Trump’s ODS (Obama Derangement Syndrome) Flares as He Whines About His Abysmal Approval Ratings

Posted by on October 26, 2026 at 2:32 pm. 2 Comments :

One of the most troubling characteristics of malignant narcissists like Donald Trump is that when they are challenged and feel threatened their anxiety is elevated and their adverse reactions jacked up to ever more extreme levels. As a result they lash out more violently and incoherently as they struggle to maintain their perceptions of themselves as superior and perfect.

Barack Obama, Donald Trump

That behavior has been observed in Trump for years. And as time passes, his condition is exacerbated by repeated public failures and the dire toll of age. His ability to comprehend reality has declined, while his delusions of grandeur rise to absurdity.

SEE THIS: DELUSIONAL: Trump Was Asked About His Record Low Approval Rating That He Thinks Is 60%

On Monday morning CNN’s data analyst, Harry Enten, did a segment on polling that compared Trump to one of his most despised political foes, former President Barack Obama. And the results are just the sort of findings that fuel the fire of Trump’s temper tantrums. Enten revealed in part that…

“President Obama absolutely crushes president Trump when it comes to who is more liked by the American public….

“Who has been the better president? Barack Obama comes in at 55%, Donald John Trump comes in at just 37%…

“President Barack Obama is far more popular than president Donald Trump is. And Americans overwhelmingly agree that Obama was the better president than Donald Trump.”

I hope Natalie shows Trump this clip of Harry Enten comparing Obama's popularity with his unpopularity

Oh my. That’s surely going to trigger Trump’s acute case of ODS (Obama Derangement Syndrome). Particularly because Trump has lately been selectively and deceptively citing CNN and Enten to boost his public image.

Among the recent flagrant lies Trump has delivered about his polling were comments made in a bizarre and tediously lengthy comment on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social. The posting was more than 1,300 words of pure slop wrapped in a bitter harangue aimed at Bill Maher for briefly mentioning Trump’s record low approval ratings. Trump raged that…

“Using Fake Polls, he also said I had my Lowest Ratings so far, ‘and even the Republican Party doesn’t like him,’ but that’s not true. I have High Ratings and, more importantly, he said that I’m losing the support and approval of the Republican Party when, in fact, CNN just came out with a Poll showing that I’m at 98 and 99% support within the Republican Party, an All Time Record High.”

Needless to say, everything Trump said was false. In reality, CNN’s most recent poll showed Trump with 74% approval among Republicans, a new low. But it was enough to trigger his CNN polling rant that was wedged into the following schizoid posting (don’t bother reading it unless you have a lot of spare time and a strong stomach):

Trump began this insane 1,300+ word harangue saying, "Let's talk about this COMPLETE AND TOTAL LOSER, Bill Maher."LET'S NOT! This is an unreadable tirade triggered by Maher briefly mentioning Trump's record low approval ratings. And he says he doesn't care. Really? REALLY?

Another example of Trump’s ODS was evident at his cult rally last week. Even in the midst of his midterm campaign tour’s stump speech, Trump couldn’t help but take time to complain about Obama. And this particular complaint oddly reveals that he actually watches Obama’s rallies. Probably just to get material that he can lie about.

Cockeyed Narcissist Trump On the Election: He Thinks He Himself ‘Turned the Whole Thing Around’

Posted by on October 25, 2026 at 3:00 pm. 1 Comments :

The massive yet fragile ego that is currently occupying the White House is threatening to consume all of the Republican election oxygen in the nation. Donald Trump is in the midst of an extended campaign tour that is taking him to mostly red states that ordinarily would be considered GOP certainties.

Donald Trump, Republican, GOP

In this year’s midterm election there is very little that can be regarded as certain. Particularly as far as Republican prospects are concerned. Trump appears to be doing his best to sabotage his MAGA Party. And if that were his intention, he has been wildly successful. Even as he struggles to avoid recognizing it.

SEE THIS: DELUSIONAL: Trump Was Asked About His Record Low Approval Rating That He Thinks Is 60%

During a Sunday morning press gaggle Trump was asked about the election and the agenda that he is pitching to voters in these closing days of the campaign. As happens with greater frequency every day, his responses diverge farther and farther from an any substantive connection to reality. For instance…

Question: What are you hearing is the top issue for voters?
Trump: Well, first of all I hear that we’ve turned the whole thing around…I think the the rallies have turned it, frankly.

Q: What are you hearing is the top issue for voters?Trump: I’m hearing we turned the whole thing around.

— Acyn (@acyn.bsky.social) 2026-10-25T16:54:09.077Z

SERIOUSLY? There was no second of all. And Trump never actually says what he thinks the top issues are. He just goes on a long and tedious rant about how fabulously Republican candidates are doing because of him and his cult rallies where only his most devoted disciples are in attendance.

Trump mentioned specifically the states of Ohio, Texas, Nebraska, and Alaska, all states where Democratic Senate candidates are either leading or tied. They are also all states where a Democratic victory would flip the seat from red to blue. And for good measure he insults his own cult followers in Alaska as being so stupid that they don’t know what the word “incumbent” means.

Judging by what Trump talks about at his rallies, the top issues for him and his MAGA-tists are defeating Democratic communists, preventing the gender transition of every American child, building vanity ballrooms and other tributes to himself, cozying up to foreign dictators, suppressing voters, muzzling and insulting the free press, and making himself and his cronies wealthier.

No wonder Trump couldn’t answer a simple question about his top issues. He is maniacally self-possessed and grossly out of touch with the American people. The actual top issues according to voters include government corruption, the cost of living, Trump’s war against Iran, and Russia’s war against Ukraine (for which Trump sides with Putin). However, on these and every other high priority issue, Trump is deeply underwater.

TRUMP IS TOAST! And so is his MAGA PartyVoters say that they trust Democrats to do a better job on EVERY major issue.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-10-24T17:00:30.627Z

There is precious little time left for Trump to really turn anything around. And his pitiful efforts to do so amount to just more promotion of himself. Given his record low approval ratings, that doesn’t seem to be a particularly strong strategy. But it’s all that he has, or cares to focus on. And ironically, that’s exactly the strategy that Democrats hope he sticks with.

DELUSIONAL: Trump Was Asked About His Record Low Approval Rating That He Thinks Is 60%

Posted by on October 24, 2026 at 2:14 pm. 1 Comments :

The impaired mental state of Donald Trump has been a popular subject of conversation throughout the 2026 midterm election season. Particularly by Donald Trump himself, who frequently brings up how often he has been required to take cognitive tests that he thinks are IQ tests.

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

Donald Trump, Insane, Straight Jacket

Trump’s stump speeches regularly include his boasting that he has “aced” the tests that are designed only to detect early indications of age-related cognitive decline. He brags about his ability to pick out an elephant from a group of cartoon animals, and then declares with preposterous pride that no one else – other politicians, journalists, or even his cult disciples in his audience – could perform as well on these tests.

SEE THIS: Fox News Warns Against Giving the Nuclear Codes to Mentally Declining Presidents – Like Trump?

The malignant narcissism that psychiatric professionals have unofficially diagnosed Trump with prohibits him from acknowledging any personality traits that are less than those of a superior human specimen. As a result, even documented evidence of his many severe flaws are suppressed by his psychosis. And that also extends to any and all criticism, including less than glowingly favorable polling.

Trump demonstrated this disorder when he was asked Saturday by conservative columnist Byron York about his record low approval ratings. York posted Trump’s deranged reply saying that…

“I asked the president about his job approval number. ‘It’s fake,’ he quickly said. ‘It’s fake.’ He pointed to the New York Times – ‘The job approval, they said it’s 37, 38?’ he asked incredulously. ‘I’m not at 38.’ I asked where he thought his approval rating actually stands. ‘I don’t believe I could be beaten by anybody,’ he said. ‘I think that if I needed it, which I don’t, I think 60.'”

True to form, whatever Trump doesn’t like he labels as fake. However, in this case. Trump is right. He is not at 38% in the New York Times poll. He is at 34%. Which is his lowest approval rating recorded in any Times/Siena poll. And other polls show even lower than that.

Not satisfied with merely refuting the polls, Trump offered his own opinion that his approval rating is at a ridiculously high 60%. And, of course, he produced no evidence of that. However, according to the Times poll, Trump is not only at a new low in approval, he is underwater on every major issue that the Times polled. (FYI: A Fox News poll had the same findings).

TRUMP IS TOAST! And so is his MAGA PartyVoters say that they trust Democrats to do a better job on EVERY major issue.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-10-24T17:00:30.627Z

Does Trump really think that he has a 60% approval? Or is he just engaging in what he called “truthful hyperbole” in his ghostwritten book “The Art of the Deal”? He is a pathological liar and exaggerator. Recently he insisted that his “REAL” numbers are the best they’ve ever been. But whether he is lying or actually believes it, it is a distortion of reality that makes him a threat to the welfare of the nation. And he’s getting worse by the hour.

Trump Lies About Ilhan Omar’s Name and Demands that She Immediately Resign From Congress

Posted by on October 23, 2026 at 2:26 pm. 0 Comments :

The litany of lies that Donald Trump disgorges on a daily basis are generally easy to refute. They never have a factual basis or provide any documentary proof. But as we get closer to the midterm election that is predicted to blowout much of Trump’s MAGA Party, his lies are becoming ever more fantastical and preposterous.

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

Donald Trump Angry

In the past few weeks Trump has narrowed his diarhetorical ranting to ludicrous allegations that every Democrat is a communist who is determined to force all American children to transition to another gender. He has blurted out every racist trope he can think of. He has done everything he can to make the cost of living rise. And he has aided and abetted foreign dictators in their quest to weaken America. All of this right before an election that he is desperately trying to rig in his favor.

SEE THIS: RIGGED! Trump Bans International Election Observers From Monitoring the Upcoming Midterms

On Friday morning Trump was busying himself as usual by posting deranged comments on his failing Twitter rip off, Truth Social. Among them was a long, racist tirade attacking one of his favorite targets, Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar. It said in summary that…

“It was just revealed that Ilhan Omar’s name is not Ilhan Omar, the one she used to get elected and sworn into Congress, but rather, it’s an entirely different name, Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, and that her last name is, incredibly, also the exact name of her brother” […]

“Therefore, because she used a fake name to be sworn in, I assume she must IMMEDIATELY resign from Congress.”

True to form, Trump is making utterly unfounded allegations that Omar’s birth name is Ilhan Nur Said Elmi. It’s not. And he also lied that her former husband is her brother. He isn’t. Omar has repeatedly denied these crackpot conspiracy theories, and in her seven years of congressional service no evidence has ever been produced to back them up. Therefore, Trump’s demand that she resign from Congress is not just patently false, it’s glaringly ridiculous.

Making unfounded allegations is a standard operating procedure for Trump and his MAGA-strates. He has been whining for years that the 2020 presidential election was “rigged and stolen” from him. But has never offered any proof of it. He claims that there is rampant voter fraud, but can’t seem to document it. He is in a near constant rage over what he calls “fake news,” which always just turns out to be truthful news that he doesn’t like.

If Trump really wants to pursue his attack on Omar, he might want to include a few others who actually did run for office under names that were not their own legal birth names. For instance, James Donald Bowman, aka Vice-President JD Vance. Or Rafael Edward Cruz, aka Sen. Ted Cruz. Or James Michael Johnson, aka GOP House Peaker Mike Johnson. Maybe we should throw them all out of office.

There are surely more. But the way things are going for Republicans, voters are likely to take care of throwing them out in the upcoming election, or the next one in 2028.

TOO LATE! Trump Says He Will Spend $400 Million in Futile Effort to Avoid a Midterm MAGA Massacre

Posted by on October 20, 2026 at 2:42 pm. 0 Comments :

In the last two weeks of an election cycle there are frequently frantic candidates scurrying around to make their closing arguments and shore up their campaign’s efforts to prevail. That generally manifests in advertising blitzes and multiple media appearances. And this midterm election cycle is no different for the most part. However, where their are differences they come from a familiar source.

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

Donald Trump, Snake Tongue

Donald Trump may think he’s fooling people with his constant claims of unmitigated successes, but the more dismal reality is evident for all to see. For instance, Trump says that he’s winning (or has already won) his war against Iran. He says that prices for gas and groceries and everything else have come way down. He brags incessantly that his mere presence in a campaign guarantees electoral victory. Which makes you wonder why Democrats are happier about his “help” than Republicans are.

SEE THIS: GOOD NEWS: Trump Will Be Campaigning for Republicans ‘Every Single Day’ Until the Election

As this election season comes to a close, Trump has just pledged that he is finally making a financial contribution to his party’s candidates. Something that he has not done all year. He posted a comment on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social saying that…

“Because of my belief in the Republican Party, and all of our Policies and Principles, and especially after witnessing what is taking place in France, and other locations throughout Europe, I am pleased to announce that, having to do with the Most Important Midterm Elections in our Country’s History, I have spent, or will be spending, over 400 Million Dollars by Election Day. More than 300 Million Dollars has already been spent on Advertising, Direct and Indirect Voter Contact, Rallies, Rally Arenas, Telerallies, Get Out the Vote Programs, Election Integrity, and more. It is my Great Honor to do so on behalf of the Republican Party, which has done so much to bring our Country back from the Edge of Oblivion.”

That’s right! Trump has such a strong belief in the Republican Party that he waited until two weeks before election day to make a sizable donation for what he says is “the Most Important Midterm Elections in our Country’s History.” Although he says that $300 million has already been spent, there is no record of that in any election funding reports.

Does anyone actually trust Trump to spend this money? Not only would it be out of character for him to make good on this promise, but he doesn’t say where he would get the funds to donate. The only ads he has run so far he paid for illegally with taxpayer money, even after being told to stop by a federal judge.

Assuming that Trump really did spend $300 million on GOP campaigns already (doubtful), what benefit has resulted from it? Republicans are still trailing badly in many contests that a year ago they were expected to win. One explanation is that Trump is counting the spending on his cult rallies and the arenas. Those events were more for Trump than his MAGA comrades. The candidates in those areas frequently declined to appear with him. And their polling has not improved.

This alleged campaign donation is just another empty promise by Trump to get some favorable press. Like everything else, he’s only in it for himself. His previous promises of cash dividends were essentially bribes to get people to vote for his MAGA clan. He literally promised to give every adult in the country $5,000 – more than a trillion dollars of taxpayer funds – if Republicans win. And he made no exceptions for millionaires or murderers, rapists or drug dealers, or any other villainous persons, such as members of his family.

Other instances where Trump has used taxpayer funds as bribes for votes include offering FEMA payouts to victims of natural disasters in red states. And just this weekend, he offered another multibillion dollar bailout for farmers to offset the damage done by his idiotic energy policies and his war against Iran.

OH GREAT! Trump is proposing yet another multibillion dollar taxpayer bailout to offset the damage done by his idiotic energy policies and his war against Iran.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-10-20T09:47:56.736Z

Of course, all of these examples of political bribery are aimed at helping Republicans from whom Trump will then demand return favors. This is not how you run a constitutional democracy. It’s how you run an authoritarian dictatorship. Which is what Trump obviously aspires to.

Trump’s Economics Czar Brags that the Economy is Booming for People Who Stay in Nice Hotels

Posted by on October 19, 2026 at 4:17 pm. 1 Comments :

In the closing weeks of the midterm elections, Donald Trump and his regime associates are making their last ditch efforts to avoid the Blue Tsunami that threatens to flush out the MAGA Republican majorities in Congress.

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

Trump Baby on Cash Pile

Trump himself is in the midst of a nationwide campaign tour to try to boost Republican turnout. Although his itinerary is almost exclusively red states that should already be expected to turnout for GOP candidates. That says something about how desperate their party is, and how despairing they are of their prospects. And given his record low approval ratings, no one is happier about Trump’s participation in the campaign than Democrats.

SEE THIS: GOOD NEWS: Trump Will Be Campaigning for Republicans ‘Every Single Day’ Until the Election

The closing arguments for Republicans appear to be avoiding entirely the issues that the American people care about, such as the cost of living and the war in Iran. Instead, Trump and the GOP are focusing on transgender athletes, imaginary communist candidates, and Trump’s ballrooms, arches, and golf courses.

The obliviousness of the MAGA crowd is off the charts. On Monday morning Trump’s chairman of his Economic Advisory Council, Kevin Hassett, was interviewed on CNBC to deliver his routine and preposterously rosy outlook. CNBC’s Joe Kernan noted the current polling that predicts Democrats will win majorities in both the House and the Senate. Then he asked Hassett if he thought the polls were correct. And like a good MAGA-tist Hassett parroted Dear Leader Trump’s doctrine that all the polls are fake, Elaborating, he said that…

“If the economic polls that you’re talking about were correct, then people wouldn’t be taking trips to nice hotels. They wouldn’t be flying. They wouldn’t be buying cars. They wouldn’t be doing all the things they do when they’re feeling good about the economy.

“True sentiment is measured by what you see people are doing. And what you see people are doing is they’re acting like we’re in a boom. And the reason they are doing that is because, despite what the polls say, we are in a boom.”

Hassett: "If economic polls were correct, then people wouldn't be taking trips to nice hotels, they wouldn't be flying, they wouldn't be buying cars, they wouldn't be doing all the things they do when they're feeling good about the economy… people are acting like we're in a boom. We are in a boom"

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-10-19T13:01:50.546Z

Well…That’s comforting. So if you’re a jet-setting car buyer who stays in nice hotels, the economy is booming. Unfortunately, everybody else is struggling to keep their heads above water. It’s notable that what Hassett and his kind “see people doing” is living the same life of luxury that they live.

They don’t see regular, working class people. So they think that those people are only complaining about the economy because of the polls, rather than because of their own experiences and knowledge of their own finances. That’s what is driving the polls, not the other way around.

Can Trump and his team really be that out of touch? Or do they just lie and hope that their gullible cult followers will believe them? This is not the first time that they have appeared to be considering only the welfare of the wealthy. A couple of months ago Trump bragged that “The economy is doing unbelievably from the standpoint of Wall Street.” Which doesn’t really make life easier for anyone on Main Street.

This is how the elitist MAGA-strates think. If it’s good for them and their billionaire pals, it’s good for America. It’s the Trumpian version of Ronald Reagan’s discredited “Trickle Down Theory.” It didn’t work then, and it doesn’t work now. And it’s a really awful closing argument for a tightly fought midterm election. But other than childishly mocking people for their looks, or their names, or that they like vegetables, it’s all the MAGA-tists have got.

POOR BABY: Sean Hannity Sounds Deeply Depressed While Expressing His Midterm Election Optimism

Posted by on October 17, 2026 at 2:00 pm. 0 Comments :

The midterm elections are now a little over two weeks away. And most polls are currently predicting bad news for Donald Trump and his Republican comrades. Democrats have better than even odds of winning majorities in both the House and the Senate.

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

Fox News Sean Hannity

In response, Trump has embarked on a national MAGA crusade to fire up his glassy-eyed cult followers. Although his itinerary of almost exclusively red states doesn’t appear to be aimed at producing a GOP congressional victory, but merely avoiding a devastating Republican blowout. And the biggest supporters of Trump’s crusade are Democrats, who welcome the highly unpopular president campaigning for Republicans who don’t even want him in their states.

SEE THIS: GOOD NEWS: Trump Will Be Campaigning for Republicans ‘Every Single Day’ Until the Election

Among those who still regard Trump as a positive contributor to the Republican cause is Sean Hannity of Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News. On Friday night he aired a segment wherein he intended to add his analysis of the unfolding election. And while he described what he was feeling as “optimism,” his voice and demeanor didn’t seem to agree. To the contrary, Hannity sounded downright depressed and utterly lacking in confidence. See for yourself…

“I am watching these Senate races and, day by day, I am getting more cautiously optimistic. Let me explain why.

“I do believe that Maine is definitely going our way. I think this guy [Troy Jackson] was out of his mind telling a woman to shut up. I think [Abdul] El-Sayed is collapsing under the heavy burden of his lying. The same with [James] Talarico. I see Ohio coming back, Iowa coming back. I’m not as worried as the media wanted me to be about places like Kansas and Nebraska.

“So I think that things are generally headed in a much better direction. I might be wrong. It will only mean something if everybody goes out and votes and does their part, and I hope they do.”

Does Hannity sound optimistic to you? He’s making up stories about “collapsing” campaigns for Democrats, when the polls show Democrats gaining or steady. You’ll notice that he doesn’t cite a single poll to support his rosy claims. Even more telling is his admission that “I might be wrong.” That’s the sort of concession that Hannity rarely makes. Particularly if he actually believes the hype he’s spewing.

Finally, Hannity begs his viewers to show up at the polls. But he’s not being especially firm about it. Rather than insisting that it’s a critical civic duty and that the GOP needs their support to save the nation from communists, he lapses into a rather weak appeal of “hope” that viewers do their part. How inspiring!

If Hannity is this despondent about the future fate of the GOP, it is indicative of how deep a hole they are in. It’s an unspoken confession of futility and defeat. But he’s right about one thing: “It will only mean something if everybody goes out and votes.” And that goes for Democrats too. Although from the looks of it. Democrats are a lot more upbeat and enthusiastic about turning out in record numbers to save democracy and crush Trump’s dwindling MAGA movement.

If Democrats maintain their excitement through November 3, we’ll see even more miserable mood swings from Hannity, from his comrades at Fox News, and from their Dear Leader Trump, who will likely erupt like Vesuvius, knowing that he has become the lamest of ducks for the remaining two years of his term. That is, if he is even able to finish it.

UH-OH! Trump’s Economic Advisor Forgets to Blame Biden for Trump’s Latest Rise in Inflation

Posted by on October 14, 2026 at 3:00 pm. 0 Comments :

One of the most prominent promises made by Donald Trump during his 2024 campaign to reoccupy the White House was that he would bring consumer prices down. He swore that he would do that on day one, and that it would be easy. We are now at day 632, and things have only gotten worse.

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

The American people are well aware of Trump’s failures with regard to the economy. Despite his lying about this being the “Golden Age,” people know what their groceries cost, and their gas, and their healthcare, and their housing, etc. Trump’s deceit and uncaring attitude are among the primary reasons that he is floundering at record lows for job approval.

SEE THIS: HOW CONVENIENT! Trump Says the Iran War and High Gas Prices Will End – Right After the Elections?

Most experts agree that the dismal economy we are suffering through are due to Trump’s neglect, incompetence, and ego. The war he started against Iran has resulted in higher costs for energy. His ridiculous, unwarranted tariffs account for the rise in virtually everything else. But in Trump’s twisted mind, and the minds of his MAGA-pologists, President Biden – who left office nearly two years ago – is the culprit who caused the fiscal fiasco that has plagued the Trump years.

Political observers have wondered when the timeline would flip from the seemingly endless Biden Effect, to one where Trump actually takes responsibility for his own mistakes and misdeeds. Well, we might be getting close to that now. In an interview on Fox News Wednesday morning, the chairman of Trump’s Council of Economic Advisors, Kevin Hassett, had the following exchange with Fox’s Stuart Varney…

Varney: We got the last Consumer Price Index report before the midterms. In September price is up 0.6%. Moved up a bit, a bit hotter, 3.7% over the last year. Here’s what Kevin Hassett had to say about it this morning.
Hassett: Because the Houties started attacking the Saudi pipeline. And other Iranian proxies from Iraq were attacking refineries and so on. That we had a negative shock to energy again in September. But inside the topline number there’s a lot of good news. [Insert a bunch of Hassett lies] If you look at core inflation, it was basically at the Fed’s target on average over the last three months. But this month was a blip up.

Top Trump econ advisor claims today's high inflation report was a "blip"

— FactPost (@factpostnews.bsky.social) 2026-10-14T15:53:19.076038849Z

This may be the first time that Hassett has ever answered a question about Trump’s poor performance that didn’t begin with “But Biden…” In fact, the reasons that he does cite are all problems of Trump’s making. It was Trump’s reckless and illegal attack on Iran that led to associated battles in the region with the Houties, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq. And the targeting of oil refineries was a possibility that a competent leader would have prepared for.

What’s more, the Federal Reserve’s target for inflation is 2.0%, way below the 3.7% that Hassett is preposterously calling a blip. At least he didn’t blame Biden again. But has he finally recognized how ridiculous that is? Or did he just forget?

While it’s a welcome relief that Hassett didn’t push to blame Biden again, he still tried to downplay any notion that the economy is troubled. But how could he? Trump would have his head. After all, here is what Trump said about the rise in inflation…

Question: Are you concerned about the latest inflation number?
Trump: No, I love it. The numbers were great. I love the inflation.

Q: Are you concerned about the latest inflation number?Trump: No, I love it. The numbers were great. I love the inflation.

— FactPost (@factpostnews.bsky.social) 2026-10-14T18:34:08.197711334Z

Trump has expressed his love for inflation before. It’s just another indicator of how out of touch he is with ordinary people. And for the record, the video here was cut off right before he explained why he loves inflation. Here is what he said…

“Because as soon as this war is over. You know, I can say it now, something you didn’t know. Did you know we’ve been taking out millions of barrels of oil? Nobody knows it.”

HUH? So Trump loves inflation because he’s going to steal Iran’s oil when the war is over? That war, which he said would only last a few weeks, is now in its eighth month. Does he think that the American people love inflation for that period of time, and who knows how much longer?

Furthermore, everybody knows about Trump’s stated intention to steal Iran’s oil. He has said it repeatedly in public. He brags about it saying that “to the victor goes the spoils.” The only problem is that Trump is losing. And therefore, unfortunately, so are the American people. And they know that Trump and his MAGA Republican enablers are solely to blame.

BEYOND PARODY: Fox News Fawns Over Trump as ‘What a Hardworking President Looks Like’

With just three weeks left until the midterm elections, Donald Trump is ramping up the crazy on his Midterm Desperation Tour. In the futile hopes of turning around his abysmally low approval ratings he is performing his traveling salvation show for his glassy-eyed MAGA cult followers to try to boost their slacking enthusiasm to vote.

Donald Trump Sleeping - ZZZ

Having promised to campaign throughout the month of October, instead of carrying out his presidential duties (which may be a blessing), Trump is taking Natalie Harp and the rest of his entourage to mostly solid red states to put the finishing touches on destroying what remains of the Republican Party. Although he isn’t getting much of a reception from voters or even his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News…

On Monday morning the “Curvy Couch” potatoes of Fox and Friends delivered their usual brand of Trump-fluffing. In a segment intended to praise his diligence and stamina, co-hosts Charlie Hurt and Rachel Campos-Duffy (wife of Trump’s Transportation Secretary, Sean Duffy) engaged in the following exalting exchange…

Campos-Duffy: He’s acting like he’s on the ballot. He is campaigning so hard. He has not stopped. And that is something that I think when all of this is said and done, when his term is over, we are gonna miss what a hardworking president looks like because I don’t think we’ll ever see anyone work as hard as that man.

Hurt: But, you know, obviously, the the headwinds are very much going against Republicans just because of the nature of politics. […] And what’s significant about that is what was the Democrat response to it? You would think the Democrat response to that would be to moderate and become and try to get those working class voters back to their side of the aisle, but that’s not what they did. They took off and went crazy

Oh yeah. Trump is a veritable bullet train streaking across the nation. After all, it takes a lot of work to fall asleep in public at virtually every event where he appears. And the results of Trump’s hard work are evident in the gleaming gold filigree plastered all over the White House. Never mind that he has been utterly incompetent with regard to the one-week war he started against Iran that is now in its eighth month. Or the wrecked economy that has Americans paying more for everything from gas, to groceries, to healthcare, to housing, and more.

As for the response from Democrats, they really “took off and went crazy” with their radical, lunatic ideas about lowering the cost of living, providing healthcare, holding corrupt politicians accountable, and preserving democracy. Who would want any of that?

Meanwhile, Trump is busy with his primary function: Posting idiotic memes on his failing propaganda platform, Truth Social. For instance this one about Denzel Washington…

Trump Praised a Clip From CNN (Fake News?) That He Played at His Rally – Here’s What He Left Out

Posted by on October 10, 2026 at 4:56 pm. 0 Comments :

For several months the polls for the upcoming midterm election have been showing signs of a massive Blue Tsunami that is predicted to flush out the Republican majorities in Congress. And as election day draws closer, the polls have only gotten worse for Donald Trump and his MAGA Party.

Donald Trump, CNN

As Trump and the GOP candidates he has endorsed flounder, Trump manages to retain his confidence that the only problem with the election is that the public hasn’t seen enough of Trump. Consequently, he has pledged to abandon his presidential duties and devote himself to rescuing his party. Although many of them are asking him not to bother. So he has narrowed his itinerary to mostly solid red states.

SEE THIS: GOOD NEWS: Trump Will Be Campaigning for Republicans ‘Every Single Day’ Until the Election

On Friday Trump took his red eye rally express to Syracuse, New York. And while there he thought it would be a good idea to play a deceitfully edited video of something he saw on CNN. Not only was this video from a network that he despises, but it was on a subject that he insists is totally corrupt: Polling. Nevertheless, Trump introduced the clip saying that…

“I saw a chart, because CNN is very unfriendly territory, they’re fake news, but this time I believe them 100%. Because they did a chart, and I respect them for putting it up, but they did a couple of very important charts.”

Whereupon Trump played the video of CNN’s data analyst, Harry Enten, saying that…

“MAGA GOP on Trump in the 2024 election versus Kamala Harris he got 99% of the MAGA GOP vote. But surprisingly. I might have thought it would be 100%. But it was 99%. Compare that to his approval rating now with the MAGA GOP. It’s 98%. That is, there has been no real decline in MAGA support.”

Enten concluded that Trump’s support among the MAGA GOP is “really holding up strong.” And why not? IT’S A CULT! However, what Trump didn’t play for his cult rally devotees was the remainder of the CNN segment where Enten revealed that only 50-60% of Republicans identify as MAGA. Which means that, since only 28% of U.S. adults identify directly as Republicans, MAGA is only about 14-17% of the electorate.

Enten went on to note what he called a “troubling sign for Republicans,” that Trump’s approval among all Republicans declined by 14 points (from 94% to 80%) since 2024. And those Republicans who strongly approved of Trump declined by 24 points (from 71% to 47%, less than half) since the beginning of 2025.

It is so monumentally hypocritical and dishonest for Trump to brag about CNN’s reporting, when he only shows a small piece of it. The rest of the segment showed how dismal Trump’s standing is with the Republican Party and the American people. He left all of that out. And he calls CNN fake news?

It’s kind of funny that Trump is embracing something that he saw on CNN, a network that he relentlessly accuses of being treasonous. Even worse, it’s one of the networks that he has actually banned from covering him. But now, because he – or more likely someone on his staff (Natalie Harp?) – was able to cherry-pick a few seconds that he thinks makes him look good, he “believes them 100%.”

Trump can do this because he knows that none of his gullible cult disciples will ever see the parts of the video that he cut out. They don’t watch CNN. Furthermore, he knows that his MAGA-tists are going to fawn over whatever he says. And it’s because of them that he thinks he is universally beloved, even though they are a tiny minority. So he runs around the country thinking that his presence will produce a nationwide Republican victory.

Trump may be sorely disappointed when the actual election results come in. And when they do, he will become the lamest of ducks. Although he will still just say the election was rigged. Because he thinks he’s infallible and more popular than Jesus.
