Then Trump whines that “I got sued, this time by the Radical Left National (No!)Trust for Historic Preservation, a group that couldn’t care less about our Country!”
That’s right. Trump is being tormented by those well known radical subversives at the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

And Trump lies that “Congress never tried, or wanted, to stop the Ballroom Project!”
In reality, many Democratic members of Congress did try to stop Trump’s ballroom, But they have been in the minority and Republicans refused to go along. What’s more, the National Trust for Historic Preservation that is suing Trump is actually a congressionally chartered agency.

Trump falsely asserts that the “White House [is] a place that a President has never needed permission to change or enhance.”
That is diametrically opposite of the truth.

Trump makes the preposterous claim that “it is being done with the design, consent, and approval of the highest levels of the United States Military and Secret Service.”
So what? Those agencies have absolutely no authority over any of this.

The reason that Trump is lashing out about this now has to do with recent developments with the lawsuit that he mentioned. It is not going well for him in court. As reported by Newsweek

“U.S. District Judge Richard Leon, appointed by former Republican President George W. Bush, raised doubts during a hearing on whether President Donald Trump can proceed with tearing down the historic East Wing and replacing it with a massive new structure on federal land. The hearing stems from a lawsuit filed by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.”

Trump’s single-minded persistence on erecting this expensive and useless monument is more proof that his mental capacities are failing. And his online rant only makes that more obvious. It would be hilarious of this were the plot of a sitcom. But in the real world it’s pathetic, and potentially dangerous

Although there may be a hidden benefit. If we could keep Trump focused on nonsense like this, he might have less time to do so much of the damage that he has been doing to America and the world. So keep fighting those radicals at the Preservation Trust. And keep hosting award shows at the Kennedy Center. And while you’re at it, maybe spend a little time in Venezuela where you declared yourself acting president. Perhaps they could use a ballroom.

RUSH TO JUDGMENT: Fox News and Trump Blame the Victim for 2nd ICE Shooting Death in Minneapolis

“Tin soldiers and Trump is coming…” The only question now is how many more will die because of the callous savagery of Donald Trump and his fascist regime? The death that occurred Saturday morning on a Minneapolis street was entirely predictable and preventable, and was the direct result of a hostile, barbarous cabal of fascist mercenaries.

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

Donald Trump, Fox News, Lies

This marks the second fatality of an American citizen at the hands of Trump’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency. And it was no accident. The victim had committed no crime when he was mobbed by ICE agents, brutally pummeled, then shot to death, despite not presenting any kind of a credible threat. His murder was pre-sanctioned by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and its de facto chief in the White House, Trump’s Senior Fascist Advisor, Stephen Miller.

SEE THIS: Stephen Miller Tells Trump’s ICE Thugs that They Have Immunity to Do Whatever the F**k They Want

DHS says that the officers attempted to disarm a suspect, but that the suspect violently resisted. Video of the incident shows that the victim was pinned to the ground by four agents when one of them started shooting. So four agents armed with batons, pepper spray, handcuffs, and other policing paraphernalia, were unable to subdue a single man. There were at least five shots fired while the victim was laying on the ground motionless on his stomach.

This is the same DHS that said that Renee Good, a law abiding citizen and mother, was a domestic terrorist who ran over an ICE agent with her car, which the video shows never happened. Consequently, DHS cannot be believed about this. An independent investigation must be performed. Which could be difficult considering reports that ICE tried to keep local police away from the scene. That could be viewed as an attempt to cover up the facts, and perhaps to have an opportunity to plant false evidence.

Nevertheless, Fox News, before any review of the incident had even begun, drew conclusions siding with the ICE agents saying that “They are simply doing their jobs,” and laying part of the blame for this new atrocity on Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. The following exchange took place on Fox News shortly after the story broke…

Fox Reporter: If anything is dangerous and unlawful it’s what Tim Walz is doing. And there ought to be consequences. […]
Nicole Parker: They are literally enforcing the law. These are targeted interactions, these are targeted operations. They are simply doing their jobs. And again, without the details of who this subject is, whether they were someone they were arresting, whether they were a bystander, a protester, frankly when you’re looking at the deadly force policies that’s completely irrelevant. For them they are literally looking at what we’ve gone over and over before. My piece of advice to anyone in Minneapolis, and frankly anywhere in the country, let the law enforcement do their job. If you don’t want to run into any problems stay out of the vicinity of law enforcement.

Fox News is defending feds killing another Minnesotan: "They are literally enforcing the law. These are targeted interactions, these are targeted operations. They are simply doing their jobs."

Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-01-24T17:04:01.826Z

So the first comments by Fox News were to place the blame on Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. Then their former FBI analyst claims that ICE was just doing their job, even while admitting that she is speaking “without the details.” Maybe she should just shut up until she has them. Then she concludes by advising American citizens to abandon their constitutional rights to dissent, and “let the law enforcement do their job.” Even if they are committing heinous crimes?

Naturally, Trump weighed in on this matter with his customary maliciousness and ignorance. He posted a comment that was exceedingly long and riddled with lies on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, saying in part that…

“This is the gunman’s gun, loaded (with two additional full magazines!), and ready to go – What is that all about? Where are the local Police? Why weren’t they allowed to protect ICE Officers? The Mayor and the Governor called them off?”

First of all, even if it’s true that the victim had a gun, that is legal and is not evidence of any criminal intent. You would think that a 2nd Amendment fanatic like Trump would respect that. There is no evidence that the victim drew any weapon.

Trump quickly segued to questioning the actions of the local police and political officials. And typically, he did so without any proof of the bad behavior that he was blindly and irresponsibly asserting. But he was just getting started. Some other items in his tedious post included…

“Why does Ilhan Omar have $34 Million Dollars in her account?”
Setting aside the fact that that is absolutely untrue. what does it have to do with any of this? Other than to malign a Black woman in Congress who criticizes Trump.

“We are there because of massive Monetary Fraud.”
Now Trump is claiming that the reason he sent troops to Minneapolis was due to monetary fraud. So why did he send immigration cops rather than treasury? And why is this the first time he has ever mentioned it? And where are the arrests of perpetrators of fraud by his ICE thugs?

“The Mayor and the Governor are inciting Insurrection.”
Trump learned a new word: “Insurrection.” So now he using it to describe anyone that criticizes him on any subject. Just like he does with “hoax.” But he can’t provide any proof that Gov. Walz and Mayor Frey incited anything. They have consistently called for calm and peaceful protest.

Trump’s bizarre meandering from one subject to other unrelated subjects is further evidence of his cognitive impairment. He is flailing in the hopes of landing on a topic that his cult followers might lap up. But he is conspicuously failing to exhibit any kind of human emotion as a result of a man dying at the hands of his thugs.

None of this was necessary. None of it would have happened if Trump had not deployed military style troops to terrorize citizens in an otherwise peaceful American city. The victim had broken no laws when he was accosted. Nobody had to die today.

It’s painfully clear that ICE is the instigating factor. And they need to leave Minneapolis immediately, and every other American city, where they are provoking this violence on behalf of aspiring authoritarian Trump. It’s plain as day that he just wants to exploit the chaos that he is creating as an excuse to invoke the Insurrection Act, and/or declare martial law, and realize his dystopian dream of dictatorship. But the American people are not going to let him do it.

Trump FREAKS OUT Over ‘Environmental Insurrectionists’ and Needs Climate Change Explained to Him

The weather forecast is predicting that “A monster winter storm is sweeping across much of the U.S. through this weekend, dumping up to a foot of snow onto the New York City area and unleashing havoc across the country.” At least 13 states have already issued emergency declarations in anticipation of the coming deluge.

Donald Trump with Earth, Globe, warming, climate change

Millions of Americans will be impacted by this storm. There will undoubtedly be numerous fatalities and billions of dollars in damage. But Donald Trump is proving once again that he couldn’t care less about the hardships faced by the American people. He isn’t bothering to release warnings, or admonitions to seek safety, or announcements of what he is having the federal government do to prepare. Of course not. He’s too busy with posting exaltations of himself and childish insults aimed at his political foes. For instance…

SEE THIS: Trump Whines That He Has ‘Accomplished So Much’ That ‘We Shouldn’t Even Have An Election’

The nation might have been better prepared for the the coming storms had Trump not decimated the federal agencies that track them. And now, rather than attending to the needs of the nation, Trump took to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, to post a storm related message that only affirms how extraordinarily stupid he is, in addition to being insensitive. Trump raged about the…

“Record Cold Wave expected to hit 40 States. Rarely seen anything like it before. Could the Environmental Insurrectionists please explain — WHATEVER HAPPENED TO GLOBAL WARMING? ? ?”

Trump continues to proudly display what an infantile idiot he is.

News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-01-23T19:16:11.874Z

REALLY? Let’s just set aside Trump’s ridiculous characterization of environmental scientists, activists, and concerned citizens, as “Environmental Insurrectionists,” suggesting that they have violent intentions to overthrow the government. He’s calling everyone that he disagrees with “insurrectionists” these days. He learned a new word, so he’s repeating it uncontrollably and without regard to coherent context.. Which is a symptom of cognitive impairment.

What’s worse is that Trump is proudly admitting that he has no idea what Climate Change is. So he’s asking, sarcastically, for those with knowledge to explain it to him. But this isn’t the first time he has exhibited this ignorance. Trump still doesn’t know the difference between climate and weather.

For Trump’s benefit, the simplest explanation of “WHATEVER HAPPENED TO GLOBAL WARMING” is that it remains a dire threat to the planet. It does not mean that everywhere, at all times, it is getting warmer. It means that the climate of the whole Earth is getting warmer on average. That can cause some places to actually get colder. Warming oceans can alter the jet stream and push cold weather fronts farther south than normal. Which is what is happening now.

Trump won’t bother to acknowledge these simple facts, even if he understood them. And he surely won’t look any deeper for more complex explanations. But his purposeful bone-headedness doesn’t invalidate reality. And virtually every credible expert agrees that Climate Change is occurring and rapidly progressing. 2025 was one of the hottest years on record.

Trump will never acknowledge the truth about Climate Change, that he calls a hoax perpetrated by China. What Trump will do is to continue lie about it and suppress clean energy resources (wind, solar, etc.) that can mitigate the problem. And he will also continue to post asinine comments that misinform his cult devotees and embrace blithering idiocy as a virtue.

By doing so Trump caters to the needs of the big polluting corporations who will show their gratitude with generous donations, aka bribes. Because that’s who he cares about. Not you. And not any of the people who will be hurt in the coming storm(s).

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

In Donald Trump’s ongoing campaign to nullify the First Amendment of the Constitution, and specifically it’s provisions to protect freedom of the press, he is becoming ever more flagrant and dangerous in his repressive scheming. And he is exhibiting his infamous weakness and fear of the tenets of democracy that shape American political and social principles.

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

Trump is now instructing his Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to alter the long-standing rules regarding “Equal Time” in order to put an end to the criticism he receives from television talk show hosts and their guests. It’s just the latest tactic that he has deployed to control what the American people are allowed to see and hear on television and other media.

SEE THIS: HOLY CR*P! Trump Floats Executive Order to Dictate to TV Networks What They Are Allowed to Air

Trump’s new attempt to muzzle the media is an order to his FCC chairman and chief censorship czar, Brendan Carr, to alter the way the FCC regulates “Equal Time” rules. For decades there have been exceptions for bona fide newsworthy interviews, whether they take place on a news program or an entertainment related talk show. But since Trump has been the subject of so much well deserved criticism, he is seeking to stifle his critics any way that he can. According to the Hollywood Reporter

“The FCC said Wednesday that it is clarifying its guidance on its political equal time rules, a change that could end long-standing exemptions for interviews with politicians on shows like The View, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, The Tonight Show and The Late Show.” […]

“News interviews have long been exempted from the requirement, but the FCC under Carr is pursuing a novel argument that late night and daytime talk shows are biased to the extent that they shouldn’t qualify. Among the factors in considering the carve-out is newsworthiness.” […]

“In a statement, Anna Gomez, the lone Democrat on the FCC, said the move represents an ‘escalation in this FCC’s ongoing campaign to censor and control speech.’ She added, ‘Broadcasters should not feel pressured to water down, sanitize, or avoid critical coverage out of fear of regulatory retaliation.'”

It is no coincidence that Trump’s actions are aimed at programs such as “Jimmy Kimmel Live” and “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.” Trump has been determined to shut those programs down due to their frequent jokes and satirical humor about him. Trump has never been able to take a joke. His efforts have resulted in Colbert’s program being canceled (effective in May), and he got Kimmel suspended, but for only three days when outraged viewers complained to the network.

After the FCC made its announcement regarding “Equal Time,” Trump posted a link to this story on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. His link contained a comment that specifically referenced the ABC daytime talk show “The View” and Kimmel’s late-night talk show.

This is just another threat to First Amendment protected speech. The changes that are being floated by Trump’s FCC would make it virtually impossible for programs like Kimmel’s to ever book a political guest, or even an entertainer who has political opinions. There would be no practical way for them to also book anyone with a different opinion. And, of course, it would impinge on their free speech rights to produce programs free of government intervention.

It’s extraordinarily hypocritical that Trump and his MAGA GOP are suddenly in favor of government asserting this sort of control when they have long advocated for small government that kept out of matters such as these. Now they are craving more government interference than ever. And they are cheering Trump on when wields the power of his office to suppress anyone who is insufficiently worshipful of him. Such as his many lawsuits against the media, including a new threat unleashed Thursday morning against pollsters who had the audacity to publish surveys showing how despised Trump is…

CRYBABY TRUMP is whining again. This time about polls that correctly show his approval ratings in the toilet.Typically, Trump lies about everything. And he says that he is filing (another) lawsuit against the press for doing their job and conducting accurate polls. #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-01-22T18:12:40.334Z

Trump won’t be happy until he has banished every one of his critics from all media. He’s following the playbook of his heroes and mentors, Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Kim Jong Un. But he isn’t going to get away with it. In America we have the Constitution on our side. And as long as the millions of patriots who cherish freedom stay strong and rise up to quash Trump and his censorious comrades, he will fail again and again and again.

Trump’s Press Secretary Flagrantly Lies That Trump Didn’t Say Iceland When He Meant Greenland

The imperative to distort what the world plainly sees and hears with regard to Donald Trump has been a constant feature of the Trump Era. He and his cronies all too frequently find it necessary to provide explanations and/or excuses for his obvious mental glitches that are utterly devoid of any resemblance to reality.

Donald Trump and Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt

When a national “leader” is so delusional that he can’t distinguish fact from fiction, it presents a dangerous set of circumstances that could result in atrocities and behavior that has the potential to undermine the stability of a nation that relies on a coherent vision to preserve democracy and freedom.

SEE THIS: Trump Whines That He Has ‘Accomplished So Much’ That ‘We Shouldn’t Even Have An Election’

On Trump’s one year anniversary of his second occupation of the White House, he is exhibiting the sort of deranged conduct that could unravel America’s political and social infrastructure. That conduct is seen in ways big and small. The big examples include his attacks on foreign countries like Venezuela, his imposition of inflationary tariffs, and his military invasions of American cities.

An example of conduct on a smaller, but still significant scale, occurred Wednesday when he delivered a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. During his address Trump referred several times to Iceland, when it was clear that he meant Greenland. It’s a mistake that would have consumed the national media for days or weeks if President Biden had done it, but is hardly making a ripple from the press that seems to accept Trump’s cognitive impairment as normal and acceptable.

Making matters worse is how Trump’s handlers try desperately to whitewash his blunders. And on this occasion his Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, was wound up and ready to go. News Nation reporter Libbey Dean, noted that Trump “appeared to mix up Greenland and Iceland around three times.” In response Leavitt flatly denied that it happened, saying that…

“No he didn’t, Libby (sic). His written remarks referred to Greenland as a ‘piece of ice’ because that’s what it is.”

For the record, here is what Trump said along with the video of Trump saying precisely what Leavitt insists that he didn’t say…

“They’re not there for us on Iceland, that I can tell you. I mean, our stock market took the first dip yesterday because of Iceland. So Iceland’s already costs a lot of money.”

Trump is now confusing Greenland and Iceland: "They're not there for us on Iceland, that I can tell you. Our stock market took the first dip yesterday because of Iceland. So Iceland has already cost us a lot of money."

Leavitt’s explanation doesn’t make any sense at all. It doesn’t matter what was in the written transcript. No one is criticizing that. What matters is what Trump said. And he said “Iceland.” To which Leavitt didn’t mince words in Trump’s defense saying “No, he didn’t.” She is the walking, squawking embodiment of George Orwell’s admonition in “1984,” “The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

What’s more, Leavitt’s excuse that Trump had referred to Greenland in writing as “a piece of ice” has no bearing on Trump changing the name of the country to Iceland – three times – when delivering the speech. Trump also called Greenland “a piece of land.” Does that mean it would have been okay to call the country Landland?

Trump did indeed refer to Greenland several times as “a piece of ice,” but in explicitly derogatory terms. For example he said “Who the hell wants to defend a license agreement or a lease, which is a large piece of ice in the middle of the ocean”? Followed inexplicably by “What I’m asking for is a piece of ice.” But those references cannot coherently lead to referring to the Greenland as Iceland, which is a name already in use by another nearby and totally separate country.

Trump’s Davos speech was jam-packed with bullpucky on a variety of topics. But his mentions of Iceland/Greenland stood out for their sheer lunacy. And it’s notable that shortly after his speech Trump posted a comment to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, wherein he announced that an agreement had been reached regarding the fate of Greenland. And true to form, it was a tediously long and bizarre declaration that the U.S. and NATO had agreed to a relationship with Greenland that is, well, exactly what it has been all along. So all of the turmoil that Trump had put everyone through was, as usual, utterly pointless.

This is Trump's long, rambling attempt to save face. It says essentially that the U.S. and NATO have agreed to do exactly what they've been doing all along.In other words…T-rumpA -lwaysC-hickensO-ut!

Sean Hannity Drools Over Insane Trump Proposal to Give Everyone in Greenland $100,000

The Sycophancy Meter for devotees of Donald Trump routinely registers at the highest levels that it is capable of reporting. His cult members are entirely devoid of any measure of shame or self respect when it comes to affirming their unflinching adoration of Dear Leader.

Donald Trump Sean Hannity

Consistent with most cults, Trump’s is characterized by his painfully obvious psychological and emotional abnormalities. He is paranoid, petulant, rage-filled, malignant narcissist, with a tenuous grasp on reality. It is a profile that he shares with the likes of Jim Jones. Although a notable difference between Jones and Trump is that Trump would have charged his flock for the Kool Aid. Like Jones, however, Trump demands an unwavering faith in his infallibility, and eternal loyalty.

SEE THIS: Trump Whines That He Has ‘Accomplished So Much’ That ‘We Shouldn’t Even Have An Election’

In a demonstration of his unreserved reverence for Trump, Sean Hannity of Fox News led a segment on his program with MAGA Sen. Eric Schmitt of Missouri. The two discussed Trump’s ludicrous intentions to annex Greenland against the will of it’s citizens, with force if necessary, and despite the opposition of America’s allies in the European Union and NATO. In his fawning display of idolization, Hannity gushed that…

“Donald Trump’s forever in a state of negotiation. Everything’s negotiable. A $100,000 offer for every person in Greenland – on average making 60 grand a year – Denmark’s not exactly been generous to them. They don’t have the ability to help them take their natural resources to the next level and enrich every person in Greenland. We do…Seems like a no-brainer to me.”

Indeed. It would require having no brains to give Trump’s proposal even the slightest bit of serious consideration. Hannity’s praise of Trump for his alleged negotiating prowess is just more of the mythology that he is a great dealmaker. Never minds his numerous bankruptcies and multiple civil and criminal judgments for fraud. And don’t bother looking up the real author of his book, “The Art of the Deal.”

Hannity’s contention that for Trump “Everything’s negotiable,” is hardly a compliment. It highlights Trump’s ethical vacancy wherein he would negotiate away his mother’s dentures for a McDonalds Happy Meal for himself, or an award trophy that he didn’t earn. And he would make (and has made) the same awful deals with American principles.

The specific deal that Hannity is referencing involves Trump’s proposal to pay every resident of Greenland $100,000 in exchange for surrendering their sovereignty. Which just proves that Trump can put a price tag on anything, including honor, virtue, and patriotism. And if he would do that to Greenlanders, he would it to Americans.

What’s more, Hannity is exhibiting his own lack of moral character by lauding Trump’s shallowness and greed as virtuous. Hannity is also flaunting his ignorance by asserting that Denmark has not been “generous” to the Greenlanders. Does Hannity think that Trump would allow them to continue to receive free healthcare, education, and extended parental leave and vacation? Would they give up all of those lifetime benefits for a one-time handout?

As for their ability to “take their natural resources to the next level and enrich every person in Greenland,” maybe they don’t crave such materialism the way Trump does. Maybe they prefer the quality of life they have that regularly ranks Denmark as one of the happiest countries on Earth.

Finally, What would America get for the billions it would cost to compensate Greenland? It would just be another expenditure by Trump that only benefits him and his wealthy comrades, but ignores how the American people are struggling. All in all, a truly horrible deal. Which is exactly the kind that Trump specializes in. And neither Greenlanders nor Americans should take him up on it.

Trump’s Asst Attorney General for Civil Rights Maligns Liberal Americans as ‘Godless People’

The public profile of Donald Trump has always been a mash-up of preposterously fabricated personal characteristics that never match-up with reality. Beginning, of course, with his efforts to portray himself as a successful businessman and deal maker. Which was a stretch for someone with numerous bankruptcies whose book on deal making was written by someone else.

Donald Trump Messiah

Trump has also tried to pass himself off as brave military advocate (who dodged the draft five times and called those who didn’t “suckers” and “losers.” And he fancies himself a peace proponent (who invades foreign countries and even American cities). And he regards his mental capacity as surpassing that of other mere mortals (because he “passed” simple cognitive tests meant to detect early onset Alzheimer’s). For these, and many other self-serving reasons, Trump insists that he deserves everyone’s gratitude.

SEE THIS: POOR BABY: Trump Whines that Polls Don’t Give Him Credit for ‘the Greatness of America’

And speaking of gratitude, we must not forget that Trump also considers himself to be America’s pastor. Despite rarely attending any church services, and frequently disparaging the faith of others, Trump wants to held in the highest esteem as a religious prophet. Never mind that he is a serial adulterer, patron of prostitutes, pathological liar, pal (at least) of pedophiles, and prolific user of profanities. He remains the messiah of the MAGA cult.

On Monday morning Trump’s Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights, Harmeet Dhillon, was “interviewed” by ultra-MAGA podcaster Benny Johnson. Johnson, by the way, is also a known asset of Russian propagandists. But that surely wouldn’t prevent any Trump cronies from embracing him. It probably helps.

During their discussion, Johnson and Dhillon talked about a recent incident where some protesters in Minneapolis interrupted the services of a right-wing pastor who also happened to be agent of the brutally inhumane Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE). He was known to use his position in the church to defend the savage and unlawful tactics of ICE. The protest was seen by the Trumpist pair as an intolerable violation of religious liberty. So they took the opportunity to lie about and insult the protesters in a manner wholly inappropriate for any public servant.

Johnson: It’s not an act of journalism if I kick in the door of a synagogue and go up to the rabbi and start live-streaming that as people scream at the Jewish people trying to pray. Not that’s not an act of journalism. That’s terrorism.
Dhillon: One of the issues here is the people on the left that we’re talking about, they’re not familiar with what goes on in a house of worship. A lot of them are godless people.”

To begin with, nobody “kicked in the door” of any religious facility. And to characterize the actions of the protesters as terrorism is to call Jesus Christ a terrorist. Anyone who has actually read the bible knows the story of when Jesus entered a temple and, upon seeing the sacrilegious activities carried out inside, overturned the tables and condemned the hypocrites.

In response, Dhillon accused the protesters of not being “familiar with what goes on in a house of worship.” Of course, she has no way of knowing that. And she doesn’t seem to be bothered by Trump not being familiar with anything regarding Christianity, or his brazen disrespect for all of its principles. You know, welcoming strangers, feeding the poor, healing the sick, humility, loving one another, etc.

This entire discussion was just another example of the hypocrisy that is employed by the Trump cultists, and their compulsion to exploit faith as a political tool in order to keep their glassy-eyed disciples in line. They have managed to live out the old saying that “When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross” And they do it with an unfathomable degree of pride mixed with ignorance. Which isn’t surprising considering the model presented by their Dear Leader…
