Trump’s Propaganda Secretary Admits Trump Wants to Deploy Troops Only to ‘Democrat-Run’ Cities

Posted by on September 9, 2025 at 1:05 pm. 0 Comments :

For several weeks now Donald Trump has been deploying military troops to American cities on a mission that he says is to reduce crime. Never mind that each of the cities that he has already invaded have had declining crime rates before his deployments. And set aside the fact that it is illegal to use U.S. troops against American citizens.

Donald Trump and Karoline Leavitt

It has been impossible not to notice that every city that Trump has designated as a destination for his army assignments – Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., Chicago, New York, Baltimore – all just happen to have Black mayors who are Democrats. What a crazy coincidence, huh?

SEE THIS: Trump Threatens to Send His StormTrumpers to N.Y., L.A., and Chicago, Where Crime is Declining

Now Trump’s Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, is shedding some light on how Trump chose the cities that he is sending soldiers to. Responding to a question at Tuesday’s White House press briefing about Trump’s domestic military mission and who is being targeted, Leavitt said that…

“These are the career criminals, the bad guys that we are picking up in Washington DC every day. The president would love to do this in every Democrat-run city across the country. And he hopes that more Democrats will call the White House to allow us to help them.”

Leavitt: "These are the bad guys that we are picking up in Washington DC every day. The president would love to do this in every Democrat-run city across the country."

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-09-09T17:50:58.958Z

There’s a lot of bullpucky to unpack in that brief sound bite. For starters, Leavitt is lying that the people being detained and disappeared are “career criminals.” In fact, as many as 70% have no criminal records at all according to the Trump administration’s own data. Many are citizens or green card holders. And most were denied the due process that is guaranteed by the Constitution.

What’s more, it is peculiar that Leavitt says that they are picking up “bad guys” in D.C. every day, when Trump has been saying that he has cut crime 100%. In other words, according to Trump, there is no crime at all in D.C. anymore. So who are they arresting?

THEY JUST CAN'T STOP LYING!Trump's Attorney Genuflect, Pam Bondi, keeps posting these memes every day boasting about dozens of arrests in Washington, D.C., even though Trump says that there is ZERO crime there.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-09-08T17:28:41.536Z

Finally, Leavitt lets on that Trump is actually only interested in occupying cities with Democratic leaders. As noted above, her admission that “The president would love to do this in every Democrat-run city” has been obvious. But now she is confirming that it is the official policy of the Trump administration. Why wouldn’t Trump “love” to do this in any of the cities with the most violent crime in red states? Doesn’t he care about the people in Tennessee, Missouri, Louisiana, or Arkansas? Or is he just laser-focused on going to war with Chicago…

WTHF? Trump is declaring war on…CHICAGO?He posted this on his Truth(less) (Anti)Social today.

Trump’s Own Attorney General, Pam Bondi, Contradicts His Lie that ‘Crime is Down 100%’ in D.C.

Posted by on September 4, 2025 at 1:11 pm. 0 Comments :

Ever since Donald Trump launched his totalitarian military troop deployments to police American citizens in their homes, he has spread flagrant lies about the “success” he’s had in utterly eradicating crime. Never mind that the actual data fails to support his delusional reports, and that crime had already dropped to multiyear lows before he began.

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

Fox News, Pam Bondi

Accurate statistics are anathema to aspiring dictators like Trump who rely on manufacturing fear to keep their faithful cult followers in line. And Trump hasn’t been shy about disseminating lies that cities like Washington, D.C., and Chicago, and New York, and Baltimore, and Los Angeles, are, in Trump’s words “hellholes.”, Also, they all happen to have Black mayors. But it’s surely just a coincidence that he cherry-picked those cities, right?

SEE THIS: Trump Threatens to Send His StormTrumpers to N.Y., L.A., and Chicago, Where Crime is Declining

On Thursday Trump expanded on his bullshittery saying that crime in Washington, D.C. had declined 100%. That means that it dropped to zero. At least he didn’t go farther and say it dropped 1,500% like he has with drug prices. But even this statement is preposterous. Along with false assertions that “restaurants were dying. [And] Nobody wanted to go out,” Trump said that…

“If you look at Washington D.C. three weeks ago, it was the same or worse, and now it is considered a totally safe zone. […] Washington D.C. is a totally safe city. You are not reporting any crime because there is none. They said crime is down 87%. Then I said ‘no it’s not. It’s down 100%.'”

Trump: “Washington, DC, is a totally safe city. You're not reporting any crime because there is none. They said crime is down 87%, and I said, No, it's not, it's down 100%.”

— The Bulwark (@thebulwark.com) 2025-09-03T16:26:59.280Z

A city would have to have transformed into a fairytale utopia to have eliminated all crime. And no such city exists anywhere but in Trump’s twisted imagination. Well, also in the servile imaginations of Trump’s flunkies. For instance, his Attorney Genuflect, Pam Bondi, posted the following meme on Thursday…

Bondi posts a similar meme every day. And she also appears on Fox News almost daily with the same message. Which raises the obvious question: How can there be dozens of arrests every day in a city where Trumps insists there is zero crime? Are they arresting people who are innocent? Are they prosecuting thought crimes? Whatever the explanation, Bondi is contradicting her boss by bragging about all the criminals she has taken off of the streets that he says aren’t there.

For good measure, Trump’s U.S. Attorney for D. C., Jeanine Pirro, is boasting about the same criminal statistics as Bondi.

What’s more, Pirro, who hasn’t practiced law for twenty years, and who Trump recruited from Fox News (like his Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth, and a couple of dozen others in his administration), is racking up an abysmal record as U.S. Attorney. So far she failed to get a Grand Jury indictment in a case against a woman who allegedly threatened Trump. She also failed to get an indictment of a man who was arrested for throwing a sandwich at an ICE agent. Even though it was on video. So much for the old saying about how easy it is to get a Grand Jury indictment because they will indict a ham sandwich.

With Bondi and Pirro daily announcing the crimes they have allegedly stopped, will Trump apologize and admit that he hasn’t totally eliminated crime in D.C. Sure. Right after he apologizes for sexually abusing E. Jean Carroll and many other women, And right after he admits that he lost the election in 2020. And right after he actually criticizes his BFF Vladimir Putin. In short, right after he develops a conscience and grows a spine. And here’s a health tip: Don’t hold your breath.

Nancy Mace Says Trump Was an FBI Informant. So He Flipped on Epstein to Save Himself?

Posted by on September 3, 2025 at 1:41 pm. 0 Comments :

For several weeks the top story in the news has been how Donald Trump and the MAGA GOP have refused to release the Jeffrey Epstein files that are in the custody of the Justice Department. And for several weeks Trump has whined that it is an irrelevant subject that should be ignored in favor of the glassy-eyed praise that he believes he is due for merely existing.

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

Donald Trump, Woman, Fear

In the midst of this controversy, some of Epstein’s victims held a press conference in Washington on Wednesday to advocate for the release of the files, and accountability for the predators who patronized him and the politicians who continue to protect him. And still, Trump can’t understand why the media isn’t fixated on his divine magnificence.

SEE THIS: The King of Conspiracy Theories Whines that Democrats Don’t Talk Enough About How Awesome He Is

One of the pro-Trump pols who is a longtime member of the Trump Cult, Nancy Mace, was observed on Tuesday leaving a closed-door session on Capitol Hill, during which some members of the House Oversight Committee heard testimony from Epstein’s victims. Mace reportedly had tears in her eyes and later posted a comment on Twitter/X saying that…

“As a recent survivor (not 2 years in), I had a very difficult time listening to their stories. Full blown panic attack. Sweating. Hyperventilating. Shaking. I can’t breathe. I feel the immense pain of how hard all victims are fighting for themselves because we know absolutely no one will fight for us.”

That’s seems like a heartfelt reaction by someone who has suffered a similar abusive experience. The problem is that Mace is still an apologist for the vile sex offender Trump, who she believes to be as pure as the Virgin Mary. With regard to Trump and Epstein, she told reporters that…

“Donald Trump is the one who banned Jeffrey Epstein from Mar-a-Lago. He was an FBI informant, and he talked to the feds to get this guy turned over. So Donald Trump is a hero in this.”

WHUT? Nancy Mace says Trump was "an FBI informant"?That would mean that Trump had incriminating info about Epstein. Which sounds like he was Epstein's partner or client and "talked to the feds" to avoid prosecution. He's no hero. If he were, he'd have released those files long ago.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-09-03T08:52:43.300Z

A “hero”? That would be like calling Salvatore “Sammy the Bull” Gravano, who committed at least 19 murders, a hero for turning state’s evidence against his boss, Mafia kingpin John Gotti. What Mace is saying is that Trump offered to tell the feds what he knew about Epstein. But how would Trump know things about Epstein that would incriminate him if he wasn’t involved in some way?

Mace is introducing the possibility that Trump turned state’s evidence against Epstein in order to save himself. Which sounds like he could have been Epstein’s partner or client and “talked to the feds” to avoid prosecution. He’s no hero. If he were, he’d have released those files long ago so that he could bask in the glory of his heroics.

Meanwhile, as Epstein’s victims were speaking out, Trump was calling them liars who are part of a hoax. And he exalted himself with his totally fake “Seven Wars Hoax,” that he claims are conflicts that he prevented or ended, but which he generally brings up when he needs to change the subject.

DISGUSTING!As Epstein's victims are speaking out, Trump is calling them liars who are part of a hoax. And he's exalting himself with his totally fake "Seven Wars Hoax" in order to change the subject.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-09-03T17:18:39.337Z

The Epstein affair has had a surprising impact on Trump and his MAGA movement. So many other scandals faded away rather quickly, including his sexual abuse of writer E. Jean Carroll, his half billion dollar judgment for financial fraud, his unsavory relations with Vladimir Putin and other Russian operatives; his Stalinist attacks on his political foes, and so much more.

The Epstein matter, however, hangs on week after week. And it is having a noticeable effect on his MAGA base. Even stalwart Trumpists like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie are uniting with Democrats to make the files public, in defiance of Trump’s demands to stand down. And now, Nancy Mace has inadvertently exposed another potential Trump vulnerability.

Will the Epstein files reveal whether Trump was, in fact, an FBI informant? Did he have personal knowledge of Epstein’s criminal activities? Did he participate in them? We’ll just have to wait and see. Which makes it all the more imperative to make those files public ASAP.

UPDATE: GOP House Speaker, MAGA Mike Johnson, has joined Mace making the preposterous assertion that Trump was an FBI informant in the probe of Epstein. Both are saying this without a shred of evidence. Both are ignoring that Trump would have to have some knowledge of Epstein’s crimes in order to be an informant. And if it were true, it would be in the files that Trump is so feverishly trying to keep secret.

HOLY SHIH TZU! A couple of days ago, MAGA Rep. Nancy Mace said that Trump was an FBI informant. Which means he had to know about Epstein's crimes. And it would be in the files that he is trying to keep secret. #TrumpEpsteinFilesMORE HERE: www.newscorpse.com/ncWP/?p=67342

MAGA Rep Believes that Convicted Sex Trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell’s Interview Exonerates Trump

Posted by on August 24, 2025 at 1:28 pm. 1 Comments :

The coordinated effort by the Cult of Donald Trump to deflect attention away from his unsavory relationship with Jeffrey Epstein has not been been going very well. Part of the reason for that is that they keep bringing it up again themselves. They seem to have an undeniable compulsion to yammer on about it regardless of how badly it reflects on their Herr Trump.

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

Jim Jordan

In an interview on Fox News, Ultra-MAGA GOP representative, Jim Jordan, entertained the ongoing scandal with a perspective that is utterly despicable and riddled with lies. Although it is also a perspective that is common among the MAGA faithful who revere Trump and can’t imagine that he would ever do anything untoward. Including affiliating himself positively with the most salacious and despicable cretins.

SEE THIS: Newsmax Host is ‘Impressed’ By Trump for Standing by ‘Innocent’ Pedophile Ghislaine Maxwell

The Jordan interview was rife with the sort of adoration afforded to aspiring messiahs. He insisted that he knew that “Trump didn’t do anything wrong here […] based on what we got from the interview of Ms. Maxwell.” And what better witness testimony can you get than that of a convicted sex offender who is hoping to get a pardon? Jordan went on to hail what Ghislaine Maxwell told Deputy Attorney General, Todd Blanche, in a staged interview last week…

“They didn’t release parts of the transcript. They released the whole transcript. You can go through the whole thing And of course, this confirms what we all knew. If the president had done something wrong, you don’t think the Democrats would have released that? It was their Justice Department that handled all this. You don’t think the [former Attorney General Merrick] Garland Justice Department, or the Chris Wray FBI, would have released everything?”

Jordan on Ghislaine Maxwell Transcript: This confirms what we all knew: President Trump didn’t do anything wrong. This transcript confirms that. There’s nothing there based on this interview with Maxwell.

— Acyn (@acyn.bsky.social) 2025-08-24T00:17:23.360Z

Well then, that settles it. Epstein’s partner in crime says that Trump is as innocent as a child, which may not be the best metaphor in this case. Never mind that this interview was with Trump’s personal attorney who is now a top Justice Department official, or that Maxwell has a motive to lie given her desperation for a pardon or commutation from Trump.

So naturally, Maxwell wasn’t going to say anything that might jeopardize her hopes for getting out of prison, even the cushy Club Fed that Trump already moved her into. Instead, she told Blanche that “I never witnessed the president in any inappropriate setting in any way.” Which raises the question: What does a convicted pervert consider inappropriate?

What’s more, if Maxwell were to incriminate Trump, she wold also be incriminating herself. If she admitted that she witnessed Trump engaging in any unlawful acts, she would also be admitting that she witnessed those acts. No one expected her to confess such things in the interview with Blanche.

Furthermore, Jordan’s claims that this all occurred during the Democratic administration is a flagrant lie. Epstein was arrested in July of 2019. Maxwell was arrested a year later. Both were during Trump’s first occupation of the White House. And Jordan is projecting the legal malfeasance of the Republican Party onto Democrats by suggesting that Democrats would have released confidential evidence, just because that’s what Republicans would do.

Jordan, however, is more than satisfied with Maxwell’s assertions that Trump is innocent. He is willing to believe the testimony of a known perjurer if it exonerates his Dear Leader. Or more likely, he knows that she’s lying, but her lies align with his political aims, so he endorses them. Which is to be expected from someone who himself has been credibly accused of allowing sexual abuse to go on while he was an Ohio State University wrestling coach.

It is also notable that Fox News didn’t challenge anything that Jordan said. Why would they? They previously made the very same endorsements of the claims in Maxwell’s interview…

No one who is really interested in the truth was expecting any to be revealed in these interview transcripts. They are waiting for all of the files held by the Justice Department to be released. Which the Trump regime is still refusing to do. In the meantime, that creates the opportunity for liars like Jordan, and Attorney Genuflect Pam Bondi, and FBI Deflecter Kash Patel, and Trump himself, to continue their deception.

Unfortunately for them, the truth will eventually come out, and they will be forced to manufacture new scandals to divert attention from it. And political weasels like Jordan will jump aboard and embrace the new lies with vigor. It’s what they do.

Trump Threatens to Send His StormTrumpers to N.Y., L.A., and Chicago, Where Crime is Declining

Posted by on August 22, 2025 at 2:29 pm. 0 Comments :

The burdens that fall upon aspiring dictators like Donald Trump are difficult to comprehend for mere proponents of democracy and freedom. They are constantly faced with treacherous choices involving maintaining their power and suppressing their unwilling subjects.

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

Donald Trump

In the wake of Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops in the nation’s capital, he is now contemplating how he will deal with any other American city that he has deemed unfit for occupation by decent folks, by which he means white, Christian, MAGA devotees. Those are the cities that Trump complains are run by the “radical left lunatics” of the Democratic party.

SEE THIS: Trump’s ‘Weaponization Working Group’ Lives Down to Its Name with Threats to Persecute Democrats

In a post to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, Trump threatened to send troops to New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago, to do what he has already done in Washington, D.C. Which is to create a police-state environment and harass its residents and visitors.

Trump’s justification for invading these cities is his assertion that they are crime-ridden swamps where everyone is too frightened to leave their homes. Never mind that the evidence for that is nonexistent. To the contrary, crime in D.C. has been declining in recent years. Despite that, Trump posted a comment taking credit for that decline, and threatening local officials who fail to obey his authority…

“Washington, D.C. is SAFE AGAIN! The crowds are coming back, the spirit is high. […] As bad as it sounds to say, there were no murders this week for the first time in memory. Mayor Muriel Bowser must immediately stop giving false and highly inaccurate crime figures, or bad things will happen, including a complete and total Federal takeover of the City!”

That, however, was just an appetizer for Trump’s hunger for domination. He later told reporters that…

“To me, DC is very exciting. And a lot of people say, where is he going from there? Well, I have calls from politicians begging me to go to Chicago, begging me to go to New York, begging me to go to Los Angeles.”

Trump: "To me, DC is very exciting. And a lot of people say, where is he going from there? Well, I have calls from politicians begging me to go to Chicago, begging me to go to New York, begging me to go to Los Angeles … "

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-08-22T14:32:35.587Z

Yeah, sure. According to Trump, big strong men, with tears in their eyes, are begging for him to come to their rescue. Trump went on to lie about how he allegedly saved Los Angeles, and that everyone was “fudging the numbers” about crime having gone down in D.C.

Once again, it’s Trump’s numbers that are pure fiction. He says that people are going out to eat now for the first time in years. But the data from the restaurants in D.C. shows that dining has dropped as much as 31% since Trump sent in his troops.

The same is true more broadly for all crimes in the cities that Trump is now considering to occupy. Trump’s boasting that “there were no murders this week for the first time in memory,” is more evidence of either his severely flawed memory, or his flagrant dishonesty. And the brief pause in crime is much less impressive when you know that that happens all the time. For instance…

[Note: The following is sourced to ChatGPT and may not reflect some recent data due to delays in municipal crime reporting procedures and the peculiarities of AI. But the trends are likely to be pretty accurate over the long run]

Washington, D.C.: The most recent homicide was on August 5, eighteen days ago. The one before that was July 4, a month prior to the last one. In the first six months of 2025, the homicide rate declined by 19% compared to Jan-June 2024.

Chicago: The most recent homicide was on August 14, nine days ago. The one before that was July 2, more than a month prior to the last one. The overall homicide trend in Chicago is down, with last year’s total being the lowest since 2019.

New York: The most recent homicide was on August 17, six days ago. The one before that was July 28, about three weeks prior to the last one. From January 1 through May 31, the city saw just 112 homicides, the lowest number on record for that period.

Los Angeles: The most recent homicide was on August 16, seven days ago. The one before that was July 10, more than a month prior to the last one. The city is on pace for its lowest yearly total in nearly 60 years.

Given the reality that crime is being well managed in America’s biggest cities, Trump’s hankering for a fascist takeover is hardly justified. It is just another attempt on his part to impose his tyrannical will on a nation that is deeply opposed to him and his anti-democratic policies. A recent Pew Research poll puts his approval at a dismal 38%, with 60% disapproval.

With his still unresolved connections to child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, his failure to make any progress with Vladimir Putin in ending Russia’s war against Ukraine, and his incompetent economic agenda causing cost of living to increase, no wonder Trump is trying to focus the nation’s attention on some other atrocity for a while. It aint gonna work.

Trump’s Press Secretary Lies to Fox News About the Now Nonexistent Epstein Client List

Posted by on July 7, 2025 at 1:44 pm. 0 Comments :

The 2024 presidential campaign of Donald Trump was a cornucopia of conspiracy theories. Prominent among them were the allegations related to convicted sex trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein, and a reputed “client list” containing the names of people who allegedly participated in his criminal pedophilia parties.

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

Donald Trump and Karoline Leavitt

The mysterious list was said to include Trump, who was known to have been a longtime friend of Epstein, and had been a passenger on his private jet, the “Lolita Express.” “I’ve known Jeff for 15 years,” Trump told New York Magazine in 2002. “Terrific guy. He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.” This is consistent with the behavior of Trump, who was found liable in a civil lawsuit for sexually abusing writer E. Jean Carroll.

SEE THIS: Ted Lieu Reads Federal Judge’s Confirmation that Trump is a Rapist Into Congressional Record

The Epstein client list reentered the news cycle on Monday morning when Trump’s Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, responded to a question from Fox News White House correspondent, Peter Doocy…

Doocy: The FBI looked at the circumstances surrounding the death of Jeffrey Epstein. According to the report, ‘this systematic review reveals no incriminating client list.’ So, what happened to the Epstein client list that the Attorney General said she had on her desk?”
Leavitt: I think if you go back and look at what the Attorney General said in that interview, which was on your network — on Fox News…
Doocy: I’ve got the quote. John Roberts said, ‘DOJ may be releasing a list of Jeffrey Epstein’s clients. Will that really happen?’ And she said, ‘it’s sitting on my desk right now to review.’ Why?
Leavitt: She was saying the entirety of all of the paperwork — all of the paper in relation to Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes – that’s what the Attorney General was referring to, and I will let her speak for that. But when it comes to the FBI and the Department of Justice, they are more than committed to ensuring that bad people are put behind bars.

DOOCY: The report says there's no Epstein client list. So what happened to the Epstein client list that the attorney general said she had on desk?LEAVITT: She was saying the entirety of all the paperwork was on her desk

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-07-07T17:44:09.501Z

The report that Doocy was referring to was from Axios, who published an article revealing that the current heads of Trump’s Justice Department regime – Pam Bondi (Attorney General), Kash Patel (FBI director), and Dan Bongino (FBI deputy director) – are now denying that any Epstein client list ever existed. According to Axios…

“Trump’s Justice Department and FBI have concluded they have no evidence that convicted sex offender and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein blackmailed powerful figures, kept a ‘client list’ or was murdered, according to a memo detailing the findings obtained by Axios.”

That’s a peculiar conclusion considering that Bondi had explicitly said that she had the actual list on her desk and was reviewing it. Doocy pointed that out to Leavitt, who abruptly switched into reality distortion mode to claim that Bondi was referring to “the entirety of all of the paperwork [on] Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes.” Which was clearly not what she was referring to. For reference, here is the video of Bondi on Fox News in February, and her exchange with Roberts saying…

Roberts: DoJ may be releasing the list of Jeffrey Epstein’s clients? Will that really happen?
Bondi: It’s sitting on my desk right now to review. That’s been a directive by president Trump.

Trump's AG, Pam Bondi, needs to explain how the Epstein client list was on her desk in February, and she was reviewing it "at the directive of the president," but now says that it doesn't exist.Where did it go, Pam? Did Trump, for some reason, direct you to make it disappear?

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-07-07T16:15:36.697Z

The media needs to hold both Leavitt and Bondi accountable for their statements. Leavitt needs to explain why she lied about what Bondi said about having the list on her desk. Bondi needs to explain how the list was on her desk in February, but now says that it doesn’t exist. And Trump needs to explain why his prior promises to release everything about his friend Epstein have gone unfulfilled.

Trump cannot complain that the “Deep State” is suppressing the truth. All of his own appointees are in the positions responsible for releasing all of the information. So who is he trying to protect? You get one guess.

TACO Trump Tries to Blame Biden for the Boulder Terrorist Attack that Happened on His Watch

Posted by on June 2, 2025 at 12:37 pm. 1 Comments :

This weekend there was another act of domestic terrorism in America – this time in Boulder, Colorado – committed by an anti-Semitic extremist purporting to be a supporter of Palestinians. Although, nothing could be more destructive of Palestinian interests than a terrorist who seems to support the hostage taking by Hamas that the victims in Boulder were protesting.

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

Joe Biden, Donald Trump

Many concerned Americans from across the political spectrum condemned the attack in its immediate aftermath. But Donald Trump, too chicken to address the matter, said nothing about it until the next day. Presumably he was too busy to even express any sympathy for the victims because that would have have interrupted the golf game he was engaged in at the time. Not to mention his other pressing duties as president…

SEE THIS: WHO’S DERANGED? Trump on Biden Clones, Transgender Mice, Autopens, and His Own Mental Anguish

On Monday, when Trump finally had time to make a statement about the crime, he unleashed a typically Trumpian load of bile. And naturally, he sought to cast blame on his political foes for a tragic event that occurred on his watch. He posted a comment exhibiting his callous self-interest to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, saying that…

“Yesterday’s horrific attack in Boulder, Colorado, WILL NOT BE TOLERATED in the United States of America. He came in through Biden’s ridiculous Open Border Policy, which has hurt our Country so badly. He must go out under ‘TRUMP’ Policy.”

Most notable in Trump’s response is his desperate effort to cast blame on former President Joe Biden. He resorts to that defamation even before showing any concern for the plight of those who were hurt. And true to form, Trump flagrantly lied about the suspect, Mohamed Sabry Soliman. Trump implies that he was an illegal immigrant by asserting that he entered the U.S. through “Biden’s ridiculous Open Border Policy” an asinine phrase that Trump only uses with regard to illegal immigration. But Soliman is an Egyptian who entered the U.S. legally. And when his visa expired he applied for and received a valid work permit.

However, none of that matters to Trump, whose only interest is maligning his perceived enemies and absolving himself of any responsibility. The untouchable Mr. Trump always insists that he knows nothing about anything in order to distance himself from whatever horrendous affair he’s hoping to avoid an association with, or is too cowardly or ignorant to face. The problem for Trump is that his own team of White House liars sometimes inadvertently contradict him. For instance…

Trump’s own official Rapid Response team posted a timeline for Soliman’s immigration status that shows that he was a legal immigrant with a valid work permit during the Biden administration. It wasn’t until March of 2025, during Trump’s term, that the permit expired. So it was Trump who allowed him to stay in the U.S. to commit an act of terrorism.

Trump has repeatedly said that he would focus his ethnic cleansing …er… mass deportation efforts on the most dangerous criminals in the U.S. illegally. Apparently that means Harvard students who write op-eds for their college newspaper, law abiding fathers with steady jobs and American wives, makeup artists with Latino names, and four year old cancer patients. But he let Soliman stay. And somehow it was Biden’s fault?

And that’s not all, Trump’s senior White House advisor, Stephen Miller, likewise blamed Biden in a tweet about Soliman’s illegal status, even though that was not the case until Trump was in office. And a similar tweet was posted by the official Trump War Room account on Twitter.

Clearly Trump’s interest in this matter is not related to the fate of the victims, the administration of justice, or the welfare of the American people. His highest priorities in responding to this tragedy are to whitewash his own reputation and to slander his adversaries. Which is a pretty good summation of the malignant narcissism that governs Trump’s priorities when responding to anything.

Trump Warns West Point Graduates About the Troubles with ‘Trophy Wives’ – No, REALLY!

Posted by on May 24, 2025 at 12:42 pm. 0 Comments :

Taking a day off from his busy schedule of staged executive order signings, dinners with buyers of his meme coins, and golfing at his own resorts, Donald Trump ventured off to the United States Military Academy at West Point. The five-time draft dodger who called fallen soldiers “suckers” and “losers” was there ostensibly to deliver a commencement speech to inspire the cadets on their graduation.

Donald Trump Baby at Podium

Unfortunately, Trump’s speech was just another one of the rabidly partisan campaign style rants that he disgorges at his cult rallies. Consequently, it was filled with lies, insults, and narcissistic exaltations of himself. It was indistinguishable from the self-serving propaganda that he unloads during the staged press avails where he reveals how ignorant he is about pretty much everything.

Commencement speeches are supposed to be events that will inspire graduating students in advance of the life journeys that they will shortly embark upon. But true to form, Trump’s speech hardly conformed to that grand tradition. Instead, he tainted the entire affair with his radical, far-right, MAGA-fied politics, and flattery of himself and his imaginary achievements in office.

Among Trump’s egomaniacal glorifications was one that was particularly appropriate. He told the story of his friend, real estate magnate William Levitt, who “lost momentum” and became a wretched loser who died bankrupt and alone. According to Trump…

“He ended up getting a divorce, found a new wife — could you say a trophy wife? I guess we can say a trophy wife. It didn’t work out too well. And that doesn’t work out too well, I must tell you, a lot of trophy wives. It doesn’t work out. But it made him happy for a little while, at least. But he found a new wife. He sold his little boat, he got a big yacht.”

In a pathetic commencement speech at West Point, Trump rambles about someone's trophy wife:"That doesn't work out too well, I must tell you. A lot of trophy wives."How inspiring, coming from an expert on trophy wives that don't work out well, who cheated on all of them.

Trump’s tale of Leavitt sounds awfully familiar. Trump himself was divorced – twice. Each time he remarried someone that could be described as a “trophy wife.” It didn’t work out well. He cheated on all three of them. His current wife Melania – a former model – rarely spends any time with him. She lives in New York, not at the White House or Mar-a-Lago. She probably made him happy for a little while, at least. But now she’s probably just trying to hold on until the will has been read.

Most of the rest of Trump’s speech wasn’t any better. Rather than imparting any gems of wisdom for his young audience, Trump battered them with political bullsh*t that they couldn’t care less about. They rarely applauded his raving madness that included the following…

“We are making deals with other nations that were not even –nobody thought it would be possible.”
Trump hasn’t made a single trade deal to mitigate his ludicrous, inflationary tariffs. He just has a framework with the UK, and some discussions with China. Nothing finalized with them or the nearly 200 other countries that he tariffed.

“We won 2750 districts against 505. 2750 against 505. We had a great mandate and it gives us the right to do what we want to do.”
The districts he won were mostly sparsely populated rural areas. The districts won by Kamala Harris were densely populated cities. And winning an election does not give you the right to violate the law or the Constitution, as Trump does every day.

“I was investigated more than the great, late Alphonse Capone. Alphonse Capone was a monster.”
Trump loves to brag that he is a worse “monster” than the notorious mob boss, Al Capone. Which is true. Trump has a couple of dozen more felony convictions than Capone, and is responsible for more death.

“The job of the U.S. Armed forces is not to host drag shows, to transform foreign cultures, but to spread democracy to everybody around the world at the point of a gun.”
So Trump thinks that it’s his job to threaten all other countries to accept his perverse brand of democracy at “the point of gun.” That’s the rhetoric of a mad tyrant who wants to rule the world. And it’s consistent with his talk of invading and/or annexing Mexico, Canada, and Greenland.

Hopefully the West Point Cadets can shake this off and get on their lives without this staining their day of accomplishment and pride. It’s too bad they didn’t have the far better, more inspirational, more intelligent, commencement speaker that the University of Maryland was lucky enough to get…

“Life is better when we leap together.” Kermit the Frog delivered a commencement speech at the University of Maryland on Thursday, the alma mater of his creator, Jim Henson. nyti.ms/4dwMuhQ

What’s Keeping Snowflake Trump Awake at Night? Springsteen, Beyoncé, and Oprah, Oh My!

Posted by on May 19, 2025 at 9:31 pm. 0 Comments :

Poor crybaby Donald Trump is spending sleepless nights massaging his wounded ego that can’t handle the fact that he is unloved by America’s most admired and talented celebrities. He is suffering terribly with having to console himself with losers like Kid Rock and Roseanne Barr. What a pity.

Donald Trump, Snowflakes

In the deepest recesses of his lonely nights, Trump is still sobbing into his MyPillow over the results of the 2024 election that he waged against Kamala Harris. Even though he won (by a historically small margin), he is inconsolable that he failed to get every vote, or to avoid any criticism. He is still whining over contrived complaints that no one buys except his cult devotees.

SEE THIS: 60 Minutes Interview of Kamala Harris that Drove Trump to Sue CBS is Nominated for an Emmy

So early on Monday morning, Trump was awake and posting pathetic comments on his failing Twitter rip off, Truth Social. At 1:34 AM Trump lashed out at some of the beloved Americans that had the audacity to reject him and endorse Kamala Harris. He bleated that…

“HOW MUCH DID KAMALA HARRIS PAY BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN FOR HIS POOR PERFORMANCE DURING HER CAMPAIGN FOR PRESIDENT? WHY DID HE ACCEPT THAT MONEY IF HE IS SUCH A FAN OF HERS? ISN’T THAT A MAJOR AND ILLEGAL CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION? WHAT ABOUT BEYONCÉ? …AND HOW MUCH WENT TO OPRAH, AND BONO???”

We now interrupt this yowling to state for the record that none of what Trump is grousing about is true. PolitiFact and others researched these baseless allegations last October when Trump first raised them about Beyoncé and “found no credible reporting that Beyoncé was paid for her endorsement or comments at the rally.”

Trump has offered no new evidence of any payments since then for Beyoncé, or Springsteen, or Oprah, or Bono. The only thing he’s offered is his relentless sniveling. And on the basis of that he is threatening to have Harris and/or the celebrities who supported her, investigated for some unspecified crime…

“I am going to call for a major investigation into this matter. Candidates aren’t allowed to pay for ENDORSEMENTS, which is what Kamala did, under the guise of paying for entertainment. In addition, this was a very expensive and desperate effort to artificially build up her sparse crowds. IT’S NOT LEGAL! For these unpatriotic ‘entertainers,’ this was just a CORRUPT & UNLAWFUL way to capitalize on a broken system.”

Once again, Trump is trafficking in imaginary improprieties. Harris didn’t pay for endorsements or for entertainment. She did pay for certain production costs that the law stipulates must be paid for. Those payments went to the contractors who did the production work, not the artists. But Trump still wasn’t satisfied. At 9:11 AM the same morning he posted another tantrum saying that…

“According to news reports, Beyoncé was paid $11,000,000 to walk onto a stage, quickly ENDORSE KAMALA, and walk off to loud booing for never having performed, NOT EVEN ONE SONG! Remember, the Democrats and Kamala illegally paid her millions of Dollars for doing nothing other than giving Kamala a full throated ENDORSEMENT. THIS IS AN ILLEGAL ELECTION SCAM AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL! IT IS AN ILLEGAL CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION! BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN, OPRAH, BONO AND, PERHAPS, MANY OTHERS, HAVE A LOT OF EXPLAINING TO DO!!!”

Naturally, Trump didn’t bother to post links to any of the alleged “news reports” that he said reported that “Beyoncé was paid $11,000,000.” But in his defense, he had a good reason for not posting those links. They don’t exist. There is likewise no video of anyone booing Beyoncé, so he didn’t post that either. But he did repeat his preposterous charge that something Harris did was “AN ILLEGAL ELECTION SCAM AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL!”

Trump has always been fond of accusing others of violating the law. It’s called projection. He is the only president who has earned 34 felony convictions. And he is the candidate who had billionaires like Elon Musk contributing millions of dollars to his campaign. And he is the one who launched a meme coin that could serve as a virtual depository for untraceable bribes from conflicted persons, including foreign operatives.

Unfortunately, Trump is also the one who yells the loudest to deflect from the criminal activities that he regularly engages in. And that deflection also draws attention away from his abhorrent policies, such as deporting migrants to foreign gulags without due process, shutting down critical government agencies that save lives in the U.S. and internationally, cutting programs that Americans rely on like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, and trashing the Constitution’s protections for the free press.

But at least he’s on top of the scandalous affairs of which pop stars are backing which politicians. Someone else will take of the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, and the coming recession. Trump has his tiny hands full with fantasies about Springsteen and Beyoncé.

HUH? Fox News Makes the Most Bizarre Justification Yet for Trump Accepting a Free Jet From Qatar

Posted by on May 14, 2025 at 2:45 pm. 0 Comments :

The recent revelation that Donald Trump is preparing to accept a $400 million plane from Qatar to replace Air Force One has been leading the news cycle for three days now. For better or worse, it has taken precedence over his junket to the Middle East, his phony trade deals with the UK and China, his unlawful and unenforceable drug price reductions, and his efforts to defy the constitutional protection of habeas Corpus laws.

Fox News Sad

Naturally, Trump’s always predictable reaction to the torrent of criticism that he has received for his latest self-enriching enterprise has been predominantly to deny, lie, and insult his critics, whether they be Democrats, Republicans, or journalists. Especially journalists…

SEE THIS: Scaredy Trump Attacks Reporter to Dodge Questions About His $400 Million Gift Plane from Qatar

Fortunately for Trump, he will always have Fox News to carry water for him as he seeks to flood the zone with bullpucky and gaslight his gullible cult disciples. To that end, the “Curvy Couch” potatoes of Fox and Friends embarked on a path of shameless Trump-fluffing to absolve him of any guilt for eagerly grabbing the gift of a flying palace from a Middle Eastern nation with whom he is doing business. Spinning furiously, they said that…

Brian Kilmeade: The question is the optics. What does Qatar want in return for a multi billion dollar plane?
Lawrence Jones: I think we would be crazy not to accept the plane. I think people have been watching way too many spy movies. And if you think the United States government and our Defense Department is not going to strip the plane – everybody is talking about technology. Could they be spying on us? Of course. We have foreign assets that want to spy on us. But they are not going to take the plane as is. They will break it apart. They will put the necessary military assets on there. The technology is there.
Kilmeade: Flip the couches to the other side.
Jones: I think it’s a gift. I think it’s totally okay.
Ainsley Earhardt: Look, the left is going crazy about this. But they have to be careful. They are fine with Harvard getting all these gifts from these Middle Eastern countries. And Bill Ackman says “the hypocrisy is staggering. If the Pentagon took a $400 million plane from Qatar, it would rightly spark outrage over foreign influence. Yet universities pocket billions from the same regimes and get a free pass.” American universities are getting billions in gifts from foreign countries and they are okay with that. Remember Barack Obama supported Harvard for going after Trump?

Jones is parroting Trump himself who said that “It would be stupid” not to accept the plane. His reasoning rested solely on the claim that it’s free. Let’s get back to that nonsense in moment. First, let’s note that free gifts are not permitted under the Constitution’s Emoluments Clause. And it would be ridiculous to suggest that just because something is free that it’s okay. Would it be okay for someone with matters pending before a senator or a judge to give them a free Mercedes or Rolex?

As to whether the plane is actually free, NBC News reports that it could cost more than a billion dollars to “strip the plane” and then rebuild it with the added security enhancements that the president’s plane requires. Plus it could take years to complete the transformation. So the planes currently being built by Boeing to replace Air force One could be delivered first. And Trump would end up getting a free plane for his library that was never used as Air Force One.

Perhaps the most preposterous take in this Fox News segment is Earhardt’s comparison of Trump accepting a multimillion plane from a foreign government, to Harvard accepting academic donations. To begin with, Earhardt is actually agreeing that Trump’s acceptance of the plane is improper and “would rightly spark outrage over foreign influence.” Her complaint is only that Democrats might be hypocritical for not also being outraged about Harvard. Which is not even remotely similar.

Unlike Trump’s gift, there is nothing in the Constitution prohibiting Harvard from taking such donations. Harvard isn’t using those funds in any endeavor that would impact national security. In fact, as reported by The Harvard Crimson, they are used for financial aid, graduate fellowships, research funding, and related educational and operational expenses. And the donations they receive are fully disclosed as required by law.

Trying to equate Trump, a known felon with 34 convictions for financial fraud, and his breach of constitutional law, to Harvard’s commonplace and legal academic fundraising, is really just a demonstration of how desperate Fox News is to find any justification for an unjustifiable act by a criminal president. And that desperation only makes their failure more apparent and pathetic.
