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

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

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

Donald Trump and Mike Johnson

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Barack Obama, Donald Trump

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

TRUMP BABIES? Dr. Oz Has a Plan to Increase the U.S. Birthrate that Has a Troubling History

Posted by on May 11, 2026 at 2:10 pm. 1 Comments :

The Ego that Ate America is once again on the rampage as Donald Trump leads a parade of his cult devotees to his gold-plated Oval Office for a ceremonial Kissing Of The Royal…let’s say Ring. On this occasion Trump was exalting himself for proposing a maternal health initiative, including the launch of a new government website for new and expectant mothers. And if it’s anything like Trump’s other initiatives, America’s moms better steer clear of it.

Donald Trump

This sort of glory hailing by Trump has become a regularly scheduled affair to fluff Dear Leader. And he probably really needs it now, as his persistently cranky disposition may be more on edge than usual due to his abysmally depressed approval ratings. With each new day he manages to achieve another record low.

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

Of particular note during this conclave were the contributions by Trump’s administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, “doctor” Mehmet Oz, whose very name conjures up images of a conman behind a curtain. Dr. Oz was called upon to discuss some of the critical details that made up Trump’s new initiative. And if you were expecting more of the standard BS that emanates from the Trump regime, you won’t be disappointed. Oz began by lobbying for what he called “Trump Babies.” No, really…

“There are private companies that are now taking advantage of the whole group of individuals who can get access to fertility medications and its treatments that go with them. And if the services get better, we make them more affordable, we’ll have more Trump babies.”

Dr. Oz wants "more Trump babies?" "TRUMP BABIES!?!"See "The Lebensborn Program"encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/a…

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-05-11T17:13:02.898Z

WHUT? Dr. Oz wants “more Trump babies?” “TRUMP BABIES!?!” WTF are Trump Babies? And if they are anything like Eric and Don Jr., who actually wants them?

What is more worrisome is that this sort of babbling is reminiscent of another initiative that was pursued by one of Trump’s historical idols. Way back in the 1930’s the Hitler regime proposed something that sounded chillingly similar. While there were some notable differences in details, just the rhetorical similarity makes one’s skin crawl. According to the Holocaust Encyclopedia…

“The Nazi regime encouraged the birth of children deemed ‘racially valuable’ in order to increase Germany’s ‘Aryan’ population. This campaign closely reflected the regime’s racial ideology and theories of eugenics.” […]

“The Lebensborn program was designed by the SS to increase Germany’s declining birthrate…[Heinrich] Himmler personally oversaw many aspects of the Lebensborn program. He encouraged SS men to marry early and have at least four children.” […]

“The Nazi regime strengthened existing German laws that prohibited most abortions.”

Trump has definitely advocated policies that approach the Nazi’s brand of eugenics. Aside from frequently boasting about his own “superior” genes, Trump has referred to minorities as “vermin” who are “poisoning the blood” of America. He has maligned immigrants who he said came from “shithole countries.” He has complained that there are already too many of “those” people who don’t meet the genetic standards he has set. No, really…

MORE HERE: Master Racist Trump Attacks America: ‘We’ve Got a Lot of Bad Genes in Our Country Right Now’

Dr. Oz went on to outline his plan for a Whiter America. That plan calls for addressing a crisis that he describes as being “under-babied.” No, really…

“Let me speak about the realities that one in three Americans are under-babied. What does under-babied mean? That means that you either don’t have any children or you have less children than you would normally want to have. And to Katie’s point, we have a crisis that’s causing our fertility rate to drop below 1.5. The replacement rate is 2.1. So we’re way below what we need just to replace the people that we have in America.”

Dr Oz: "One in three Americans are under-babied"

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-05-11T15:28:35.754Z

Now, on the surface that may not sound particularly racist. But when you look at the numbers that Oz uses to justify his plan, his true motivations become clear. As recently reported by ABC News…

“A major demographic shift is underway in the United States. White births in the country have fallen below 50% for the first time ever. That’s among the findings in a new study published Friday by professors from the Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell.”

The birthrate that Oz is worried about isn’t that of the nation as a whole, and certainly not that of the nation’s minorities, whose birthrate remains pretty strong. What the Trumpists are afraid of is that minorities are reproducing at significantly higher rates than Whites. And in Trumpland they consider that to be a crisis that requires immediate attention.

Thus their new proposal that is aimed at those who they currently perceive to be under producing. And that’s the White population. The Trump regime seems to have improved on the Nazi plan by disguising it in softer language, and by not being as blatantly bigoted. But it unmistakably shares some of the same objectives.

What’s more, those objectives are also being pursued by Trump and his MAGA Republicans in electoral matters by drawing new congressional district maps that erase districts currently represented by Blacks and other minorities. And if you think that it’s all just a coincidence, then don’t be surprised when you find out that you’re next.

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

Posted by on May 5, 2026 at 3:15 pm. 0 Comments :

The resting state of Donald Trump’s personality, or what passes for one, is “Unbridled Rage.” Consequently, it isn’t exactly news when he is appalled by something. But it is still useful to pay attention to precisely what absurdities are triggering the Narcissist-in-Chief.

Donald Trump, Mocking Disability

On Monday morning Trump hosted a group of athletes and children, along with a couple of his Cabinet flunkies, at the White House to promote physical fitness. That’s a subject that Trump is almost as unqualified to discuss as mental fitness. Trump’s impairment is so noticeably bad that recent polling shows that the American people regard President Biden, who Trump has maligned as mentally incompetent, as preferable to Trump.

SEE THIS: CUE TRUMP TANTRUM: Multiple Polls Find that Most Americans Favor Biden Over Trump

In this morning’s event Trump rattled off his usual quota of lies and inanities. Many were inappropriate for his youthful guests. But one that deserves some extra attention is his preposterous claim to being so beloved by his cult followers that it was even affirmed by a poll conducted by “fake news” CNN. Trump babbled that…

I am at, according to CNN, 100% approval within the Republican Party…Did you see the CNN poll? Nobody talks about it. I think the people that did that poll probably got fired. But within the Republican Party and MAGA, which is basically 100% of the party I think,”

Trump lies: "According to CNN, I'm at 100% approval within the Republican Party"

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-05-05T15:49:59.081Z

There is a pretty good reason that nobody is talking about that CNN poll. It doesn’t exist. What Trump is talking about is a poll by NBC in March that found that among his MAGA devotees Trump had 100% approval. Which shouldn’t surprise anyone. It’s like finding that 100% of the pigs in a sty approve of the mud.

At least this time Trump acknowledged that the poll respondents were Republicans and MAGA. On previous occasions he cited the same poll, but left out that detail, implying that 100% of the population at large approved of him. Even so, in these new remarks Trump is still misleading by saying that MAGA “is basically 100% of the party.” Actually, in the same NBC poll they segmented the results to show that among non-MAGA Republicans, Trump’s approval was only 66%. So a third (31%) of his own party doesn’t approve of him.

MORE HERE: Trump Desperately Clings to Wildly Adoring Polls, Doesn’t Mention They Only Polled His Supporters

So what Trump said was “according to CNN,” wasn’t. And Trump flagrantly misrepresented what NBC’s poll did find. And he even imagined that CNN fired their pollsters. Never mind that virtually every recent poll shows that Trump is languishing at record lows for approval, as well as on every major issue, including Iran, the economy, immigration, etc.

No wonder Trump is so obsessed with lying about the abysmal state o of his popularity, or utter lack thereof. He is literally the most despised president in modern times. This forebodes badly for him with regard to the upcoming midterm elections. His ego simply can’t handle that rejection. So he’s feverishly trying to deceive his disciples – and, more importantly in his mind, himself.

FBI Director Kash Patel Tells Fox News He’s Filing a Lawsuit Over Allegations of His Drinking

Posted by on April 19, 2026 at 1:23 pm. 0 Comments :

The brief tenure of Kash Patel as Donald Trump’s FBI Director has failed to produce much of anything to brag about. He has humiliated himself and the Bureau with his inappropriate antics in office. Such as his drunken partying with members of the U.S. Olympic Hockey team. Or flying on government jets to see his girlfriend, a country-western singer, in concert.

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

Now Patel is taking on one of Trump’s most recognizable flaws. Throughout his career in both business and politics, Trump has demonstrated his affinity for lawsuits. He has made himself the most litigious president in the history of the United States. Although his legal misadventures usually don’t work out very well for him.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Lawsuit Against the Wall Street Journal for Reporting on Him and Epstein is Thrown Out

On Sunday morning’s episode of Maria Bartiromo’s program on Fox News, She invited Patel to come on to respond to some recent accusations of dangerously inappropriate behavior as reported in an extraordinarily well-sourced article in “The Atlantic.” Bartiromo began by asking Patel about the article. Which led to the following exchange…

Patel: Maria, I am happy to announce on your show that we are not going to take this laying down. You want to attack my character? Come at me. Bring it on. I’ll see you in court.
Bartiromo: So you’re gonna sue them?
Patel: Absolutely. It’s coming tomorrow
Bartiromo: Tomorrow you will be dropping a lawsuit against The Atlantic?
Patel: Yes I will. For defamation. And for – you know what Maria? – We have to fight back against the fake news…If the fake news Mafia wants to ring their drum beat as loud as they can, they’re never gonna stop me.

BARTIROMO: So you're gonna sue them?KASH PATEL: Absolutely. It's coming tomorrowBARTIROMO: Tomorrow you will be dropping a lawsuit against The Atlantic?PATEL: Yes I will. For defamation

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-04-19T14:35:10.407Z

REALLY? It’s good to know that America’s FBI boss is devoting his full attention to the things that matter most to the American people. His pursuit of criminals in the “fake news Mafia” will surely make people feel more safe in their homes and neighborhoods.

Patel is displaying the same sort of fragile ego for which his boss Trump is so well known. And of course, he’s only doing this to please Trump, who is disappointed that there haven’t been more arrests of his political enemies.

However, Patel isn’t helping himself or his reputation. Notice that he never actually denies any of the facts in The Atlantic’s story. What’s more, he’s going to be ripped to shreds during the discovery process if he actually files this lawsuit.

The author of The Atlantic’s article, Sarah Fitzpatrick, did a great job of putting together credible sources, including many from within the FBI. She wrote of Patel that…

“He is erratic, suspicious of others, and prone to jumping to conclusions before he has necessary evidence, according to the more than two dozen people I interviewed about Patel’s conduct, including current and former FBI officials, staff at law-enforcement and intelligence agencies, hospitality-industry workers, members of Congress, political operatives, lobbyists, and former advisers.” […]

“They said that the problems with his conduct go well beyond what has been previously known, and include both conspicuous inebriation and unexplained absences. His behavior has often alarmed officials at the FBI and the Department of Justice, even as he won support from the White House…Several officials told me that Patel’s drinking has been a recurring source of concern across the government.” […]

“On multiple occasions in the past year, members of his security detail had difficulty waking Patel because he was seemingly intoxicated, according to information supplied to Justice Department and White House officials.”

What we learn from The Atlantic’s story is that Trump’s Secretary of War Crimes, Pete Hegseth, isn’t the only lush in the Trump administration. Patel is exposed as wholly unfit to serve according to his own staff and security detail. The article reveals the he frequently exhibits severe paranoia with regard to anyone who criticizes him or Trump; that he has led a purge of experienced FBI agents for failing to be sufficiently worshipful of Dear Leader; and that he has jeopardized investigations by publicly releasing information that had not been verified, and was later found to be false.

In other words, Patel is just as unqualified and incompetent as just about every other member of Trump’s Cabinet. And following the recent firings of Homeland Security Secretary, Kristi Noem, and Attorney General Pam Bondi, it may be Patel who is next in line to hear Trump’s hokey catchphrase from his old reality TV game show, The Apprentice: “You’re fired!”

UPDATE: Patel kept his word and filed his loopy lawsuit against The Atlantic for a preposterous $250 million. As expected, there is no evidence of actual malice (a requirement for a legal finding of defamation) in Patel’s filing. The Atlantic acted responsibly, giving Patel opportunities prior to publication to rebut the allegations, and by securing and verifying multiple, credible sources. If this goes to discovery or court, Patel will come to regret it. It just reinforces and further publicizes the allegations against him.

Trump is APPALLED that Fox News Reported on Tom Steyer, a Candidate for Governor of California

Posted by on April 15, 2026 at 2:13 pm. 0 Comments :

Poor crybaby Donald Trump is very upset by Fox News reporting on the governor’s race in California. Well, he’s only upset by part of it. Apparently Trump thinks that Fox News should only be covering Republican candidates for governor. And even then, only the MAGA candidate that he endorsed.

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

Donald Trump, Fox News, Fake

On Wednesday morning Trump was busy performing what he thinks are his presidential duties: Watching Fox News and posting asinine comments on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. Never mind that there is a war going on in Iran that has spread through the Middle East. Or that the U.S. economy is tanking. Or that his approval ratings are in the toilet as the midterm election is approaching.

SEE THIS: UH-OH! Fox News Poll Spells DOOM for Trump and His MAGA Republicans in Congress

Rather than addressing the critical issues that the American people are most interested in, Trump was raging over what he regards as an atrocity committed by his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News. Trump pounded out a furious rant concerning something he just saw on Fox about the California governor’s race…

“Why is FoxNews showing SLEAZEBAG Tom Steyer, doing a big piece on him right now, and probably putting him ‘into play,’ instead of talking about Republican Candidates, and really good ones like Steve Hilton, and Republicans? How can a Republican expect to win that State, with their Mail In Voting and Rigged Elections, when you have FoxNews promoting the Democrats? Nobody cares about Tom Steyer, he is a LOSER, but Fox is making it possible for a guy like this to win. VOTE FOR STEVE HILTON, AND TURN CALIFORNIA AROUND! President DONALD J. TRUMP”

OMG! Fox News actually did a story that included a Democratic candidate for governor of California? How could they? After all, Tom Steyer, according to Trump, is just a “SLEAZEBAG” and a “LOSER” and “nobody cares” about him. Which are all facets of character that Trump knows well due to all them being core parts of his own character.

Trump’s assertion that nobody cares about Steyer flies in the face of reality as he is currently leading in the polls for all candidates – Democratic and Republican – running in the upcoming primary. And Trump’s claim that Fox News put Steyer “into Play.” ignores Steyer’s $120 million advertising campaign.

In Trump’s cartoon brain, Fox News is obligated to only do stories about Republicans, and only about Trump if they can swing it. So he whines that Fox should have been reporting on the GOP candidate, Steve Hilton, who happens to be a former Fox News contributor. What a coincidence.

Adding to the absurdity of Trump’s comment, Fox News had actually just done a story about Hilton less than a hour before Trump’s post. The Hilton segment was mostly vicious and false anti-Steyer ranting. The “big piece” about Steyer that rattled Trump wasn’t much more than a mention of his fundraising and his standing in the polls along with the other candidates. And it also contained some swipes at Steyer’s rational immigration proposals that Trump and the GOP regard as radical leftist policies.

Finally, Trump also had to throw in a dig at “Mail In Voting and Rigged Elections” as the reason he thinks that Republicans can’t win in California. Of course it couldn’t have anything to do with their radical right policies that Californians abhor, could it? Also, someone should remind Trump of Arnold Schwarzenegger, who managed to overcome the election rigging and win two terms as governor.

If Trump really thinks that Fox News viewers are going to be persuaded to vote for Steyer given the negative reports they put on the air, he is dumber than we thought. Likewise, putting more of Hilton on isn’t going to help him with the vast majority of California’s voters who don’t watch Fox News. But if whining on Truth Social makes Trump feel better and keeps him from doing greater harm with his wars, his economic fiascoes, and his relentless breaches of law and morality, then let him go ahead and do that. Like all babies, it’s best to keep his attention focused on trivial distractions.

AMERICA FIRST? Trump Promises To Use ‘The Economic Might of the US To Strengthen Hungary’s Economy’

Posted by on April 11, 2026 at 2:44 pm. 0 Comments :

The political centerpiece of Donald Trump’s occupation of the White House has been the cheesy sloganeering that he stole from 1920s American fascists: “Make America Great Again.” That message presupposes that America wasn’t great to begin with. And Trump expanded that pessimistic point of view by insisting that he would always put “America First.”

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

Donald Trump

Trump’s promises with regard to his commitment to American supremacy are like all of his other promises. They are flimsy and unreliable and subject to being abandoned whenever they don’t advance his personal interests. And through it all Trump manages to imagine himself as a beloved leader that can do no wrong.

SEE THIS: Trump Desperately Clings to Wildly Adoring Polls, Doesn’t Mention They Only Polled His Supporters

In the fourteen months since Trump returned to power he has plainly demonstrated his ignorance and incompetence. He has wrecked the economy with higher inflation due to his tariffs and idiotic trade policies. He has destroyed faith in the law with his invasions of U.S. cities by ICE thugs and persecution of political foes. And he has launched a reckless and illegal war against Iran.

So how does all of that translate into fulfilling Trump’s pledge of achieving American greatness? Obviously it does not. And Trump’s response to that record of abysmal failure is to spend millions of taxpayer dollars erecting tributes to himself, such as a vanity ballroom, an arch of triumph, and plastering his name and pumpkin-hued mug on everything from the Kennedy Center to U.S. currency.

Trump is engaging in a festival of ego-fluffing that is reminiscent of the totalitarian dictators that he idolizes and seeks to emulate. Among them are Russia’s Vladimir Putin, North Korea’s Kim Jong Un, and Hungary’s Viktor Orbán. The latter of which is lately on Trump’s mind due to the election on Sunday that he is predicted to lose.

Trump has given Orbán his “Complete and Total Endorsement.” He even sent his Vice-President, JD Vance, to Hungary last week to campaign for Orbán. And most recently Trump posted a supportive comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, to buttress Orbán’s losing effort, saying that “My Administration stands ready to use the full Economic Might of the United States to strengthen Hungary’s Economy.”

Good to know. With everything that is going wrong in the U.S., Trump is focusing squarely on the political travails of a Hungarian authoritarian. And he’s using the “the full Economic Might” of the U.S. to bribe Hungarian voters to reelect someone that they clearly don’t want. Perhaps the American people would prefer that Might to be used to shore up America’s healthcare system, or resolve the homeless crisis, or improve education, or even just pay down the debt that Trump has exploded. But Trump has other priorities that include propping up his heroes.

MORE HERE: Trump Slobbers Over Hungarian Dictator Viktor Orbán, Whose Unchecked Power He Envies and Craves

For some background on Orbán, historian Timothy Snyder wrote an essay that summarizes much of the current obsession that Trump has with Orbán. He notes that Orbán is a subversive member of the European Union who often works to advance the interests of Europe’s enemies. Snyder wrote in part that…

“Viktor Orbán, the prime minister of Hungary, is a central figure in the international far right, and indeed the man, more than any other, who created the networks that normalized what he himself calls ‘illiberalism.’ Should he lose, as all signs indicate he will, this would be blow to far more familiar figures such as JD Vance and Donald Trump, who are Orbán’s pupils.” […]

“Orbán has done more than anyone else to generate negative propaganda about the European Union, treating it as a hostile enemy. […] His government opened EU territory to Russian and Chinese intelligence operations.”

There may, however, be a silver lining to the campaigning by Trump and Vance for Orbán. As reported by Newsweek…

“The likelihood Viktor Orbán winning Hungary’s upcoming parliamentary election has dropped since U.S. Vice President JD Vance made a speech endorsing him, according to the latest betting odds.”

Betting platforms Kalshi and Polymarket both show Orbán’s chances of winning have declined significantly since Trump’s endorsement and Vance’s visit. So maybe we should encourage Trump and company to do more campaigning for world leaders, and even for candidates here at home. His name is like poison to many voters.

UPDATE: Orbán not only lost, he lost big, with the winning Tisza Party gaining a supermajority in the Hungarian Parliament.

They have been terrorized in their own neighborhoods by Trump’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) thugs. And the nation is currently embroiled in a reckless and illegal war against Iran that Trump has failed to coherently justify or provide an exit strategy for. No wonder his approval ratings are in the toilet. Even according to recent polls by his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News…

SEE THIS: UH-OH! Fox News Poll Spells DOOM for Trump and His MAGA Republicans in Congress

Trump isn’t a big fan of polls that don’t show him as adoringly worshipped by 110% majorities of the people. And he has been critical of Fox News for occasionally publishing polls that reveal his weaknesses. So expect him to be in a foul mood if his nursemaids show him the latest survey from Fox News that asked voters what they think of their tax burdens since he returned to office. According to Fox News…

“With the deadline to file taxes a week away, a record number of voters say their taxes are too high, according to the latest Fox News Poll. They are also bothered by the rich not paying their fair share and how the government uses their money. In addition, three-quarters feel government spending is wasteful — up almost 20 points since last year. […] A record 70% of voters think the taxes they pay are too high — up 11 points from last March and surpassing the previous high of 64% in March 2024.”

These are abysmal numbers that reflect Trump’s ignorance, as well as the deliberate malevolence of his policies. He never intended to serve the interests of the average American. He was always focused solely on enriching himself and his billionaire buddies. So, mission accomplished. Consequently, these results shouldn’t surprise anyone.

The respondents to this survey cannot be dismissed as simply being whining malcontents who would complain about their taxes whatever they were. They are having valid reactions to the reality that they are encountering. Their dissatisfaction is borne out in a recent study by the non-partisan Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy that found that…

“President Trump has raised taxes on most Americans in ways that more than offset the tax cuts he has signed into law. The net effect this year of all his tax policies is to increase taxes on the average American in all income groups aside from the richest 5 percent.” […]

“For a large majority of Americans, the tax increase resulting from Trump’s tariffs, along with the ending of the health care tax credits, more than offsets any tax cuts provided by OBBBA (One Big Beautiful Bill Act).”

Additional findings in the Fox News poll reveal that “What bothers people most about federal income taxes is the wealthy are not paying enough,” and that “Disapproval of how President Trump is handling taxes has reached a record high of 64%, up 11 points from a year ago.” Also, while three-quarters of Democrats, Republicans, and independents say that “a significant share of government spending is wasteful and inefficient,” for some reason 69% of Republicans rate Trump positively for his handling of government waste. That is in contrast to “nearly all Democrats (90%) and a large majority of independents (80%) [who say he] is not doing a good job.”

None of this augers well for Trump and his MAGA Republicans in the upcoming midterm elections. Most analysts are now predicting that Democrats will likely end up with majorities in both the House and the Senate. In other words, Trump’s taxation may result in better representation. And if that happens, Trump and his MAGA comrades will be facing political and legal accountability in – as Trump would say – levels they have never seen before.

Trump Crowns JD Vance as His ‘Fraud Czar’ So He Doesn’t Have to Commit All the Fraud By Himself

Posted by on April 3, 2026 at 2:25 pm. 0 Comments :

The workload of the American president is an arduous burden that would tax the stamina of anyone. So it must be particularly grueling for someone like Donald Trump, a 79 year old who is morbidly obese, doesn’t believe in exercise, and consumes mostly fast food and diet soda. The only physical activity Trump gets is walking to and from the buffet at Mar-a-Lago, and “dancing” to the Village People’s “YMCA.”

Trump in Bed, Eating, Sad

Trump’s physical and mental well being have long been a subject of concern. And it is never more worrisome than when he is caught on video sleeping through his own criminal trials and repeatedly falling asleep during his Cabinet meetings that consist almost entirely of his doting toadies lavishing him with adoration and near messianic praise? That must be exhausting.

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

Consequently, it is not surprising that Trump is now delegating one of his most important tasks to his vice president, JD Vance. In a comment posted to his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, Trump decreed that…

“Vice President JD Vance is now in charge of ‘FRAUD’ in the United States. It is massive and pervasive, and the job he will be doing, in conjunction with many great people within the Trump Administration, will be a major factor in how great the future of our Country will be.”

So Vance will now be taking over for Trump and will be “in charge of ‘FRAUD.'” Following in the footsteps of Trump, Vance surely has some big (clown) shoes to fill. After all, who knows fraud better than Trump? He has 34 felony fraud convictions to his name. And those are only the ones that he didn’t manage to avoid by being reelected and having his Supreme Court flunkies grant him conditional immunity. But Trump was just getting started. He continued…

“We will call him the ‘FRAUD CZAR,’ and his focus will be ‘EVERYWHERE,’ but primarily in those Blue States where CROOKED DEMOCRAT POLITICIANS, like those in California, Illinois, Minnesota (Somalia beware!), Maine, New York, and many others, have had a ‘free for all’ in the unprecedented theft of Taxpayer Money.”

Who could have predicted that Trump would focus his fraud probes on blue states? Never mind that there is zero evidence to support his claim that there is more fraud among Democrats than Republicans. To the contrary, the CATO Institute found that it is Republican led states that dominate the top rankings of their public corruption study. Trump then closed with this preposterous claim…

“The numbers are so large that, if successful, we would literally be able to balance our American Budget. Raids have already started in L.A. Good Luck JD!”

Trump has promised to balance the budget many times. He said that tariffs would do it. Or oil stolen from Venezuela. Or Elon Musk’s “DOGE” cuts to the federal bureaucracy. None of those even decreased the deficit, much less eliminated it. The current budget deficit is about $2 trillion. Which is almost exactly the increase in Trump’s most recent budget proposal. That proposal includes $1.5 trillion for Trump’s Department of “War.” So Trump thinks that his “Fraud Czar” will find more fraud than the entire Defense Department funding request.

Since Trump brought up the state of California for special attention, let’s see what Gov. Gavin Newsom had to say about Trump’s baseless charges.

Unlike Trump, Newsom delivered some actual facts to support his arguments. He linked to a “Stop Fraud“ website that went into detail, revealing that…

“California is leading the nation in preventing fraud, waste, and abuse — protecting billions of dollars meant for families, students, seniors, and communities [And that] Trump is the King of Fraud — pardoning criminals and promoting self-dealing corruption.”

With Vance taking over the Fraud Czar duties, poor, old, Dozy Don will be able get some more much needed rest. Because he is not the superman that the Trump cult believes him to be. Although they will keep trying to pitch him as that. For example, here is what his now fired Attorney General, Pam Bondi, said about him…

OH-NO! Fox News is OUTRAGED that Congress is Too Inept to Pass Trump’s Wildly Unpopular Agenda

Posted by on April 1, 2026 at 2:43 pm. 0 Comments :

Serving as the Ministry of Propaganda for Donald Trump and his MAGA Cult has got to be an awfully difficult duty these days. That’s the mission that Fox News is struggling to perform as the nation grows ever more repulsed by Trump and his anti-American crusade to transform the United States into a totalitarian dictatorship whose sole purpose is to elevate the power and wealth of Dear Leader Trump.

Donald Trump baby with Fox News logo

Trump’s second occupation of the White House has produced nothing but misery for the American people, and chaos for the world. He has wrecked the economy with his inflationary tariffs. He has brought violence to the streets of the nation with his ICE StormTrumpers. He has started an illegal war against Iran on flagrantly false premises. And in the meantime, he has dedicated himself to building vanity ballrooms, plastering his name and face on U.S. institutions and silly merchandise, and wasting hundreds of millions of dollars on petty pastimes like golf and watching MAGA media. Consequently, his approval ratings have been circling the toilet…

SEE THIS: Fox News Poll Spells DOOM for Trump and His MAGA Republicans in Congress

So what is an ultra partisan propaganda purveyor like Fox News to do under these circumstances? To no one’s surprise they double down on the preposterous positions they have been pushing for years. Unfortunately for them, it doesn’t have the same impact when the lies are aimed at fostering a floundering loser who is incapable of forming a coherent thought.

On Wednesday’s episode of Fox’s morning show “Outnumbered,” co-host Kaylee McGhee White sought to prop up Trump by shifting the blame for his failures onto Congress. In a segment discussing a recent Supreme Court ruling that Trump could not continue to build his golden ballroom without the approval of Congress, White whined that…

“The judge emphasized congressional authority. But as a reminder, Congress can’t even pass DHS funding. Congress can’t pass the Save America Act.”

Exactly! White is helpfully confirming that Congress, as it is presently constituted, is incompetent and utterly incapable of performing its designated legislative duties. Under the stewardship of House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate GOP leader John Thune, they are the least productive Congress in decades. And they are currently in the midst of a partial shutdown because they can’t pass legislation to fulfill their most basic function, to keep the government open.

What White and her Fox News comrades fail to mention is that this pathetic excuse for a legislative body is wholly run by a Republican majority. So the failures that Fox News is amplifying are entirely due to the inept management of the Republican Party and its Dear Leader Trump.

For his part, Trump is proving that there is no bottom to how low his approval ratings can go. Even a recent Fox News poll found that “nearly two-thirds, 64%, are dissatisfied [and] that’s the highest dissatisfaction rating of President Trump’s second term.” He was additionally found to be deeply underwater on virtually every issue, including the economy, inflation, healthcare, foreign policy, and immigration.

No wonder Fox News is trying to deflect responsibility from Trump to anything else. It’s just too bad that they are such bumbling buttkissers that they can’t make a rational argument to absolve their messiah of the guilt he so richly deserves. But if they want to blame Congress, fine. The American people will have something to say about that in November.
