Fascismo J. Trump Threatens to Sue Progressive Think Tank for Exposing More of His Flagrant Lies

Posted by on September 7, 2026 at 3:47 pm. 1 Comments :

The longstanding lust that Donald Trump harbors to reign as an unchallenged dictator continues to reveal itself in his aberrant behavior that is getting worse by the day. For instance, from his perverse perspective he believes that he can rename everything from the Strait of Hormuz (Trump Strait?), to the state of New Mexico (New America?).

Donald Trump Angry

Trump’s authoritarian aspirations manifest in ever more troubling ways. Among them are his attacks on the free press that he frequently refers to in Stalinist terms as “the enemy of the people.” He lashes out at the media on a daily basis, often including threats that are flagrant violations of the First Amendment, and for which he has no authority to enforce.

SEE THIS: Wannabe Fascist Dictator Trump is Reporting Meet the Press Host to His FCC – For ‘Punishment’?

On Monday morning Trump squeezed out yet another unconstitutional abomination. This time it was a lawsuit threat aimed at the Center for American Progress (CAP), a progressive think tank that studies government agencies and policies. Trump was outraged over a television segment he saw where a CAP study contradicted Trump’s lies about crime cutting in cities where he illegally deployed the National Guard. Trump raged that…

“[T]he foolish Center for American Lack of Progress, stated that adding the National Guard to Cities, including our now Great Again, Washington, D.C., had ‘NO impact on Crime.’ How crazy is that. Hall was met with furious dissent. The report is just another Radical Left SCAM, as are the people who fund this gaggle of Lunatics.” […]

“These people, and others like them, are so bad for our Country. Their stated course is anything to hate or demean ‘TRUMP.’ This will be met with a lawsuit, which is being drawn now. I am also strongly considering adding some of the contributors to this Fake Organization.”

How crazy was that? Well, Trump never actually calculates the amount of crazy. He just insults the study’s authors, the organization, and their donors. He never offers a rebuttal to the facts in the study. In reality, the study isn’t crazy at all. In fact, it is a detailed examination of crime statistics that are backed up by reporting from official government law enforcement sources. See for yourself…

The Trump Administration’s $1.7 Billion National Guard Deployments Fail To Reduce Urban Crime
“The second Trump administration is trying to take credit for the historic drop in violent crime across America despite the fact that this trend began before it took office, and it is using these declines to justify expanding policies that are unpopular, ineffective, and costly. Even though the data clearly show that violent crime and homicides were already dropping in American cities in 2023 and 2024, the Trump administration has continued to threaten city and state leaders and argue that its extreme actions, such as deploying the National Guard to support law enforcement operations, are improving public safety.

“However, new Center for American Progress analysis finds no evidence that National Guard deployments have reduced violent crime. Moreover, if these deployments are extended and continue through the end of 2026, they could cost American taxpayers more than $1.7 billion.”

So Trump is once again threatening a lawsuit without a shred of evidence to support his wild and self-serving allegations. Once again his true purpose is to try to frighten his foes into submission. This is his way of silencing critics. And this time he’s even aiming his hostility at the organization’s donors in the hopes of drying up financial support for them and every other organization that might anger Trump. But he isn’t likely to succeed. CAP replied to his threats saying that…

“Lawyers for President Donald Trump issued a letter demanding the Center for American Progress retract a factual report or face a $5 billion lawsuit.”

[CAP President and CEO Neera Tanden added that] “This threatened lawsuit’s attack on facts and evidence is baseless. A fundamental protection of the First Amendment is to allow for the publication of facts and analysis that are contrary to the arguments and claims of any administration. A lawsuit is a transparent attempt to silence us. We will neither cower nor bend in the face of it.”

Trump thinks he can get away with these threats because a few media corporations with business before the government caved in. But an organization like CAP isn’t going to bend over. Even the media isn’t being so weak-kneed lately. And the American people will have the final word when they reject all things Trump in November. Then maybe he will sue all of us for voting against him. He really is that insane.

CORRUPT AF: Trump Dishes Out FEMA Aid as Political Payola to Help GOP Candidates in Red States

Posted by on September 2, 2026 at 3:01 pm. 0 Comments :

Throughout the history of the United States its greatest leaders have endeavored to act on behalf of all of the people of the country, without regard to their politics. They have sought fairness and unity and the benefit of the common good. And while there have been exceptions to this, there is no one who comes close to the gross partisanship of Donald Trump.

Trump Baby on Cash Pile

From his first days in office Trump has been brazenly dedicated to advancing only the interests of his own Republican (aka MAGA) Party. Even then, it was only when those interests were aligned with his egocentric ambitions to increase his personal wealth and power. And he had a particularly difficult time distinguishing between his interests and those of his comrades or the country.

SEE THIS: Delusional Trump Whines that Americans are ‘Angry at Republicans, But They’re Not Angry At Me’

On Tuesday Trump was busying himself with doling out federal funds to improperly buy the loyalty of his fellow Republicans. In a series of comments posted to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, Trump announced his bestowing of more than $100 million in taxpayer money, in the form of FEMA grants, to the red states that have been supportive of him. And he wasn’t the least bit shy about his blatant politicization of federal disaster relief funds. Here is what he said about each of these dirty disbursements…

  • Kentucky: I just informed Andy Barr, who is running to be the next Senator from the incredible Commonwealth of Kentucky, that I am approving 9.1 Million Dollars…Vote for Andy Barr.
  • Kansas: I just informed Senator Roger Marshall, who has my Complete and Total Endorsement, that I am granting 13.2 Million Dollars.
  • Iowa: I just spoke to the future Senator (Hopefully!) from the Great State of Iowa, Ashley Hinson, and told her that I am approving 5 Million Dollars…I love Iowa, and won it BIG.
  • Texas: I just informed Governor Greg Abbott, of the GREAT State of Texas (who has my Complete and Total Endorsement for Re-Election!), that I am sending 50.5 Million Dollars. I will be back soon to support Governor Abbott, Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, Ken Paxton for U.S. Senate.
  • South Dakota: I just spoke with Governor Larry Rhoden, of the Great State of South Dakota, and informed him that I am approving 3.4 Million Dollars.
  • North Dakota: I just spoke with Governor Kelly Armstrong, of the beautiful State of North Dakota, and told him I am approving 3.4 Million Dollars…I won BIG all three times.
  • Missouri: I just informed Governor Mike Kehoe that I am approving 19.9 Million Dollars for the Great State of Missouri.

Notice that Trump explicitly presented several of his gifts/bribes to the Republican candidates in those red states, not the governors who receive and distribute such funds. Even for Kentucky and Kansas, he didn’t even mention their governors, who happen to be Democrats.

Trump’s reference to the politics of his identified recipients, and his bragging about past election results, makes it unmistakable that these FEMA grants were not meant to benefit disaster victims. They are in-kind donations to GOP political campaigns in the nine weeks remaining before the midterm elections.

In July, Trump blocked aid to blue states – New Jersey, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New York – after FEMA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration determined that they met the requirements for receiving aid. Even worse, a study by E&E News by Politico found that Trump “has approved just 23 percent of blue state requests for disaster aid, compared to 89 percent for red states.” Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI) put that study to good use in a Senate hearing where he confronted Homeland Security Secretary, Markwayne Mullin…

PETERS: Yes or no, do you think it's right for a president to approve disaster aid based on whether a state voted for him instead of the amount of damage in the state? This chart behind me is pretty dramaticMARKWAYNE MULLIN: That's not my experience of the president P: This chart speaks volumes

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-06-02T20:00:31.487Z

This is all further evidence that Trump hates America. He is only for himself. If he sees no personal advantage to any policy that crosses his desk, it goes in the trash. But he will spend unlimited amounts of the money of the American people – including that intended for disaster victims – on himself and dole it out to anyone who fluffs his insatiable ego.

Trump Gets Slammed With a Lawsuit to Halt His Sleazy Truth Social Insider Trading Scam

Posted by on August 12, 2026 at 4:14 pm. 1 Comments :

The continuing saga of Donald Trump and his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, has just posted a new chapter of corruption and criminality. The website that Trump launched after he was banned from Twitter for inciting violence has been a financial fiasco from its inception.

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

Donald Trump, Twitter

On Wednesday morning it was reported that a federal lawsuit has been filed against Trump to halt a creative new method of fleecing his flock and extorting funds from conflicted enterprises seeking favors from his administration. The sleazy product offering from Truth Social was a thinly veiled attempt at illegally selling access to insider information.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Scheme to Monetize Insider Trading on Truth Social is Getting Ripped By Republicans

The concept of making people pay for access to official government information that belongs to the public is profoundly corrupt. It gives the wealthy buyers market-moving data before the general public gets it. That’s the definition of insider trading. As reported by the Associated Press…

“The suit comes after his media company, Trump Media & Technology, rolled out a new subscription service earlier this month charging Wall Street firms as much as $100,000 a month to get his posts faster so they can trade off them.

“‘A president selling priority access to news he himself generates for the benefit of a private company he controls is so blatantly corrupt and unconstitutional that it would have been hard to even fathom just a few years ago,” said Seth Stern, chief of advocacy at Freedom of the Press Foundation, a plaintiff in the case along with news outlet The Intercept.'”

A comment by Truth Social tried to dismiss the complaint by claiming that selling such access is common in the media business. That’s true. However, other media companies are selling access to the work product of their own journalists. Trump is selling access to what he is doing himself. And it’s not just him. Other senior government officials are also part of the product, including Vice-President JD Vance, FBI Director Kash Patel, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert Kennedy.

What Trump is doing is analogous to a quarterback selling his game plans to gamblers so that they can place bets on the game. Except with Trump it’s not a game. It includes national security information. Wall Street brokers are more than willing to shell out for advance notice of Trump’s actions in the Strait of Hormuz. And what would stop a clandestine Iranian operative from buying the same access?

This “service” from Truth Social seems glaringly unlawful on its face. So what would cause them to offer it? It might have something to with the fact that the company is a business basket case. It’s stock is trading in single digits, a 90% collapse from it’s high mark. It is bleeding cash and users.

The company’s most recent quarterly report shows a loss of $238 million on paltry revenue of less than $2 million. What’s more, their users have declined a devastating 36% year over year. And this is the year that Trump returned to office and claims to be enjoying his best approval ratings ever.

The lawsuit challenging Trump’s new scam is well founded, and could result in the offering being prohibited. But there would still be plenty of legally suspect activity going on with Trump’s enterprise. In fact, that’s been an ongoing feature of Trump’s business practices. What follows are some examples…

YOU’RE FIRED: Trump Media’s CEO, Devin Nunes, Gets Booted From the Failing Truth Social Company
Devin Nunes, who had no relevant business experience whatsoever, proceeded to run the sham operation into the ground. He packaged it with a variety of unrelated undertakings, such as cryptocurrency, mutual funds, gambling, and even an attempt at AI that seemed to go rogue.

Trump’s Cratering Truth Social Stock Reflects the Catastrophe of Everything That Trump Does
Trump Media and Technology Group Corp. plans to issue a new cryptocurrency, which will be distributed among its shareholders. […] The coins won’t represent ownership of DJT shares, and may not be transferable or exchanged for cash.

Trump’s Scammy Media Stock, and Truth Social Parent, Completes a Classic Pump and Dump
The merger of the Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG) with TAE Technologies, a nuclear fusion startup. TAE’s energy products are at present speculative and they have no facilities generating any power resources. Nevertheless, the news caused TMTG’s stock to surge 33%, but two weeks later reversed course back to around $12.80. So anyone who jumped in on the news is already suffering a 25% loss.

Truth Social Disease: Ads on Trump’s Twitter Ripoff are Mostly Scams and Trump-Fluffing Merch
Advertisers are afraid of their ads being juxtaposed with hate speech and other noxious content. Consequently, the only advertisers who are willing to shell out are sketchy scammers, conspiracy theorists, and junk peddlers.

Does JD Vance Want to Imprison Trump for ‘Enriching Himself Off of the American Taxpayer’?

Posted by on August 6, 2026 at 3:05 pm. 2 Comments :

When Donald Trump reoccupied the White House last year, he went to great pains to avoid what he considered mistakes during his first occupation. For the most part that meant surrounding himself with drooling sycophants that he could trust to be loyal to him only, rather than to the law or the Constitution or the American people.

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

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

Trump did a pretty good job of that by appointing the most unqualified, incompetent clowns – many recruited directly from Fox News – to his Cabinet and other senior administration posts that he could rest assured would never do anything without his approval, and who would never contradict or challenge him. At least not intentionally. The result is a confederacy of devoted MAGA-tists who worship Dear Leader…

SEE THIS: Trump Gathers His Cabinet Members to Conduct Another Festival of Feckless Trump-Fluffing

While Trump’s flunkies perform down to their expectations most of the time, the instances of unintentional departures from the regime dogma are serious and increasingly frequent. They include U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro contradicting Trump’s lies about vandals doing damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, and Secretary of War Crimes Pete Hegseth leaking the depletion of U.S. munitions stockpiles.

However, the most serious propaganda breakdown may have just been perpetrated by Trump’s Vice-President, JD Vance. A few weeks ago Trump made Vance his “Fraud Czar,” presumably to crack down on anyone who tried to move in on mob boss Trump’s territory.

On Thursday, Vance sat down for a friendly interview with Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, during which he came out in favor of prosecuting and imprisoning people who commit fraud at the expense of American taxpayers. He said that…

“I don’t care where you’re from. I don’t care what your name is. If you’re committing fraud against the American people, all of us in public leadership should be trying to stop it and try to throw you in prison for enriching yourself off of the American taxpayer.”

Does that sound like anyone you know? For the record, Donald Trump has been found liable for fraud in civil court for ripping off students of his phony university. He has had his charity shut down for fraudulent misuse of funds. And he was convicted on 34 felony charges of fraud related to his business dealings and association with porn star, Stormy Daniels.

These and numerous other scams were all designed to illegally enriched himself. And now his Fraud Czar is declaring that such behavior will be punished with prosecution and imprisonment. We’ll see. But don’t hold your breath. To date the only actions taken by Trump with regard to fraudsters has been to pardon them and to relieve them of paying any restitution to their victims. The only “victim” that he believes deserves restitution is himself.

Trump Runs His Bus Over Jeanine Pirro for Revealing His Lies About the Botched Reflecting Pool

Posted by on August 1, 2026 at 3:09 pm. 0 Comments :

The salacious saga of Donald Trump and the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool continues to sink ever deeper into fantastical tales of soap operatic twaddle. It’s origins as an ego-fluffing exercise by Trump have expanded into an epic misadventure in madness.

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

Jeanine Pirro Fox News

So far Trump has wasted more than $14 million dollars on this boondoggle. And who knows where that money went? Clearly it wasn’t into renovating the Reflecting Pool that remains a disastrous example of incompetence. But even worse, it has become a political tool for persecuting people who refuse to align with Trump’s twisted agenda. And his U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia – former Fox News host Jeanine Pirro – has become the human personification of that tool.

SEE THIS: Trump’s US Attorney in DC, Jeanine Pirro, Threatens Journalist for ‘Vandalizing’ Reflecting Pool

In June Pirro announced that she was filing charges against former American Olympian, David Hearn, for allegedly vandalizing the Reflecting Pool. She was adamant that she had an open and shut case saying that “The evidence shows, and we will prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Hearn willfully destroyed property at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.”

It didn’t quite work out that way. This week Pirro did an Olympic-grade flip-flop, filing a motion to dismiss the charges against Hearn. As reported by NBC News…

“The Trump administration has dropped its case against a former Olympic canoeist charged in connection with damage to the Reflecting Pool, acknowledging its allegations against David ‘Davey’ Hearn don’t hold water. […]

“Prosecutors said that after the indictment came down on July 2, the Interior Department provided additional documents to the U.S. attorney’s office ‘indicating that damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in June 2026 was the result of flawed installation by the contractor [and] that the damage was the result of a botched installation and not vandalism.'”

Okay. So then everything that Pirro said previously was untrue, and she lied to the Grand Jury that returned the indictment. What’s more, everything that Trump said about it was also untrue. Particularly his insistence that the damage – imaginary 350 foot gashes – was the work of vandals with knives who hate America. Pirro now says that that there is no evidence of any deliberate damage.

But here is where the plot thickens again. After Pirro dropped the charges, Trump posted his disapproval on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social. He raged that…

“I disagree 100% with Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, on the Reflecting Pool. I don’t know what she was thinking? To me, it was a pure case of VANDALISM, that included the grass, which had a big 86 47 emblazoned in giant letters on it, and other elements of the surrounding area. There may have been some contractor difficulty, but the major damage was caused by VANDALS!”

So Trump has thrown Pirro under his bus and backed up over her a couple of times. He is throwing his Interior Department under there as well since Pirro blamed them for her incompetence. Meanwhile, Trump is clinging to his prior lies despite having no evidence to support them. Notice also that he is not reaffirming his position because of any new information or proof, but because he says “To me” vandals damaged the Reflecting Pool. So it’s just a feeling that he has. Which for him is enough to prosecute innocent bystanders and rebuke your staff.

[UPDATE: Trump’s Interior Department Secretary, Doug Burgum, has issued a statement calling Pirro a liar and taking Trump’s side, like a good cult devotee. He says that “The evidence is clear, vandals have repeatedly caused damage to the Reflecting Pool.” But, like Trump, he produced no such evidence.

Trump’s post is like wading through a Deflecting Pool, wherein he attempts to shift the subject to a different incident involving the numbers “8647” on a grass field. Furthermore, in a subsequent post Trump tripled down on his allegations saying “Look for yourselves at the VANDALISM that took place at The Reflecting Pool. The material is being cut with a knife or a box cutter, for all to see!” To no one’s surprise, the video he posted didn’t show anyone cutting anything.

You have to wonder how Trump can keep Pirro on as U.S. Attorney in DC. He is undermining her credibility, which was already in short supply. She can hardly be relied upon as a prosecutor in any other cases that her office might file. She ought to be investigated for prosecutorial misconduct. In addition to that, Mr. Hearn is likely considering a lawsuit for malicious prosecution, defamation, and abuse of process.

It’s just like many other cases that Trump’s “Justice” Department pursued that they wound up dropping for lack of evidence or other malfeasance. For instance, the case against former FBI Director James for posting a photo of seashells spelling “8647.” Also, the cases against Senators Mark Kelly and Elissa Slotkin and four members of Congress for reminding military personnel of their duty to decline to follow illegal orders.

Trump has a spotty record of loyalty in cases such as these. At times he will cut someone loose who has embarrassed him or failed to achieve his nefarious goals. At other times he has stuck by a failing staffer who he regards as staunchly devoted to him. Time will tell where Pirro ends up, although neither is a place of honor.

Trump Plots to Evade Senate Vote for Todd Blanche So He Can Keep His Slush Fund and Immunity

Posted by on July 30, 2026 at 2:42 pm. 0 Comments :

Trump’s approval rating has been spiraling downward for months. This week three reputable national polls have documented this decline. According to these surveys Trump is now wallowing in the low thirties, a depth that is lower than at any time in either of his occupations of the White House.

Donald Trump fear

Among the consequences of Trump’s collapsing reputation is the softening of support from his Republican cohorts in Congress. He is finding it more difficult to get legislation passed as representatives and senators are realizing that they have less to fear from Trump than they do from voters. And Trump appears to be realizing it too.

SEE THIS: Trump FREAKS OUT Over a Democratic Proposal: ‘They Do This, and the Republican Party is DEAD!’

On Thursday Trump was busy doing what he regards as critical presidenty stuff: posting deranged rants on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social. Included in his latest batch of bullshittery was a comment that, on the surface, was an affirmation of his support for his acting Attorney General, Todd Blanche. But on closer examination it was a confession of his commitment to corruption. Trump wrote that…

“Todd Blanche is a STAR, and everyone knows it! He has the potential to go down as one of the Greatest Attorney Generals of All Time. However, John Cornyn, of Texas, and Thom Tillis, of North Carolina, both of whom I refused to Endorse, and whose political careers have been ended by my action, are refusing to vote for this Great Nominee. […]

“I have no objection to temporarily withdrawing Todd’s name, if they do not do the right thing, and putting him back after Cornyn and Tillis are out of office.”

If Blanche is a “STAR,” he is a red dwarf that is smaller and dimmer than others. And everyone knows it. More to the point, Trump is very perturbed (his resting emotional state) that a couple of Republican senators are reluctant to rubber stamp his nominee to become Attorney General. It’s true that Trump contributed to their senate careers coming to end. However, it’s also true that Trump was ignorantly blind that losing their support would be a predictable result of sabotaging their reelection.

Trump’s solution to this problem is to threaten to leave Blanche on as “acting” Attorney General until Tillis and Cornyn are out of office. There is some legal ambiguity as to how long Blanche could serve in an acting capacity. However, informed legal analysis suggests that it could be indefinitely.

Nevertheless, there are some problems with Trump’s plot to circumvent the Constitution and keep his personal criminal defense lawyer the head of the “Justice” Department. First of all, both Tillis and Cornyn might very well be replaced by Democrats in the November midterm elections. In North Carolina, former Gov. Roy Cooper is currently way ahead of his GOP opponent for the Tillis seat. In Texas, James Talarico is making an impressively strong bid for Cornyn’s seat.

If the Democrats win those races, and a few more in other states, Trump won’t be able to confirm Blanche, or any other crackpot nominee that Trump puts forward for the remaining two years of his lame duck presidency. And make no mistake about it, Blanche is a bona fide crackpot.

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

Trump’s ultimatum is profoundly un-American and blatantly corrupt. All he needs to do to get the votes of Tillis and Cornyn is to have Blanche put in writing a revocation of the “weaponization” slush fund that he (as president) negotiated in a settlement with himself (as head of the Treasury Department/IRS). That fund was implemented to reward the criminals that stormed Congress on January 6, 2021.

By refusing to revoke the settlement, Trump is admitting that he would prefer to withdraw Blanche’s nomination, and have him serve in the sketchy “acting” status indefinitely, rather than have Blanche put in writing the revocation of the Seditionist Reward Scheme that he claims to have abandoned. So apparently, Trump has never intended to abandon the fund, and Blanche knows it.

[UPDATE: The next day Trump told reporters that the fund was dead. But saying it’s dead doesn’t make it dead. He can revive it any time he wants. He won’t put it in writing. Why not? He is literally stalling his own AG confirmation over that. And he still insists that he wants to compensate the criminally seditious rioters.]

Furthermore, Trump is also clinging to the immunity from IRS audits that his self-negotiated settlement also stipulated. That’s an extension of Trump’s broader intentions to evade legal accountability for his criminal acts, which was a primary motivation for his running for reelection.

None of this should surprise anyone who has been paying attention to Trump’s time in office. He has repeatedly demonstrated his aversion to the law and the Constitution. He files lawsuits at every opportunity to violate settled law. He governs by executive orders, then ignores the court rulings that strike them down. And he issues flagrantly unlawful orders covering everything from tariffs, to government terminations, to his reckless fiasco in Iran.

So it’s no wonder that such a president insists on having a partisan Attorney General, who is loyal only to him rather than to the Constitution, to protect him from the consequences of his criminal acts. It’s a plan that has worked to some degree, so far. But after November, Trump may hit a few speed bumps on his road to tyranny.

Trump’s Scheme to Monetize Insider Trading on Truth Social is Getting Ripped By Republicans

Posted by on July 23, 2026 at 2:23 pm. 0 Comments :

America’s Grifter-In-Chief, Donald Trump, has an impressive ability to stay firmly focused on unique, albeit illegal, methods of enriching himself at all times. Some reports reveal that he has already earned billions in just his second occupation of the White House. Trump has proven that, no matter what other pressing issues might arise, he cannot be distracted from his prime directive of personal wealth creation.

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

Trump Baby on Cash Pile

That’s right. It is practically impossible to divert Trump from his purposeful greed even when facing catastrophes such as wars with Middle East terrorists, or domestic economic crises that financially burden the nation’s populace, or rogue immigration thugs harassing and even killing innocent people, or threats to public health, or pedophiles running free to victimize more children. And complying with the law is a formality that he feels free to ignore.

SEE THIS: Trump Himself Confirms that He is the Most Deviant Lawbreaker in Presidential History

Last week Trump’s dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, introduced a new fangled way of depositing dollars into his bank accounts. They announced that well-heeled investors and financial institutions would be able to buy “fastest access” to the market moving comments that Trump posts on his Twitter ripoff. That way they can profit by trading on this insider information before it is available to the general public. These Wall Street traders and investment firms would pony up as much as $100,000 a month to Trump for this privilege.

Scams like this are necessary for Truth Social since it is such an abysmal failure whose stock has suffered a 90% decline from its high mark. However, there has been some notable blowback on this new and blatantly unethical, if not outright illegal, project. According to Bloomberg News…

“Senators in both parties are questioning a plan by President Donald Trump’s media company to sell real-time access to Truth Social posts to Wall Street firms.

“The sharpest criticisms have come from Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer, who on Tuesday blasted the move as ‘the exact definition of insider trading.’ But even within the president’s own party, several key senators raised concerns about the propriety of the move.”

Republicans who are nervous about Trump’s most recent venture into criminality are beginning to speak out about it. Here’s what some of them are saying…

  • Chuck Grassley: “If it’s got anything to do with insider trading, it would be illegal.”
  • Thom Tillis: Trump could be “wading into a gray area.”
  • Lisa Murkowski: “I hope he’s not thinking about that.”
  • John Thune: “My assumption is that will get tested somewhere.”

These are not particularly bold pronouncements of support for law and order. But for Republicans it’s probably the best we can get. If we’re lucky they will summon up the courage to hold Trump accountable and force him to obey they law. If not, Democrats will do it by themselves after they take control of Congress following the midterm elections.

This new scam by Trump isn’t happening in a vacuum. His Truth Social has been skimming the borders of impropriety since it was first conceived. What follows are some examples…

YOU’RE FIRED: Trump Media’s CEO, Devin Nunes, Gets Booted From the Failing Truth Social Company
Devin Nunes, who had no relevant business experience whatsoever, proceeded to run the sham operation into the ground. He packaged it with a variety of unrelated undertakings, such as cryptocurrency, mutual funds, gambling, and even an attempt at AI that seemed to go rogue.

Trump Media (Truth Social) Falls to Its Lowest Point Ever – And So Does Donald Trump
Reflecting the animus that Trump inspires in America, his scam business venture, Trump Media and Technology Group, is suffering its worst week since it went public a year and a half ago. It has lost a whopping 80% of its asset value since then.

The Trump Media and Technology Group (Truth Social) Scam Reflects His Fondness for Fraud
During an interview on CNBC, Trump complained that he has been treated “very badly” by banks that he alleged were discriminating against him. Of course that might be because of the 34 felony convictions he has for defrauding banks. Not to mention a civil lawsuit finding of liability that cost him about half a billion dollars.

Trump Himself Confirms that He is the Most Deviant Lawbreaker in Presidential History

Posted by on July 5, 2026 at 3:32 pm. 0 Comments :

In the few short years that Donald Trump has occupied the White House (yeah, I know, it seems like an eternity in hell), he has managed to make effective use of that time to distinguish himself as a fierce foe of the Constitution and the principles embedded in it that define true American greatness.

Donald Trump, Prison

Trump has exploited his position in order to enrich himself, his family, and his billionaire pals. He has pressured his “Justice” Department to persecute his political enemies. He has suppressed evidence of crimes committed by himself and his MAGA allies. He has bullied the free press into sanitizing his words and nefarious deeds. And he has fomented fear among his cult disciples to feed their hatred and fuel their blind loyalty.

In addition to the all of that, Trump has presided over a regime of lawlessness. He issues executive orders that are entirely devoid of legal justification or force of law. He takes actions that he has no lawful authority to take. And he strongarms Congress to pass legislation that is blatantly unconstitutional.

Consequently, Trump has had a difficult time with the courts that review his tyrannical overreach. For example, the Supreme Court, that currently has a conservative majority, just ruled against Trump’s attempt to revoke the Constitution’s guarantee of birthright citizenship. He also lost a case wherein he tried to ban mail-in voting, and another that dealt with reproductive healthcare.

Decisions such as these are driving Trump even crazier than usual. This Trump madness has resulted in his reposting of a tweet by GOP Rep. Abe Hamadeh (AZ, MAGA) on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social.

Hamadeh wrote that “In their desperate bid to to stop president Trump, activist judges have seized power from the president.” He also claimed that it was a “blatant override of executive authority [that] has shredded public trust and accelerated Americans’ loss of faith in our institutions.” Additionally, the tweet included a chart of “Preliminary Injunctions Against Administrative Policies of Sitting Presidents” and called it a “Tyranny of the judiciary.”

Nothing has “shredded public trust” more than Trump and his MAGA-tists viciously and personally maligning any judge that delivers a ruling that he doesn’t like. But the most notable part of this commentary is the chart that shows the number of adverse rulings by recent presidents: Bush: 6, Obama: 12, Trump: 75, Biden: 21, Trump: 169.

Trump and company view this chart as proof that the judiciary is biased against him. But in reality it reveals that Trump is just in violation of the law far more often than his peers. And it isn’t some conspiracy of bias, because many of these rulings were made by judges that were appointed by Republicans, including Trump. And the disparity is profound. The chart displayed a total of 39 adverse rulings in 20 years for Bush, Obama, and Biden combined. While there were 249 in only five years for Trump alone.

Nevertheless, a subsequent post by Trump blames it all on Democrats, with Trump accusing them of engaging in “lawfare on steroids,” and warning that “Our republic will die in a black robe.” That’s the sort of deranged hyperbole that Trump traffics in daily. And on this particular day Trump was in rare form. He posted 105 comments before dinner. Most were exaltations of himself and his work on the Reflecting Pool and other D.C. tourist attractions.

Trump did slip in half a dozen comments warning about “godless communists,” by which he means Democrats. But it’s good to see that he remains laser-focused on what matters most to the American people. And he is keeping busy online rather than wasting more time with the war against Iran that he started and is losing, or trying to resolve the affordability crisis, which he is also responsible for. In the meantime, the nation waits to see what other laws he will break going forward. And we haven’t even mentioned Jeffrey Epstein yet.

Trump’s US Attorney in DC, Jeanine Pirro, Threatens Journalist for ‘Vandalizing’ Reflecting Pool

Posted by on June 21, 2026 at 12:57 pm. 1 Comments :

The parade of failures presided over by Donald Trump is a truly impressive prospectus of pitiful faux pas. They range from his disastrous and illegal war with Iran, to his callous abuse of immigrants, to his dreadful mismanagement of the economy, to his myriad of ego-stroking tributes to himself.

Jeanine Pirro Fox News

Trump’s ability to screw up anything that he is involved with is boundless. He even managed to turn his UFC cage match on the White House lawn into a debacle of epic proportions.

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

The latest catastrophe on Trump’s playlist is his so-called “renovation” of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, D.C. He spent upwards of $14 million on it, and in less than two weeks it has devolved into a swampy mess of algae and peeling paint.

True to form, Trump is genetically incapable of taking responsibility for anything. So he is trying desperately to blame this blunder on anyone else. This led to his manufacturing a claim that it was vandals – you know, “radical left lunatics” – who endeavored to destroy the perfect beautification effort that he had personally forged. He even said that the U.S. Park Police had arrested multiple suspected vandals, although there is no evidence of that.

In support of Trump’s contrived accusations, his U.S. Attorney for D.C., Jeanine Pirro, has announced that she is pursuing criminal charges against the imaginary vandals. And she is beginning with threats against a member of the media who dared to report on Trump’s Swamp Pool. Pirro was interviewed by Peter Doocy of Fox News Sunday morning…

Doocy: Trump has a crime-stoppers tip for you. He says “Lightweight ABC reporter Jonathan Karl was seen sticking his hand into the Pool and trying to rip the rubber off of the surface.” Is Jonathan Karl in trouble?
Pirro: Well, it depends. Anyone who is in a position of vandalizing or attempting to vandalize the Reflecting Pool will face the criminal justice system in D.C. The president has made it a priority to make D.C. not only safe, beautiful. And there are several citations that have been handed out to individuals, and these are cases that will be prosecuted to the full extent

Of course, Karl broke no law by demonstrating how the coating that Trump had applied was peeling off. Clearly Karl was not vandalizing anything. But Pirro leaves open the possibility that he could be prosecuted.

Pirro is adamant that she will prosecute anyone who vandalizes the Reflecting Pool. Never mind that there is zero evidence of any vandalization. Which is interesting because her boss has determined that anyone who storms Congress, destroys public property, and threatens the lives of representatives, gets a pardon and maybe millions of taxpayer dollars?

So according to Pirro, the seditionists who ransacked Congress and threatened to hang Mike Pence get a pass. But nonexistent Swamp Pool vandals will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. This is the brand of justice practiced by Pirro, a former Fox News host who had not worked professionally in the law for twenty years when Trump plucked her up from Fox. And Pirro’s record as U.S. Attorney has been notably awful. As reported by CNN…

“The DC US attorney’s office under Jeanine Pirro has had an unusually low win rate in trials in Washington’s federal district court this year…In its first eight criminal trials this year, the DC US attorney’s office has won only half of them — far below the national average.”

Among the cases for which Pirro failed to win convictions, or even bring to trial, was one involving a Subway sandwich “terrorist” who threw a footlong at an ICE agent. She also wasn’t able to get a Grand Jury to indict a group of Democratic veterans serving in Congress, including Senators Mark Kelly and Elissa Slotkin, on charges of sedition because they lawfully reminded soldiers of their sworn duty not to obey illegal orders.

The American people will be comforted knowing that during the Trump administration Swamp Pool vandals will be harshly dealt with, while violent insurrectionists will get off scot free. And the same goes for billionaires who commit fraud. And the same goes for pedophiles associated with child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, including his best friend Donald Trump.

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.
