GRIFTER-IN-CHIEF: Trump Lauds the Agency He Corrupted that Regulates His Own Family Crypto Scams

Posted by on May 27, 2026 at 2:34 pm. 3 Comments :

The fortune that Donald Trump has made since reoccupying the White House dwarfs that of many third world nations. He has amassed billions of dollars by opening channels through which conflicted donors, greedy corporations, and nefarious foreign operatives, could funnel funds directly – and secretly – into his pockets.

Trump Baby on Cash Pile

High the list of the money laundering enterprises that Trump developed is the Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG) that runs his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social. That business has wandered off into a variety of totally unrelated activities such as cryptocurrency, mutual funds, gambling, artificial intelligence, and nuclear fusion. None of which have helped it to avoid becoming a pitiful financial fiasco that has lost investors billions of dollars.

Nevertheless, Trump has successfully managed these failures in a way that still nets him a fortune. Part of the reason for that success is that Trump has gamed the system to always provide profitable benefits for him. And true to form, Trump makes sure to thank himself for his illicit largesse, as he did Wednesday morning in a Truth Social post. He wrote in part that…

“It is critically important that the CFTC’s exclusive authority over Prediction Markets is maintained, and that they will thrive. Under my leadership, we are setting ‘rules of the road’ that are the Gold Standard for the States. We cannot have SCUM like Chris Christie, Letitia James, Tim Walz, and JB Pritzker setting the rules!”

That’s right! You can only have SCUM like Trump, his family, and accomplices, setting those rules. Despite the fitting acronym, the CFTC is not the Commission For Trump Corruption. It is the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, which is responsible for regulating financial transactions in the commodities markets, as well as for cryptocurrency and prediction markets.

The latter two just happen to be ventures that the Trump family is heavily engaged in. Under normal circumstances there would be legal and ethical guardrails prohibiting a president and his family from having such unsavory business associations. But there is nothing normal about Trump and his family. So naturally he is exploiting those industries to his advantage. And he is likely reacting to recent news about his criminal tendencies. As reported by the New York Times…

How Prediction Markets and Crypto Firms Steamrolled a Watchdog Agency (May 24, 2026):
“The Commodity Futures Trading Commission purged its ranks, dialed back its enforcement and boosted industries in which President Trump’s family is heavily invested.”

“(T)the CFTC, the primary regulator of a specialized sector of the financial markets, has been mowed down by the powerful business interests it is supposed to oversee, a New York Times investigation found.

In the past 16 months of the Trump administration, the commission has shrunk its work force, purged career officials, sharply curtailed crypto enforcement and helped out prediction markets at virtually every turn, The Times found. […]

“The gutting of the agency is particularly notable because of the Trump family’s deep ties to the crypto and prediction industries.”

Like so many other government agencies during the Trump regime, Trump and his cronies have fired the career professionals at the CFTC and replaced them with Trump cult loyalists. This has been the case at the “Justice” Department, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the Department of Health and Human Services, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and many more, including that Offices of Inspectors General across all agencies.

Trump has presided over a dismantling of the systems that prevent corruption by government crooks. And he did it with the intention of blazing a trail for new wealth for himself and his billionaire pals. Unfortunately for the rest of the nation, it appears to be the one thing that he is actually any good at.

How DUMB is Trump? He Just Admitted His Followers Want to ‘WHACK’ Hecklers at His Cult Rallies

Posted by on May 23, 2026 at 4:13 pm. 0 Comments :

The mind-numbing idiocy of Donald Trump never ceases to astonish the long-suffering American people who can’t believe how deeply his ignorance descends into an abyss of abject blather. Even after bragging that he has “aced” multiple psyche tests (that measure cognitive decline, not IQ), Trump still exhibits troubling signs of mental impairment.

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

Donald Trump, Mocking Disability

Mental health professionals have weighed in on Trump’s evolving dementia in thoroughly researched and documented studies, such as the book “The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 37 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President.” Making matters worse is that Trump insists on displaying his emotional deficiencies in the most public ways possible.

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

Continuing that trend, Trump spoke at a political rally Friday in support of a MAGA Republican congressional candidate in New York. And he was in top form for spreading his foolishness far and wide. Among the critical issues that face the nation – war in Iran, inflation, healthcare, etc. – what Trump chose to focus on was his extraordinary ability to craft insulting nicknames for his political enemies. Attacking the Democratic Leader in the House of Representatives, Hakeem Jeffries, Trump babbled that…

“He’s a dumb guy. I said, ‘Wait a minute. He’s a dumocrat.’ That’s how I got the name. You take the E out. You don’t use the B. A lot of people don’t know dumb has a B in it actually. You don’t need it…They are dumocrats. You know why? Because their policies are dumb.”

WOW! What an incredibly brilliant play on words – for a seven year old. And whenever Trump refers to what “a lot of people don’t know,” he really just means himself and the MAGA-tists who worship him. Even seven year olds know that “dumb” has a B in it.

A little later in the same speech, Trump was heckled by someone in the audience. His comebacks in these situations are never particularly effective. But this time he ventured farther out on the limb of incoherence than usual. He whined about the risks of exercising freedom speech at a Trump cult rally…

“I tell people ‘Please don’t do it, it’s dangerous.’ To do it in this crowd is not a good thing…I like things that aren’t dangerous. I don’t like to see people get whacked. I don’t like it. So don’t do it.”

Trump just warned people not to heckle him at his rallies or his supporters will kill them.Let that sink in. He didn't tell his supporters not to kill people. He told his critics to shut up.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-05-23T09:52:10.055Z

Let that sink in. Trump is admitting that his followers are prone to violence, and that they might actually kill you if you express an opinion different than their Dear Leader.

This is the rhetoric that Trump is embracing while he and his MAGA-tists complain about the hostile tone in politics that they pretend to believe must stop. But unlike the phrase “8647” (which means simply to remove or prohibit someone from a particular place), to “whack” can literally mean to murder, in the Mafioso lingo that Trump likes. And notice that Trump doesn’t tell his followers not to kill people who criticize him. Instead, he tells his critics to shut up or risk getting whacked.

Clearly, Trump cannot handle criticism. His massive ego is far too fragile to tolerate it. Even in his telling of this tale about hecklers, Trump said that in the past “Guys would start screaming ‘We hate you, sir.'” Really? They called him “sir” while expressing their hatred? With absurdities like that, there is really only one way to describe Trump’s behavior. And that is to say that it’s dumb, with B. Coming from the leader of the Dumpublican Party.

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

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

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

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

Donald Trump Messiah

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Donald Trump, Woman, Fear

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Trump Romances Xi Jinping and Brags (Lies) that China is Winning the Fast Food War in America

Posted by on May 14, 2026 at 1:27 pm. 0 Comments :

This week Donald Trump took valuable time away from his highest priority presidential duties of golfing, planning his vanity ballroom, indicting Democrats, insulting the free press, and watching Fox News, to visit his authoritarian pal, Xi Jinping, in China.

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

Donald Trump and Xi Jinping

That’s right. Trump boarded Air Force One with his son Eric, Eric’s wife, Lara, Stephen Miller, and a horde of billionaire tech company honchos, to engage with the leader of one of America’s most daunting foes. The American people will be comforted to know that Trump is doing more than posting endless deranged comments on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social.

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

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

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

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

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-05-14T09:34:09.664Z

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

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

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

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-05-14T16:51:00.966Z

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.”

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

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.”

MORE HERE: Exoneration? Collusion? Obstruction? Trump’s Fate is Sealed By 3 Brief Exchanges with Mueller

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. 2 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.”

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…

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"

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
