WASSUP with Trump’s Weird Post Blaming Russia for ‘Standing in the Way of Peace’ with Ukraine?

Three years ago, at Vladimir Putin’s direction, Russia sent troops into Ukraine on a mission to occupy and annex the nation, and to overthrow its democratically elected government. That mission was opposed by the rest of the free world including the United States who, under the leadership of President Joe Biden, provided Ukraine with financial, military, and moral support.

Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin

Unfortunately, when Donald Trump returned the White House, he immediately began to reverse course and abandon the efforts on behalf of our ally Ukraine. Instead, Trump took the side of Putin, blaming the war on Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, who Trump actually accused of starting the war. Trump even blamed Biden for being either too weak (to deter Putin), or too strong (by supporting Ukraine’s entry into the European Union and NATO). Take your pick. But Trump’s loyalty to Putin was, and still is, unshakeable.

SEE THIS: Trump Takes Putin’s Side (Again) on Charges that Ukraine Attacked a Putin Residence

Which makes the comment that Trump posted today on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, something more than peculiar. The comment linked to an article in the ordinarily far-right tabloid, the New York Post, citing its headline that says “Putin ‘attack’ bluster shows Russia is the one standing in the way of peace.”

That’s a complete contradiction of Trump’s long held position that Putin is “serious” about wanting peace, and that Zelenskyy has been obstructing it. The Post’s article noted Trump’s unfounded optimism that an end to the war was “closer than ever before,” and that “Putin chose lies, hatred, and death instead,” referencing his evidence-free allegation that Ukraine had just bombed one of his residences. The article elaborated that…

“It’s rich that Putin, who has waged a brutal war for nearly four years, believes that any violence in his vicinity merits special outrage. After all, Russia launched 131 drones on Christmas at Kyiv and other cities, killing seven civilians. Civilians. The Kremlin specifically targets apartment buildings and power plants to punish the ordinary people of Ukraine. The Russians kidnap children. They torture and execute prisoners. Further, Moscow has tried repeatedly to assassinate Zelensky. Any attack on Putin is more than justified. But here’s the rub: The drone strike likely never happened.” […]

“The answer should not be more concessions, but a bigger stick. Kyiv has done its part. The onus should be on Putin to step up or face more stringent sanctions and more deadly weapons in Ukraine…Spare us his crocodile tears and turn up the heat.”

Despite the fact that there is no proof that Putin’s residence was bombed, Trump predictably took Putin’s word for it. Never mind that Zelenskyy denied it, and Trump had no evidence from U.S. or allied intelligence that confirmed it. To the contrary, Trump’s own NATO ambassador, Matthew Whitaker, couldn’t confirm it during a friendly interview on Fox News.

Even though Trump took Putin's word for it, his own NATO Ambassador, Matthew Whitaker, can't confirm to Fox News whether there was any attack on a Putin residence by Ukraine. #TrumpIsPutinsPuppet

News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-12-30T18:30:24.722Z

So it’s curious that Trump would post a link to this New York Post article that so forcefully condemns Russia and Putin. Did Trump just read the headline and fail to understand it? Was it a mistake that will be deleted soon? Or has Trump completely reversed his opinion and has chosen to reveal that in a one-line social media posting? This would mark a profound change in policy. And if anyone in the media is paying attention, they should ask him about it at the next opportunity.

During the 2024 campaign Trump promised that, were he elected, he would negotiate a peace plan between Russia and Ukraine in 24 hours with a single phone call before he was even inaugurated. But he’s been in office now for nearly a year and hasn’t made any progress whatsoever. Russia, meanwhile, has actually escalated their relentless and barbaric bombing of civilians in Ukraine.

Trump could renew support for Ukraine at any time by providing weapons, intelligence, and other resources. He could impose more sanctions on Russia and confiscate billions of dollars of frozen Russian assets in U.S. banks, and hand it over to Ukraine. Or he could continue to lavish praise on Putin and criticism on Zelenskyy. Would anyone put odds against the latter?

Trump’s Scammy Media Stock, and Truth Social Parent, Completes a Classic Pump and Dump

As the first year of Donald Trump’s second occupation of the White House winds down, the evidence of his failure is glaringly apparent. His administration has presided over economic debacles, executed foreign policy blunders, and is mired in domestic scandals, including the Jeffrey Epstein affair that is breaking apart his previously devoted MAGA cult.

Trump Baby on Cash Pile

Trump’s own financial endeavors have been on a descent into ever deeper depths. Although he has structured his business ventures much like the Mafia, where they produce gains for him regardless of how they actually perform. Any other investors have likely lost a bundle.

The latest example of that is the merger of the Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG) with TAE Technologies, a nuclear fusion startup. TAE’s energy products are at present speculative and they have no facilities generating any power resources. Nevertheless, the news caused TMTG’s stock to surge 33% from about $11.00 per share to a high of about $16.80. That gain, however was short-lived. Two weeks later TMTG is hovering at around $12.80 again. So anyone who jumped in on the news is already suffering a 25% loss.

That’s typical of the tribulations of investors in Trump and his business misadventure. Throughout 2025, TMTG’s stock has spiraled downward. It has crashed more than 62% year to date. And this is the year that Trump returned to power, causing many of his supporters to assume that he and his businesses would be a good investments.

There is no reason to believe that the TAE merger will turn anything around. The last major news from TMTG was that it was entering the crypto business. It represented a major departure from its core media technology pursuits to a sort of cryptocurrency treasury. They made a huge and poorly timed $2 billion bet on Bitcoin, which then promptly plummeted from their $118,000 purchase price to about $88,000. Trump’s economic advisors are proving to be no more capable than his political advisors.

Despite the financial fiascos that Trump has presided over, he continues to shield himself from the losses suffered by his flock of cult followers, who keep getting fleeced, but seem to like it. Even more troubling is that his shady practices are providing a path for disreputable parties to grease his palm for political favors. That includes foreign operatives from adversarial nations and conflicted corporate leaders seeking legislative largesse. All of whom are more interested in buying influence than investing.

Trump’s fiscal failings are mirroring his political plunges. He is stuck at the bottom of the political pothole that he has dug for himself. Although you wouldn’t know by the celebratory gushing of his perky Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt. For a more reality-based appraisal of Trump’s misfortunes, here’s a brief summary of the ongoing disaster we know as Trump World…

Trump Media (Truth Social) Falls to Its Lowest Point Ever – And So Does Donald Trump
Reflecting the animus that Trump inspires in America, his scam business venture, Trump Media and Technology Group, is suffering its worst week since it went public a year and a half ago. It has lost a whopping 80% of its asset value since then.

Trump’s Truth Social AI is Woke AF: Even His Own Social Media App Hates Him
Truth Social’s Artificial Intelligence app is going woke. It is actually telling the truth about Trump and contradicting his flagrant lies on numerous subjects.

The Trump Media and Technology Group (Truth Social) Scam Reflects His Fondness for Fraud
During an interview on CNBC, Trump complained that he has been treated “very badly” by banks that he alleged were discriminating against him. Of course that might be because of the 34 felony convictions he has for defrauding banks. Not to mention a civil lawsuit finding of liability that cost him about half a billion dollars.

Trump’s Truth Social is Creating ‘Non-Woke’ Investment Portfolios for MAGA Cult Investors/Dupes
The focus of the Trump investment portfolios rests on buzzwords plucked from his political rhetoric. And what could possibly have more income potential than “non-woke” enterprises that pursue the anti-democratic goals of the MAGA movement?

Truth Social, Trump’s Pathetic Personal Propaganda Platform, Continues to Bleed Cash
In what may be the least surprising news of the year so far, Donald Trump’s flagship social media enterprise, Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG) – the parent holding company of his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social – released its annual report on Friday that revealed just how big a failure it is.

Trump’s Truth Social is Shedding Users Like a Miserable Childless Woman’s Mangy Cat
The Donald Trump-controlled Truth Social platform recorded its third straight month of declining traffic. Truth Social attracted 2,112,000 unique visitors, down 38% compared to June 2023 when the site generated 3,407,000 unique visitors. It was the platform’s second worst traffic performance since June 2022 when Truth Social had only 1,891,000 unique visitors.

Truth Social Disease: Ads on Trump’s Twitter Ripoff are Mostly Scams and Trump-Fluffing Merch
Advertisers are afraid of their ads being juxtaposed with hate speech and other noxious content. Consequently, the only advertisers who are willing to shell out are sketchy scammers, conspiracy theorists, and junk peddlers.

Trump Takes Putin’s Side (Again) on Charges that Ukraine Attacked a Putin Residence

On Sunday Donald Trump met with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy at his putrid Palm Beach palace, Mar-a-Lago. It went a bit better than the last meeting they had at the White House, where Trump and his cronies ambushed Zelenskyy and failed in their attempts to humiliate him. But that doesn’t mean that it went well this time.

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

Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin

Prior to the meeting it was revealed that Trump had spoken first to his boss, Vladimir Putin. Presumably to get his instructions for how to conduct the meeting. And Putin must have been pleased by what he saw. Trump could not have been more obedient to the agenda of his Russian master. There was little of substance that Trump could deliver afterward.

When asked by the press how the meeting went, Trump rattled off some cliché talking points about the it being “productive” and/or “constructive,” but no plans were laid out for peace, and no agreements were announced. It was typical Trumpian blather that was utterly devoid of anything meaningful, or even coherent. And it didn’t further the peace process any more than his prior diplomatic charades…

SEE THIS: TACO Trump Gives Putin Another 2 Weeks – No, Really, 2 Weeks – and He Really Means It This Time

However, the lack of progress didn’t deter Trump from dispensing more of his hallmark bullshittery on Monday morning to the media gathered for an unrelated meeting with Israeli Prime Minister, Netanyahu.. Included was Trump’s absurdly unwarranted opinion that this time Putin is serious about peace, and wants Ukraine to succeed.” He has a funny way of showing that, by bombing civilian targets in Ukrainian cities and slaughtering untold numbers of innocent people. And when challenged on that, Trump actually tried to equate Ukraine’s defensive actions with Russia’s savage aggression.

One especially disturbing issue arose when Trump was asked about reports that Ukraine had bombed one of Putin’s many residences in Russia. Trump replied that…

“I don’t like it. It’s not good. I heard about it this morning. You know who told me about it? President Putin told me about it. Early in the morning. He said he was attacked…I learned about it from President Putin today. I was very angry about it.”

Trump on a report that Ukraine tried to strike Putin's residence: "I don't like it. It's not good. I heard about it this morning. You know who told me about it? President Putin told me about it … I was very angry about it."

Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-12-29T18:41:54.298Z

That’s interesting considering that there has been no confirmation of any such attack, and Zelenskyy explicitly denied that it happened. Zelenskyy said that

“Russia is at it again, using dangerous statements to undermine all achievements of our shared diplomatic efforts with President Trump’s team…This alleged ‘residence strike’ story is a complete fabrication intended to justify additional attacks against Ukraine, including Kyiv, as well as Russia’s own refusal to take necessary steps to end the war. Typical Russian lies.”

So Trump is once again taking the word of Putin, an American adversary, over that of Zelenskyy, an American ally. And even over the word of American intelligence. It’s more proof that Trump is, knowingly or otherwise, a Russian asset who is working against the interests of the United States. This was further affirmed in the press avail on Sunday when Trump tried again to dismiss credible allegations of his collusion with Russia…

WHUT? Trump is defending himself against charges of his collusion with Russia by saying that "he'd call me, I'd call him. [and that] A lot of success could have been had by trading with Russia."He's literally admitting to colluding.

News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-12-29T10:03:35.459Z

Meanwhile, Russian newspapers are reporting on the meeting with Zelenskyy, and they couldn’t be happier about how it all went down, saying that “The US leader’s philosophy is closer to the values of Russia’s president.” That’s true. And it’s troubling that the Russian media is reporting it, but that the American media isn’t..

In case you were wondering how the meeting with Putin's puppet (Donald Trump) and Ukrainian President Zelenskyy is being viewed in Russia…

HUH? Trump Flunky Tells Fox News that Small Businesses Are ‘Excited’ to Pay Taxes Thanks to Trump

It’s high time that Trump gets credit where credit is deserved. And truth be told, no president in U.S. history has been as averse to the truth as the current occupant of the White House. His record of flagrantly lying about all matters, great or small, is unsurpassed. And while he isn’t particularly good at it, he is devoted to it.

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

Donald Trump, Stock Market

Fortunately for Trump, he doesn’t need much skill to pass off his lies to the cult followers he is lying to. They hungrily eat them up and beg for more. And they can’t be persuaded that Trump’s lies are completely removed from reality because cult followers are brainwashed to believe only their Dear Leader and assume that everyone else is lying to them. Which allows Trump to take credit for virtually anything.

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

In addition to the barrage of flagrant falsehoods that flow from Trump himself, the Confederacy of Trumpists that populate his regime are similarly trained to disseminate untruths to the loyal MAGA-tists. Case in point is Trump’s SBA Administrator, Kelly Loeffler. She was at her post on Fox News Sunday morning to unleash a litany of lies to the willing believers…

“Small business optimism is really spiking under president Trump after four very difficult years under Joe Biden….I don’t think small business owners have ever been so excited to pay their taxes thanks to President Trump.”

Kelly Loeffler: "I don't think small business owners have ever been so excited to pay their taxes thanks to President Trump."

Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-12-28T15:16:50.293Z

Those comments are typical of the sort of gaslighting that Trump et al engage in. She expects people to accept the notion that business owners are actually “excited” to pay their taxes now that Trump has made it so much fun. Can’t you just imagine all of these taxpayers grinning ear to ear as they sign their tax returns and skip merrily down the street to deposit them in the mailbox?

There’s just one little problem. None of what Loeffler is saying is remotely true. To the contrary, small businesses are struggling to keep their heads above water in Trump’s collapsing economy. The Washington Post just published a detailed analysis entitled Bankruptcies soar as companies grapple with inflation, tariffs.” The article began…

“Corporate bankruptcies surged in 2025, rivaling levels not seen since the immediate aftermath of the Great Recession, as import-dependent businesses absorbed the highest tariffs in decades.

“At least 717 companies filed for bankruptcy through November, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. That’s roughly 14 percent more than the same 11 months of 2024, and the highest tally since 2010.”

For the record, the 11 months of 2024 that saw far fewer bankruptcies were presided over by President Biden, who Loeffler falsely accused of leading through “four very difficult years.” While there were some challenges during Biden’s term, they were resolved before Trump was inaugurated. After which his policies just made things worse.

Had Loeffler ever actually spoken to any small business owners, she would know that that are not “excited” about paying taxes. Nor are they thrilled with the present economic conditions. She would know that they are suffering through hard times that are the direct result of Trump’s ignorance, negligence, and even deliberate malfeasance.

As for the business owners, they know that they are paying more for imported goods thanks to Trump’s tariffs. They know that it’s harder to hire and retain employees thanks to his short-sighted, xenophobic immigration policies. They know that there is anxiety inducing uncertainty caused by Trump frequently shifting his actions and rhetoric. And they are all to aware of the abysmal consumer sentiment ratings that are near historic lows. The University of Michigan’s Index of Consumer Sentiment is down 28 points from the same time last year when Biden was finishing his term.

Yet somehow Trump’s SBA chief has the gall to go on Fox News and tell their viewers that they are all “excited” to pay their taxes. You have to wonder how many of them just nodded their heads and said “Yeah, it’s so exciting.” But it’s more likely that most of them furrowed their brows and thought “WTF is she talking about?”

PLAY OR PAY? Trump’s Kennedy Center Boss Threatens to Sue Musician Who Canceled His Performance

The authoritarian aspirations of Donald Trump are a hideous hallmark of his second occupation of the White House as he endeavors to emulate his tyrannical heroes such as Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un, and Xi Jinping. Trump makes no secret of his admiration for dictators who rule with an iron fist, forcing their subjects to capitulate to the will of Dear Leader on all matters.

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

Donald Trump

Trump’s totalitarian tendencies are evident in his unconstitutional executive decrees, his defiance of judicial judgments, his military invasions of U.S. cities, his illegal imposition of tariffs, his persecution of political foes, his attacks on small boats in international waters, his deportations of migrants without due process, and his suppression of the free press. And if you need any more examples, in recent weeks Trump has been naming governmental entities for himself and taking control of them in the most nauseating manner imaginable. For example…

SEE THIS: Did Trump Just Post a Death Threat to Stephen Colbert After Watching His Kennedy Center Flop?

Trump’s seizure of the Kennedy Center is emblematic of his lawless behavior. He has no legal authority to rename the memorial that Congress bestowed on President John F. Kennedy. It was a purely political and egomaniacal move by Trump to exalt himself. And it has already had disastrous consequences as attendance and revenue have collapsed.

It isn’t only audiences who are staying away. Some of America’s most revered artists are refusing to perform at the newly politicized Center. The latest cancelation is jazz musician Chuck Redd, who has been hosting an annual “Christmas Eve Jazz Jam” there for nearly twenty years. However, his principled stance against Trump’s takeover has triggered a predictable act of retribution from the Trump regime. According to the New York Post

“The jazz musician who abruptly backed out of hosting a Christmas Eve concert at the Trump-Kennedy Center will face a $1 million lawsuit for the ‘political stunt,’ the head of the performing arts venue [Richard Grenell] revealed Friday.

Grenell, Trump’s appointed toady, is likely following orders from Trump, who appointed himself chairman of the Center, and is notoriously fond of filing lawsuits. Grenell announced the lawsuit threat on Twitter/X saying that “The left is boycotting the Arts because Trump is supporting the Arts. But we will not let them cancel shows without consequences.” Of course, the left is certainly not boycotting the arts, and Trump has never supported them.

The Post’s article also quoted Grenell saying that Redd’s “decision to withdraw is…very costly to a non-profit Arts institution.” Which is peculiar, because in the same article Grenell contradicted himself…

“Grenell claimed that attendance for the Jazz Jam…had been ‘lagging considerably behind our other Christmas and holiday offerings.’ [and that] ‘The most avant-garde and well-regarded performers in your genre will still perform regularly, and unlike you, they’ll do it to sold out crowds regardless of their political leanings,’ Grenell continued.”

Grenell is actually hurting his own legal arguments. He’s saying that Redd’s cancelation has been “very costly,” but also that it has “lagged considerably.” And yet, this allegedly lagging event is worth a million dollars in compensation via his meritless, nuisance lawsuit. It all makes perfect sense if you have the remedial math skills, and flagrant dishonesty, of Trump and his MAGA cronies.

To top it off, the PR flack for the Center added that “The Trump Kennedy Center is a true bipartisan institution that welcomes artists and patrons from all backgrounds — great art transcends politics.” Never mind that Trump himself admitted his brazenly partisan interference in the schedule saying that “We don’t need woke at the Kennedy Center, and we don’t need — some of the shows were terrible. They were a disgrace that they were even put on.” He later added that the potential honorees “all went through me. I turned down plenty who were too woke.” He’s really transcending politics, isn’t he?

Meanwhile, Trump is still doing what he does best: fouling up everything with his grotesque and gaudy aesthetic taste, or more accurately, lack thereof…

Trump’s Christo-Fascist Homeland Security Department Declares that America ‘Shares a Savior’

The holiday season in America is one that is celebrated by most Americans as a time of peace, goodwill, and unity. The joyful spirit of the season is shared by people of all faiths. And there is respect for the broad diversity of religious beliefs practiced in a nation that cherishes religious freedom.

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

Donald Trump Messiah

Sadly, there is an effort to shatter that tradition of brotherhood by the current occupant of the White House, Donald Trump. His bigotry and pseudo-Christian elitism is a core component of his aspirations for an authoritarian reign. He brandishes his phony sanctimony as a cudgel to force others into submission. And he exploits his faux faith as a tool of invective and intimidation.

SEE THIS: Merry Christmas to Trump From America’s Patriotic ‘Radical Left Scum’ that Drive Him CRAZY (er)

Examples of Trump’s brand of Christian Nationalism are on display by his Cabinet secretaries who serve him as if he were their messiah. In s series of tweets, the Trump toadies have announced not only their own piety to one particular religion, but have declared that religion as the chosen faith for the whole nation. The following was tweeted by the official account of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) led by puppy killer, Kristi Noem…

“Merry Christmas, America. We are blessed to share a nation and a Savior.”

It isn’t unusual for a political person or entity to wish good tidings for believers of any particular religion. However, it is entirely inappropriate – and even un-American – to proclaim that the whole nation shares a savior. The Constitution’s First Amendment prohibits such proclamations. And by violating that prohibition, Trump’s DHS is debasing a long held American principle of religious liberty. And the DHS wasn’t alone…

  • Department of Defense: “Merry Christmas to all. Today we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.”
  • Department of Labor: “Let Earth Receive Her King.”
  • The White House: “The First Lady and I send our warmest wishes to all Americans as we share in the joy of Christmas Day and celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.”

Despite the universality of those comments, they are not beliefs shared by all Americans. In practice, they aren’t even shared by Trump. On Christmas Day Trump, who fancies himself as the “Peace President,” bombed alleged terrorists in Nigeria that he said were killing Christians. He provided no evidence of that, and it has been disputed by officials in Nigeria.

However, Trump’s pal Vladimir Putin is indisputably slaughtering mostly Christians in Ukraine, but Trump doesn’t seem to care about them. Meanwhile, he spent most of Christmas Day posting vile insults and self glorifying comments on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social (nearly 200 posts). So he obviously wasn’t in church or celebrating the day with family.

The video posted by DHS is an MTV-style music video featuring an English version of a Christmas song that was popular in Japan, “Christmas Eve” originally by Yamashita Tatsuro. It’s safe to assume that the Trumpists didn’t get the rights to use it. Visually it is a compilation of snippets of holiday cultural imagery interspersed with photos of Trump, further implying that he is the “savior” that the nation shares.

The purposefully mixed message that exalts both Jesus and Trump is designed to advance a perverse version of Christianity, while simultaneously belittling all other beliefs. It is the canon of a cult. And it should never have been posted by a government entity.

But with the past behavior of the Trump regime, it isn’t surprising that they would stoop so low. They are determined to promulgate a belief in Trump and impose loyalty to him above all others. Many Trumpists are already praying to His MAGA-sty. His White House spiritual advisor, Paula White, recently said that “To say no to President Trump would be saying no to God.” No, actually, it wouldn’t. But try to explain that to a member of the Trump cult.

Merry Christmas to Trump From America’s Patriotic ‘Radical Left Scum’ that Drive Him CRAZY (er)

“It’s the most wonderful time of the year.” And joyful people are gathering with family and friends to enjoy the tidings of the season. It’s a time when everyone is wishing for peace on Earth, and good will toward all. Well, almost everyone. There are still some folks who are holding out for a White Nationalist Christmas.

Donald Trump, Snowflakes

America’s Grinch-in-Chief, Donald Trump, is cowering in his Mar-a-Lago bunker in Palm Beach and spreading venom and invective to his many perceived enemies. Not satisfied with just making those around him miserable, Trump was compelled on Christmas Eve to post a poison pen comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. He raged…

“Merry Christmas to all, including the Radical Left Scum that is doing everything possible to destroy our Country.”

Peace on Earth and good will to all…Trump really has the #Christmas spirit, don't he?

News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-12-25T02:23:01.605Z

It’s the traditional role that Trump plays out every year at this time. Poor baby is having a blue Christmas. Perhaps because he’s expecting a blue wave next November at election time. He can’t help himself. Because he is filled with hatred and consumed by ego, he has no choice but to be a world-class prick who casts darkness everywhere he goes. Trump has been doing this every Christmas. For instance…

  • 2022: “Merry Christmas to EVERYONE, including the Radical Left Marxists that are trying to destroy our Country.”
  • 2023: “Merry Christmas to all, including […] the THUGS we have inside our Country [who] are looking to destroy our once great USA. MAY THEY ROT IN HELL.”
  • 2024: “Merry Christmas to the Radical Left Lunatics, who are constantly trying to obstruct our Court System and our Elections.”

UPDATE: Here’s a late addition. This is how Trump is spending Christmas Day: “Merry Christmas to all the Sleazebags who loved Jeffrey Epstein.”

Heartwarming, isn’t it? But it isn’t something that we have to tolerate. For several years News Corpse has been celebrating the season by presenting a musical gift that is truly inclusive and welcoming. This is for all of those who are not huddled around a dead tree today, buried in colorfully wrapped packages. It’s for the cynics who won’t accept the notion that the birth of a messenger of peace and love is an excuse to exchange material goods or fruitcakes that nobody likes.

It is for the forsaken and forlorn, the outcasts and rebels and nonbelievers who are puzzled by the greed and commercialism that permeates the season. And yes, it’s for those who still believe that peace and goodwill are morally superior to profit and oppression. So we leave you with Miles Davis and Bob Dorough performing the heartwarming traditional Christmas ballad “Blue Xmas.” And Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to All!

Did Trump Just Post a Death Threat to Stephen Colbert After Watching His Kennedy Center Flop?

The seething hatred that Donald Trump embodies for his many perceived enemies is well documented. He frequently disgorges it in rabid rants on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. And it is aimed at anyone who is even mildly critical, or less than drooling with adoration.

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

Stephen Colbert & Trump Baby

Naturally, much of his acrid anger is directed at journalists who dare to report the unvarnished truth about his policy failures and his personal foibles. Of course he also regularly unleashes venomous acrimony aimed at both Democratic and Republican politicians who have the audacity to disagree with him on matters great and small. His flaming fury has none of the limits of decency practiced by his predecessors. When Trump gets mad at you, he wants you terminated permanently.

SEE THIS: Trump Accuses Democratic Members of Congress With ‘Seditious Behavior, Punishable by Death’

Late Tuesday night Trump had just finished watching the CBS broadcast of himself hosting the Kennedy Center Honors award show. You might think that he was enjoying his evening at home and preparing for bedtime. You would be wrong. Trump was wide awake and in a foul mood. As he was hate-watching one of his archenemies, Stephen Colbert, he fired off a series of comments on Truth Social that put his acute animosity on vivid display. He whined that

“Stephen Colbert is a pathetic trainwreck, with no talent or anything else necessary for show business success. Now, after being terminated by CBS, but left out to dry, he has actually gotten worse, along with his nonexistent ratings. Stephen is running on hatred and fumes ~ A dead man walking! CBS should, ‘put him to sleep,’ NOW, it is the humanitarian thing to do!”

That comment was posted just minutes after Colbert’s monologue that included jokes about Trump hosting the Kennedy Center awards. But Trump may not have realized that it was a Colbert rerun from December 8.

Nevertheless, in his delusional and dishonest state, Trump fails to accept that Colbert is a beloved comedian who hosts the top rated program on late night TV. Trump also fails to note that Colbert was canceled by CBS as a favor to Trump, and likely demanded by Trump.

However, the the most disturbing part of Trump’s comment is where he calls Colbert a “dead man walking” and says that “the humanitarian thing to do” would be to “put him to sleep.” No doubt some of Trump’s deranged cult disciples would be happy to oblige him.

If Colbert ever said anything like that about Trump, the FBI would be banging down his door and interrogating him for having made a death threat against the president. But apparently it’s okay for Trump to make death threats against anyone he wants to, including politicians, journalists, and now entertainers. And he had the gall to appoint himself chairman of the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts? Even so, Trump wasn’t finished ranting. He continued

“Who has the worst Late Night host, CBS, ABC, or NBC??? They all have three things in common: High Salaries, No Talent, REALLY LOW RATINGS!”

And also

“If Network NEWSCASTS, and their Late Night Shows, are almost 100% Negative to President Donald J. Trump, MAGA, and the Republican Party, shouldn’t their very valuable Broadcast Licenses be terminated? I say, YES!”

Trump’s question is actually pretty good. But, as usual, is answer is wrong. If there is so much negativity directed at Trump, maybe it’s because Trump is a monstrous abomination who has earned that opposition. As to whether the networks should have their licenses terminated, they would first need to have licenses. They don’t. The federal government does not license television networks. So Trump is in favor of terminating licenses that don’t exist.

Trump may have had a few other reasons to be upset by this evening’s affairs. First, CBS refused to identify either the Center or the awards as the “Trump Kennedy Center,” as Trump had illegal proclaimed it to be. According to the Washington Post

“In lead-up advertising, logos and voice-over throughout the broadcast, CBS referred to the show as the 48th annual Kennedy Center Honors, at the Kennedy Center. […] CBS News’s standards department last week instructed staffers to maintain the original Kennedy Center name [because] it would take Congressional approval to officially change the name.”

Secondly, the network left most of Trump’s hosting duties on the cutting room floor…

“The televised broadcast presented a pared-down version of Trump’s opening remarks, cutting his introduction from about 12 minutes live to two minutes for viewers at home — and leaving out several of his looser jokes, including a reference to the laughing audience as ‘miserable, horrible people.'” […]

“Throughout the ceremony, Trump made limited appearances onstage, instead introducing remaining honorees in video segments prerecorded from the Oval Office.”

And last but not least, the ratings for the Trump-hosted awards show were horrible. Programming Insider Insider reports that…

“According to preliminary Nielsen data, ‘The Kennedy Center Honors’ on CBS drew its smallest audience ever on the night of December 23, 2025, averaging an estimated 2.65 million viewers. To put that in perspective: the 2024 broadcast averaged 4.1 million.”

That’s gotta sting. A few weeks ago, when Trump announced who the honorees would be, he made a prediction about the broadcast saying that “It’s going to be something that I believe, and I’m going to make a prediction: This will be the highest-rated show that they’ve ever done.” Oops.

Also, in Colbert’s monologue, there is a clip of Trump slamming prior hosts, saying that “I’ve watched some of the people that host. Jimmy Kimmel was horrible. If I can’t beat out Jimmy Kimmel in terms of talent, then I don’t think I should be president.” Okay! Although Kimmel never hosted the Kennedy Center awards. But Colbert did, three times. And no, Trump couldn’t beat either of them. And no, he shouldn’t be president, for so many other reasons.

Trump’s humongous ego is notoriously fragile. Plus, he has been remotely diagnosed as a malignant narcissist. So numbers like these will bring out the worst in him. The problem is that these sort of tantrums suffered by someone with presidential powers is extremely dangerous. And for the welfare of the nation – and the world – he should be removed from office ASAP.

Trump is having a bad night, so he's up rage-posting about TV comedians.He wants Stephen Colbert to be "put to sleep." And he thinks that networks have broadcast licenses (they don't) that should be "terminated."Poor baby isn't getting enough sleep at his Cabinet meetings.

Trump Declares the New York Times a ‘Threat to National Security’ that ‘Must Be Stopped’

The seething animosity that Donald Trump has toward the free press and the Constitution’s First Amendment is well known and thoroughly documented. He regularly refers to the media in Stalinist terms as “the enemy of the people.” And even mild criticism is met with savage insults and ludicrous lawsuits intended to intimidate and silence anyone who dares to find fault with His MAGA-sty.

Donald Trump, Newspapers, Baby, Hate

However, if you thought that Trump was satisfied with his constant barrage of vile invective, you are vastly underestimating his unquenchable capacity for deep seated loathing and voracious appetite for vengeance. There is nothing that triggers a Trump temper tantrum more than a news story that reveals his multitude of glaring flaws. He demands unflinching adoration at all times.

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

On Tuesday morning Trump escalated his war against the free press with a spine-chilling comment posted to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. The hostility in his most recent rhetoric should be of concern to every freedom loving American patriot who cherishes the Constitution and it’s protection of liberty. Trump raged in a late-night outburst against one of his perennial foes, the New York Times, over some unspecified offense to his massive, yet fragile ego…

“The Failing New York Times, and their lies and purposeful misrepresentations, is a serious threat to the National Security of our Nation. Their Radical Left, Unhinged Behavior, writing FAKE Articles and Opinions in a never ending way, must be dealt with and stopped. THEY ARE A TRUE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE! Thank you for you attention to this matter. PRESIDENT DJT”

It’s impossible to decipher precisely what specific story set Trump off late last night. It could be related to the latest bombshell incriminations in the newly released Jeffrey Epstein files. Or he might be upset that the Times caught him napping during recent Cabinet meetings. Or maybe he’s whining about not being praised for having crashed the economy and making everything more expensive with his inflationary tariffs (aka taxes). Or perhaps people aren’t properly elated by his extrajudicial murders of possibly innocent people in small boats off the coast of Venezuela. There is just so much to choose from.

Trump may just be outraged by an all-of-the-above batch of reporting on atrocities for which he is responsible. In any event, he is embarking on a path of psychotic fury over what he claims – without any rational basis – are “FAKE Articles and Opinions.” Of course all articles and opinions are constitutionally protected, even if the subject of them disapproves. But since Trump doesn’t bother to cite any of these alleged misrepresentation, his claims can’t be confirmed or believed.

What’s even worse about this outburst is Trump’s allegation that the allegedly “Unhinged Behavior” of the Times is a “serious threat to the National Security of our Nation.” That’s the sort of language that Trump commonly unleashes to justify violent military assaults on whoever he is angry with at the moment.

Consequently, it’s fair to assume that he is craving an opportunity to treat the Times the same way he is treating the people in those boats in the Caribbean. After all, he used the very same language for both of these situations. Just one week ago he justified bombing those boats by asserting without evidence that they were transporting drugs, and that “drug trafficking cartels POSE A THREAT to U.S. National Security.” And now he’s saying that about the New York Times.

It is clear that Trump has descended into a state of schizoid delusion and is suffering from severe cognitive impairment. It is Trump who is the imminent danger to the national security of the United States. And he needs to be deprived of power before he causes real, irreparable harm. Whether his removal is done by Congress, his Cabinet, the judiciary, his doctors, or his family, it needs to be done. And soon!

COMING SOON: The Trumpsonian Institution to Replace the Smithsonian and it’s Too ‘WOKE’ Museum

The American experiment in democracy has faced many challenges in the past 250 years. They include the founding War for Independence, a bloody civil war, a couple of world wars battling authoritarian regimes bent on global domination, and struggles with internal liberties that saw the assassinations of a beloved president and a revered civil rights leader. But has America ever faced the sort of threat represented by Donald Trump?

Donald Trump

There is a strong possibility that historians will regard the current state of affairs in America to be equally as challenging as those that came before. The White House is currently occupied by a wannabe dictator who is openly defying the nation’s laws and principles in pursuit of his own domineering aspirations. His intentions are evident in his acutely narcissistic endeavors to remake America in his own perverse image. And his hunger for exaltation is insatiable.

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

In recent weeks Trump has actually had the gall to unlawfully attach his own name to the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the U.S. Institute of Peace, and various new egocentric antics such as plastering his face on National Park passes, giant banners hanging on federal buildings, and phony immigration Gold Cards.

Now it is being reported that Trump’s next target is the Smithsonian Institution, a renowned resource for historical information and an acclaimed museum of America’s past. Naturally, Trump is upset by what he regards as the Institute’s preservation of materials that document everything about America, including some things for which is understandably ashamed. As reported by CNN

“The Trump administration has signaled to the Smithsonian Institution that the White House could withhold federal funding from the museum organization if it does not comply with the administration’s unprecedented, sweeping review.”

This is typical of the Mafia-style bullying that is such a familiar part of Trump tactics to get what he wants. Russell Vought, a co-author of the totalitarian playbook, Project 2025, and Trump’s White House director of the Office of Management and Budget, wrote in a threatening memo that…

“The American people will have no patience for any museum that is diffident about America’s founding or otherwise uncomfortable conveying a positive view of American history, one which is justifiably proud of our country’s accomplishments and record.”

So in the skewed perspective of Trump and his regime toadies, only America’s proud accomplishments should be preserved by a historical museum. Anything that reflects negatively on the nation – no matter how truthful – should be ignored and discarded. And if an honest and reputable museum declines to comply with that deliberate deceit, it should be starved of federal funding and allowed to be shutdown.

Of course, there is another option available. Trump could just appoint himself the chairman of the board of directors and force the institution to obey his irrational and dishonest edicts. In which case, it could then be renamed in Trump’s honor as the Trumpsonian Institution. This may actually be on Trump’s mind. Back in August he posted a comment to his failing Titter ripoff, Truth Social, that raged…

“The Museums throughout Washington, but all over the Country are, essentially, the last remaining segment of ‘WOKE.’ The Smithsonian is OUT OF CONTROL, where everything discussed is how horrible our Country is, how bad Slavery was.”

Right! We certainly wouldn’t want to preserve any part of American history that had the audacity to present slavery as something bad, would we? Trump went on to whine that the Smithsonian is too focused on the negative things in America’s past, and “Nothing about Success.” Which makes you wonder if he has ever even been to the Smithsonian.

In his anger he said that “I have instructed my attorneys to go through the Museums” to identify all of the bad things that should be removed. Notice that he didn’t give that instruction to historians or academics, but to his attorneys.

Trump wants the Smithsonian to capitulate to his demands in the same way that he has gotten some weak-kneed media companies, law firms, and universities, to do so. That’s how dictators roll. And if we allow him to get away with this, we can expect him to make ever more preposterous demands. If we’re not careful, pretty soon we could be saluting the flag of the United States of Trump. Gawd forbid!
