New Trump Campaign Slogan: The Economy is Doing Unbelievably From the Standpoint of Wall Street

Posted by on August 14, 2026 at 3:11 pm. 1 Comments :

Democrats are excitedly anticipating the upcoming midterm elections. Every poll shows them winning a majority in the House of Representatives, and likely in the Senate as well. Meanwhile, Republicans are suffering from one of the lowest public approval ratings in modern history.

The dismal prospects for the GOP (Greedy One Percent) are driven by the record low ratings for their Dear Leader, Donald Trump. He is hovering around the mid-to-low thirties, and trending even lower. Republican candidates are desperately trying to convince voters that everything is hunky dory, and their financial burdens are figments of their imaginations. The MAGA Party seems to be running on a reprise of the “red scare” tactics of the 1950s when there were communists lurking around every corner.

SEE THIS: BE AFRAID! Trump’s Propaganda Secretary Warns Fox News About Imaginary Marxist Democrats

Apparently the communism fear mongering hasn’t been getting the results they hoped for. So now Trump is trying out a new campaign theme that is virtually guaranteed to be even worse. In a Friday morning press gaggle, Trump told reports that…

“I have a lot of things that are happening. A lot of good things. The economy is doing unbelievably from the standpoint of Wall Street.”

HOORAY! Things are going fantastically well for Wall Street. So if you are a big corporation, or someone with investments in them, you’re on Easy Street. If not, stop your whining and be happy for your capitalist overlords who are generously trickling down on you with minimum wage jobs under slave-like conditions.

After all, the corporatist moguls know what’s best for the little people. And Trump is their messiah. He truly understands what it’s like to struggle through these difficult times. Just listen to what he told his MAGA cult rally in Uniondale on Long Island, New York today…

“I just say this: For you to pay a tiny little bit more for your gasoline, just remember…you’re at $4.00 – it’s okay. I’ll never apologize. I did the right thing.”

SEE? It’s OK for YOU to pay a little more (actually about 30% more) for gas (and for groceries, and housing, and healthcare, etc.). So why are you complaining? And Trump, whose incompetence, negligence, and greed are responsible for it all, will never apologize. Because a messiah is infallible and never does anything wrong.

Trump’s stewardship of the economy has been a flaming fiasco. He has increased inflation, exploded the deficit, and cut services for everything from food for low income families, to medicine for seniors, to education and more. And in the meantime he is spending hundreds of millions on ballrooms and statues, and billions on gift jets from Qatar and illegal wars.

So let’s it y’all: “The economy is doing unbelievably from the standpoint of Wall Street.” And “It’s OK to pay more for gas.” Put that message on some red hats. Have some posters printed up. And be sure to vote in November. Which really, REALLY, can’t come soon enough.

HALLELUJAH! The Affordability Crisis is Over According to Fox News – After Talking to Some CEOs

Posted by on August 9, 2026 at 3:00 pm. 1 Comments :

The American economy is presently in what is called a “K-shaped economy,” wherein the rich are getting richer and the middle-class and poor are struggling to keep their heads above water. It’s a rather common situation during Republican administrations that favor the wealthy and corporations.

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

Fox News, Maria Bartiromo

Under Donald Trump this economic disparity has gotten worse. But the only thing that you will ever hear from him and his MAGA cult cohorts is that things are fantastic because the stock market is rising. Never mind that most Americans have no market holdings to benefit from any of that. The delusions that plague Trump prevent him from seeing the economic realities. Or even the realities of his abysmal approval ratings…

SEE THIS: Delusional Trump: ‘My REAL Polling Numbers Are the Best They Have Ever Been’ – OK Grandpa

On Sunday morning Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda (aka Fox News) went to work to shore up Trump’s standing on the economy that he has wrecked. The “Curvy Couch” potatoes of Fox and Friends welcomed their network colleague – and Fox’s Senior Trump-Fluffer – Maria Bartiromo to the program to fire up the gaslighting. Bartiromo engaged in the following exchange with the weekend co-hosts…

Griff Jenkins: So Maria, let me pick up on this past jobs report quickly and get your assessment on the fact that, you know, Trump is constantly talking about record markets you mentioned there, rising wages, and what we also see, fewer layoffs. But this week already we’re gonna be hearing Democrats about how horrible the economy is.
Bartiromo: That’s just propaganda. I mean, look, things are going well. And I think we all feel it. Look at where we are right now. You’ve got job creation. You’ve got economic growth. You’ve got $18 trillion of new investments. The president’s main priority has been to put America first […] But when you actually look at what’s going on, things feel pretty good. I’ve spoken with a number of CEOs who tell me that business is up, strongly. And it has to do partly with the “Big Beautiful Bill.”
Rachel Campos-Duffy: I hear you, and that’s all great news, and that’s what Americans need to hear. But what do you think is leading to the disconnect in maybe some voters and Americans not feeling that way? So why is that do you think?
Bartiromo: I think it’s messaging. I really do. I mean the Republicans need to do a better job of telling their story and communicating what the “Big Beautiful Bill” has done for earnings.

And there you have it! Let’s set aside for the time being that they were all lying that the recent jobs report was positive (there was a decline of 23,000 jobs), about rising wages (they are trailing inflation), and about fewer layoffs (which have exceeded 300,000 year to date). So no one should be surprised if Democrats speak to those facts.

Bartiromo’s response, however, was among the most reality-averse imaginable. She is pitching a preposterously rosy economy that includes such fallacies as Trump’s made up “$18 trillion of new investments,” and his “main priority…to put America first.” Which is only true if you believe that fighting a war in Iran, imposing inflationary tariffs throughout the world, and building vanity projects around D.C. are putting America first.

The most ridiculous part of Bartiromo’s commentary was her conclusion that “things feel pretty good” because she’s “spoken with a number of CEOs.” And who would know better than a bunch of rich corporate executives how it feels to be struggling to pay for groceries, gas, housing, healthcare, etc.?

What’s more, if the ungrateful American people who are complaining about such financial burdens were only subjected to better messaging – i.e. propaganda/gaslighting – they wouldn’t feel burdened at all. So maybe it’s time for Trump to have Congress pass another bill that they call the “Everything is Beautiful So STFU Bill.”

That should solve all of the problems that Trump and his MAGA Republican confederates are whining about. It will juice his approval ratings, and stop the electoral Blue Wave that’s coming in November. And it will accomplish all of that without having to actually do anything that actually helps anybody. So it fits the GOP playbook perfectly.

Lara Trump Brags on Fox News that Donald Trump Got Gas Prices Down – By Screwing Up on COVID!

Posted by on August 2, 2026 at 3:03 pm. 0 Comments :

The mission of Fox News from its inception was to advance the the right-wing, conservative agenda, and to elect Republicans. Thirty years later their commitment to those goals has only grown stronger and they have worked fervently to redouble their efforts on behalf of the GOP’s current kingpin, Donald Trump.

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

Donald Trump Fox News

One of the best indicators of how devoted Fox News is to an ideology is the presence of Trump’s Daughter-in-Lawlessness, Lara Trump, as a host of her own show on the network. For an alleged news enterprise that once brandished the slogan “fair and balanced,” it’s a steep fall from the already low bar they had set for themselves. They even sunk so low as to have Lara interview her Sugardaddy-in-Law on her show.

SEE THIS: Trump Humiliates Himself in a Hysterical Interview By His Daughter-in-Law Lara Trump on Fox News

On Saturday Lara took on the additional duty of guest-hosting Fox and Friends. During that episode she openly admitted that she and Fox News are not independent journalists, but instead are partisan representatives of the Republican Party. She said that…

“As Republicans, we need to do a better job of reminding the American people what this president and what this party has done for the economy. Don’t forget that under Joe Biden we saw an over 9% inflation, it’s at 3.5% right now. You look at the energy policy of this president. That has been monumental for bringing costs down. Obviously you see gas prices aren’t perfect right now, but don’t forget, $1.77 a gallon during Trump one. We know he knows how to get us there. We have the higher gas prices right now because of Iran.”

There you have it. Lara spoke “As Republicans, we need to do a better job…” Then she enumerated what she believed to be the failures of President Biden and the successes of the GOP under the guidance of Papa Trump. And true to form, she brazenly lied. For instance, while inflation did rise to 9.1% during Biden’s term, he brought it down to 3% by the time he handed off the office to Trump. Since then, Trump has presided over an increase in inflation to 3.5%.

However, perhaps the worst part of Lara’s commentary was her boasting about Trump’s alleged ability to bring gas prices down. She offered as proof the fact that during his first term gas prices declined to $1.77 per gallon. So according to Lara, “he knows how to get us there.”

Which is great to know. All he has to do now is horribly mismanage another pandemic like COVID and gas will once again be affordable. Because that was what happened during Trump’s first term that resulted in $1.77/gallon gas. And it only cost a few more than a million American lives.

In Trump’s second term he appears to be heading the opposite direction. Instead of killing a million Americans in order to bring gas prices down, he’s killing Iranians in order to get gas prices up. If there is some logic in that strategy, it is lost on American consumers, who are also being burdened with higher prices for everything else due to his idiotic and inflationary tariffs.

Lara went on in her commentary to further align herself and her Fox News colleagues with the Republican Party. She added that…

“I think we need to do a better job of messaging that. Because if you leave it up to the legacy media they’re gonna continue to hammer this president on Iran. A situation that, thank God, he’s tackling because no one else would. But I think that’s something we need to hear more from the RNC and the Republicans on.”

So Lara is shamelessly serving as the de facto communications boss of the Republican Party, and doling out advice that she thinks will help their faltering electoral prospects. And in her opinion, the Party’s problems have nothing to do with their unpopular policies that ignore the welfare of the American people. It’s just a messaging problem. Which she seems to think is the responsibility of the media that spends too much time reporting on trivialities like war.

You can’t entirely blame Lara for this. She’s a mouthpiece for the benefit of her family. But Fox News should be endlessly shamed for hiring her and allowing her to disgorge such self-serving propaganda across the network’s programming day. But then, why would they change now after doing that for thirty years?

HUH? Stable Genius Trump Threatens to Tariff Mexico for its Lettuce and Canada for its Smoke

Posted by on July 24, 2026 at 3:53 pm. 0 Comments :

In the midst of an economic downturn that has most Americans struggling to afford basic necessities such as gas, groceries, healthcare, housing, etc., the current occupier of the White House, Donald Trump, is working diligently to make things even worse.

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

Donald Trump, Insane, Straight Jacket

Typically, Trump is demonstrating that he couldn’t care less about the hardships that are burdening the American people. But he is also ignoring the harm he’s causing to the electoral prospects of his Republican confederates, whose looming defeats will contribute to his becoming the lamest of ducks for the last two years of his term.

SEE THIS: LOL: Trump Posts Democratic Governor’s Memo Proving He ‘Has Zero Credibility on Election Security’

So how is Trump responding to the economic crises that he faces as the midterm elections approach? He’s persisting with, and even escalating, his reckless, illegal, and expensive war against Iran. And on top of that, he’s threatening America’s allies with expanding his inflationary tariffs, which will result in even higher prices for American consumers.

On Friday morning Trump announced that he is increasing tariffs on our Europe Union trading partners, supposedly because they levied fines on American technology companies for violations of EU laws. That’s a profoundly stupid way to react to the judicial rulings by foreign courts against private corporations. But it wasn’t the stupidest thing that Trump did Friday morning. Have a listen to the following exchange with Peter Doocy of Fox News…

Doocy: There’s a nasty parasite that is giving people in nine states explosive diarrhea. When is it gonna be safe to eat lettuce again.
Trump: I don’t know. I haven’t thought about it. First time I’ve been asked that question. Are you eating a lot of lettuce recently?
Doocy: There’s this food coming in, I guess from Mexico. It’s tainted. It’s making a lot of people sick. That is the CDC’s terminology.
Trump: I think what it is, we’re gonna put a major tariff on Mexico because of the lettuce, and we’re gonna put a big tariff on Canada because of the smoke.

Q: When is it going to be safe to eat lettuce again?Trump: I don't know. I haven't thought about it. There's this, there's this food coming in, I guess. From Mexico. We're gonna put a major tariff on Mexico because of the lettuce, and we're gonna put a big tariff on Canada because of the smoke.

— Headquarters (@headquartersnews.bsky.social) 2026-07-24T19:47:42.284Z

Let’s break down this episode of Trumpian trash-talk, beginning with his admission that, before this, he has never thought about the health crisis that is sickening thousands of Americans, and when it might be resolved. That should bring comfort to a nation reeling with anxiety about what is safe to eat for themselves and their families.

More troubling is when he does get around to addressing his solution to the problem, it is a kneejerk, all-purpose proposal to slap tariffs on the “offending” country. Where Trump gets the idea that a tariff will result in untainted produce is anyone’s guess. It will just make all produce more expensive in the U.S.

Making matters worse is Trump’s threat to add more tariffs to Canada. He seems to think that making everything that the U.S. imports from Canada more expensive is a good way to put an end to wildfires and the nefarious actions by those evil, anti-American global wind patterns.

So Trump is punishing America’s top trading partners for ridiculous reasons that lean more toward satisfying his bruised ego, than resolving real problems. What’s next? Will Trump slap tariffs on France for not awarding him the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival? Will he tariff McDonalds for making him fat? Will he tariff Blue States for not voting for him? Oh wait…he already did that, sort of…

Big Baby Trump Throws a Tantrum, Refuses to Sign Housing Bill Unless He Gets Voter Suppression

Posted by on July 10, 2026 at 2:48 pm. 0 Comments :

The childish antics of America’s Toddler-in-Chief, Donald Trump, continue to cast an embarrassing shadow over his occupation of the White House and, unfortunately, the entire nation. His malignant narcissism is always the driving force for every decision he makes and is revealed in every public utterance.

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

Donald Trump

On Friday Trump provided yet another example of his obsessive fixation on himself and what matters most to him, rather than what matters to the American people who he is supposed to be serving. Lately Trump’s attention has been focused singularly on shoving his absurdly named “Save America Act” down the throats of the Congress and the nation’s voters who mostly oppose it. In recent surveys just 37 percent of Americans said they support it. And it is no mystery why…

SEE THIS: UH-OH: Trump Admits that His Phony ‘Save America Act’ is Really Meant to Rig Elections for MAGA

Trump took precious time away from his critical presidential duties of cleaning up fountains and monuments, and building vanity tributes to himself, in order to further advance his Voter Suppression Act. The comment that he posted on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, raged that…

“I will not sign the Housing Bill, which has been fully approved by Congress and sent to the White House, in PROTEST over the fact that the United States Senate is not capable of passing THE SAVE AMERICA ACT […] If the Dumocrats, or any RINO (or worse!) working with them, do not allow a positive Vote on SAVE AMERICA, TERMINATE THE FILIBUSTER, and pass this.”

Big Baby Trump is throwing another tantrum with his refusal to sign the Housing Bill, because the GOP-run Senate won't (can't) pass his so-called "Save America Act" (aka Voter suppression Act).Trump is prioritizing rigging the election for Republicans over helping Americans afford housing.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-07-10T16:30:36.670Z

OH NOES! Trump is withholding his signature “in PROTEST!” And if he doesn’t get his way, well, you better watch out! He knows that he and his party are facing electoral doom in the upcoming midterm elections so, in desperation, he is making impotent threats to prioritize a blatantly partisan bill intended to rig the election in favor of his MAGA Republicans, over enacting bipartisan legislation that would actually help Americans to afford housing.

What’s more, the Housing Bill passed both Houses of Congress with veto-proof margins. Trump’s Voter Suppression bill can’t even get enough votes in the Senate to pass from Republicans. So Trump’s threat to “TERMINATE THE FILIBUSTER” is pitifully hollow. And if Trump actually fails to sign the Housing Bill by midnight, and doesn’t veto it, it will become law without his signature anyway.

For the record, the Housing Bill was originally a legislative achievement that Republicans held up with pride. Even Trump’s Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, tweeted that Trump would sign the bill and called it “one of the most significant pieces of housing affordability legislation in American history,” and also said that the “historic bill signing is another promise made, promise kept.”

Not quite! That was all before Trump flipped on it. A few days after Leavitt’s tweet, Trump whined that “It’s a big yawn…To me, compared to the SAVE America Act, just about everything is a big yawn.” Which is emblematic of Trump’s attitude toward governing. If it doesn’t matter to him, it doesn’t matter. And just about everything that matters to the American people is “big yawn.” Is anyone surprised that Trump’s approval rating is in the toilet?

Trump Launches Fake ‘Freedom Fuel’ Gas Station Chain to Pretend that He Lowered Gas Prices

Posted by on July 7, 2026 at 3:29 pm. 0 Comments :

During the 2024 presidential campaign, Donald Trump made a flurry of promises that he said he would fulfill on “Day One” if he were reelected. They included ending Russia’s war against Ukraine, revealing a healthcare plan to replace Obamacare, and balancing the budget.

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

Donald Trump

Obviously, none of those promises, and several others, were kept. He never intended to keep them. They were just hollow pledges of things that he knew he couldn’t accomplish, but was compelled to flagrantly lie because he was so desperate for the votes that he needed to regain power and to stay out of prison.

SEE THIS: Republican James Comer Gives Fox News a Damn Good Reason to Vote Democratic and Flip the House

Another vacant promise that Trump made was that he would reduce the prices on necessities like groceries, housing, healthcare and gas. Instead, prices for those things went up after Trump’s reoccupation of the White House. And especially with regard to gas, the American people were burdened with higher costs directly related to Trump’s reckless and illegal war against Iran.

So what’s a pathological liar to do when he finds himself sinking to record lows in public approval due to problems that he created and for which he has no solution? Well, in Trump’s case, he relies on his imagined prowess for lying. On July 1, Trump posted a comment on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, that said…

“Just as I promised, Oil Prices are plummeting FAST, and Gas Prices at the pump are dropping too…I am pleased to announce that a VERY smart Retailer, located throughout the Northeast, is stepping up, and wishing the People of Philadelphia a ‘Happy Birthday!’ On July 3rd, the Freedom Fuel Network will be lowering gas prices at 25 ‘FREEDOM FUEL’ Stations across the Greater Philadelphia Area. This Retailer is taking the lead, and others should follow. They are doing this because they love the U.S.A.”

On the morning of July 7, Trump followed up his announcement with another that said that “FREEDOM FUEL HAS ARRIVED…lowering the price at the pump to $3.47 for our 47th President.”

There’s just one little problem. Trump’s “Freedumb Fuel” is not a real gas station chain: It is a promotional branding campaign that has fitted a measly half dozen existing stations with temporary signs plastered over those of the real station. Industry analysts noted these discounts are likely subsidized by an outside entity, as standard retailers would otherwise lose money on each gallon sold.

So the whole thing is just another Trump scam. It won’t last but a few days. It’s promotional price of $3.47 per gallon was chosen by Trump to honor himself as the 47th president. Even so, it’s still significantly more than the $3.12 per gallon that Trump inherited from President Biden, and which Trump promised to get down to $2.00.

Just like every other Trump fraud, this one is going to cause more problems for the American people. Gas prices are likely to go higher since the the Iran war is continuing, despite Trump insisting on an almost daily basis that it is already over.

Trump’s solution of throwing a sheet over all of the problems that he can’t solve isn’t going to work. It’s just going to make things worse. And while he may believe that people don’t see through his lies, he will find out in November that he’s wrong.

Trump’s Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt Tells Fox News that Gen Z is Lazy, So Send Them to Iran

Posted by on July 3, 2026 at 3:44 pm. 1 Comments :

The affordability crisis in America has been the most prominent storyline of the 2026 midterm election year. The hardships endured by people trying to cover bills for gas, groceries, housing, healthcare, and more, have been uppermost on the minds of voters, as well as most conscientious politicians. Which, by definition, leaves out Donald Trump.

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

Donald Trump and Karoline Leavitt

Throughout this debate Trump has distinguished himself by firmly taking positions on both sides. He has swung wildly from claiming credit for ending the the crisis, to insisting that it is a Democratic hoax that never existed in the first place. Most recently, Trump announced a campaign slogan that will surely resonate with the nation’s struggling families…

SEE THIS: Trump Reveals His Midterm Election Theme: ‘If The Communists Get In You’ll Never Fish Again’

In an attempt to reinforce the Trump regime’s position that affordability isn’t really a problem, Trump dispatched his Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, to her regular post on Fox News for a friendly interview with Jesse Watters. The segment delivered some of the most callously oblivious commentaries on the subject imaginable.

Watters: Some of these kids, and I call them kids because they’re in their 20s and they’ve never had real jobs and they’re complaining things are expensive in the U.S. Yes, things are expensive when you don’t have a real job. Do you think that’s getting traction? Complaining?
Leavitt: Unfortunately, I do because this generation, my generation, I hate to say it, Gen Z and those younger than me have been raised with just silver spoons in their mouths, just getting everything handed to them. That’s not the values this country was built on. […]
Watters: Is it laziness?
Leavitt: A little bit.
Watters: Because the professor said the country’s corrupt. It’s evil. And we just need to shake them down and hand money out.
Leavitt: It’s laziness and it’s liberal indoctrination. You bring up a great point about our education system. […]
Watters: I say if they misbehave just make all these young kids join the army.
Leavitt: Send them to Cuba. Send them to Iran.

So to start off, Watters asserts that the only reason things are perceived as expensive by young people is that they don’t have “real” jobs. And Leavitt agrees, accusing them of having been born into privilege and never knowing the meaning of work. Elaborating, they both malign them as “lazy.” They also both neglect to recognize that it isn’t just young people who are plagued by the economic burdens of the Trump agenda. Americans of all ages are well aware of Trump’s disastrous effect on the U.S. economy.

Leavitt and Watters are delivering a great message from the MAGA team in an election year during which they are already projected to suffer significant losses. They are telling a critical voting bloc that if you’re troubled with how expensive things are, it’s just because you’re a lazy communist who has been indoctrinated by evil college professors. Even worse, Leavitt and Watters propose that these spoiled, youthful, complaining, ingrates be forced to join the army and be sent to Cuba or Iran. That’ll teach ’em.

Leavitt went on to promote homeschooling and Christian schools for parents who “don’t want their children being taught these communist and liberal ideas slammed down their throat.” She prefers the fascist and conservative ideas embraced by Trump and his MAGA confederates. Which is an angle that Democrats will be happy to see Republicans adopting as November approaches. As is often the case, what Republicans are doing to advance their agenda will be truly fantastic – for Democrats.

RURAL REVOLT: Will Trump Lash Out At the ‘Radical Left Lunatic’ Rural Voters Who Now Hate Him?

Posted by on June 6, 2026 at 1:54 pm. 0 Comments :

Donald Trump once promised that if he was elected there would be so much winning that people would get sick of it. Well, he was partly right. He got elected, and people are sick. However, winning hasn’t been the catastrophe that he predicted.

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

Donald Trump Walking the Plank

Trump’s win/loss record is not exactly something to brag about. His economy is in the toilet. The Republican majority Congress just voted to rein in his war powers authority. His “weaponization” slush fund was ruled illegal in federal court. So were his inflationary tariffs. And his reckless and illegal war against Iran continues despite his relentless and impotent declarations of victory.

SEE THIS: BREAKING? The Iran War Will End in ‘Days’ According to Trump, Who Has Been Saying that for Months

No wonder Trump is also losing badly in polls measuring the public’s approval of him, or more accurately, disapproval. He has been hitting new lows with nearly every new survey. And it isn’t just his repulsive persona that is dragging him down. His policies are broadly unpopular, including economics, foreign affairs, immigration, and his multitude of ego-boosting projects to pay tribute to himself.

On Friday, CNN’s data analyst, Harry Enten, revealed the results of a new poll that specifically surveyed rural voters. That’s a demographic that has been among the most reliable group of supporters for Trump. But that is clearly not the case anymore. According To Enten…

“There seems to be a rural revolt going on in this country against Donald Trump. According to Fox News he was easily winning them back in October 2024 versus Kamala Harris. Eighteen points ahead.

“But look at where he is now. Down there, underwater, underneath the cornfields. He’s now 14 points underwater. That’s an over 30 point switcheroo against the president of the United States.[…] He is 19 points underwater with rural voters on inflation. That is an over 50 point switcheroo. Rural voters, like the rest of the country, turning against Trump on the key issue that got him elected to a second term back in 2024.”.

That’s right! According to a poll by Trump’s official Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, America’s rural voters are – as Enten notes – “like the rest of the country, turning against Trump.” And with good reason. Trump’s war has resulted in increases in costs for vital necessities in rural communities, including gas and other energy, fertilizer, groceries, and healthcare which is suffering from the closure of many rural hospitals and clinics.

Meanwhile, Trump’s wars and incompetent diplomacy has alienated America’s trading partners and resulted in international markets for American agricultural products to collapse. Here at home, the rise in prices for those products has depressed domestic shoppers. In short, Trump is presiding over a perfect storm of economic adversity that touches the lives of every American. And those in rural communities are no exception.

Consequently, Trump’s political tribulations are only just beginning. He knows that he is facing an epic season of disaster in the upcoming midterm elections. So he’s pulling out all the stops to advance his crackpot conspiracy theories of voting fraud. And, as usual, he’s providing no evidence whatsoever.

However, unlike his previous episodes of derangement, Trump cannot blame it all on what he calls “radical, left, lunatics.” That’s a label he’ll have a hard time sticking onto red state farmers and ranchers. But never underestimate Trump’s ability to swerve into hypocrisy and blind, rage-filled hate and retribution. He has already lost support among Latino voters, and youth, and even non-MAGA Republicans. So rural voters could very well be the next target of his wrath. Anyone who crosses him is vulnerable. No one is immune.

MAGA Mike Johnson Pitifully Tries to Cover For Trump Saying ‘I Don’t Care About the Midterms’

Posted by on June 3, 2026 at 2:22 pm. 0 Comments :

The upcoming midterm elections portend to be a disaster of epic proportions for Donald Trump and his Republican Party. Trump’s approval ratings are at record lows, and generic political party polling shows Democrats with significant advantages over the MAGA-ified GOP.

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

Donald Trump and Mike Johnson

Making matters worse, Trump is proving to be his own worst enemy with every utterance emanating from his pathologically lying lips. Even under the best, most favorably rigged circumstances, Trump manages to dig himself ever deeper into a hole that he has no chance of climbing out of.

SEE THIS: Trump Humiliates Himself in a Hysterical Interview By His Daughter-in-Law Lara Trump on Fox News

So what does his chief representative in Congress do to rescue him from a dire electoral fate? Well, during a Wednesday morning press briefing, Republican House Speaker, MAGA Mike Johnson, tried to sane-wash some of Trump’s demented babbling. Last week Trump was asked about how his fiasco in Iran might impact the midterms. Trump replied that

“[Iran] thought they were gonna out wait me. ‘We’ll out wait him. He’s got the midterms.’ I don’t care about the midterms.”

Trump: "I don't care about the midterms"

That’s a pretty clear statement that Trump isn’t bothered by the broad public disapproval of his handling of the Iran quagmire. True to form, he’s going to do whatever he wants without regard to what the American people want, or what’s best for the nation. When this came up at Johnson’s press briefing, it elicited the following exchange…

Question: Trump says he doesn’t care about the midterms. Do you think he’s focused enough on domestic policy?
Johnson: What he said there has been taken out of context and it’s so unfair. This president is more laser focused and more dialed in on domestic issues here in the homeland than any president in memory. He spends more time working on domestic issues in one day than Joe Biden did in four. That’s an objective fact.

REALLY? After Trump said that he doesn’t care about the midterms, Johnson makes excuses saying that Trump was “taken out of context,” and that he “spends more time on domestic issues.” On on the former, it’s hard to imagine a positive context for saying he doesn’t care. But on the latter, to be fair, he’s kind of right, depending on how you define domestic issues…

After Trump said that "he doesn't care about the midterms," GOP Speaker MAGA Mike Johnson makes excuses saying that Trump "spends more time on domestic issues." And to be fair, he's kind of right.

Suffice to say that Johnson didn’t help Trump with that nonsense reply. Trump’s domestic agenda has been nothing short of abysmal. The only thing that’s worse is his foreign agenda. But that didn’t stop Johnson and his House GOP lieutenants from making clowns of themselves. Notice the posters that he set up for the briefing. One of them asserts that while “Republicans are CUTTING YOUR TAXES, DEMOCRATS WERE TRANS-ING THE MICE (with $8.2 Billion of Your Tax Dollars).”

First of all, the “trans-ing the mice” reference is just as untrue as when Trump said it in a speech before Congress last year. He totally misunderstood a report on “transgenic” research on mice, which are genetic experiments done to study human illnesses, and have nothing to do with gender transitioning. And secondly, the only tax cutting that Trump has done was for corporations and the wealthy.

Johnson could have spared himself the trouble of covering for Trump’s asinine comments about not caring. Most Americans already know that he doesn’t care about them. He even said so on another occasion just last month when he defended his war against Iran and the economic harm it was doing here at home, saying that “I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation. I don’t think about anybody.” Yeah…We know.

GRIFTER-IN-CHIEF: Trump Lauds the Agency He Corrupted that Regulates His Own Family Crypto Scams

Posted by on May 27, 2026 at 2:34 pm. 3 Comments :

The fortune that Donald Trump has made since reoccupying the White House dwarfs that of many third world nations. He has amassed billions of dollars by opening channels through which conflicted donors, greedy corporations, and nefarious foreign operatives, could funnel funds directly – and secretly – into his pockets.

Trump Baby on Cash Pile

High the list of the money laundering enterprises that Trump developed is the Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG) that runs his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social. That business has wandered off into a variety of totally unrelated activities such as cryptocurrency, mutual funds, gambling, artificial intelligence, and nuclear fusion. None of which have helped it to avoid becoming a pitiful financial fiasco that has lost investors billions of dollars.

Nevertheless, Trump has successfully managed these failures in a way that still nets him a fortune. Part of the reason for that success is that Trump has gamed the system to always provide profitable benefits for him. And true to form, Trump makes sure to thank himself for his illicit largesse, as he did Wednesday morning in a Truth Social post. He wrote in part that…

“It is critically important that the CFTC’s exclusive authority over Prediction Markets is maintained, and that they will thrive. Under my leadership, we are setting ‘rules of the road’ that are the Gold Standard for the States. We cannot have SCUM like Chris Christie, Letitia James, Tim Walz, and JB Pritzker setting the rules!”

That’s right! You can only have SCUM like Trump, his family, and accomplices, setting those rules. Despite the fitting acronym, the CFTC is not the Commission For Trump Corruption. It is the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, which is responsible for regulating financial transactions in the commodities markets, as well as for cryptocurrency and prediction markets.

The latter two just happen to be ventures that the Trump family is heavily engaged in. Under normal circumstances there would be legal and ethical guardrails prohibiting a president and his family from having such unsavory business associations. But there is nothing normal about Trump and his family. So naturally he is exploiting those industries to his advantage. And he is likely reacting to recent news about his criminal tendencies. As reported by the New York Times…

How Prediction Markets and Crypto Firms Steamrolled a Watchdog Agency (May 24, 2026):
“The Commodity Futures Trading Commission purged its ranks, dialed back its enforcement and boosted industries in which President Trump’s family is heavily invested.”

“(T)the CFTC, the primary regulator of a specialized sector of the financial markets, has been mowed down by the powerful business interests it is supposed to oversee, a New York Times investigation found.

In the past 16 months of the Trump administration, the commission has shrunk its work force, purged career officials, sharply curtailed crypto enforcement and helped out prediction markets at virtually every turn, The Times found. […]

“The gutting of the agency is particularly notable because of the Trump family’s deep ties to the crypto and prediction industries.”

Like so many other government agencies during the Trump regime, Trump and his cronies have fired the career professionals at the CFTC and replaced them with Trump cult loyalists. This has been the case at the “Justice” Department, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the Department of Health and Human Services, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and many more, including that Offices of Inspectors General across all agencies.

Trump has presided over a dismantling of the systems that prevent corruption by government crooks. And he did it with the intention of blazing a trail for new wealth for himself and his billionaire pals. Unfortunately for the rest of the nation, it appears to be the one thing that he is actually any good at.
