Uncaring Ignorance About Jobs and Medicaid is a Sickening Requirement to Be in Trump’s Cabinet

The lasting legacy of Donald Trump is going to be filled with examples of his craving to reign as an anti-democratic autocrat, and his insatiable thirst for enriching himself with sleazy scams. He will be forever remembered as the Grifter-in-Chief who sought the worshipful adoration of his small but noisy cabal of cult followers.

Donald Trump

In addition to his acute case of malignant narcissism, Trump will also go down in history as the American “leader” who cherished the deliberate avoidance of intellect, declaring literally that he “loves the poorly educated.” Of course he does. Who else would vote for him? His tenure is a testament to infantile turpitude and the deranged, devolutionary dumbing down of academics in pursuit of a submissive society.

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

In a timely demonstration of Trump’s aversion to education, his Secretary of Agriculture, Brooke Rollins held a press conference to provide affirmation of Trump’s descent into Idiocracy. Responding to inquiries about how the United States will handle the consequences of Trump’s mass deportation agenda, and his “Big Ugly Bill” that slashes the budget for Medicaid, Rollins said that…

“There will be no amnesty. The mass deportations continue, but in a strategic way. And we move the workforce toward automation and 100% American participation, which with 34 million able-bodied adults on Medicaid we should be able to do fairly quickly.”

Brooke Rollins on farm laborers: "There will be no amnesty. The mass deportations continue, but in a strategic way. And we move the workforce toward automation and 100% American participation, which with 34 million able-bodied on Medicaid we should be able to do fairly quickly."

Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-07-08T14:06:46.629Z

There’s a lot of witlessness to unpack in that brief commentary. Let’s begin with Rollins’ reference to continuing mass deportations in a “strategic way.” By which she means enforcing it only in Democratic cities and states. She then moved on to her intention to replace farm laborers with automation. Although she doesn’t explain how she would automate the harvesting of agricultural crops, or why it has never been done before. Neither does she explain how the labor force would be “100% American” in this new type of harvesting that is done by machines.

Perhaps the most preposterous part of Rollins’ remarks was what she had to say about Medicaid. She believes that there are “34 million able-bodied adults” who can be immediately recruited to staff the farms of the nation. She is referring to the number of people currently on Medicaid who are classified as “able-bodied.”

What Rollins doesn’t seen to understand is that many able-bodied people receive Medicaid who are not available to work. According to an analysis by the Brookings Institute, Medicaid recipients who would be described as “able-bodied” are mostly those who are caregivers to dependent children, those with disabling mental health conditions, full time students, and those already working 80+ hours per month.

Disenrolling those recipients from Medicaid would result in severe hardships for them and their families, and would save very little money. Does the Trump administration really want the parents of minor children, and those who are caregivers to seniors or other disabled family members, and those with mental health disabilities, to be forced to relocate to farming communities and harvest fruits and vegetables?

Furthermore, the agricultural work that Rollins thinks will be undertaken by those she would strip of Medicaid coverage generally does not provide health insurance to their employees. Consequently, any medical treatment required would not be be paid for, resulting in people not getting necessary care. It would also result in the hospitals providing such care incurring costs that they could not bear and would subsequently shut down, denying care to everyone else that used their services.

The bottom line is that Rollins and Trump are advocating an inhumane policy that would cause profound harm, while saving very little federal funds. The people that the Trump regime is targeting are not freeloaders trying to sponge of the government. They are not slackers playing video games in their mom’s basement. They are honest Americans struggling to make ends meet and to keep themselves and their families healthy.

For some reason, the Trump Republicans are offended by the lesser advantaged of us and thinks that they should be punished and made to suffer more, in order to afford tax breaks for corporations and the wealthy. Very Christian of them, isn’t it?

Pathological Liar! Trump’s 3 Biggest Lies He Told on July 4th – Or Maybe Just the Dumbest

It may not be regarded as news anymore when Donald Trump is caught uttering blatant falsehoods without an iota of shame. He has done it tens of thousands of times since his emergence as a public figure. And sadly, the media has become inured to Trump’s deliberate dishonesty and often neglects to give it the attention it deserves.

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

Trump Lies

Trump’s deceptions are still frequent and more dangerous than ever. They distort everything from national security, to the economy, to law and justice, to health matters, and so much more. And despite the transparency of his untruths, his worshipful cult disciples embrace whatever Dear Leader tells them as if it were gospel. Never mind how maniacally insane and hostile his outbursts have become.

SEE THIS: Trump Goes Bonkers Ranting that Democrats Are ‘Evil, Nasty People Who Hate Our Country’

Not surprisingly, Trump spent the July 4th holiday disgorging his daily quota of lies. Most of them were tangentially related to his signing of the “Big Ugly Bill” (BUB) that will terminate the health insurance of millions of Americans, deprive low income families of food, and finance more fascist apprehensions of migrants. All while cutting taxes for corporations and the wealthy, and exploding the national debt.

Melded into this monstrosity of malice were some of Trump’s most flagrant lies. What follows are three of the most notable. This is not intended to be a comprehensive list. That would be both prohibitively time consuming given the quantity of his lies, and redundant given his penchant for repeating the same lies incessantly. But it is a representative sample of Trump’s psychotic dysfunction.

Let’s begin with Trump’s assertion that the BUB is “the most popular bill ever signed in history.” Not only is that a lie, but the truth is the the complete opposite. It may be the least popular bill ever signed. Every poll shows that American people are steadfastly opposed to it. Even the Fox News poll has it 21 points underwater.

Not only is the #BigUglyBill not "the most popular bill ever signed in history"…

News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-07-05T10:26:59.919Z

Next we have Trump’s claim that his BUB delivers “no tax on Social Security.” Nope. That is not in the bill. While it does have an increased standard deduction that could reduce the tax owed by some recipients, there is no language that exempts Social Security from taxation. Furthermore, the bill ignores the single most impactful reform for Social Security, which would be raising or eliminating the cap on the income subject to FICA withholding. Also, the provisions related to taxes on tips and overtime are temporary, while the tax cuts for the rich are permanent.

Trump blatantly lies that his #BigUglyBill delivers "no tax on social security." That is not in the bill.What's more, the cuts for taxes on tips and overtime are limited and expire in two years. The cuts for corporations and the wealthy are broad and permanent.

News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-07-05T10:23:19.415Z

Finally, Trump unleashed a typically incoherent rant about energy wherein he gushed about what he called “clean, beautiful coal,” while raging over wind, saying that…

“We’re putting up wind, wind. It doesn’t work. I will tell you, aside from ruining our fields and our valleys, killing all the birds, being very weak and very expensive, all made in China. You know, I noticed something, with all of the windmills that China sends us where we waste our money because it’s the most expensive energy – you know they make about 95% of them, wind turbines – I have never seen a wind farm in China. Why is that? Somebody check that out, Tom Emmer will you please check that out.”

So which is it: Is Trump lying, stupid, or both?"China widens wind power lead with new generation record: China's wind farms produced over 100 terawatt hours (TWh) of electricity in March, the highest monthly total ever by a single country."reuters.com/world/china/…

News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-07-05T17:07:19.346Z

For the record, this is what Trump says that he has never seen, as reported by Reuters, China widens wind power lead with new generation record“…

China’s wind farms produced over 100 terawatt hours (TWh) of electricity in March, the highest monthly total ever by a single country and as much as all of Europe and North America combined, data from energy think tank Ember shows.

“The production total was 25% more than during the same month in 2023, and helps extend China’s dominant position as by far the world’s largest renewable energy producer [and is] part of Beijing’s ambitious plan to reach carbon neutrality by 2060.”

So while China is taking the lead in the future of clean energy production and technologies, Trump is ensuring that the U.S. races full speed backwards to the early 1900s when fossil fuels sickened millions of workers and poisoned the environment for everybody else.

These are just a handful of Trump’s horrific distortions of reality. In the same speech he dropped a grossly anti-Semitic slur referring to bankers as “shylock.” He declared that he hates all Democrats, who comprise more than half of the country’s population and about half of their representatives in Congress. And he celebrated the passage of the BUB by accepting a gift of the gavel used by GOP House Speaker, MAGA Mike Johnson, at the close of the vote. Which could not have been a more appropriate symbol of how Congress has subjugated itself to their master and messiah, Trump…

The symbolism of this is just too much.GOP Speaker MAGA Mike Johnson hands over control of the House of Representatives to the aspiring authoritarian Donald Trump as he signs the so-called "Big Beautiful Bill" that the American people oppose.

Trump Plans a UFC Fight at the White House to Bring it More of that Trump Class and Dignity

Following his triumphant mission to terminate health insurance for nearly 12 million Americans, while cutting taxes for billionaires and exploding the national debt, Donald Trump has quickly pivoted to a new project that is certain to shower the nation in the stately grandeur that makes so many citizens proud.

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

During a campaign style rally in Iowa, Trump announced his intention to stage an Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) event at the White House. This is the sort of august affair that is consistent with Trump’s other recent enhancements to the People’s House, such as two giant flag poles, the paving over of the Rose Garden, the hanging of his mugshot paintings, and refurbishing the Oval Office with faux-gold ornaments and décor. All in an effort to encourage pride and patriotism.

SEE THIS: Trump Goes Bonkers Ranting that Democrats Are ‘Evil, Nasty People Who Hate Our Country’

Where would the nation be without Trump’s lofty facade of MAGA-sterial munificence? The elegance that he exudes with every utterance was evident as he thrilled his cult followers at the State Fair in Des Moines with news of his latest sleazy spectacle…

“We’re going to have a UFC fight. Does anybody watch UFC? The great Dana White? We’re going to have a UFC fight. We’re going to have a UFC fight — think of this on the grounds of the White House. We have a lot of land there. We’re going to build a little — we’re not, Dana is going to do it. Dana is great, one of a kind — going to be a UFC fight, championship fight, full fight, like 20,000 to 25,000 people, and we’re going to do that as part of ‘250’ also.”

Trump: "We're gonna have a UFC fight on the grounds on the White House … we're gonna do that as part of 250."

Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-07-04T01:13:18.000Z

What could be more representative of the Era of Trump than a phony sporting event featuring hulk-like contestants in trunks pretending to battle it out to win a humongous, gaudy belt and a dubious title? Maybe Trump himself will enter the contest and win another participation trophy like the dozens he has awarded himself at his own golf courses.

In addition to boosting the classiness of the White House, Trump is rewarding a longtime political ally and financial backer. UFC boss, Dana White, is an old friend and business associate of Trump’s who donated a million dollars to his “America First Action” super?PAC. That political action committee was chaired by Linda McMahon, the former head of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), which is part of the same corporate family as the UFC.

McMahon is also Trump’s current Secretary of Education. Seriously…Education(!?) She recently decreed that, in order for universities to receive federal grants that fund life-saving research on cancer, Alzheimer’s, and other devastating illnesses, they must be “in sync” with the Trump administration. And she is a full fledged member of the Trump cult who giddily participates in his glorification ceremonies…

SUCH AS…Trump Gathers His Cabinet Members to Conduct Another Festival of Feckless Trump-Fluffing

As usual, Trump is bathing America in the sewage of his tacky persona, and exploiting his office to benefit himself and his cronies. He couldn’t care less about the American people or the reputation of the United States as it nears its 250 year anniversary. Count on Trump to make things even worse as the celebration nears and he begins to pitch his 250th birthday bibles, sneakers, and posters of himself as a jacked Uncle Sam.

Jamie Raskin Responds to Big Baby Trump’s Pitifully Infantile Harangue Calling Him an Ugly Dope

The notoriously childish temper of Donald Trump has once again raised it’s bobblehead to whine petulantly about some perceived slight that bruised his tender sensitivities. Nothing is more predictable that the rattled reaction by Trump if his fee-fees have been hurt by a Democrat having the audacity to criticize His MAGA-STY.

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

Donald Trump Pacifier Fox

Whenever Trump is subjected to even the most trivial negative rendering of his severely unstable psychoses, he lashes out with the fearsome ferocity of a terrified gnat caught in a vacated spider web. He is inherently incapable of laughing off a minor affront or tolerating the insolence of someone daring to disagree with him.

SEE THIS: What 1st Amendment? Trump Threatens to Prosecute CNN for Imaginary Crimes Against Dear Leader

Consequently, the stage was set when Democratic Rep. Jaime Raskin had a few unflattering observations about Trump’s “Big Ugly Bill” that he just shoved down the throats of his Republican colleagues in Congress – not to mention the rest of America and the world. Raskin took to the well of the House of Representatives to reveal what he mockingly called the “preamble” to the GOP legislation, saying that…

“We the billionaires and our king, in order to deform and sicken our union, establish injustice, ensure domestic servility, weaken our people’s defenses, undermine the general welfare, and reserve to ourselves and posterity, staggering debt servitude for eternity…

“…due hereby instruct the Republicans in Congress to strip 17 million people of their healthcare, increase copays, premiums and deductibles for everyone else, cut 42 million people off of nutritional assistance, increase the national debt by $4 trillion, trash renewable energy systems, increase our electric bills for the carbon kings, all to weaken and destroy the Constitution of the people of these United States of America.”

The GOP's Medicaid-busting tax scheme is filled with poison pills antithetical to the values of our people. So I wrote a proper preamble for their big, ugly bill.

Rep. Jamie Raskin (@raskin.house.gov) 2025-07-02T16:57:10.540Z

Well, that was enough for Trump to go off halfcocked with a tantrum on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. He unleashed a load bile that a seven year old would have been embarrassed to say aloud. Trump raged that…

“Rep. Jamie Raskin, a third rate Democrat politician, has no idea what is in our fantastic Tax Cut Bill, nor would he understand it if he did. This DOPE has been consistently losing to me for YEARS, and I love watching his ugly face as he is forced to consistently concede DEFEAT TO TRUMP — And tonight should be another of those nights. Raskin is a bad politician, and a TOTAL LOSER!”

First of all, Rep. Raskin has a far better idea of what’s in the bill than Trump. And not just because he read it, while Trump probably used it as coaster for his Diet Coke. As for understanding it, Raskin graduated Magna Cum Laude from Harvard Law School, where he was an editor of the Harvard Law Review. He was a constitutional professor prior to being elected to Congress. He is currently the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee.

However, something that surely sticks in Trump’s wrinkled craw is that Raskin was the lead impeachment manager for Trump’s second impeachment that addressed the violent insurrection that he incited on January 6, 2021.

There is really no need to delve into Trump’s infantile insults of Raskin as a “dope” or as “ugly” or as a “loser.” Those are just more examples of Trump seeing himself in the people that he despises. It’s called projection. And along with his malignant narcissism, is one of the more obvious psychological maladies that he appears to suffer from.

Following Trump’s online outburst, Raskin offered up his own replies. In one he responded to Trump’s tweet directly referencing Trump’s stunted emotional growth, or lack thereof…

Raskin also addressed the Crybaby-in-Chief during an interview on Lawrence O’Donnell’s MSNBC program, where he demonstrated how an adult behaves when confronted by cranky 79 year old toddler…

Raskin: "I suppose I don't mind being called a loser several times by Trump, given that he's our only president who has lost the popular vote in two different elections and the last time, when he lost by more than 7 million votes to Biden, it upset him so much that he incited an insurrection"

Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-07-03T02:41:47.529Z

There is a lot to be worried about with Trump having resumed his occupation of the White House. He is obliterating the economy. He is goading other nations into war. He is orchestrating a fascist reshaping of American law and order. And he is clamping down on the free press that is guaranteed in the Constitution’s First Amendment. On the plus side, he is motivating the progressive resistance.

With all of that going down, it may seem frivolous to focus on this sort attack by Trump on a member of Congress. But it is all connected. The same mental dysfunction that drives Trump to bully his political foes, is what produces his dangerously ignorant and self-serving policies. And the only solution is for him to be removed from office as quickly as possible. Or at least neutered. Y’all up for a third Impeachment? 25th Amendment? LFG!

What 1st Amendment? Trump Threatens to Prosecute CNN for Imaginary Crimes Against Dear Leader

The determination of Donald Trump to exert tyrannical control over the media that he despises has taken another turn for the worse. He is now not only insulting them as “fake” news, or demeaning them as “the enemy of the people,” or suing them on preposterous charges of defamation. He has escalated his wrath to outright threats of prosecution.

Donald Trump, CNN

Bear in mind that Trump has not identified any actual crime that anyone in the press has committed. He has never needed any such trivialities as prosecutable offenses to backup his wild accusations. Trump merely babbles maniacally about some imagined illegality and expects his cult devotees to follow blindly.

SEE THIS: Trump Cult Priestess, Karoline Leavitt, Preaches the Divine Infallibility of Dear Leader

Trump participated in a staged photo-op in Florida to visit a new migrant detention facility that features alligator infested surrounding waters. Of course, the alligators have no impact whatsoever on the security of the facility. But the gruesome cruelty of the notion of migrants – including children – being ripped to shreds delights the sickly morbidity of the MAGA crowd.

During the press conference Trump was asked questions about some of his other inhumane and unconstitutional mass deportation initiatives. One in particular addressed a news report by CNN about a publicly available app that advised people of where ICE agents were conducting operations. Which led to the following exchange…

Question: CNN yesterday pushed an app that lets you track where ICE agents are. [Border czar] Tom Homan said that perhaps CNN should be prosecuted for that. Your Thoughts?
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem: We’re working with the Department of Justice to see if we can prosecute them for that. Because what they’re doing is actively encouraging people to avoid law enforcement activities, operations, and we’re going to actually go after them and prosecute with the partnership of [Attorney General] Pam [Bondi] if we can, because what they are doing we believe is illegal.
Trump: And they may very well be prosecuted also for having given false reports on the attack in Iran. They were given totally false reports.

Trump on CNN: "They may be prosecuted also for having given false reports on the attack in Iran."

Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-07-01T15:26:14.748Z

DHS Secretary Noem’s assertion that CNN engaged in some illegal activity has no basis in reality. They are entirely within their rights to report on the existence of an app that is available for anyone to download. That is journalism, not promotion. They never “encouraged” anyone to use the app. And it’s purpose is merely to notify the public about activities that ICE agents are openly engaging in. Which is also legal.

Trump went further – and wildly off-topic – to threaten CNN with prosecution for “having given false reports on the attack in Iran.” Once again, it is only Trump’s opinion that the reports were false. CNN derived the information from Trump’s own intelligence team. As previously reported, Trump’s Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, complained about CNN for…

“…accurately reporting what Trump’s own intel professionals said about the results of the air strikes. They revealed that, according to the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Pentagon’s intelligence arm, Iran’s nuclear capabilities had only been damaged partially, and that they could be rebuilt within months.”

So CNN’s reporting was correct. However, even if it were not, that isn’t illegal either. News organizations are allowed to make make mistakes, and corrections when necessary. In this case it wasn’t necessary. But if Trump still wasn’t satisfied, he could file another wholly unwarranted lawsuit for defamation. But he cannot issue criminal indictments. CNN replied to these anti-constitutional threats saying that…

“There is nothing illegal about reporting the existence of this or any other app, nor does such reporting constitute promotion or other endorsement of the app by CNN.”

Trump’s use of intimidation against the media is more proof of his penchant for fascism. He would love to throw journalists in jail for reporting the truth about him. He has also been threatening political foes with arrest. Just in the past 48 hours he has mused about arresting Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic candidate for mayor of New York City, and Alejandro Mayorkas, the former Secretary of Homeland Security, and he indicated his openness to deporting Elon Musk, his former BFF and DOGE chief.

Trump’s threats of prosecuting journalists, along with his civil litigation, are long standing obsessions that reveal his hatred of the Constitution and its First Amendment protections. And it is a troubling signal of his intentions to control the media and form a fascist regime that won’t tolerate a free press or free thought. At this point in the process, he isn’t even trying to hide it. Which means that it is more imperative than ever to resist him and his authoritarian aspirations. The welfare of the country is at stake.

Trump’s Press Secretary Obediently Parrots Dear Leader’s Lie that Zohran Mamdani is a Communist

The role of the White House press secretary used to be to inform the public about the president’s policies, initiatives, schedule, and opinions. It was a position that respected the critical part that journalists play in sustaining democracy, and cherished the Constitution’s First Amendment protection of the free press.

Donald Trump Yelling at Karoline Leavitt

Sadly, in the Era of Trump, the press secretary has become just another functionary mouthpiece for the Kremlin-like Politburo that Trump has formed in the West Wing of the White House. Trump’s current Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, has distinguished herself as a reliable purveyor of partisan bullpucky as she transforms the irregular press briefings into a platform for the ultra-rightist MAGA ministry and shameless Trump-fluffing Internet trolls.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Press Secretary Pledges to Plant Pro-Trump Crackpots in the White House Press Room

On Monday morning Leavitt was asked about the recently elected Democratic candidate for mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani. Her response was typically littered with lies. But she went even farther down the rabid hole to smear Mamdani as a communist who condemns American values, saying that he is…

“Someone who is quite literally a communist and condemns every value that makes this country great, common sense, law and order, low taxes, working hard, earning your keep in this country, he is against all of that, and I think the president would find it difficult to work with someone like that if he is elected.”

Leavitt’s rant is spectacularly absurd and dishonest. First of all, Mamdani is not a communist. But you have to forgive Leavitt because she surely couldn’t define the word if her life depended on it. She is simply regurgitating the words of her master, Donald the Demented, who has called Mamdani “a 100% Communist Lunatic.” Trump has even blatant lied that Mamdani admitted to being a communist, which he never did. However, Trump virtually admitted to his own intention to act like a communist dictator by promising that, if Mamdani is elected, “he’s gonna have to do the right thing or they’re not getting any money.”

Trump actually believes that the federal treasury is his personal piggy bank, and he can disburse funds as he sees fit to his friends, or withhold them from his foes. For him to malign anyone else as communist is pure projection. He is accusing others of what he himself is doing.

Throughout the few short months of his second occupation of the White House, Trump has patterned himself after his heroes, Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Kim Jong Un. His immigration thugs capturing migrants and sending them to foreign gulags; his Justice Department indicting Democrats and firing attorneys who prosecuted Trump or his allies; his hostility toward the media that he regards as “the enemy of the people;” these are all behaviors of a wannabe tyrant.

In addition to Leavitt’s ignorant name-calling, she is also open to the bizarre and racist idea of denaturalizing Mamdani so that they can deport him. Once again, that’s the way that dictators solve political problems. So naturally the Trump administration is exploring it. And it may be what we should expect in the upcoming elections in 2026 and 2028.

What’s more, Trump is not only interested in deporting his opponents, he also believes that he could run for a third term, despite the Constitution prohibiting it. And yet, he is accusing Mamdani of being a communist? All of this would make for a terrible movie plot, because no one would consider it believable. But somehow, Republicans still don’t think that Trump is unfit for office. What would he have to do to convince them? Screw a porn star? Get a jet from Qatar? Shoot somebody on 5th Avenue?

Trump Goes Bonkers Ranting that Democrats Are ‘Evil, Nasty People Who Hate Our Country’

The deteriorating mental state of Donald Trump is becoming impossible to ignore, even for some of his most ardent sycophants. Not that they will muster the courage to challenge him. But there is clearly a widening gap between the explosive dia-rhetoric that Trump is disgorging, and what passes for reality amongst the rest of his party, and more broadly, the rest of America.

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

Donald Trump

The unmooring of what remains of Trump’s sanity has been evident in his raving and deranged outbursts regarding the promotion of his wildly unpopular, so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” (BBB), that adds billions to the deficit and removes millions from their health insurance. It’s evident in the delusional math that he applies to his tariffs, that will be paid by American companies and consumers. It’s evident in his hype following the bombing of Iran, that he says “completely obliterated” their nuclear facilities, in contradiction of independent analysis and even his own intelligence staff.

Trump is so far removed from the real world that only his most devoted cult followers can accept his ludicrous lapses of cognition.

SEE THIS: Trump Cult Priestess, Karoline Leavitt, Preaches the Divine Infallibility of Dear Leader

In a late night bout of hysterics on Saturday, Trump unleashed a rambling, incoherent eruption of animus toward his perceived enemies, who always seem to be fellow Americans. On this occasion it was Democrats who oppose his “Big Ugly Bullsh*t” that were on the receiving end of his unhinged wrath. He posted a comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, that was typical of his fevered hate-speech, saying that

“Republicans must remember that they are fighting against a very evil, corrupt and, in many ways, incompetent (Policywise!) group of people.”

It’s notable that Trump only speaks this way about Americans. He would never say such things about Vladimir Putin or Xi Jinping. He went on lie that…

“The Democrats would LOVE to see the Biggest Tax Hike in History (68%!), No Border Spending (Open Borders!), and a weak, underfunded Military.”

Of course, none of that remotely resembles anything that Democrats have advocated. It’s all inventions of Trump’s diseased mind. And he wasn’t finished. He added a bizarre complaint that Democrats “have House and Senate Rules that give Great Power to their Leaders – Committee Chairmanships.” But as Democrats are currently in the minority in Congress, they aren’t making the rules and they have no committee chairmanships at all.

Trump then segued to bragging about his fellow MAGA Republicans that he said are “wonderful people and phenomenal Policy, and that should win Elections every single time!” That came as he was simultaneously trashing GOP senators Thom Tillis and Rand Paul for not voting for his BBB. Then Trump posted another comment railing against Democrats “because they’re nasty people who actually hate our Country.”

Trump’s demeaning of Democrats as hating the country is another example of his psychotic projection, wherein he accuses others of having his own emotional maladies. Trump has demonstrated repeatedly that he has a propensity for hatred. He hates the Constitution that he regularly dismisses and defiles. He hates America’s allies, but loves its enemies. But most of all, he hates his fellow Americans. Whether they be Democrats, Republicans, or independents. Why else would push legislation down our throats that majorities of the people don’t want?

This is what the America people think of the so-called "Big Beautiful Bill" that Trump and the GOP are shoving down the nation's throat. Note that even the Fox News poll has it underwater by 21 points.

FIRE EVERYONE! Trump Rages Over Accurate Reporting of Intelligence Regarding His Iran Bombing

In the wake of the bombing mission that Donald Trump ordered allegedly to rid Iran of nuclear weapons capabilities, the media had the audacity to do their job and report on what was known about the mission and its results. That, of course, drove Trump crazy, because the last thing he ever wants is for the truth about his often reckless escapades being exposed to the light of day.

Donald Trump

In Trump World it is never permitted to do or say anything critical of Dear Leader. His every word is to be regarded as if gospel, and every act must be glorified with the enthusiasm of an adoring apostle. That’s evident in the worshipful testimony delivered by his devoted propaganda purveyors.

On Thursday Trump underwent a severe mental breakdown triggered by the press that he hates and regularly maligns as “the enemy of the people.” In a barrage of rancid posts to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, Trump unleashed a series of demands that journalists he doesn’t like be fired. He seems to think that he’s still on “The Apprentice” and can axe people from his program at will.

The primary target of Trump’s wrath was CNN’s Pentagon correspondent, Natasha Bertrand. Trump began his harangue by lashing out at her on Wednesday saying that…

“Natasha Bertrand should be FIRED from CNN! I watched her for three days doing Fake News. She should be IMMEDIATELY reprimanded, and then thrown out ‘like a dog.'” [And that] “She lied on the Laptop from Hell Story, and now she lied on the Nuclear Sites Story, attempting to destroy our Patriot Pilots by making them look bad…She should not be allowed to work at Fake News CNN….FIRE NATASHA!”

First of all, does anyone really believe that Trump watched CNN for three days? Setting that aside, Trump’s claim that she lied is…well, a lie. She reported what she was told by Trump’s own Defense Department Intelligence Agency. Trump even later admitted that. Although he complained that the DIA assessment was preliminary. Which Bertrand reported saying that “The analysis of the damage to the sites and the impact of the strikes on Iran’s nuclear ambitions is ongoing, and could change as more intelligence becomes available.”

Trump tried to spin this story as an attack on the pilots who flew the mission to Iran. Which is pure bullpucky. He also dredged up a five year old complaint about Hunter Biden’s laptop, which was also correctly reported by Bertrand. Then on Thursday, Trump continued his tantrum with several posts demanding the termination of many more reporters. He whined that…

Rumor is that the Failing New York Times and Fake News CNN will be firing the reporters who made up the FAKE stories on the Iran Nuclear sites because they got it so wrong. Lets see what happens?”

And that…

One of the greatest, most professional, and most ‘confirming’ News Conferences I have ever seen! The Fake News should fire everyone involved in this Witch Hunt, and apologize to our great warriors, and everyone else!”

And that…

FAKE NEWS REPORTERS FROM CNN & THE NEW YORK TIMES SHOULD BE FIRED, IMMEDIATELY!!! BAD PEOPLE WITH EVIL INTENTIONS!!!”

And in a major escalation of his insanity, with zero evidence, Trump fumed that…

The Democrats are the ones who leaked the information on the PERFECT FLIGHT to the Nuclear Sites in Iran. They should be prosecuted!

Former Fox News host Pete Hegseth, who is currently playacting as Trump’s Secretary of Defense, held a press scolding Thursday morning, wherein he whined about the media in a manner that would embarrass an eight year old. During that reality TV-style melodrama, Hegseth chastised his former Fox News colleague, Jennifer Griffin, who wasn’t havin’ his asininity. And he demonstrated his pitiful lack of historical knowledge of American warfare…

This is a great example of how everything in Trump world dials up the hyperbole to preposterous levels, where whatever Trump does is the BESTEST in the history of humanity!Hegseth apparently never heard of D-Day, or Hiroshima, or Desert Storm, or getting Osama bin Laden.

What Trump and his minions are making abundantly clear is that they do not want any credible journalism to be practiced in this country. They regard news reporting as unpatriotic if it isn’t gushing with praise for Trump. But nothing is more patriotic than reporters who speak truth to power.

Unfortunately, Trump’s hatred of the Constitution’s First Amendment is all too apparent in his attempts to get journalists fired when they are less than reverential supplicants to His MAGA-STY. Consequently, this country needs bold journalists now more than ever.

Trump Cult Priestess, Karoline Leavitt, Preaches the Divine Infallibility of Dear Leader

The MAGA movement led by America’s moronic messiah, Donald Trump, has become a crusade of carnival acts that have transcended the bounds of parody. With each new day they provide more proof that there truly is no bottom to their farcical feats of lunacy.

Donald Trump and Karoline Leavitt

Consistent with the mission of every other cult, the MAGA missionaries are deeply focused on advancing the measure of devotion that is felt by their followers. To that end, the Pharisees of Trumpism fan out across the media to spread their message and corral their faithful and to harden their belief in him no matter how deranged.

On Wednesday Trump dispatched his high priestesses of propaganda to proselytize the masses. His press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, took up her regular post on Fox News, where she appears more often than she does in the White House press briefing room. While there she disgorged the doctrine of Trump as it related to his recent bombing campaign in Iran…

“No other president in history could have ever dreamed of such a success. And that’s exactly why the fake news media is now trying to demean and undermine the president. And we’ve seen this playbook be run before. You have hostile actors within the intelligence community who illegally leak bits and pieces of an intelligence assessment to push a fake news narrative.

Leavitt: "No other president in history could have ever dreamed of such a success, & that's exactly why the fake news media is now trying to demean & undermine POTUS…it was written by the exact same CNN reporter who wrote the original story falsely alleging the Hunter laptop was Russian disinfo"

Leavitt’s description of Trump’s Iran adventurism as a success that “No other president in history could have ever dreamed of,” is patently absurd, and further evidence of the cultish rhetoric employed by Trump’s minions. From there Leavitt dived into an extend rant against CNN for accurately reporting what Trump’s own intel professionals said about the results of the air strikes. They revealed that, according to the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Pentagon’s intelligence arm, Iran’s nuclear capabilities had only been damaged partially, and that they could be rebuilt within months.

“The US military strikes on three of Iran’s nuclear facilities last weekend did not destroy the core components of the country’s nuclear program and likely only set it back by months, according to an early US intelligence assessment that was described by seven people briefed on it.”

Leavitt went on to complain about a five year old story reported by CNN and others about Hunter Biden’s laptop and the verified associations with Russian disinformation operations. Leavitt falsely claimed that the story was false, and that therefore, her assertion that “Trump completely and totally obliterated the capability of Iran to produce a nuclear weapon” was true. She insisted that “the American public are smarter than this” And on that score, Leavitt may be right. Because a recent poll found that…

“Americans disapprove of the strikes, 56% to 44%, according to the survey, with strong disapproval outpacing the share who strongly approve. Most distrust Trump’s decision-making on the use of force in Iran, with about 6 in 10 worried that the strikes will increase the Iranian threat to the US.”

Meanwhile, Trump himself was freaking out about the reporting on what he was trying to sell as an unqualified success. So naturally he lashed out out viciously at the media saying that “CNN is scum. MSDNC is scum. The New York Times is scum. They are bad people. They’re sick.”

Good morning, America.Your President is in Europe. It is not possible to fully articulate how much this man embarrasses the US on a global stage.“We have scum that’s in this group. CNN is scum. MSDNC is scum. The New York Times is scum. They are bad people. They're sick.”

Trump followed up that harangue with one aimed directly at the author of one of CNN’s stories. He posted the following on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social

“Natasha Bertrand should be FIRED from CNN! I watched her for three days doing Fake News. She should be IMMEDIATELY reprimanded, and then thrown out ‘like a dog.’ … She should not be allowed to work at Fake News CNN … FIRE NATASHA!”

That’s another lovely example of Trump’s commitment to free speech and the Constitution’s explicit protection of the free press. He believes that it is appropriate for an American president to demand the termination of journalists that he doesn’t like. Which isn’t surprising considering that he has several lawsuits pending against media companies because they dared to report actual news that has hurt his tender feelings and bruised his fragile ego. Poor baby.

Trump Lashes Out at Democratic Women of Color as ‘Stupid’ Because They Dare to Defy Dear Leader

In the aftermath of Donald Trump’s bombing of Iran, there has been little to justify what was a dubiously sourced mission in the first place. His own Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, testified before Congress that there was no evidence that Iran was developing nuclear weapons. But Trump humiliated her and the broader intelligence community by declaring that they were all wrong.

Donald Trump, MAGA

You have to wonder where Trump was getting his information about Iran if it wasn’t from the intel professionals that worked for him. Nevertheless, he pulled out all the stops to glorify himself and his faulty decision making by dispatching the minions of his regime to the media in a futile effort to deceive the American people.

SEE THIS: The Trump Regime’s Post-Iran Bombing Propaganda Party is a Sputtering Dud

Trump himself was the Liar-in-Chief as he unloaded preposterous defenses of his military adventurism. For instance he falsely declared that Iran’s nuclear facilities were “obliterated” before there was any credible damage assessment. And he told reporters that the ceasefire between Israel and Iran was complete and would “go forever.” It didn’t last but a few hours.

Trump throws a tantrum because Israel and Iran aren't obeying his demands to end their decades long hostilities. He whines: "they don't know what the fuck they're doing."Trump said just yesterday that the ceasefire would "go forever." Which proves that it's Trump who doesn't know what he's doing.

On Tuesday morning Trump threw another infantile temper tantrum aimed at a trio of his sworn archenemies who just happen to all be Democratic women of color. The comment that he posted to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, maligned Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Jasmine Crockett, and Ilhan Omar, with puerile insults to their intelligence. Trump raged that…

“Stupid AOC, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, one of the ‘dumbest’ people in Congress, is now calling for my Impeachment, despite the fact that the Crooked and Corrupt Democrats have already done that twice before.”

Demeaning women of color as “stupid” is a regular part of Trump’s racist rhetoric. However, AOC is only calling for Trump to be impeached because he initiated a war without the consent of Congress as required by the Constitution. And his having been impeached twice before seems like a peculiar thing to remind everyone about in the wake of his new impeachable offenses. But Trump was only just getting started. He continued…

“When we examine [AOC’s] Test Scores, we will find out that she is NOT qualified for office but, nevertheless, far more qualified than [Jasmine] Crockett, who is a seriously Low IQ individual, or Ilhan Omar, who does nothing but complain about our Country. […] How dare ‘The Mouse’ tells us how to run the United States of America!”

Trump doesn’t mention what test scores he’s referring to. But he might want to stop threatening the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania to prevent them from releasing his grades. Let’s have some of that transparency that he likes to yammer about.

Although Trump did use this part of his comment to add Crockett and Omar to his hate post. It is no coincidence that all of his targets are women of color. He has exhibited this rancid racism innumerable times before. Often with journalists such as Yamiche Alcindor, Abby Phillip, and April Ryan. And let’s not forget that he said the same things about Kamala Harris. They just all happen to be stupid women in his eyes. Then he went further saying that…

“AOC should be forced to take the Cognitive Test that I just completed at Walter Reed Medical Center, as part of my Physical. As the Doctor in charge said, ‘President Trump ACED it,’ meaning, I got every answer right.”

Trump keeps repeating this lie about having “aced” a cognitive test. It was actually just a test to ascertain any early signs cognitive illness, wherein he was asked to perform simple functions such as counting backwards and identifying an elephant. The fact that he’s so proud of having succeeded in that is itself cause to worry about his mental acuity.

Trump closed with a challenge to “go ahead and try Impeaching me, again, MAKE MY DAY!” That’s a challenge that Democrats must accept. The case against him is extraordinarily strong.

Unfortunately, that doesn’t mean that Republicans in the Senate will vote in accordance with the law and the Constitution. They still seem to be too enrapt in the cult sway of Trumpism. But the effort is necessary regardless. If only to insure that there is a historical record of Trump’s malfeasance in office.
