Sean Hannity Drools Over Insane Trump Proposal to Give Everyone in Greenland $100,000

The Sycophancy Meter for devotees of Donald Trump routinely registers at the highest levels that it is capable of reporting. His cult members are entirely devoid of any measure of shame or self respect when it comes to affirming their unflinching adoration of Dear Leader.

Donald Trump Sean Hannity

Consistent with most cults, Trump’s is characterized by his painfully obvious psychological and emotional abnormalities. He is paranoid, petulant, rage-filled, malignant narcissist, with a tenuous grasp on reality. It is a profile that he shares with the likes of Jim Jones. Although a notable difference between Jones and Trump is that Trump would have charged his flock for the Kool Aid. Like Jones, however, Trump demands an unwavering faith in his infallibility, and eternal loyalty.

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

In a demonstration of his unreserved reverence for Trump, Sean Hannity of Fox News led a segment on his program with MAGA Sen. Eric Schmitt of Missouri. The two discussed Trump’s ludicrous intentions to annex Greenland against the will of it’s citizens, with force if necessary, and despite the opposition of America’s allies in the European Union and NATO. In his fawning display of idolization, Hannity gushed that…

“Donald Trump’s forever in a state of negotiation. Everything’s negotiable. A $100,000 offer for every person in Greenland – on average making 60 grand a year – Denmark’s not exactly been generous to them. They don’t have the ability to help them take their natural resources to the next level and enrich every person in Greenland. We do…Seems like a no-brainer to me.”

Indeed. It would require having no brains to give Trump’s proposal even the slightest bit of serious consideration. Hannity’s praise of Trump for his alleged negotiating prowess is just more of the mythology that he is a great dealmaker. Never minds his numerous bankruptcies and multiple civil and criminal judgments for fraud. And don’t bother looking up the real author of his book, “The Art of the Deal.”

Hannity’s contention that for Trump “Everything’s negotiable,” is hardly a compliment. It highlights Trump’s ethical vacancy wherein he would negotiate away his mother’s dentures for a McDonalds Happy Meal for himself, or an award trophy that he didn’t earn. And he would make (and has made) the same awful deals with American principles.

The specific deal that Hannity is referencing involves Trump’s proposal to pay every resident of Greenland $100,000 in exchange for surrendering their sovereignty. Which just proves that Trump can put a price tag on anything, including honor, virtue, and patriotism. And if he would do that to Greenlanders, he would it to Americans.

What’s more, Hannity is exhibiting his own lack of moral character by lauding Trump’s shallowness and greed as virtuous. Hannity is also flaunting his ignorance by asserting that Denmark has not been “generous” to the Greenlanders. Does Hannity think that Trump would allow them to continue to receive free healthcare, education, and extended parental leave and vacation? Would they give up all of those lifetime benefits for a one-time handout?

As for their ability to “take their natural resources to the next level and enrich every person in Greenland,” maybe they don’t crave such materialism the way Trump does. Maybe they prefer the quality of life they have that regularly ranks Denmark as one of the happiest countries on Earth.

Finally, What would America get for the billions it would cost to compensate Greenland? It would just be another expenditure by Trump that only benefits him and his wealthy comrades, but ignores how the American people are struggling. All in all, a truly horrible deal. Which is exactly the kind that Trump specializes in. And neither Greenlanders nor Americans should take him up on it.

Herr Trump Is Trying to Quash the Netflix Deal to Buy Warner Bros as a Favor to His Oligarch Pals

The boots of Donald Trump – swollen cankles, bone spurred feet and all – are once again stomping down on matters where they don’t belong. They have already trampled on everything from the Kennedy Center, to the Caribbean shores of Venezuela, to American cities with Democratic leaders that he regards as “the enemy within.”

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

The latest victim of Trump’s tromping is the pending merger of media giants Warner Bros Discovery (WBD) and Netflix. The WBD board has already accepted the bid from Netflix that it deemed superior to the one by the Paramount-Skydance conglomerate. But unsatisfied with not having having his tiny thumb pressed firmly into the pie, Trump is openly lobbying against Netflix. That wouldn’t be because his friends David and Larry Ellison are the owners of Paramount and have promised to make make changes that Trump wants, would it?

SEE THIS: Paramount Caves to Trump’s Extortion, Disgraces CBS, Pays a $16M Bribe to Settle a Bogus Lawsuit

Setting aside the fact that it is both legally and ethically improper for Trump to interfere with the business affairs of these companies in a free market economy, Trump’s favoritism is transparently biased and aimed at benefitting himself and his wealthy comrades. On Sunday he posted a comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, that said simply “Stop the Netflix Cultural Takeover.” The post linked to an article disparaging the pending merger on the ultra right-wing website, One America News Network (OAN), by disgraced attorney John M. Pierce. The article said that…

“Netflix’s bid to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) is not simply another Hollywood deal. It is an attempt to consolidate unprecedented cultural power inside one of America’s most ideologically aggressive corporations — a company that has repeatedly used its global platform to elevate progressive narratives while suppressing dissenting viewpoints.”

That is, to use a technical term, bullshit! There is no evidence that Netflix has any political ideology, much less one that is “aggressive” and is “suppressing dissenting viewpoints.” That’s an opinion that even Trump disagrees with. Trump recently met with Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos in the Oval Office and came away saying that Sarandos is “fantastic” and that “I have a lot of respect for him. He is a great person.”

The article’s main argument against the Netflix/WBD merger is that it would would weaken competition. That’s true, But it’s just as true – if not worse – if WBD were to merge with Paramount. The article’s position that WBD accepted the Netflix bid due to some ideological bias is ridiculous. First of all because the Netflix bid is markedly better. Secondly because the real bias would be if the Trump regime forced Netflix to accept the bid from Paramount, whose owners are devoted Trump fluffers. Then the article claimed that…

“Handing this machine control over Warner’s franchises and future output would allow one company to rewrite characters, retell history, redefine social norms, and control which ideas reach audiences. […] It is time to say no to a woke media monopoly before the damage becomes impossible to reverse.”

For the record, Paramount would be the “machine” that could “control which ideas reach audiences.” It already owns Paramount Pictures, Paramount Television, CBS Entertainment, CBS News, Showtime, MTV, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, TV Land, BET, Country Music Television, and 46 owned-and-operated TV stations across the country. Netflix is primarily a program producer and distributor. It doesn’t own any TV stations or, more importantly and unlike Paramount, any news networks.

Paramount has already demonstrated that it will bend the knee to Trump in its CBS News reporting. They recently censored CBS’ 60 Minutes, nixing a segment on the El Salvador gulag that Trump has been sending migrants to. They hired a right-wing blogger, Bari Weiss, to run their nightly news program with a decidedly more conservative bent. And they also canceled Stephen Colbert’s top rated late night comedy program. Just think what they would do if they acquired CNN, which is currently owned by Warner Bros and would be part of the merger with Paramount, but not with Netflix.

This would be a good time to examine the character of the OAN article’s author, John M. Pierce. He is an disreputable attorney with a long history of supporting Trump. He has been accused of making “threats against Department of Justice personnel.” And in September of 2021 NPR reported that…

“Pierce, a controversial lawyer with pro-Trump politics, has taken on more defendants related to the [January 6th] Capitol breach than any other attorney.”

[And that] “Court records from his divorce show that he has dealt with substance abuse and mental health problems for several years. His ex-wife has previously obtained two domestic violence restraining orders against him.”

That’s the caliber of author recruited by OAN to write this article attacking Netflix. And it’s why the article is so blatantly biased and counterfactual. There are some good reasons to oppose a WBD merger with either Netflix or Paramount. Corporate consolidation often harms both consumers and employees. But in this case the author leans heavily to one side, which invalidates his arguments entirely.

In the final analysis, Paramount would be far worse than Netflix as a partner for Warner Bros. It would cater to the whims of Trump, and deliver more conservative programming in both the entertainment and news divisions. And Trump’s cheerleading for Paramount is further proof of his bias and ignorance of proper conduct as president.

Fox News Senior Misogynist Says Women Are ‘Little Creatures’ Who Shouldn’t Be Taken Seriously

The Fox News roster of hosts and correspondents has always been a confederacy of liars and Olympic-grade ignorati. They faithfully carry out the network’s primary mission of pumping up Donald Trump and the Republican Party. And they do it on a daily basis with the emotional maturity of a delinquent seven year old.

Donald Trump, Woman, Fear

Generally the Foxies are pushing ultra conservative propaganda in support of the right-wing’s vile and exclusionary political agenda. But they also disseminate vicious and insulting cultural dogma aimed at maligning Democrats and liberals and anyone they regard as “woke.” And perhaps the worse purveyor of that rancid bullshittery is Jesse Watters.

SEE THIS: Fox News Hack Jesse Watters Criteria Justifying ICE Killing US Citizens is Insane and Dangerous

On Thursday’s episode of Fox’s “The Five.” Watters had something he needed to get off his chest about women. And true to form, it was unflinchingly contemptuous and chock full of hate. He led it off as if it were a criticism of men, saying that…

“Here’s the problem with guys: They take women too seriously. You don’t really listen to these women. They will say things. Just goes in one ear and out the other. We are toxic? Here is a drink, babe. That’s done. They love that. They are beautiful little creatures. We just have to adore them and shower them with love and attention. That is really all they want…You love attention and drinks.”

You have to wonder how the “little creatures” at the table with him – and those watching at home – felt about that description. He believes that women are brain dead wind-up dolls that can be – and should be – manipulated by flattery and alcohol. Which shouldn’t surprise anyone who remembers that Watters slashed the tires of a much younger former coworker to get her take a ride home with him. He later left his wife and children to marry her.

It is particularly offensive for Watters to express these despicable thoughts at time when a couple of profoundly troubling stories are in the news that involve women. There are the files of child sex trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein, that Watters has defended Trump for refusing to release. And there is the ICE agent who murdered a young mother, that Watters believes deserved to be killed, despite the video evidence that she posed no threat.

The views that Watters expressed are consistent with those of many other men at Fox News. Their former president, Roger Ailes, was fired for sexual harassment. So was their biggest star, Bill O’Reilly. Even Trump’s current Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth, had an inappropriate relationship with a younger Fox co-worker, which eventually broke up his marriage to his second wife.

It’s fair to say that a pattern is apparent. And that pattern fits the example made by Trump, the Pussy-Grabber-In-Chief. It seems like sexual misconduct is a prerequisite to work for either Trump or Fox News. It would be nice if the women there – particularly those on the same show as Watters – would speak out against that gross behavior. Because he surely doesn’t deserve the platform he’s exploiting to disparage women while he’s spewing partisan political nonsense.

Fox News Hack Jesse Watters Criteria Justifying ICE Killing US Citizens is Insane and Dangerous

In the aftermath of the horrendous murder of Renee Good in Minneapolis, the Trump regime has been spinning furiously to justify the shooting by an ICE officer of a U.S. citizen who posed no threat to him or anyone else.

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

Jesse Watters, Fox News

The arguments by the Trumpists are wholly removed from the reality that everyone can see for themselves in the videos of the incident. They are asserting that Good is a “radical leftist” who deliberately “ran over” the ICE officer and put him in the hospital. None of which is true. And the the chief dispenser of these gaslighting lies was, of course, Donald Trump himself.

SEE THIS: Trump Weighs In On the ICE Shooting in Minneapolis With a Flurry of Blatant Lies

On Wednesday night Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, went all in on support for the regime’s dishonest misrepresentations of what occurred. That’s to be expected from a network that exists only to back up Trump and the Republican Party. However, Fox’s Senior Doofus, Jesse Watters, went farther than many of his lying colleagues. He enumerated what he thinks are the criteria to justify the regime’s police thugs murder of United States citizens…

Jesse Watters: “The woman who lost her life was a self-proclaimed poet from Colorado with pronouns in her bio. A 37-year-old White woman named Renee Good. The Daily Mail says she leaves behind a lesbian partner and a child from a previous marriage. She was a disruptor, though she considered herself a legal observer. But there’s no evidence she had a law degree.”

Jesse Watters highlights that Renee Nicole Good, the woman killed by ICE, had "pronouns in her bio" and "leaves behind a lesbian partner and a child from a previous marriage"

Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-01-08T03:49:34.494Z

Get it? In order to be executed by the police in Trump’s America, all you need to be is one or more of the following…

  • A poet.
  • A user of pronouns.
  • A lesbian.
  • A single parent.
  • A legal observer.

That criteria, of course, would put millions of Americans at risk for extrajudicial killings. And it doesn’t matter if they had committed any crime. Your death would be instantly validated by the heads of the law enforcement agencies, the Justice Department, the FBI, and even by the president.

The grotesque callousness of that position is hard to comprehend. Watters himself is “guilty” of some of those criteria. He has children from a prior marriage. And he has used pronouns many times.

In recent developments, Homeland Security Secretary, Kristi Noem, has announced that the investigation of the shooting will conducted solely by the FBI. She has explicitly forbidden the state from participating. That is highly unusual as these sort of investigations are almost always done jointly. This stinks of the regime plotting out a way to cover up the crimes of the officer, or others at the scene of the crime.

How can anyone take the results of such a probe seriously. It would be coming from the same people who insisted that Haitians in Ohio were eating cats and dogs. They are proven liars and flagrant racists. But this is where we are today as Trump and his cronies try to remake America in their perverse image.

Fox News Flunkies that Once Condemned Trump’s January 6th Rioters Have Totally Abandoned Reality

It has now been five years since Donald Trump incited a mob of rioters to storm the United States Capitol, causing millions of dollars in damage, and sending 140 police officers to the hospital, five of whom died. All in a treasonous effort to undermine Democracy and overturn the results of a free and fair election.

Donald Trump Insurrection

That day is a black mark on American history that is recalled by patriots with sorrow, anger, and shame. And it was made all the worse when glassy-eyed voters with short-term memory loss returned Trump to the White House last year. The result has been more horrendous than even the most pessimistic advocates of democracy predicted. For instance…

SEE THIS: WHAT’S NEXT? Trump Eyes More Conquests After His Dangerous and Deranged Venezuela Attack

Immediately following the events of January 6, 2021, most of the nation was appalled and stricken by the audacity of Trump and his out of control supporters that he refused to call back for more than three hours. There was nearly unanimous condemnation of the lawlessness and violence that the StormTrumpers engaged in. And remarkably, that was even true of Trump’s fawning sycophants on Fox News.

On this solemn anniversary it is a good time look back on some of the most striking examples of hypocrisy by the Fox News propagandizers. Let’s begin with one that came from Fox’s Greg Gutfeld, who unleashed a stirring rebuke of the rioting Trumpists. On his afternoon program the following day, “The Five,” Gutfeld said that…

“What pisses me off is what happened yesterday. We’re supposed to be the gate against the barbarians. and yesterday we looked like the barbarians. And it doesn’t help anybody. But you will not see Republicans bailing out those who were arrested. See, that is a vital contrast. And Americans know this. Americans do not need lectures from hypocrites.”

just a reminder of the initial, in the moment, right wing reaction to jan 6 my favorite is greg gutfeld saying republican condemnation of the jan 6 rioters is an example of their moral superiority over the leftwww.mediamatters.org/media/4018641

Andrew Lawrence (@ndrew.bsky.social) 2026-01-06T14:58:55.879Z

Seriously? Gutfeld exploited the tragedy to lavish praise on his fellow right-wingers for being so adamantly devoted to peaceful protests and the rule of law. He presented that as a criticism of Democrats who he asserted were less respectful of those principles.

However, it was Trump who later did “bail out those who were arrested,” and even convicted after pleading guilty to charges ranging from assaulting the police to seditious conspiracy. In fact, Trump pardoned more than 1,500 of them indiscriminately. And Gutfeld has never bothered to revisit his remarks of January 7th. Instead, he has reverted to the standard Fox News stance of gushing adulation of Trump.

Gutfeld, though, was not alone. Pretty much the entire Fox News roster was critical of the Trump insurrectionists. But today they are slathering the same sugary sappiness on Trump, and excusing him and his marauding hoards of any wrongdoing. Media Matters compiled some of the commentaries from Fox Newsers before they they fell back into their state of Trump worship…

  • Sean Hannity: “All of today’s perpetrators must be arrested and prosecuted to the full extent of the law.”
  • Laura Ingraham: “But those who breached the Capitol Hill security today, whoever they were, they were criminals.”
  • Jesse Watters: “You can’t smash windows, spray police with chemical agents, assault police officers, loot, and vandalize.”
  • Mark Levin: “What they did was criminal. I want to know who these people are. I want to know if they’re going to be charged. Because they should be. They broke the law. What they did was criminal.”
  • Jeanine Pirro: “The actions at the United States Capitol three days ago were deplorable, reprehensible, outright criminal.”

Today, all but one of those people are still on the air at Fox News. And each and every one of them have dispensed of all of those opinions that the rioters were criminals. The one no longer with Fox, Jeanine Pirro, is now Trump’s U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia.

For his part, Trump has sought to persecute everyone involved with bringing the January 6th rioters to justice. He has fired the prosecutors and prosecuted members of Congress. And on this anniversary Trump posted a timeline of the day’s events that is wholly removed from reality. In a blatant rewriting of history, Trump’s website states that the protesters were peaceful, that it was the police who escalated the violence, and that the 2020 election was “stolen” from him.

As we remember the horror of that day, we must also be conscious of the future. Trump wanted to violate the law in order to cling to power five years ago. And he still wants that today. In a speech to Republicans he fantasized about running for a third and, far more troubling, canceling the upcoming elections. So we have been warned. And we must be prepared to defend American democracy. Because Trump and Co. are preparing to terminate it.

Trump fantasizes about canceling elections. And he admits that the only reason he won't say that is because the press will call him a dictator.Not because it's grossly unconstitutional and undemocratic. #TrumpIsADictator

Fox News Finally Admits that Republicans Have No Healthcare Plan, Then Blames it on Democrats

From its inception thirty years ago, the mission of Fox News has been to promote the Republican Party and its right-wing principles. With the advent of a populist cult leader in Donald Trump, Fox News adjusted their role from political ally to glassy-eyed loyalists, performing the function of Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda.

Fox News, Donald Trump Baby

Fox News isn’t just an arm of the MAGA media machine, it actually employs Trump’s Daughter-in-lawlessness, Lara Trump, as a primetime weekend program host. That’s just one example of how closely Trump and Fox are intertwined. More examples are readily available. Such as how Fox News gushes over the alleged physical and mental superiority of Trump, despite all the evidence that both are in severe decline.

SEE THIS: HUH? Fox News Praises Trump for Being 80 Years Old and Severely Sleep Deprived

However, the latest example of how devotional Fox News is toward their Dear Leader came in Monday’s episode of Trump’s favorite Fox News morning show, Fox and Friends. In a segment intended to bash Democrats for not supporting Trump’s illegal war against Venezuela, co-host Brian Kilmeade, detours to the valid criticism of Trump that he isn’t paying attention to the things that matter most to the American people. And high on that list is the crisis over healthcare availability and affordability. Unfortunately for Kilmeade, his strategy just affirms how out of touch the GOP is. And how dishonest Fox News is.

Kilmeade: “I have news for you. The Republicans don’t have a health care program. They can’t have a crisis. It’s your program that’s in crisis. And you can, as a president, have a foreign policy and a domestic policy.”

Brian Kilmeade: “I have news for you. The Republicans don't have a health care program. They can't have a crisis.”

Media Matters for America (@mmfa.bsky.social) 2026-01-05T16:51:31.766Z

Okay then. Democrats have long denounced the Republican Party for not having a healthcare plan. The GOP has raged about the Democrat’s Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare) for fifteen years, promising to repeal and replace it. But in all that time they have never managed to deliver an alternative. Nevertheless, they insisted that they were ready to go forward with their imaginary plan that they assured was better and cheaper. If only it existed.

Kilmeade then concluded that the GOP’s lack of a healthcare plan means that any healthcare crisis is therefore the fault of Democrats. WTF? It is Republicans who have tried to hobble Obamacare which, by the way, is broadly popular with the majority of the American people across political lines.

Kilmeade also points to Democrats and says that “It’s your program that’s in crisis.” No it’s not! It’s the people’s program. And it’s Republicans who are deliberately putting it in crisis by refusing to extend the premium subsidies, without which costs will double or triple or worse. But to Fox News that’s the Democrats’ fault? Also, Kilmeade says that a president can “have a foreign policy and a domestic policy.” That’s true. And Trump has neither.

This is familiar behavior by Republicans. They can’t take responsibility for anything. They currently control the House, the Senate, the presidency, and the Supreme Court, but still say that Democrats are to blame for the hardships being thrust on the nation that is being governed by Republicans.

Fortunately, later this year there will be an election that looks to be trending in favor of the Democrats. And when they have the upper hand, they will show Republicans, and the nation, that progress can be made when you have the people’s interests at heart, and the intelligence and compassion to act on their behalf. Rather than the GOP cowards who are beholden only to Herr Trump.

Fox News Trump-Fluffers Preview – and Gush Over – the New Melania Trump Crocumentary

If Donald Trump spent half as much time running the country as he does on disseminating dishonest and self-serving propaganda, the country would be…well, much worse off than it is now. So perhaps we should all be grateful that Trump is neglecting his job and devoting himself to golfing, tweeting, and watching Fox News.

Donald Trump Baby and Melania Trump

Trump’s television habits are well known. On any given morning he can be found live-posting what he’s watching on his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News. His favorite show may be the morning panel of “Curvy Couch” potatoes on Fox and Friends. He was once a regular on the program himself with weekly “Mondays with Trump” segments. But now they just lavish him with fawning adoration…

SEE THIS: HUH? Fox News Praises Trump for Being 80 Years Old and Severely Sleep Deprived

On Wednesday’s episode of Fox and Friends, the MAGA hype team were beside themselves with gleeful infatuation as they introduced what they described as “an exclusive first look for the trailer of the new movie [that] hits theaters January 30th, Here’s a look at ‘Melania, the Film.'” Whereupon they played the whole trailer – which is a 60 second commercial – free of charge.

The trailer begins with Melania looking into the camera and saying “Here we go again.” Which sounds more threatening than welcoming. That was followed by a series of rapid-cut video clips of Melania being glamorous while, according to the trailer’s text, “making history.” Then they return to the Curvy Couch where Brain Kilmeade and Ainsley Earhardt (Sean Hannity’s fiancé) react to what they just watched…

Kilmeade: You know what would be great for us? To go to the White House to watch it.
Earhardt: That is a great idea. If the White House is listening…Is there a movie theater at the White House? With recliners and all?

of all of the things I am going to not watch, this is the thing I am going to not watch the most

Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-12-17T15:24:41.961Z

Well. there used to be a movie theater in the White House. FDR put it there in 1942, where it was enjoyed by presidents and their families and guests for more than 80 years. There is just one problem. It was in the East Wing that Trump demolished to make way for his gaudy, faux-gold, $400 million elitist ballroom that nobody but Trump wanted. So much for that fantasy.

The Melania documentary will be distributed by MGM, which is owned by Amazon Studios, which in turn is owned by billionaire Trump backer, Jeff Bezos. He reportedly paid/bribed $40 million for the rights. Melania herself is the executive producer. And Brett Ratner is returning to the director’s chair after a long hiatus from filmmaking due to his having being accused of sexual assault by multiple women. Something he has in common with Donald Trump.

The deal covers both the theatrical release and a potential follow-up series. Melania is expected to earn $28 million as part of the licensing agreement, making it one of the largest documentary deals ever, according to the Wall Street Journal.

It’s safe to assume that this history making documentary will not include much of Melania’s actual history. For instance, her many nude photo shoots, her relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, her disparaging remarks about Christmas, her phony “Einstein” visa, chain migration family members, and anchor babies, nor the fact that she doesn’t live with Donald at the White House or Mar-a-Lago, preferring to spend most of her time in Manhattan.

It’s also safe to assume that this project will lose a fortune, just like so many other Trump business ventures, such as his Truth Social website and crypto exchange. The only people who will pay to see it are the glassy-eyed MAGA cult disciples who attend his rallies and buy his red hats. And there aren’t enough of them to make this blatant historical puff piece into anything but a historical flop.

However, look for it to be aired in the near future on Fox News for free. Even the trailer ends with Melania on the phone with Donald where he asks her about some event he had done, saying “Did you watch it?” And she replies “I did not. I will see it on the news.”

Fox News Says ‘People Don’t Really Feel Bad’ About the High Cost of Living Caused By Trump

The debate over the state of the economy rages on. The problem is that it is a totally one-sided debate wherein Democrats are standing up for the welfare of the American people, and Republicans – at the behest of Donald Trump – are flagrantly lying. It’s bad enough that Republicans are being so fiercely dishonest. But it’s even worse that, with all the practice they get, they are still so bad at it.

Fox News, Maria Bartiromo, Donald Trump

The worst possible strategy for deceiving mass groups of people is to tell them something that they know from their own experience is false. Yet that is precisely what Trump and his GOP confederates are doing. Trump thinks he can convince the American people that they are not paying more for almost everything since his reoccupation of the White House. But that isn’t working for him. Trump is hitting the lows in polling on virtually every issue, and particularly the economy. In fact, even 37% of Trump’s own MAGA voters disapprove of the economy, and worse, they say that Trump is to blame.

SEE THIS: POOR BABY: Trump Whines that Polls Don’t Give Him Credit for ‘the Greatness of America’

Naturally, Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, is backing Trump up with some of the most pathetically unconvincing arguments imaginable. And leading the charge is Fox’s Senior Trump-Fluffer, Maria Bartiromo. She was on the program of Trump’s shadow chief of staff, Sean Hannity, on Friday night (video below) where she obediently disseminated the MAGA talking points that the economy is fantastic. and if it isn’t, it’s President Biden’s fault.

“People are frustrated with housing and the price of homes. People are frustrated with certain food items. But there are a number of things that President Trump has already been incredibly successful doing. So when he says this affordability issue is a hoax, he’s right! He’s basically talking about how the Democrats have taken this word ‘affordability’ and used it as their calling card for the 2026 elections.”

First of all, the only things that Trump “has been incredibly successful doing” is imposing inflationary tariffs, demolishing parts of the White House, deporting innocent migrants, and murdering fishermen in the Caribbean. His achievements with regard to the economy are nonexistent. And his spin on “affordability” is a bizarre mix of denial, blame-shifting, and taking undeserved credit. But Bartiromo was just getting started. In an attempt to explain away why Republicans are suffering in recent elections and public opinion polling, She continued…

“They think these Democrat wins that we just saw in Miami, in New York City, in other places like New Jersey, we shouldn’t be surprised that the Democrats won those races. These are all blue states and cities. So, it’s no surprise there.”

For the record, The Democrat who just won the mayoral race in Miami is the first Democrat to win there in 28 years. Also, five of the last ten governors of New Jersey were Republicans. Also, the Democrat who won the governorship in Virginia is succeeding a Republican. So these are not what an honest person would call “blue” cities and states. But Bartiromo was still not done…

“What is a surprise is that after all of these years, the Republicans keep getting rolled over by the Democrats’ messaging. I gotta tell you, I don’t think the people really feel as bad as the Democrats are talking about. The economy is doing well. There is $18 trillion of new investment that has come into this country.”

And there it is. Bartiromo is telling people that they are not feeling what they are feeling. That’s a fool’s game. She’s parroting her Dear Leader Trump who has been trying to persuade people that they are all prosperous and elated with what he is doing. Except that they have to limit the number of pencils they can buy, as well as the number of dolls for their children. And even Bartiromo admitted above that housing and grocery prices are unbearably burdesome.

Bartiromo also mentions the blatant lie that Trump has brought in $18 trillion via his ludicrous tariff (aka taxes) scheme. Even his own White House web page tracking his alleged receipts says it’s only half of that – $9.6 Trillion – which is a combined figure of both domestic and foreign items. And even that is grossly inflated and made up of uncertified pledges and unenforceable handshakes. Furthermore, what has been collected in tariffs is paid by American companies that import foreign goods, and then pass the cost on to American consumers.

That is what forms the basis of the Fox News conclusion that the economy is booming and, if people feel bad about it, they’re suffering from some sort of derangement. However, if Fox News and Trump and the GOP want to pursue this theme for their midterm election campaigns next year, they will surely have the approval of the Democrats running against them. So buckle up, America. It’s gonna be a bumpy ride.

Sean Hannity of Fox News Makes a Darn Good Case Against Trump and His Racist White Nationalism

It was just a matter of time. Donald Trump has been expressing his virulent brand of bigotry for decades. His blatant prejudice is one of the most compelling factors for his popularity among his MAGA disciples who share his inbred hatred for people of color and non-European immigrants. So no one should be surprised that his media mouthpieces are parroting his reprehensible rhetoric.

Fox News, Sean Hannity

Trump has long disparaged immigrants who come from what he calls “shithole” countries. And this week he has made a point of maligning American citizens who migrated from Somali, calling them all criminals and pledging to have them them thrown out of the country. In fact, he says he is terminating all immigration from third world countries and reviewing the status of those currently in the U.S.

SEE THIS: Does Trump’s Racist Pledge to Deport Naturalized American Citizens Include Melania?

On Monday’s episode of his radio program, Sean Hannity of Fox News weighed in on this subject. Although he intended to praise Dear Leader Trump, the actual content of his monologue was ironically critical. Hannity began by saying that…

“I’m not going to get in the gutter with some people and what they’re saying. The left is insane enough. But when I hear and listen to some people that claim to be MAGA and Trump supporters and the things that they utter are so insane.”

Well then. That’s actually a pretty rational assessment of the MAGA community. You have to wonder what took Hannity so long to notice it. However, as he continued he seemed to lose the plot. In a series of comments intended to exalt Trump, Hannity actually provided opportunities to expose the vile racism that has been such a prominent part of his character, or lack thereof. What follows are Hannity’s observations with relevant annotations.

“If you hear somebody that’s racist, that’s probably a good indication that they’re not worth your time.”
In Trump’s mind if you are a Black critic of Trump you are automatically a low IQ racist. That includes Kamala, Harris, Jasmine Crockett, Maxine Waters, Don Lemon, LeBron James, etc.

“If somebody’s a white nationalist, they’re probably not worth your time.”
Remember Trump’s support for “the very fine people on both sides” of the white nationalist protest in Charlottesville?

“If they praise Adolf Hitler, they’re probably not somebody that’s worth your time.”
Trump famously kept a book of Hitler’s speeches by his bedside, and he told members of his White House staff that “I need the kind of generals that Hitler had.”

“If they have a virulent anti-Semitic hatred, they’re probably not worth listening to.”
During the New York City mayoral race, Trump whined that “Any Jewish person that votes for Zohran Mamdani…is a stupid person!!!”

Hannity went on to complain about the MAGA minions who “have bizarre conspiracy theories” or are just “pure character assassins.” That doesn’t narrow it down very much. It’s pretty much all of them. And that’s particularly true with regard to his MAGA-sty himself, Donald Trump.

However, while Hannity appears to be on the verge of actually getting it, don’t expect too much of him. He’s a fully indoctrinated MAGA-tist and isn’t likely to see the light. He doesn’t even know that he’s shining the light on Trump’s racism. Or, for that matter, his own.

A CALL TO ACTION: Trump White House Launches a ‘Media Bias Offender Tipline’ – Let’s Use It

The battle against biased media is a continuing and exhausting ordeal during the administration of Donald Trump, who frequently refers to the press in Stalinist terms as “the enemy of the people.” No American president has been more hostile toward the media, or more hospitable toward sycophantic toadies than, Donald Trump.

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

Last week Trump’s White House website debuted a “Media Bias” page, claiming that it would be keeping track of what Trump regards as “false, misleading, or biased” news reports. Of course, what Trump regards as “biased” is actually anything that is less than effusively flattering. As a result, the page consists solely of the very same media outlets that Trump regularly bashes as “fake news” simply because they dare to report honestly about Trump warts and…well, more warts.

SEE THIS: The Trump White House Website Now Has a Page to Attack Media that Tells the Truth About Him

This week Trump is expanding on his anti-free-press theme with the addition of a brand new “Media Bias Offender Tipline.” It was announced with a “A CALL TO ACTION” and an opportunity to “Submit ‘Media Bias’ Tips” online.

The announcement describes the mission of the page as “to combat the baseless lies, purposely omitted context, and outright left-wing lunacy of the Fake News Media,” and asserts that “That’s why the White House is calling on everyday Americans to support the truth and hold the Fake News accountable.” Elaborating, the page says that…

“So-called ‘journalists’ have made it impossible to identify every false or misleading story, which is why help from the American people is essential. The days of the Fake News Media controlling the narrative with lies, fake anonymous sources, and willful bias are over.”

Notice that the only alleged lies that the page is supposedly combatting are from the “outright left-wing lunacy.” And there is no mention of the fact that it’s Trump’s rampant dishonesty that makes identifying all of the false stories impossible. Even worse, Trump is declaring that the days of “willful bias are over,” as he cheers for the government to assume the role of “controlling the narrative with lies.” Which, to be fair, is something that Trump’s regime has proven to be pretty good at.

Trump’s Media Bias Tipline page provides a short form for his MAGA cult disciples to report any left-wing lunacy that they come across so that they can “HELP EXPOSE THE WORST OF THE WORST” And it warns, “Don’t let them continue to spread lies. Fill out the form below.”

Well, that seems like pretty good advice. Perhaps we should all bookmark that form and use it to report all of the media bias that we encounter. (Feel free to use a fake email address to avoid getting spammed — or surveilled). There is plenty of it from outlets like Newsmax and One America News, and far too often from the corporate media networks as well. Of course, there’s also Fox News, which is the only “news” enterprise that has paid out 3/4 of a billion dollars to settle a defamation lawsuit for having repeatedly lied on Trump’s behalf.

So you all know what to do. And as Trump’s page says, “Don’t let them continue to spread lies.”
