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. 0 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.

Trump’s FCC Boss (Fascist Communications Czar) Tells Fox News He is ‘Looking Into’ Fake Polls

Posted by on September 6, 2026 at 2:51 pm. 1 Comments :

In the decade that Donald Trump has been in politics, he has distinguished himself as the most media averse president of all time. He has taken unprecedented actions to censor the free press, insulted journalists for doing their jobs, and whined incessantly about his paranoid perception of being a victim of what he routinely calls the “fake news.”

Donald Trump and Media - ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, FOX

Recently Trump was ticked off by a segment on Meet the Press during which the host, Kristen Welker, accurately pointed out that Trump’s record of endorsements was a “mixed bag” due to many of his preferred candidates losing their primary races. In response to Welker’s reporting Trump proposed a vengeful penalty that he has no legal authority to dispense.

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

Trump’s proposal was typical of his hyperactive overreach that demonstrates his ignorance of, and disrespect for, the Constitution and its First Amendment protection for the free press. Neither he nor his FCC have any jurisdiction to punish journalists, particularly when they are right.

On Sunday morning Trump and his nursemaid, Natalie Harp, were busy with what he regards as his primary presidential duties of posting goofy memes on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. They included AI slopix of himself horseback riding with George Washington, Robert De Niro with a Trump t-shirt, renaming New Mexico to New America, Joe Biden in a Trump hat, Trump as Hulk Hogan, and 31 more deranged fantasies. I sure hope hope it doesn’t cut into his golf game.

Meanwhile, Trump’s FCC boss, Brendan Carr, was on Fox News doing what he does best: disseminating Trumpist propaganda. Carr was interviewed by Fox’s Peter Doocy who asked whether Trump had actually reported Welker to him for her punishment. Carr began his reply with a tediously long word salad that had nothing to do with the question. But he eventually weaved his way back to provide an answer that came a little closer to being responsive.

“There is a lot of interest right now in fake polls that are out there. So the FCC may put guidance out soon to remind broadcasters about their obligations with respect to not airing fake polls. Particularly if they’re done to suppress people heading into the fall.”

FCC Chair Brendan Carr on Trump calling for Kristen Welker to receive "punishment" for accurately saying he has a mixed record on endorsements: "I think President Trump is over the target, and we are looking at a lot of actions"

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-09-06T15:19:13.294Z

WTF is he talking about? The FCC has no role whatsoever in the collection of data, or subsequent results of, public polling. It cannot make determinations as to whether they are accurate or fake. And it definitely can’t enforce any sort of “guidance” as to how they are conducted or reported. The FCC is not an official censorship agency that can muzzle the media. Particularly if it’s done to suppress information from people heading into the fall.

Broadcasters have no “obligations” as to how they report polls, outside of their own standards and practices set by their editors and executives. The worst parties to assume that authority would be those in government. That’s how dictatorships control the media and suppress the freedom that American journalists have had for 250 years.

Trump and Carr are behaving like the tyrannical despots they admire in Russia, China, and North Korea. However, the only people that should be subject to punishment are Trump and his White House flunkies who are violating the Constitution.

Trump’s obsession with what he calls fake polls stems from his knowledge that those polls are accurate. And illegally obstructing broadcasters from reporting on them doesn’t change the facts that they represent. Trump and his criminal regime are broadly despised and they are going down.

Donald ‘Bone Spurs’ Trump Changes Name of Department of War to Department of Small Potatoes

Posted by on September 5, 2026 at 2:02 pm. 1 Comments :

Ever since Donald Trump descended from his he Golden Elevator in Trump Tower he has struggled fervently to present an image of himself as a “Macho Man.” Perhaps the best evidence that he has never succeeded in that quest is that he didn’t bother to use that Village People song as his theme, opting instead for “YMCA.”

Donald Trump, Saving Cadet Bone Spurs

Trump’s idea of masculinity is woefully limited to bragging incessantly about himself, casting infantile insults at others (mostly women), and barking out inane orders to his military commanders to embark on pointless missions that result in nothing but causing great harm to innocent people. And all the while, he will never accept any responsibility for his incompetence.

SEE THIS: Trump Blasts the Republican Party, Whining ‘They Don’t Fully Grasp How Badly They Are F*ing Up’

The harm that Trump causes has a sweeping effect on the lives of millions. Domestically it severely impacts the American people by exacerbating inflation. Internationally it poisons the nation’s relationships with our allies. But the most painful consequence of Trump’s aberrant ego and ineptitude has fallen on American soldiers.

When Trump launched his reckless and illegal war against Iran he said that it wouldn’t last more than a few weeks. That was six months ago. To date there have been 18 American fatalities and nearly 800 troops injured. But Trump has a despicably careless attitude toward those heroes. As reported by the Associated Press…

“President Donald Trump on Friday said the conflict in Iran is ‘small potatoes’ as he defended Vice President JD Vance for asserting that months of on-and-off attacks in the Middle East are not a ‘war.’ […] ‘I can understand what he’s saying,’ said Trump. He added: ‘I call it a military conflict because it’s small potatoes for us. It’s not a big thing.'”

Well, that’s good to know. To the “commander-in-chief” who never served – who is in fact a five-time draft dodger – this war is “small potatoes.” That tracks with his prior commentaries on fallen and wounded soldiers who he called “suckers and losers,” including the late Sen. John McCain, who spent six years in a North Vietnamese prison camp, and about whom Trump said that he “likes people who weren’t captured.”

Trump’s disregard for the soldiers he is supposed to be in charge of is profoundly repulsive. But it’s also predictable. It is a reflection of his sociopathic personality disorder. He doesn’t give a damn about anyone but himself. And to him the concept of war is nothing more than a game that he can exploit to try to improve his abhorrent image. How else can he justify making a Fox News yakker, Pete Hegseth, the Secretary of…um…Small Potatoes?

However, Trump even fails at that. The guy who changed the name of the Department of Defense to the Department of War – because he thinks it makes him look tough – can’t keep straight whether his misadventures in Iran are a war or not. Perhaps he will consider renaming it again to the Department of Small Potatoes. Today he calls whatever he’s doing in Iran “a military conflict.” But literally yesterday he called it a war – twice…

Trump keeps describing victory in Iran as a "Trump WIN."His ego is out of control. Particularly since he is responsible for America losing. He should never have started the war. Or put Pete Hegseth, a Fox News flunky, in charge of it. He is the TDS poster child.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-09-04T16:51:24.074Z

Notice that in the process of labelling this a war, Trump also insulted Democrats and characterized a victory as being for himself. And he has the gall to say that other people suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome?

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.

Lying Bigot Mike Johnson Says Iranians Can’t Be Trusted Because Lying is ‘Part of Their Religion’

Posted by on September 1, 2026 at 4:53 pm. 0 Comments :

The Republican Party has long been the home of racists and hate mongers who openly advocate discrimination and white supremacy. They welcome organizations like the Ku Klux Klan into their political family and unabashedly campaign for their votes.

Donald Trump and Mike Johnson

Much of the official Republican agenda is based on policies that profess intolerance for minorities. Lately they have been fixated on eliminating programs that enhance diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in employment, education, housing, etc. And naturally, Donald Trump is the leader of this hateful movement.

SEE THIS: Trump Reveals that He is a Bipartisan Racist in a Pair of Disgusting Truth Social Posts

Faithfully following Trump’s lead is his flunky in the House of Representatives, GOP Squeaker MAGA Mike Johnson. On Tuesday morning Johnson held a press briefing where he affirmed his putrid prejudices. He was asked about the war in Iran that Trump has been losing for six months and still has no plan for getting out. Johnson said that…

“The problem is – and the reason we’ve been frustrated is – the Iranians cannot be trusted. They’ll sit at the negotiation table and say something, then walk away and do the opposite. For some of them it’s apparently part of their religion that they can just lie to someone they disagree with.”

It’s rather impressive how much repulsiveness Johnson can squeeze into such a short comment. Most notable is the flaming bigotry of his assertion that it is part of Iranians’ religion to lie. It’s an especially disgusting remark considering that Johnson himself professes to be a devout Christian, while also being a pathological liar.

The pathological lying is a trait that Johnson shares with Trump. Which makes Johnson’s accusation that Iran can’t be trusted all the more preposterous. It was Trump who tore up an agreement between the United States and Iran that had successfully prohibited any efforts by Iran to acquire nuclear weapons. And that deal, made by President Obama, was accomplished without going to war, killing thousands of people, spending billions of dollars, and wrecking the economy of the U.S., and the world.

By breaking that deal Trump not only released Iran from their promise not to seek nuclear weapons, but he also did severe damage to the reputation of the U.S. for trustworthiness. Both of those results make the world a more dangerous place. Not that Trump cares. It has likely made him richer.

For his part, Johnson is acting out his role as a Trump disciple who has surrendered the constitutional authority of the House of Representatives to the aspiring authoritarian occupying the White House. He’s more than happy to see American democracy crumble during his tenure as Speaker. So if anyone cannot be trusted, it’s Mike Johnson. and the sooner that he is removed from power the better. And the same goes for Trump.

HUH? Trump Gives a Truly Stupid Answer to a Question He Said Was Stupid and Would Never Answer

Posted by on August 31, 2026 at 4:43 pm. 1 Comments :

The intelligence of Donald Trump is not a particularly debatable subject. There is a reason that he fiercely guards his college transcripts, threatening anyone who might make them public. Someone with academic accomplishments would welcome the release, if only to show off how smart they are.

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

Donald Trump WTF

Trump’s resistance regarding his grades is not unlike his position on the release of the Epstein files. Once again, an innocent person would welcome being exonerated by their release. So why is Trump – and his MAGA minions in Congress – so adamant about keeping them sealed?

SEE THIS: Why Won’t Republicans Release the Epstein Files That They Keep Insisting Will Exonerate Trump?

On Monday morning Trump held a press avail to lie about something or other. It hardly matters anymore what excuse he gives for these public appearance, because he just swerves off topic to whine about whatever is irking him at the moment.

During this event Trump was confronted by a question that stirred his typical state of cognitive confusion and inability to respond coherently. The question was asked by a female reporter, Libbey Dean of NewsNation, a right-leaning network. Nevertheless, because it’s in his nature, Trump insulted her…

Dean: Have you ruled out using a nuclear weapon on Iran?
Trump: I would never say that but the answer is yes. There is no reason for it. What a stupid question. They’re totally defeated and now I should use a nuclear weapon on them? What a stupid question.

Trump’s predictable misogyny won’t surprise anybody. But his answer is another example of just how mentally deficient he is. Notice that he began by saying that he “would never say that.” Then he immediately added that “the answer is yes.” So he actually did answer a question that he just said he would never answer. And he has the gall to call Dean – or anyone else – stupid?

That, however, isn’t where his stupidity ends. The rest of his reply was to say that there is no need to use a nuclear weapon on Iran because they are already defeated. Which will come as shock to Iran (who still controls the Strait of Hormuz and are retaliating militarily), the American people (who are still suffering economically, and whose family members are still deployed), and the world (whose access to oil, and the plethora of products that rely on it, remains obstructed).

Trump’s reply is also rather idiotic considering that he is now in the sixth month of this war with no end in sight. And he keeps saying that Iran is defeated and has no ability to fight back. Trump “brags” that they have no army, no navy, no air force, no money, and no leadership. So then why can’t he defeat them after all these months? That doesn’t seem like something to brag about. He’s like a cat that’s too dumb to catch a dead mouse.

UPDATE: The day after these remarks Trump demonstrated his weakness and desperation by reversing himself and openly threatening to nuke Iran, massacring millions of innocent people in Iran and neighboring countries.

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

Posted by on August 30, 2026 at 1:55 pm. 1 Comments :

The most media averse president in the history of the United States, Donald Trump, is once again demonstrating his inbred hostility to the free press and the Constitution that explicitly protects it in the very First Amendment.

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

Donald Trump

What America’s founders saw as an indispensable facet of freedom and democracy, Trump sees as “the enemy of the people,” a phrase that he borrowed from Joseph Stalin. He insults journalists personally in the most vile and infantile manner, and disparages the entire industry as “fake News.” It’s another symptom of the severe delusional impairment that permeates everything he does or says.

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

On Sunday morning Trump was busy doing what he regards as his presidential duties: posting deranged rants on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. And true to form, many of those rants concerned the media that he despises. Consequently, he led off with a short harangue whining that…

“THE FAKE POLLS USED BY OUR CROOKED MEDIA ARE OUT OF CONTROL, AND SOMETHING MUST BE DONE ABOUT IT. FCC TO THE RESCUE!”

That’s right. Trump is outraged by all the polls that show him floundering in the depths of the Mariana Trench of Disapproval. To be sure, he has sunk to record lows in virtually every poll, and continues to trend downward. So now he insists that “SOMETHING MUST BE DONE,” and that it’s up to his FCC (Fascist Communications Commission) to do it. You might ask, “To do what?” Well, he got to that in a subsequent comment that is too long and tedious to repost. So here are a couple of relevant excerpts…

“Kristen Welker, the Unpopular ‘Hostess’ of the once great Meet the Press, now considered Meet the Fake Press, just stated that Donald Trump has ‘mixed results’ on his Endorsements […] Because of this purposeful inaccuracy, she will be reported to the FCC for rebuke or punishment. Unfortunately, she is not the only one. The Radical Left News is going out of their way to harass, demean, and libel anything ‘TRUMP.’ […] The Press is a Disgrace to our Nation, and I hope that Chairman Brendan Carr, and the fine people of his Commission, will take this Threat to our Country very seriously.”

And there you have it. Hall monitor Trump says that Welker “will be reported to the FCC for rebuke or punishment.” Then what? Will she have to stay after school? Will she get 20 whacks? Or will she be deported to a gulag in El Salvador?

Welker’s alleged offense was that she accurately reported that many of Trump’s recent endorsed candidates have met with defeat. In fact, that was what comprised most of Trump’s endless comment that was primarily him bragging about his “99% SUCCESS Rate on Endorsements.” What he fails to mention is that the vast majority of them were for Republican candidates in Republican primaries, many of whom had no viable opponent.

Trump also doesn’t distinguish between endorsements from months or years ago, and the more recent endorsements that have fared poorly, consistent with his devastating descent in the polls. Maybe someone should him about his “success” with Pillow Man Mike Lindell in Minnesota. Even Darline Graham Nordone, his endorsee in South Carolina, barely held onto a lead to replace her late brother Lindsey in the Senate.

Whether Welker was accurate or not is beside the point. Trump and his FCC don’t have any legal authority to dispense “rebuke or punishment” to the press for what they consider to be inaccuracies. There is, however, a civil process for recovering damages in the event of defamation. Fox News found out about that when they were forced to pay a $787 million settlement to Dominion Software for lying about the 2020 presidential election being “rigged and stolen” from Trump.

Trump, on the other hand, has zero evidence of any defamatory dishonesty on the part of Welker or NBC. This is just another attempt on his part to bully the media into submission for not gushing adoringly over him every minute of every day. And Trump may be especially angry with Welker. He walked out of a recent interview with her because he couldn’t handle her entirely reasonable questions.

MORE HERE: Big Baby Trump Flees Like a Frightened Fowl From Scary Meet the Press Host Kristen Welker

Finally, Trump’s “hope that [FCC] Chairman Brendan Carr…take this Threat to our Country very seriously,” is his clumsily covert way of issuing orders to the flunkies on his team to bring their fascist hammer down on the free press. It’s a tactic that he has learned from his idols Vladimir Putin of Russia, and Kim Jong Un of North Korea.

Trump Says ‘CNN is in a DEATH SPIRAL’ and That ‘Literally Nobody is Watching’ – Except Him?

Posted by on August 29, 2026 at 1:33 pm. 1 Comments :

On any given day Donald Trump can reliably be found deeply engaged in important presidential activities on behalf of the American people. Those activities run the gamut from renaming lakes, to renovating pools and statues, to sucking up to foreign dictators, to winning tournaments at his own golf resorts.

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

Donald Trump, CNN

In addition to those chores, Trump is faithfully devoted to one of his most critical functions: Hate-watching television news programs. That may be his second favorite office obligation after casting blame for his mistakes on his fellow Republicans, or criticizing them for being less than sufficiently worshipful.

SEE THIS: Trump Blasts the Republican Party, Whining ‘They Don’t Fully Grasp How Badly They Are F*ing Up’

On Saturday morning Trump posted an urgent message on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, about what he has observed in the mediaspace that takes priority over resolving his reckless and illegal war in Iran, or the festering affordability crisis that he created but says is a hoax. He raged that…

“CNN is in a DEATH SPIRAL, and so is MSNOW, the new name for MSDNC — Literally, nobody is watching either Network! The best person on CNN is Pollster Harry Enten, because he was willing to show that Donald J. Trump is six times more popular than Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, or any other President — He’s got Credibility (Don’t fire him!). CNN can be turned around with new Leadership and Anchors (MSNOW cannot!), because a Great Brand can never truly be destroyed!”

First of all, it needs to be noted that Trump has been declaring that CNN and other media outlets have been dead or dying for years. It’s a long list that includes his Ministry of Propaganda Fox News, ABC, CBS, NBC, MS NOW, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and even late night comedy shows like Seth Meyers. But they are all still around and thriving. So either they have superhuman sustaining powers, or they are zombies.

Also, Trump’s claim that “Literally, nobody is watching,” tells us two things. One: That Trump has absolutely no idea what the television ratings landscape looks like today. And two: That Trump has no idea what what the word “literally” means. Because literally millions of people are watching CNN, MS NOW, and the other news networks.

Despite his open hostility, Trump went on to express his appreciation for CNN’s Senior Data Analyst, Harry Enten, for being “willing” to present some positive information about Trump. Although Trump mischaracterized Enten’s reporting as showing that Trump is “six times more popular” than any other president. What Trump left out was that Enten’s report actually said that Trump’s popularity was limited only to Republicans. To the general population he remains deeply underwater, and lagging far behind President Obama.

What’s more, Enten has regularly featured polling that shows Trump’s approval is at record lows and is on a starkly downward path. And now Trump has established that he regards Enten as a “credible” reporter and pollster. So now everyone – including the MAGA cultists – can rely on his reporting about how broadly Trump is despised.

They should take a look at the following clips of Enten revealing the dismal prospects for Trump and his MAGA movement. Maybe it will finally sink in that they have been duped by a con man who is only in it for himself.

Delusional Trump Whines that Americans are ‘Angry at Republicans, But They’re Not Angry At Me’
ENTEN: “In the 2024 election he won [working class voters] by 13 points…But look at this now. Minus 19 points…This is a 32 point shift away from the president…’Adios, goodbye Mr. President, We don’t like you anymore.'”

FLYING KETCHUP ALERT: Trump is Polling Worse than Both Biden and Carter on Inflation
ENTEN: “Donald John Trump is in the worst position he has ever been in on inflation. And more than that, these are the worst numbers I’ve ever seen for any president. […] Trump is 49 points underwater.”

BIG BABY TRUMP Threatens to Demolish the Kennedy Center If He Can’t Have His Name On It

Posted by on August 25, 2026 at 4:45 pm. 2 Comments :

Just when you thought that Donald Trump had descended to unimaginable depths in order to provide the most repulsive demonstrations of his egomaniacal narcissism, he goes the extra mile to show that for him there literally is no bottom.

Donald Trump

Earlier this year, Trump illegally added his name to the front of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. It was an act of extraordinary conceit that was universally condemned. Shortly afterward, there was a lawsuit filed and Trump was ordered to remove his name. Which he did, but then hid the fact that it was removed from the front of the Center behind a giant tarp, which is still there.

Undeterred by the rebuke Trump received from the courts and the public, he is still pursuing his shameless quest for undeserved attention. At first he tried to take a sleazy path around the Court’s ruling by trying to add his name below Kennedy’s in an addendum saying that the Center was “Renovated and Restored by Donald J. Trump.” But now that that scheme didn’t seem to work, he is actually threatening to demolish the entire building if he doesn’t get his way. As reported by the New York Times…

“Lawyers for the Trump administration told a federal judge that the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts desperately needs the major renovation ordered by President Trump and raised the specter that it would need to be ‘taken down’ if those plans are blocked. […] The suggestion was something of an aside in the Trump administration’s 21-page filing, which responded to an effort by a Democratic lawmaker to block the center from inscribing the president’s name on the building.”

That’s right. Trump is threatening to demolish the Center, that was built to memorialize a slain president, because he can’t put his name on it in violation of the law. There couldn’t possibly be a better example of how pitifully stunted Trump’s emotional growth is. Or of how grossly maladjusted and self-centered he is. Not that he hasn’t tried. He even illegally bulldozed the East Wing of the White House in order to replace it with his vanity ballroom.

Trump’s mission to destroy the Kennedy Center wasn’t limited to his vandalizing it with his name. He also fired the governing board of the Center, replaced them his own unqualified flunkies, and appointed himself chairman. The result of that was typical of his record of failure. The Times also noted that…

“[T]he closure plans may be a cover for the fact that since Mr. Trump’s takeover of the center, many audience members, artists and donors have fled an increasingly politicized institution. Citing internal financial projections at the center, The Washington Post reported on Tuesday that ticket revenue and fund-raising had plummeted after the board voted to add Mr. Trump’s name to the center, setting it up to fall nearly $100 million short of its revenue target this fiscal year.”

This why the acronym ETTD exists (Everything Trump Touches Dies). And when he fails he to get his way he has to make sure that he kills off whatever he screwed up so that no one else can enjoy it. And worst of all, that’s what he’s doing to America.

Trump’s Treasury Secretary Threatens to ‘Blow Up the Global Financial System’ to Get Iran to Surrender

Posted by on August 24, 2026 at 4:23 pm. 0 Comments :

The fiasco in Iran is now in its sixth month. And despite relentless lying by Donald Trump about imaginary victories, the war drags on with no end in sight. The American people haven’t been fooled by Trump’s frequent declarations of victory and every recent poll reflects their disapproval.

Donald Trump, Woman, Fear

Never mind that, according to Trump, Iran has no ability to fight back. He claims that their financial and military resources have been exhausted and/or destroyed by American bombs. Which isn’t really anything to brag about. Because it means that Trump still can’t defeat what he describes as a broke and defenseless foe.

The latest act of desperation on Trump’s part has been to dispatch his Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, to issue some new and typically impotent threats aimed at manufacturing a macho image of a wartime president. The problem with this new PR mission is that it has no substance whatsoever, and worse, it actually works against the Trump regime’s objectives.

Bessent called a press conference to announce a series of proposed sanctions on any country that aids Iran financially. He described his goal as the severing of “every economic lifeline that sustains this tyrannical regime until Tehran stands alone.” He calls the mission “Operation Economic Outcast.”

Although Bessent’s presentation ignored the fact that the most potentially effective sanctions have already been in place for decades. and they haven’t been particularly effective. Which led to Bessent’s new proposals that he labeled an “Economic D-Day” that wouldn’t go into effect until January. The press wasn’t impressed, and one reporter asked a pertinent question to get some clarification.

Reporter: You described this as an Economic D-Day, but D-Day wasn’t a threat of an invasion, and the U.S. didn’t give a timeline to Germany. So why not impose the sanctions today?
Bessent: Well, we are giving everyone the opportunity to remedy bad behavior. Why would I want to blow up the global financial system? We believe that it is important to level set and give people a cure period, but they should know that that will move very quickly and that we are serious.”

Let’s break that down, shall we? First of all, Bessent is saying that he doesn’t “want to blow up the global financial system” just now. But that he’s happy to do it in January? So that’s something to look forward to. Furthermore, he thinks the countries that he’s threatening with sanctions need four months to “remedy bad behavior.” During which time the war continues at about $2 billion a day, and unknown numbers of casualties on both sides. and it remains active through the midterm elections.

When (if) sanctions are imposed, they would appear to apply to Iran’s active trading partners, such as China, Russia, Turkey, India, Pakistan, and more. However, neither Bessent nor Trump would identify the countries that might be subject to sanctions, or even reveal what the sanctions would be. And given Trump’s history of making threats that he never carries out – which has earned him the nickname TACO (Trump Always Chickens Out) – it would foolish to assume that these sanctions will ever be imposed. And even if they are, Trump likely would exempt his buddies in China and Russia that are longtime supporters of Iran.

So what was the purpose of this press conference and the flaccid sanctions proposed in it? The only noticeable purpose was to present the Trump regime as pretending to be doing something affirmative with respect to the war against Iran. But in reality, it was such a feeble event that it merely reinforced the perception that they are doing nothing of any significance. And with the war continuing through the midterm elections, Trump and his MAG GOP are cementing their prospective losses.
