WHAT 1ST AMENDMENT? Trump Regime Threatens NYT Journalists to Compel Them to Give Up Sources

The hostility that Donald Trump has for the free press is nothing new. He has been referring to the media in Stalinist terms as “the enemy of the people” for years. And he viciously attacks reporters and news organizations every day simply because they are doing their jobs.

Donald Trump, Constitution

Trump actually has a perverse love/hate relationship with the media. He hates them when they report the truth about him. But he loves being the center of attention. He never lets his aversion to the Constitution’s protection of the free press get in the way of his exploitation of it. While he blames it for all of his problems, he also clings to positive news about himself, if he’s making it up…

SEE THIS: Delusional Donald: Does Trump Really Believe He’s Ultra Popular with Record High Approval Ratings?

Trump’s assault on the First Amendment has taken many disturbing forms. He frequently sues journalists and media companies as a means of punishing them for their honest reporting. And he orders his federal agencies to clamp down on companies that have the audacity to reveal his personal and professional flaws. Which is what just happened with his “Justice” Department issuing subpoenas to several New York Times reporters. As reported by the Times

“The Trump administration issued subpoenas on Friday to several journalists for The New York Times, after the news outlet reported this week on security concerns involving President Trump’s new Qatari-donated Air Force One. […] The subpoenas — which seek to force the reporters to testify before a federal grand jury in Manhattan on Wednesday — were an extraordinary escalation in President Trump’s efforts to threaten and intimidate independent news organizations.”

The Times noted that “the subpoenas contain few specifics,” other than demanding that the journalists testify before a Grand Jury “in regard to an alleged violation of federal criminal law” having something to do with a Times story about Trump departing Turkey on the “old” Air Force One because of “a security precaution at the urging of the Secret Service.”

Trump’s press office responded to the Times’story by insisting that it was false. It was, however, a legitimate story that exposed the carelessness of the Trump administration and it’s lack of concern for operational security. They claimed that Trump switched planes and diverted the new Qatari bribe jet to a military base in England because some soldiers there really wanted to see it (yeah, right).

Therefore, any allegation that the Times broke a law, or that the leaker did, is moot. You can’t be accused of leaking sensitive or classified information if what you wrote wasn’t actually sensitive or classified. And according to the Trump propaganda team it wasn’t. So either Trump and company are lying, or there was no violation of the law.

What’s more, the Times’ story was published after Trump switched to the properly secured Air Force One from the Qatari bribe jet, and was already safely at home. and you can’t be accused of endangering the president if what you wrote was published entirely after the fact, and there was no risk to the president.

To the contrary, the Times actually made the president safer by insuring that the Qatari jet would not be used by the president unless and until it is properly upgraded to Secret Service standards. Consequently, the Times responded to the subpoenas in a blunt statement by their attorney, David McCraw:

“The appearance of federal law enforcement agents on the doorstep of news reporters should shock the conscience of any American who believes in the Constitution and the press freedom it protects. Our journalists report the facts and advance the American public’s right to know how their government is operating and their taxpayer dollars are being used. This brazen act should be seen as nothing more than an attempt to prevent the public from knowing what is happening in their country by intimidating journalists from doing their jobs.”

The morning after this legal brouhaha Trump once again lashed out at the media. He posted a tediously long and incoherent comment on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, attacking New York Times reporters, Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, in his typically infantile manner, saying in part that…

“Maggot Hagerman has covered me incorrectly for ten years. Her book is a joke! 90% of it is Fake News…Maggot is a loser! […] Anyway, don’t buy their book, it’s garbage!”

For the record, Haberman and Swan’s book “Regime Change” is currently #1 on Amazon. Trump went on in this comment to boast that he has “just finished a perfect physical at Walter Reed, I do it every six months, and I requested another Cognitive Test.” There are reasons that he needs to take annual physicals three or four times a year, along with repeated cognitive tests. Doctors wouldn’t do them if he wasn’t showing signs of mental impairment.

Trump followed up that comment with an even longer and less coherent harangue, whining about “The Failing New York Times,” along with the Wall Street Journal, MS NOW, CNN, ABC, CBS, and NBC. Adding that they should all just say that “We give up, we can’t beat him.” Which is wishful thinking on his part. He wouldn’t be freaking out this badly if he weren’t really afraid of losing the upcoming midterm elections and finding himself under investigation by Democrats in Congress who intend to hold him accountable for his multitude of crimes. for a change.

UPDATE: The Justice Department has withdrawn their bogus subpoenas in advance of the court ruling to quash them as violations of the Constitution’s First Amendment.

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

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?

Fox News Keeps Describing Trump’s Sexual Deviancy, When They Think They’re Describing Democrats

The electoral prospects of the Republican Party are looking pretty dim these days. That’s mostly due to the failures of the party’s leader, Donald Trump, who has wrecked the economy, led the nation into an illegal war with Iran, wasted taxpayer funds on vanity projects, and humiliated the country on the international stage.

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

Donald Trump, Woman, Fear

Consequently, Trump is becoming more desperate with each passing day. He knows that there is a strong likelihood that Democrats will regain the majority in the House of Representatives, and perhaps the Senate as well. That would make the remaining two years of his occupation of the White House a nightmare for him, with numerous investigations, and little chance of enacting his MAGA agenda. His approval rating is plummeting to record lows, and he’s resorting to the most bizarre strategies for the upcoming midterm elections.

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

Naturally, Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, is stepping up to do whatever they can to rescue him. On Tuesday night Trump’s former press secretary, Kellyanne Conway (of “alternative facts” fame) was guest hosting the Sean Hannity program. And during a segment wherein she was interviewing Republican Rep. Brandon Gill, the subject of disgraced Maine Senate candidate, Graham Platner came up. Which led to the following exchange…

Conway: I am completely disgusted with the Democratic Party and their candidate, their nominee. But I am worried for the country if they’re gonna continue to stand by their men until they can’t any longer, we may end up with bad candidates, bad office holders, until it’s too late.
Gill: They didn’t have a problem with multiple credible allegations of abuse from multiple women. […] We need decent people running for office, not those who are so transparently scum bags.

OH NO! What will the Democrats do when they learn that Conway is “disgusted” with them? How will they deal with the concerns of Conway and Gill about “scum bags” with “multiple credible allegations of abuse from multiple women”? But most of all, how will Conway and Gill and the rest of the MAGA GOP continue to fool themselves that the “scum bag” they are describing isn’t their own Dear Leader, Donald Trump?

Is it really possible that they don’t realize that they are perfectly describing Trump, who is a well documented, serial sexual abuser, admitted pussy-grabber, and adjudicated rapist? And of course they and the Republican Party continue to “stand by their man” even after it is too late. And so does Fox News. The Democrats, meanwhile, have renounced Platner. Republicans still worship Trump.

This was not the only time that Conway expressed these perverse thoughts about political perversion. In another segment she interviewed GOP Sen. John Kennedy (GA-MAGA), and made similar observations…

Kennedy: This guy is a just a predator. And you don’t want him anywhere near power.
Conway: These allegations of abuse and assault…it just goes on and on and never seems enough for your colleagues across the aisle in the Democratic Party to chuck this guy.

Except that the Democrats did chuck Platner. But Republicans nominated Trump again and reelected him. And they still back him 1,000% (that’s Trump math). It’s a sad fact that there are despicable people in this world. But how they are dealt with tells us about the morality of the rest of us.

Republicans are telling us that rapists and pedophiles and convicted felons are acceptable as leaders. In November the American people can tell Republicans what they think about that. And that’s exactly what Trump and his MAGA cult are afraid of.

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

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.

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

The upcoming midterm elections in November are going to have a profound impact on the remaining two years of Donald Trump’s occupation of the White House. It is likely that Democrats will regain the majority in the House of Representatives, and have a good chance of doing the same in the Senate.

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

Fox News Sad

The prospects of Trump transforming from a Screech Owl to a Lame Duck next year are greater with each passing day. He is doing virtually nothing to advance the campaigns of Republicans. He even said to reporters that I Don’t Care About the Midterms.” Instead, he is focusing almost exclusively on vanity projects like the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool and his golden ballroom. He hardly even mentions anymore the war against Iran that he’s losing. The closest he comes to articulating a campaign theme is to regurgitate the “red scare” paranoia of the 1950s.

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

In support of his Dear Leader, Republican Oversight Committee chair, James Comer, made another of his nearly daily appearances on Fox News. But during the course of what he thought was a segment that would juice Trump’s standing with the public, Comer offered what is more likely a motivating message for Democrats.

“This is just a perfect example of the Democrats. And I think that all they’re gonna do if they flip the House and become the majority of the House is investigate and harass Donald Trump.”

Republican James Comer is making a great case for voting for Democrats and flipping the House. He says that they will investigate and harass Trump.GOOD! There will finally be some law and order, rather than the sycophantic cowardice and puppetry of the GOP Congress.

News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-07-06T20:14:30.224Z

OH NO! NOT THAT! Comer is threatening that if Democrats are elected they will do exactly what Democrats, most independents, and even some Republicans, want them to do. This is the sort of message that will drive voters who are tired of – and disgusted by – Trump to the polls in record numbers. Surveys show that the American people are through tolerating Trump’s corruption and lies.

Voters see Trump enriching himself by billions of dollars, mostly via scams, while they are struggling to pay for gas, groceries, housing, and healthcare. And they see him wasting scarce taxpayer revenue on trivialities like alleged DC beautification, or worse, atrocities like ICE thugs persecuting innocent immigrants and even some citizens.

The onscreen message on Fox News during Comer’s segment said that a “Dem Report Claims Trump Corrupted America 250.” Which is some more inadvertently accurate messaging from the folks at Fox News. There is indeed a well researched report that reveals how Trump has hijacked the “America 250” project to divert funds to his own “Freedom 250” scam.

The spectacle of watching Comer accidentally help Democratic campaigns is not a one-time mistake by Trump regime confederates. Trump’s former press Secretary, Kellyanne Conway, has done it as well…

Trump himself has unintentionally characterized himself as a recidivist criminal, and unwittingly reminded people of his frequent illegal activities…

Trump Himself Confirms that He is the Most Deviant Lawbreaker in Presidential History

In the few short years that Donald Trump has occupied the White House (yeah, I know, it seems like an eternity in hell), he has managed to make effective use of that time to distinguish himself as a fierce foe of the Constitution and the principles embedded in it that define true American greatness.

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

Donald Trump, Prison

Trump has exploited his position in order to enrich himself, his family, and his billionaire pals. He has pressured his “Justice” Department to persecute his political enemies. He has suppressed evidence of crimes committed by himself and his MAGA allies. He has bullied the free press into sanitizing his words and nefarious deeds. And he has fomented fear among his cult disciples to feed their hatred and fuel their blind loyalty.

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

In addition to the all of that, Trump has presided over a regime of lawlessness. He issues executive orders that are entirely devoid of legal justification or force of law. He takes actions that he has no lawful authority to take. And he strongarms Congress to pass legislation that is blatantly unconstitutional.

Consequently, Trump has had a difficult time with the courts that review his tyrannical overreach. For example, the Supreme Court, that currently has a conservative majority, just ruled against Trump’s attempt to revoke the Constitution’s guarantee of birthright citizenship. He also lost a case wherein he tried to ban mail-in voting, and another that dealt with reproductive healthcare.

Decisions such as these are driving Trump even crazier than usual. This Trump madness has resulted in his reposting of a tweet by GOP Rep. Abe Hamadeh (AZ, MAGA) on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social.

Hamadeh wrote that “In their desperate bid to to stop president Trump, activist judges have seized power from the president.” He also claimed that it was a “blatant override of executive authority [that] has shredded public trust and accelerated Americans’ loss of faith in our institutions.” Additionally, the tweet included a chart of “Preliminary Injunctions Against Administrative Policies of Sitting Presidents” and called it a “Tyranny of the judiciary.”

Nothing has “shredded public trust” more than Trump and his MAGA-tists viciously and personally maligning any judge that delivers a ruling that he doesn’t like. But the most notable part of this commentary is the chart that shows the number of adverse rulings by recent presidents: Bush: 6, Obama: 12, Trump: 75, Biden: 21, Trump: 169.

Trump and company view this chart as proof that the judiciary is biased against him. But in reality it reveals that Trump is just in violation of the law far more often than his peers. And it isn’t some conspiracy of bias, because many of these rulings were made by judges that were appointed by Republicans, including Trump. And the disparity is profound. The chart displayed a total of 39 adverse rulings in 20 years for Bush, Obama, and Biden combined. While there were 249 in only five years for Trump alone.

Nevertheless, a subsequent post by Trump blames it all on Democrats, with Trump accusing them of engaging in “lawfare on steroids,” and warning that “Our republic will die in a black robe.” That’s the sort of deranged hyperbole that Trump traffics in daily. And on this particular day Trump was in rare form. He posted 105 comments before dinner. Most were exaltations of himself and his work on the Reflecting Pool and other D.C. tourist attractions.

Trump did slip in half a dozen comments warning about “godless communists,” by which he means Democrats. But it’s good to see that he remains laser-focused on what matters most to the American people. And he is keeping busy online rather than wasting more time with the war against Iran that he started and is losing, or trying to resolve the affordability crisis, which he is also responsible for. In the meantime, the nation waits to see what other laws he will break going forward. And we haven’t even mentioned Jeffrey Epstein yet.

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

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.

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

The prospects for Democrats in the upcoming midterm elections continue to improve as their candidates outperform Republicans, even in red state primaries. It’s clear that the American people are sick and tired of Donald Trump’s failures, lies, vanities, and senile outbursts.

Donald Trump Tyrant Dictator

Meanwhile, Republicans are facing the almost certain loss of the majority in the House of Representatives, and a likely similar loss in the Senate. The GOP response to these dire predictions has been to double and triple down on extremist hyperbole that diverges entirely from anything that matters to voters, and from reality itself.

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

The whole of Trump’s MAGA Party is following his lead in trying to malign Democrats as communists. Never mind that they have no rational basis for that charge. It is just more of their explosive diarhetorica that they are dispensing out of pure desperation.

Naturally, Trump is taking the lead in this reprise of the “red scare” attacks that failed so miserably in the 1950s. To that end Trump posted a hysterical comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, that illustrates his devotion to dredging up tactics that didn’t work 75 years ago. His comment began by announcing that…

“Today I am declaring a National Scallops Day to celebrate an action taken by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) that will open up the Northern Edge of Georges Bank to Scallops Fishing, fulfilling the dream to our Great Fishermen who were so badly treated by the Obama and Biden Administrations, and by the Country of Canada.”

FINALLY! Someone is doing something about the horror that Democrats imposed by depriving citizens of their god-given supply of marine mollusks, and “fulfilling the dream” of American fishermen. Trump bragged that, in order to do this, he “terminated” the environmental monument status of sensitive waters on both U.S. coasts, saying that…

“I have opened up the Oceans, Rivers, Lakes, and Seas to our Fishermen, and freed them from ridiculous Environmental restrictions that allowed other countries to take advantage of the United States’ Waters under Barack Hussein Obuma, Sleepy Joe Biden, and the Dumocrats.”

Following that display of childish name-calling, Trump revealed in all caps what may become his rallying cry for the remainder of the midterm election campaign season…

“GO OUT AND VOTE REPUBLICAN IN THE MIDTERMS, BECAUSE IF THE COMMUNISTS GET IN, YOU’LL NEVER FISH AGAIN!”

HOLY SHIH TZU! Trump is accusing Democrats of plotting to prohibit all fishing forever. And to his cabal of MAGA disciples, that is a totally reasonable accusation of something they are eagerly ready to believe that Democrats will actually do.

Yet Somehow the MAGA-tists haven’t realized that it is their Dear Leader who is the aspiring communist. He is the one who is implementing communist-like control over the “means of production” by taking a role in corporate mergers, demanding multimillion dollar payments from corporations seeking government favors, forcing corporations to sell parts of the businesses to the government, and defunding public media such as PBS, NPR, and Radio Free America. He has even sued media conglomerates for billions of dollars, forcing them to either pay up or suffer his retribution.

Communist leaders like Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un are drooling with admiration and envy. But while Democrats and most other patriotic Americans are appalled, from a strictly political perspective they are pretty excited. Because the more that Trump and his GOP confederates focus on this sort of red baiting idiocy, the better chances Democrats will have of victories in November. So go for it, Donald. We’ll see you at your next impeachment hearing.

UPDATE: For good measure, Trump is now bragging that “I would be the greatest communist in history. I’d be right up there with Lenin.”

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

As the 2026 midterm elections approach, Donald Trump and his MAGA Republican confederates are becoming increasingly anxious about just how brutally they will be beaten. Current polling indicates that a massive Blue Wave is building momentum that could severely cripple the GOP for the remainder of Trump’s occupation of the white House, and beyond.

Donald Trump and Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt

Consequently, Trump is ramping up the hyperbole in his daily incoherent rants. He’s giving deranged speeches that consist mainly of infantile insults aimed at his perceived enemies, exaltations of himself for his vanity driven Capitol “beautification” projects, and dispensing lies pretty much every time he opens his mouth. Most of all, he is trying to malign Democrats as anti-American traitors, but his characterization of them as villains from 1950s comic books isn’t helping his own self image at all.

SEE THIS: Wannabe Dictator Trump Resorts to Threatening People to Respect Him or ‘You’re Going to Have a Problem’

On Monday morning Trump dispatched his Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, to her regular post on Fox News to assist his failing PR campaign. It doesn’t seem like she did much to help. But she gave it her all in attempting to advance Trump’s latest desperate effort to portray Democrats as communists. She engaged in the following exchange with Fox’s Lawrence Jones…

Leavitt: These are radical, Marxist ideas that have never worked in the history of the world. And I think that it’s a choice coming up between communism and common sense. That’s how the president views it. And that’s why Americans need to vote for this president and Republican Party and the common sense ideals that make this the greatest nation in the history of the world.
Jones: Do you think this helps the president and the Republican Party during the midterms that they have decided in this Democratic Socialist civil war that this is the new Democratic Party?
Leavitt: It certainly is.

Leavitt: "That's why Americans need to for this president" (when will people be voting for Trump again?)

This is yet another example of dimwitted, purposefully misleading, Republicans demonstrating that they have absolutely no idea what the definition of communism is. They just use the word as an all-purpose pejorative to frighten their equally ignorant cult followers. They might as well be warning about a pack of invading Sasquatch soldiers.

Leavitt and Trump and other hive-minded Republicans were triggered by recent primary victories by progressive Democrats. Some of them identify as Democratic Socialists, who are not communists. In fact, Democratic Socialists are in the mainstream of American politics that brought about things like Social Security, interstate highways, public libraries, Obamacare, and more of the most popular programs in the nation’s history.

What’s more, the GOP’s efforts to brand Democrats across the country as Socialists is small minded. The Democratic Party is big enough to embrace progressive Democrats in blue states and conservative Democrats in red and purple states. It isn’t one size fits all with blinded purity tests, like Republicans.

Communism, on the other hand, is a theory of government that proposes eliminating private ownership and placing the means of production in the control of the government. There is absolutely no Democrat who has supported anything even close to those ideas. Ironically, only Trump has advocated for those policies. And in office he has been exerting state power over previously independent institutions such as banking, defense, technology, transportation, and even the free press.

Trump has wielded that power by taking a role in corporate mergers, demanding multimillion dollar payments from corporations seeking government favors, and even forcing corporations to sell parts of the businesses to the government, or to him. It’s hard to tell if knows the difference. It’s as close to communism as any American president has ever come.

As for the media, while Trump has defunded public media such as PBS, NPR, and even Radio Free America, he has literally sued media conglomerates for billions of dollars, forcing them to either pay up or suffer retribution dished out by regulatory agencies over which he has assumed corrupt control. And too often they have acquiesced. Communist leaders like Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un are watching with envy.

The closer we get to the midterms, the more brazen Trump is getting. Just this month he has posted comments on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, warning that…

In a time when there is a powerful Communist Movement taking place in our Country, one more dangerous than World War I, World War II, Pearl Harbor, or September 11th.”

And that…

I’d be the Greatest Communist in History. I’d give free rent, free houses, free food, everything is free. Unfortunately, after two or three years, the Country where this is taking place would fail. […] These are not social Dumocrats, these are hard core, godless Communists.”

So far, none of this is succeeding in improving Trump’s standing with the American people. Which means that, knowing Trump, we can expect him to continue to sharpen his attacks and make them even less comprehensible. And of course, he will lie and misrepresent reality to his MAGA cult at every opportunity. As an example of how far he will diverge from reality, Trump is claiming to have his “Highest Poll Numbers Ever.” No, really…

For the record…Trump's poll numbers at RECORD LOWS! But even worse, he's saying here that they are the highest ever "DESPITE" Iran not having a nuclear weapon??? Someone on his incompetent, asskissing staff needs to tell him that's backwards. And also untrue.

Fox and Friends Trump-Fluffers are Dumbstruck When Told the Truth About Trump Losing in Iran

The propaganda machine of Donald Trump and his Gaslighting Gang is spinning furiously to deceive the American people about what is happening in Iran. For the most part , the only people being deceived are Trump’s gullible flock of cult disciples who have been brainwashed to believe what ever he says.

Fox News, Donald Trump Baby

It’s difficult to keep track of the number of times that Trump has declared that a ceasefire was agreed to with Iran, followed shortly by renewed bombing. Now in its fourth month, the war that Trump promised would take only days continues to rage despite his insistence that Iran’s military has been completely destroyed, and then destroyed again, and again, and…

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

Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda – aka Fox News – is playing its part in these deceptions. But even they are finding it harder to maintain their composure when confronted with inconvenient truths by their own guests. For example, on Sunday morning conservative radio host Sid Rosenberg was invited to join the “Curvy Couch” potatoes of Fox and Friends for what they thought would be a friendly chat about Trump’s “victorious” misadventures in Iran. It didn’t go well from the start, with co-host Griff Jenkins saying that…

“The way the administration sees it, and president Trump, is ‘We can go as long as we want. And ultimately finishing it for good is on the table.'”

What Jenkins was referring to was Trump’s recent genocidal threat that “Iran will no longer exist” if they violated the ceasefire agreement that Trump has already violated. But rather than getting the expected blind concurrence, Rosenberg went rogue, saying that…

“We can’t go for as long as we want. Clearly the gas prices are too high. Midterms are coming up. Look, let’s have an honest discussion about this…We haven’t won anything yet. I’m sorry Mr. President to break the news. But we haven’t won anything yet. There’s no end to this. We’re kind of in the same exact place we were a couple of months ago. They’re still striking us. We’re still striking them. Israel is still nervous. And quite frankly, American voters are still nervous. So how do you claim victory when the game is far from over? We’re in the 6th inning.”

The Fox Friends were visibly stunned into silence. They couldn’t refute Rosenberg, so they didn’t even bother to respond. Rosenberg went on to discuss how Trump keeps threatening Iran, but that they don’t care and are not being compelled to make any concessions. Rosenberg also noted that there is no actual deal, only a vague memorandum of understanding that promises Iran billions of dollars while committing them to nothing but opening the Strait of Hormuz, which was open before Trump started all of this.

This illustrates how hard it is for Fox News to keep up their propaganda. But they are nothing if not determined. Yesterday they interviewed White House deputy press secretary, Abigail Jackson, who rattled off some blatantly false talking points and the preposterous assertion that “Trump has been right about everything on Iran.”

This White House flack says that "Trump has been right about everything on Iran.""Their military has been totally destroyed." WRONG!"The Strait [of Hormuz] is open." WRONG!"Oil and gas prices came down." WRONG!The question is: Has Trump been right about ANYTHING? [NOPE]

Which is the sort of painfully obvious nonsense that we can expect from Fox News, who also said this on the unrelated subject of Trump’s disastrous “Freedumb 250” fair in Washington, D.C…

FOX NEWS BEING FOX NEWS:Reporting at Trump's "Freedumb 250" flop that "We've got thousands of people celebrating," while the video shows a few dozen lost tourists.And he hopes that a lot of them went home to watch this fiasco on Fox. So they can hear him lie about it? ?????
