Trump Unleashes a Manic Tirade Attacking Those He Says are America’s Greatest Enemy – Democrats?

Posted by on March 25, 2026 at 1:57 pm. 0 Comments :

Throughout the past 250 years, America’s presidents have made at least cursory efforts to show that they represent everyone in this great and diverse country. It is their constitutional duty to conduct the nation’s business on behalf of every citizen. The president is not elected to be the leader of one political party.

Donald Trump, Newspapers, Baby, Hate

Unfortunately, among the traditions that Donald Trump has abandoned is the one that promotes the unity of service that has always been the province of the occupant of the White House. Service, however, is a principle that is foreign to Trump, a malignant narcissist with authoritarian aspirations. Consequently, in order to elevate himself above the majority of the American people, he fiercely denigrates those who he considers to be his political foes.

SEE THIS: Trump Says He’s Dealing with Terrorists in Iran, But Refuses to Deal with Democrats in America

With a war raging against Iran, and military assaults on peaceful protesters at home by ICE thugs, and the domestic economy burdening Americans with skyrocketing costs for everything from groceries, to gasoline, to housing to healthcare, Trump carved out some of his precious “executive time” – ordinarily reserved for golfing, designing ballrooms, and watching Fox News – to post a flurry of comments on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social.

This particular batch of social bitchcraft was focused on those that he regards as “the greatest enemy America has.” And he isn’t talking about his current adversaries in Iran, or America’s longtime nemeses Russia and China. Or even our European allies that Trump has downgraded to virulently hostile. Nope. It’s America’s own Democratic Party and the millions of people who are members of it. What follows are a few of Trump’s hateful harangues with relevant annotations.

“Blame the Democrats for the Airport’s mess. They want our Country to do badly. They want our Country to fail. They broke the already signed Bill.”
For the record, it is Trump and the Republicans who have repeatedly refused to fund TSA and other Homeland Security agencies by voting against legislation offered by Democrats. And the “already signed bill” to which he is referring is his so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” that isn’t broken at all. It’s just bad policy because the GOP can’t govern competently.

“The Democrats don’t want to make any deal unless Amnesty and Citizenship is given to millions of Criminals who have entered our Country illegally, many of whom have been convicted of serious crimes.”
Actually, it is Trump who has literally refused to deal with Democrats, saying that “I don’t think we should make any deal with the Crazy, Country Destroying, Radical Left Democrats.” And he is making up the preposterous charge that Democrats want amnesty and citizenship for “million of Criminals. Meanwhile, it is Trump himself who has been “convicted of serious crimes” (34 felonies).

“The Radical Left, Country Hating Democrats are trying to create inner chaos to take away from the great military achievement we are having in Iran. They hate seeing us WIN so completely and decisively, but the American public sees what is going on.”
Trump doesn’t need any help from Democrats to “create inner chaos.” That’s his specialty. However, he’s right that “the American public sees what is going on.” Recent polls show that big majorities of the public disapprove of Trump’s war in Iran.

Trump’s vicious animosity toward fellow Americans who happen to disagree with him is an abhorrent diversion from how decent presidents throughout history have behaved. His hatred is directed squarely at patriotic citizens who have the right to their own opinions. And in this case those opinions are shared by most other American citizens. No president who has this much loathing for the people he is supposed to be serving should be tolerated. In the meantime, least we can say that the feeling is mutual…

Trump Says He’s Dealing with Terrorists in Iran, But Refuses to Deal with Democrats in America

Posted by on March 23, 2026 at 1:45 pm. 0 Comments :

The war against Iran that Donald Trump said he won three weeks ago is still raging on. The Strait of Hormuz remains shutdown. Both sides are continuing to launch bombing raids. Trump is still seeking $200 billion more in Pentagon funding. Gas and oil prices are still rising. 2,400 Marines were just to deployed to the Middle East. And all for a war for which Trump has already declared victory.

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

Donald Trump WTF

Trump’s justification for continuing to fight has run the gamut from his lust for a genocidal solution, to his sociopathic desire to just have fun slaughtering people. He couldn’t care less about the welfare of American troops or Iranian civilians. Or for that matter, Americans here at home…

SEE THIS: Trump Says He Knows Where Iranian Sleeper Cells Are in the U.S. But He Isn’t Going After Them?

Trump recently pledged that he would escalate his bombing of Iran if they didn’t open up the Strait of Hormuz within 24 hours. But he is already backing off of that pledge with an announcement that he is engaging with Iran to formulate a peace agreement. He posted the following comment on his dedicated, for-profit propaganda platform, Truth Social, Monday morning…

“I AM PLEASE TO REPORT THAT THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND THE COUNTRY OF IRAN, HAVE HAD, OVER THE LAST TWO DAYS, VERY GOOD AND PRODUCTIVE CONVERSATIONS REGARDING A COMPLETE AND TOTAL RESOLUTION OF OUR HOSTILITIES IN THE MIDDLE EAST.”

Trump offered no evidence of any actual discussions, or with whom they would be held, since he previously claimed to have killed all of their leaders. And Iran is denying that any discussions have taken place. As reported by The Hill…

“A senior Iranian security official on Monday said Tehran is not in talks with President Trump adding that Trump ‘backed down’ from further attacks on energy infrastructure due to pressure from the markets and allies.”

It’s difficult to decide who trust in this situation. Iran is not a particularly reliable source of information. But Trump is arguably even worse. Trump’s claim that he is having “VERY GOOD AND PRODUCTIVE CONVERSATIONS” comes in stark contrast to his prior statements regarding negotiations with his fellow Americans in Congress. While he is bragging that he is dealing with the terrorist regime in Iran, he is simultaneously refusing to deal with Democrats here at home…

“I don’t think we should make any deal with the Crazy, Country Destroying, Radical Left Democrats unless, and until, they Vote with Republicans to pass ‘THE SAVE AMERICA ACT.’ It is far more important than anything else we are doing in the Senate.”

Trump isn’t making any secret of whose side he is on. And it clearly isn’t the side of America or its people. He actually trusts Iran as a negotiating partner more. And he is happy to deal with the leaders of the country he is at war with, but not the leaders of his domestic political opposition that he maligns as “Crazy, Country Destroying, Radical Left Democrats.”

What’s more, Trump’s problem with Democrats is that they won’t agree to his “Voter Suppression Act,” that he has prioritized above everything else, including the war in Iran and the skyrocketing cost of living in the U.S. He is terrified of the likelihood that American voters are going to strip his MAGA Republicans from their congressional majorities in November, and that Democrats will hold him accountable for his crimes.

To Trump that means that Democrats are the real enemy to America. No, really. He literally said so yesterday…

Trump just literally declared WAR on at least half of the American people.Does he plan to start bombing Democrats? He's already trying to obstruct them from voting. Because he is TERRIFIED and knows that Democrats will hold him accountable for his crimes when they assume power.

Trump Flunky Tells NBC News that ‘We Should All Have a Little Empathy’ For Poor Crybaby Trump

Posted by on March 22, 2026 at 2:17 pm. 1 Comments :

Throughout the political career of Donald Trump it has been glaringly apparent that the singular focus of his attention is always exclusively on himself. Having been diagnosed unofficially by knowledgeable observers as a malignant narcissist, Trump continues to validate those opinions with virtually every vile and hate-filled public utterance he makes.

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

Donald Trump, Snowflakes

The idolatrous fixation that Trump’s toadies in Congress and the MAGA media have for him would make a fantastic plot for a comic book about a dystopian country with an authoritarian leader. Unfortunately, it makes a horrific theme for a real world scenario wherein a cult leader manages to acquire power and plots to preserve it at all costs.

SEE THIS: Trump PR Flack, Karoline Leavitt, Embraces Poll that Proves MAGA is a Cult that Worships Trump

This scenario can seen at work in the remarks by Trump’s Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, on Sunday morning’s episode of Meet the Press. In a discussion about the recent passing of American hero and lifelong patriot, Robert Mueller, host Kristen Welker pressed Bessent on his reaction to a disgusting comment Trump made about Mueller’s death…

Welker: Trump from yesterday, responding to the death of Robert Mueller, he posted this, quote “Robert Mueller just died. Good, I’m glad he’s dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people!”

Do you think it’s appropriate for the president of the United States to celebrate the death of an American citizen? Someone who is a Bronze Star and Purple Heart recipient who served in Vietnam?
Bessent: [After rambling about the FBI lawfully searching for – and finding – classified materials at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort] Neither one of us can understand what has been done to the president and his family.
Welker: But to the question of the president’s post – I mean, Robert Mueller didn’t order that raid – Is it appropriate for the president to celebrate the death of any American citizen?
Bessent: Again, given what has been done to president Trump and his family, it is impossible for either of us to understand what he has been through.
Welker: So you don’t think there’s anything wrong with the post saying, “Good. Robert Mueller’s dead”?
Bessent: Again, I think that we should all have a little empathy for what has been done to him and his family.

WELKER: Do you think it's appropriate for POTUS to celebrate the death of Bronze Star recipient?BESSENT: Neither one of us can understand what's been done to the president & his familyW: So there's nothing wrong w/post saying, 'Good. Mueller's dead'?B: We should have empathy for the president

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-03-22T14:29:30.099Z

Welker asked a simple question seeking to ascertain Bessents’s opinion as to whether it was appropriate for Trump to dance on the grave of someone that he regarded as political foe. But Bessent was unable to provide an honest answer. He entirely ignored the fact that Mueller was a decorated veteran who served his country honorably, and devoted decades to public service. Instead Bessent diverted to nonsense about the FBI search at Mar-a-Lago, that Mueller had nothing to do with.

Bessent preposterously claimed that “it is impossible…to understand what he [Trump] has been through,” and that that somehow justified his repulsive posthumous insult. And worse, Bessent declared that it is Trump who we all should feel sorry for at this time, rather than Mueller and his grieving family.

This is just plain sick. And it is further evidence of the severity of the cult indoctrination that is rampant in MAGA World. They can’t even express sympathy for a deceased American who spent a lifetime serving his country. Unlike Trump who took five phony deferments and got 34 felony convictions.

However, it’s typical of Trump who has nothing but animus toward patriots like Mueller. Trump has said similarly grotesque things about veterans such as senators John McCain and Mark Kelly. He has also insulted several generals who worked for him in his administration, including John Kelly, Jim Mattis, and Mark Milley.

As for disrespecting the dead, Trump said awful things following the murder of Rob Reiner and his wife. Reiner, while not a veteran, directed the military themed movie “A Few Good Men,” and was an advocate for veterans benefits, as well as other issues related to civil rights and democracy. But Trump maligned him as having been killed “due to the anger he caused others through his..TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME.”

This is all further evidence of the diseased mind of Trump – or what’s left of it. He is filled with rage and hatred. And he is incapable of common decency. And yet, his flunkies still seem to think that he is the one deserving of sympathy. Poor baby Trump has suffered so much by enriching himself at the expense of the American people, while viciously attacking his perceived enemies, and even legally persecuting them.

Consequently, no one is likely to be surprised by Trump’s contemptuous incivility. And therefore, no one should be surprised by the incivility directed at him when he finally descends into hell.

SRSLY? Trump Threatens Democrats With ICE Thugs in Airports to Coerce Passage of DHS Funding

Posted by on March 21, 2026 at 12:11 pm. 0 Comments :

For the third time since Donald Trump returned to his vengeance and ego driven occupation of the White House, the nation is mired in a government shutdown orchestrated by Trump and his MAGA Republicans in Congress. And it only took a little over one year to match or exceed the record for duration of a shutdown – twice.

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

Donald Trump Angry

No rational observers are falling for the GOP spin that Democrats are responsible for the shutdown. Republicans control both houses of Congress and the White House. If they were interested – or competent – they could have easily negotiated agreements that avoided the shutdowns, but they preferred to hold the American people hostage, forcing them to suffer skyrocketing health insurance costs, and tolerating violent tactics by Trump’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement thugs (ICE). They never really wanted to avoid the shutdowns…

SEE THIS: King Trump Craves a ‘Forever’ Shutdown, Whining that ‘You Can’t Make a Deal With These Lunatics’

The burning issue that Trump and the GOP are fixated on this time around is the passage of funding for ICE in a Homeland Security appropriations bill. Trump and his MAGA toadies refuse to consider common sense proposals to reign in the brutality of his untrained and unqualified ICE agents. They would rather cripple government services that Americans rely on, and force federal employees to miss work or go without pay. And on Saturday morning Trump weighed in with a crackpot comment posted on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, saying that…

“If the Radical Left Democrats don’t immediately sign an agreement to let our Country, in particular, our Airports, be FREE and SAFE again, I will move our brilliant and patriotic ICE Agents to the Airports where they will do Security like no one has ever seen before.”

REALLY? Trump is effectively admitting that the tactics employed by his ICE StormTrumpers are so hostile and dangerous that they are useful as threats to coerce Democrats to obey his authority. But it’s not an especially wise position to take for an agency that already has broad disapproval ratings. Does he think that the American people want to be screened for travel by the same masked thugs who murdered Renee Good and Alex Pretti?

What’s more, Trump is regurgitating the right-wing talking points that accuse Democrats of being responsible for the disruptions at airports due to the Republican shutdown. In reality, it is Democrats who have offered proposals to fund the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), as well as FEMA, the Coast Guard, and other Homeland Security functions. But Republicans have voted against those proposals – five times so far.

Trump’s comment also suggested that ICE agents at the airport would be able to make the “immediate arrest of all Illegal Immigrants” Does he think that immigrants are coming in illegally by plane, where there are already checkpoints screening foreign passengers? And in a ridiculous and racist aside he specifies that there will be a “heavy emphasis on those from Somalia.”

Trump’s brazen bullying and threats are unlikely to achieve his goal of convincing Democrats to pass the DHS funding bill without reforms. The “art-of-the-dealer” is proving how pitiful his negotiating skills actually are. He can’t even get all of his Republicans in the Senate to sign on. But this new threat sinks to ever lower depths of depravity. If anything, it will result in an even worse defeat in Congress.

Wannabe Dictator Trump Signs Executive Order Mandating Army-Navy Football Game Schedules On TV

Posted by on March 20, 2026 at 2:02 pm. 1 Comments :

The state of the union under Donald Trump today is decidedly stressful and suffering greatly from both the flaming ignorance and deliberate malfeasance of Trump and his MAGA regime. There is an ongoing, deadly war raging in Iran, rising inflation and costs of living here at home, Trump’s ICE thugs terrorizing American citizens, and cover ups of grotesque crimes related to Trump’s unsavory relationship with pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Donald Trump, Military Parade

Yet somehow Trump manages to stay laser focused on the issues that matter most to the American people: Golden ballrooms, UFC fights at the White House, battling ugly windmills, voter suppression legislation, and when all else fails, bashing the free press and trying to undermine the Constitution.

SEE THIS: Trump Brags About Getting Fascist Control of the Media in Bonkers Truth Social Post

On Friday morning Trump held a ceremony at the White House to present the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy to the Navy football team for beating Army during their 2025 game. But true to form, Trump was unable to focus his attention on the matter at hand. He wandered around aimlessly whining about men in women’s sports, his alleged success in Iran, and how awesome he is at everything he ever does.

As part of the ceremony, Trump diverted from the honor that was supposed to be bestowed on the Naval Academy’s athletes, to put himself at the center of attention again. He announced that he was signing an Executive Order to dictate to the college football associations, and the television networks, what they should be allowed to do with regard to scheduling games and their broadcast times.

As usual, Trump was undeterred by the fact that he has no authority to interfere in those private enterprises. He even admitted as much saying that “I have much more power in my second term,” and acknowledging that he is likely going to be sued over this power play. He told those at the gathering that…

“I’m going to sign an executive order to ensure that the second Saturday in December, is preserved exclusively – nobody is playing football. […] If you don’t want to watch football, you don’t have to. But if you want to watch football, you are only watching one game.”

Trump might as well have continued “Do you hear that, you peasants. You’ll watch what I watch and do what I say at all times. Free enterprise is a thing of the past that only stupid and weak presidents adhere to.” And with that, Trump unveiled his completely unconstitutional Executive Order that mandated that “By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered [that]…

Section 1. Purpose. It is the policy of the United States that no college football game, specifically college football’s CFP or other postseason games, be broadcast in a manner that directly conflicts with the Army-Navy Game.
[No president has the authority to mandate a policy that dictates the scheduling of college football games or their broadcasts on television. And the Army-Navy game is no exception.]

Sec. 2. Implementation. (a) The Secretary of Commerce and the Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) shall coordinate with the CFP Committee, the National Collegiate Athletic Association, related organizations, other appropriate Government agencies, and the playoffs’ broadcast and media rights partners with the goal of establishing an exclusive window for the Army-Navy Game, during which no other college football game is broadcast.
[The Commerce Secretary and FCC Chairman are not empowered to negotiate broadcast and media rights or to establish exclusive windows for the the Army-Navy Game, or any other games.]

(b) The Chairman of the FCC shall consider reviewing the public interest obligations of broadcast licensees to determine whether those obligations would require that the Army-Navy Game remain a national service event.
[This clause was included as a threat to the television networks that any disobedience could result in the revocation of their broadcast licenses for alleged failure to act in the public interest. Never mind that football games cannot reasonably be considered matters of public interest in this legal context.]

All of this is just another attempt on Trump’s part to interfere with the business of the media and quash freedom of the press. He is putting himself above the principles of the Constitution and pretending that it is all some sort of play for patriotism. Note that the players in the Army-Navy games are not active-duty enlisted soldiers. They are students in the military academies. And thus, for the purposes of these games, they are no different than the students in other sports programs at other colleges.

So why should they get special treatment? Because Trump demands it. And he thinks that he’s making a statement of support for the troops. Remember, those are the troops that he has called “suckers” and “losers,” and whose lives he is putting at risk for no discernible reason in Iran. But what matter is that to a five-time draft dodger like him? And you won’t see his son, Barron, enlisting for this supposedly noble cause either.

Pete Hegseth Grasps at Fantasy that Americans Back Trump’s Iran War, While Attacking the Media

Posted by on March 19, 2026 at 1:45 pm. 0 Comments :

There is an old adage among lawyers that says, “If you have the facts on your side, pound the facts; if you have the law on your side, pound the law; if you have neither the facts nor the law, pound the table.” Now we can add the Trump corollary to that which would end with “if you have neither the facts nor the law, pound the media.”

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

Donald Trump baby and Pete Hegseth

Actually, in Trump’s world he would probably say to pound the media even if you have the facts and the law on your side. Pounding the media is the first response to virtually every dilemma that Trump or his toadies face. He is so entirely incapable of forming a coherent thought that attacking the press is just easier and, for him, more personally satisfying.

SEE THIS: Trump Brags About Getting Fascist Control of the Media in Bonkers Truth Social Post

Naturally, Trump’s Cabinet follows the same unprincipled path of anti-constitutional dismissal of the free press. His Minister of War Crimes, Pete Hegseth, held a press harangue on Thursday morning to rant about (and at) the media for their audacity in covering Trump’s war against Iran accurately. Hegseth looked directly into the assembled cameras, pointing his finger at them, and bellowed that…

“I stand here today speaking to you, the American people. Not through filters. Not through reporters. Not through cable news spin. A dishonest and anti-Trump press will stop at nothing to downplay progress, amplify every cost, and call into question every step. Sadly, TDS is in their DNA. They want president Trump to fail. But you, the American people, know better.”

Trump's Minister of War Crimes, Pete Hegseth, attacks the media because he has no facts to support his illegal war against Iran. So he whines about the press asking legitimate questions:"They [the media] want Trump to fail. But you, the American people, know better."Ummm, OK.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-03-19T17:42:28.346Z

First of all, Hegseth’s insistence that he wasn’t speaking through reporters is downright hysterical considering that he was literally speaking through reporters. Well, at least a few among the MAGA-friendly hacks that he allows into the press room. Or did he think that the American people were all in the room with him?

What’s more, Hegseth’s whining that the media would “call into question every step” that the administration takes is a pathetic complaint that just reveals his ignorance of the fact that it is the media’s job to question any administration. Or does he think that the press should be blind sycophants who adore everything Dear Leader does and says? (You don’t have to answer that).

It was, however, generous of Hegseth to leave it up to the American people to decide for themselves what they think about Trump’s “little excursion” into Iran that has already cost 13 American lives, more than 1,400 Iranians, and cost over $12 billion dollars. On top of that, Trump is now asking for $200 billion more. For what he doesn’t actually say.

The American people have made their disapproval of all of that well known in numerous polls, with big majorities opposing the action. Furthermore, another survey shows that Trump’s handling of the war is also a disaster, with his approval on Iran at a dismal 36%, and disapproval at 56%. In the same survey his personal approval hits a new low at only 35%.

Not to worry though. Trump is buoyed by the glassy-eyed adoration of his cult following MAGA minions. A poll of their support for Trump came in at an astoundingly high 100%. Never mind that the MAGA mob makes up a paltry 27% of American voters. And their hive-minded uniformity affirms that MAGA is hopelessly brainwashed. In fact, IT’S A CULT! And it is that groveling gaggle that Hegseth is actually speaking to through the media that he and Trump despise.

IN A PANIC Trump Threatens GOP to Pass His Anti-Voting Act, Because His ‘Reasons’ Are Pure BS

Posted by on March 17, 2026 at 1:35 pm. 2 Comments :

For several weeks Donald Trump has been fixated on passing what he calls the “Save America Act.” He has elevated it to a position of top priority, declaring that it must be passed “at the expense of everything else.” He even declared that he will sign no other legislation until after this bill is passed by Congress and put on his desk for signature.

Donald Trump Circling the Drain

Trump’s obsession with his Voter Suppression Act is based entirely on his fear that Republicans are going to be brutally beaten in the upcoming midterm elections. He knows that such an electoral defeat would make him even more pathetically impotent than he is currently. And he views any challenge to what he sees as his divine right of MAGA-sty as intolerable and must be prohibited.

SEE THIS: Trump Whines That He Has ‘Accomplished So Much’ That ‘We Shouldn’t Even Have An Election’

In the past week Trump has posted several comments on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, demanding that his Republican toadies in Congress obey his authority and pass the anti-voting bill. And not because he wants fair elections. To the contrary, he’s been openly pitching that the bill would result in Republicans never losing for the next 50 years.

On Tuesday morning he leveled his most hostile commands to date. In his familiar hyperbolic rage Trump called the bill “one of the most IMPORTANT & CONSEQUENTIAL pieces of legislation in the history of Congress, and America itself.” He lied that voting by mail is “rigged” and that “We are the only Country in the World that allows” mail-in voting. At least 30 other countries do. Then he elaborated saying that…

“Only sick, demented, or deranged people in the House or Senate could vote against THE SAVE AMERICA ACT. If they do, each one of these points, separately, will be used against the user in his/her political campaign for office – A guaranteed loss! […] I WILL NEVER (EVER!) ENDORSE ANYONE WHO VOTES AGAINST ‘SAVE AMERICA!!!'”

OMG! Not THAT! Trump is threatening to withhold his precious endorsement from any Republicans who defy his will. It’s notable that he needs to resort to threats, because his powers of persuasion suck. And he has no credible arguments to convince anyone that the bill has real merit.

However, given his current abysmal standings in the polls, his endorsement is what is more likely to result in “a guaranteed loss.” Not to mention the unpopularity of the bill itself. Which is why Republicans in the Senate are leaning against voting for the bill in the first place. For the record, this isn’t the first time Trump has bellowed out this sort of threat. Last week he unleashed this bit of fascist theory wherein he insists that “anybody who votes against The Save America Act should not be allowed to run for public office.”

There is virtually no chance of Trump’s Voter Suppression bill passing in the Senate. It would require 60 votes, and there are only 53 Republican senators. Democrats are united in opposition. So Trump is spinning his wheels with no possible hope for victory. Plus, he will end up having to revoke his endorsement for a few Republicans who vote against the bill. That is if he keeps his word, which is not something he is known for.

Trump Brags About Getting Fascist Control of the Media in Bonkers Truth Social Post

Posted by on March 14, 2026 at 1:16 pm. 0 Comments :

Throughout his entire time in public life, Donald Trump has had a love/hate relationship with the media. What that boils down to is that he loves (and needs) it when they give him attention, but he hates it when that attention is honest reporting about his rampant incompetence and flaming stupidity.

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

Donald Trump

As a result of this acutely befuddled psychosis, Trump regularly resorts to whining about his treatment by the press (that he maligns in Stalinist terms as “the enemy of the people.”) in a manner that would shame a cranky seven year old. Trump’s penchant for petulant sniveling is a core feature of his severely disturbed psyche. He has even boasted that he is “the most fabulous whiner.” No, really. It’s on video…

SEE THIS: Victim-in-Chief: Trump is the most Cowardly, Whining, Crybaby to Ever Be President

Now Trump is taking his war on the media to a new level of totalitarian obsessions. On Saturday morning he posted a graphic on Truth Social with the ominous headline “PRESIDENT TRUMP IS RESHAPING THE MEDIA.” Never mind that that is NOT his job. In fact, it is an overt breach of the Constitution’s First Amendment protection of the free press. But dishonoring the principles that underpin American democracy has never bothered Trump before.

Trump posts a horrifying graphic that celebrates his fantasy of having total fascist control of the media.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-03-14T19:44:57.092Z

The graphic that Trump posted is a list of what he thinks are his contributions to reforming the media. However, almost nothing that he includes in his list is actually a reform. More accurately they would be described as improper, and perhaps illegal, interference. And worse, they exemplify Trump’s compulsion to replace free speech with autocratic repression and the state-sponsored censorship of fascists.

For instance, of the 12 items that he celebrates are “GONE,” seven of them are simply observances that some journalists who he dislikes are no longer working for a particular network. Although they are all still working. Of special note is the extremely darkened photo Trump used for Black journalist Joy Reid. The other five items in his list express his thrill that some of the media – and hence the public’s right to know – has been hampered by funding cuts, layoffs, and ratings declines. None of those things, however, are what anyone would call reforms.

Trump’s graphic goes on to list what he thinks are reforms. They include bragging about his interviews, lying about the success of his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, and celebrating having won settlements (aka bribes) from cowardly media corporations. Once again – not reforms.

The only things that be called reforms are two items wherein Trump praises the work of his FCC boss, Brendan Carr, who is faithfully running the agency like a good cult minion who is devoted to helping Trump assume tyrannical control of the media. Carr coincidentally (?) tweeted the same morning that…

“Broadcasters that are running hoaxes and news distortions – also known as the fake news – have a chance now to correct course before their license renewals come up. The law is clear. Broadcasters must operate in the public interest, and they will lose their licenses if they do not. […] When a political candidate is able to win a landslide election victory after in the face of hoaxes and distortions, there is something very wrong.”

So Carr is openly threatening the broadcast licenses of news networks if they fail to unflinchingly support the Trump regime. Somebody needs to tell him that broadcast networks are not licensed by the federal government, so there aren’t any licenses for him to deny. Although local broadcasters are licensed. But is he going to start rejecting license renewals for over 200 local affiliates? Each of whom would challenge his efforts as unconstitutional.

What’s more, Carr destroys his own argument by noting that Trump won (although not nearly by a landslide, only by 1.5%) despite what he says were “hoaxes and distortions.” So he’s arguing that the media doesn’t have the power to influence election outcomes. Which contradicts his complaint. That, however, doesn’t deter Trump from persisting in his campaign of perpetual whining and his aspirations of dictatorship. Although, he seems to agree that the public can make up their own minds regardless of what the media says…

Crybaby-in-Chief Donald Trump is again whining about news coverage, calling the NY Times and Wall Street Journal "Lowlife Papers" that want America to lose the war in Iran. He says they are "sick and demented people."But he's right that the American people "understand what is happening."

Trump’s Secretary of Wars, Pete Hegseth, Openly Yearns For Government Control of the Media

Posted by on March 13, 2026 at 2:02 pm. 0 Comments :

Nearly two weeks ago, Donald Trump launched a wholly unprovoked, illegal war against Iran that many experts have concluded was his attempt to juice his historically slumping approval ratings, or as a favor to his foreign friends (e.g. Israel, Russia, Saudi Arabia, etc.), and/or to deflect attention from his unsavory relationship with pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and his obstruction of the release of the Epstein files.

Nevertheless, the war against Iran, that Trump says he has already won and can end any time wants (but doesn’t want to), continues to rage on, producing more tragic injuries and deaths of American soldiers, and hundreds more of Iranian civilians. But not to worry. Trump’s Secretary of “Wars,” Pete Hegseth, is laser focused on the “excursion” (as Trump calls it), and is managing the conflict exactly as you might expect a former Fox New host to do…

On Friday Hegseth held another press conference to lie about the progress of the war. In each of his prior media avails, Hegseth has spent more time lambasting the media than providing any honest information about the what’s going on in Iran. This time was no different as Hegseth sought to portray any bad news as “fake,” while assuming the facade of a macho war gamer in his mom’s basement (video below). For instance…

“We will keep pushing, keep advancing, no quarter, no mercy for our enemies. Yet some in this crew, in the press, just can’t stop. Allow me to make a few suggestions. People look up at the TV and they see banners, they see headlines. I used to be in that business. And I know that everything is written intentionally.”

For the record, according to international humanitarian law, orders to give “no quarter, no mercy,” are regarded as war crimes. And Hegseth’s bragging that he used to be in the media business only affirms his experience with, and devotion to, surface level appearances. He went on to say that…

“More fake news from CNN: ‘Reports that the Trump administration underestimated the Iran war’s impact on the Strait of Hormuz.’ Patently ridiculous, of course. For decades, Iran has threatened shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. This is always what they do. Hold the Strait hostage. CNN doesn’t think we thought of that. It’s a fundamentally unserious report. The sooner David Ellison takes over that network, the better.’

If the Trump regime did anticipate that Iran would block the Strait, then why didn’t they do anything about it in advance to mitigate its impact? Did they just decide to let Iran shut down oil traffic in the Strait, roiling energy markets and raising gas prices? Because that’s what it seems like based on another comment by Hegseth, who said that “The only thing prohibiting transit in the straits right now is Iran shooting at shipping.” Really? What an enlightening update. Thanks Captain Obvious.

Hegseth then added that the Strait would be “open for transit if Iran didn’t do that.” That’s true. But it’s like saying that Mar-a-Lago would be open for pedophiles if Trump…Oh wait. It already is!

Even worse was Hegseth’s view that “The sooner David Ellison takes over that network, the better.” He is flagrantly advocating the sort of fascist takeover of the media that is practiced in authoritarian regimes like Russia, China, and North Korea. And he is admitting that the acquisition of CNN by David and Larry Ellison would achieve the right-wing bias that critics of the merger have warned about.

Hegseth’s official DoD Twitter account was apparently proud of his remarks about Iran and the media. It posted a tweet saying that “SECWAR JUST LIT UP THE FAKE NEWS:” Perhaps in their own imaginations. More realistically, Hegseth just provided more proof of his dishonesty and disrespect for the First Amendment.

What’s more, Hegseth was saying all of this in a press room where he has previously banned most of the media that isn’t already MAGA-friendly. Among the “reporters” in the room were those from Trump-fluffing networks such as Lindell TV, One America News, and Real America News. So it’s no wonder that there wasn’t any serious pushback or follow ups.

Trump Says He Knows Where Iranian Sleeper Cells Are in the U.S. But He Isn’t Going After Them?

Posted by on March 12, 2026 at 1:32 pm. 1 Comments :

In case anyone is wondering, the war against Iran is going great, according to Donald Trump. That’s right. Field Marshal “Bone Spurs” Trump says that it has already been won, even though it is just beginning. And the Iranian nuclear facilities that he obliterated last summer have somehow been obliterated again.

Donald Trump

One thing that can be relied upon with regard to anything that Trump says is that it will be fervently positive about whatever he has done. It will also likely be a flagrant lie. And we can expect Fox News to back it up no matter how preposterous.

SEE THIS: Fox News Has Already Declared Victory in Iran, While Trump is Threatening ‘Complete Destruction’

There has been much speculation of how Iran might retaliate against the United States for its unprovoked and illegal attack. Iran has already been firing missiles at U.S. bases in nearby countries. And they have effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz, where about 20% of the world’s oil shipments pass through. More than 140 American soldiers have been hospitalized, and eight have been killed. But Trump sees no problems with any of that.

True to form, Trump is now bragging about his management of national security here at home while his war is raging in the Middle East. On Thursday he was asked a question by Peter Doocy of Fox News about the risks faced by Americans domestically. His answer was pure Trumpian bullpucky (video below)…

Doocy: If Iran tries to hit us back, have you been briefed about how many Iran sleeper cells there could be inside the US right now?
Trump: I have been, and a lot of people came in through Biden with his stupid open border. But we know where most of them are. We’ve got our eye on all of them. I think.
Doocy: Is it dozens?
Trump: They came in through the open border policies of “sleepy” Joe Biden. One of the worst – the worst president in the history of our country. And we’ve got our eyes on all of them. But the war itself is being prosecuted at a level that nobody’s seen before. It’s pretty amazing to watch.

Well, that’s comforting, isn’t it? Trump knows all about the Iranian sleeper cells in the U.S. And he’s got his eyes on them. All of them. He “thinks” (???) Although he ignores the question about how many there are. Instead, he shifts to blaming and insulting President Biden. Never mind that Biden has been out of office for nearly a year and a half, so Trump is wholly responsible for whatever the situation is today. And to Trump, the former reality TV game show host, that situation is “pretty amazing to watch.” It’ll get great ratings.

However, there is something critical that Trump is missing. If he knows where all of these terrorist Iranian sleeper cells are, why hasn’t he arrested and deported them? Why aren’t ICE agents swarming their hideouts? Trump sure hasn’t been shy about arresting, deporting, and even killing American citizens for exercising their constitutional rights to protest. But he’s letting Iranian terrorists remain to plot against the American people?

If Trump actually has any information about these alleged sleeper cells, he should act on it immediately, or give the information to state authorities who will. Why would he delay? It would be too horrific to speculate that Trump might want to see a domestic terrorist attack, in order to give him an excuse to interfere with the upcoming elections, or to declare martial law and commit even more grievous violations of the Constitution.

As it is, Trump commits so many atrocities, so frequently, that it’s difficult to keep up with them. Consequently, he often gets away with behavior like this that puts the lives of millions at risk. He is so blatantly and dangerously incompetent that it boggles the mind to consider that he even has a small contingent of cult followers who can still stomach his antics. But then, that’s the nature of a cult.

HOLY CRAPOLI! Trump says that there are sleeper cells in the U.S. of Iranian terrorists who entered the country illegally because of "sleepy Joe."And he knows where they are? But he's not arresting or deporting them?But he is arresting, deporting, and even killing American citizens?
