It’s a day that ends with “Y” so, therefore, it’s a day in which Donald Trump posts a loony message to his cult followers on his floundering Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. And as his legal peril increases, the looniness and seething desperation of his posts grow exponentially.

On Saturday morning Trump ventured into the true crime story of one of his cult disciples, Taylor Taranto, who was arrested this week with a cache of weapons near the home of former President Barack Obama. Taranto was also wanted for his participation in the January 6th insurrection in Washington, D.C., and authorities alleged that he “had threatened to blow up [his van] at a government facility.” In other words, he was a typically deplorable Trump devotee.

In his Pravda Social post, Trump lashed out at special counsel Jack Smith in his tediously repetitive fashion, referring to Smith as “deranged,” a condition that Trump should be familiar with. He was triggered by a photo of Taranto with his arm around a cardboard cutout of Trump.

Apparently Trump wasn’t pleased with the media reporting factually that Taranto was a longtime Trump supporter who was prone to violence. It wasn’t that Trump was bothered by the association. He was bothered that it was made public. Consequently, he raged that…
“This picture is a ‘cardboard cutout’ of me put out by the Fake News Media and probably supplied to them by Deranged Jack Smith and the Department of Injustice for purposes of Election Interference. Weaponization of ‘Justice’ is the new way that the Radical Left Democrat Lunatics will CHEAT in the 2024 Presidential Election. WE WILL STOP THEM!!!”
Notice that nothing in Trump’s comment is critical of what Taranto did to get arrested. Nor does he condemn the violence. He’s cool with all of that. However, he brazenly lies about the source of the photo as being “supplied to [the media] by Deranged Jack Smith and the Department of Injustice for purposes of Election Interference.” In reality, the photo comes from a Washington state Republican dinner in 2018, while he was still occupying the White House, and long before the special counsel probe.
Trump’s aversion to the truth is well established. And his obsessive hostility toward his perceived enemies is beyond psychotic. So naturally, he views Smith with contempt. Earlier the same day Trump posted that…
“Deranged Jack Smith, the wacko prosecutor that Corrupt Joe Biden and his Thugs stuck on me during the political campaign in which Biden is losing ‘BIG’ (an absolute No, No!), just announced that he has spent over 9 million dollars, already, on this continuing Witch Hunt. Biden’s Special Prosecutor, by comparison, has spent almost nothing. Prosecutorial Misconduct for purposes of Election Interference!”
It seems that Trump forgot that his infantile nickname prefix for Biden is “Crooked,” not “Corrupt.” But at least he is consistently maligning Smith as “Deranged,” despite how remarkably intelligent and focused he appears by all accounts.
Trump also claims that “Biden and his Thugs” “stuck” Smith on him. Although Biden had nothing to do with it. And Trump’s complaint that the “Witch Hunt” cost $9 million is evidence of Smith’s effectiveness. He’s already produced more than 60 felony counts in his indictments. John Durham, the special counsel appointed by Trump’s Attorney General, Bill Barr, spent about the same amount. But in nearly four years he only charged three people, one of whom pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor, and the other two were found not guilty at trial.
Finally, while Trump would like to believe that he can’t be prosecuted with an election coming up, that policy refers to elections that are within 60 days, not a year and a half. So if Smith continues to proceed expeditiously, and Trump fails to obstruct with delays, his trial can go forward.
In the meantime, expect Trump to continue to dispense lies, hatred, and incitations to further violence. Hopefully he will have the same measure of failure with that that he does with everything else that he attempts.

Fox Nation vs. Reality:
The Fox News Cult of Ignorance.Thanks so much for your support.
I sure do wish these ”News Corpse” articles could be published nationally so some of the uninformed citizens of the United States could read the totally honest and factual horrible things Donald TUMP is spewing on a daily basis.. I would love to see these writings by MARK NC in every newspaper in all 50 states. And also be posted online in the newspaper’s websites. Donald TUMP has lost what little mind he had by saying some of the things he is saying. One thing is certain, if these uninformed people could just see and read what this mentally deranged asshat was saying, and the threats he is making, he would not stand a chance in hell of even coming close to winning any election. He is delusional and extremely mentally unstable. People like him have no business holding any form of public office. He really needs to in a mental institution under 24 hour observation.
Sadly, John, those wilfully uninformed MAGAts don’t read newspapers nor would they read their content online. They absorb their “news” from rightwingding on-screen sources like FOX and Newsmax, a constant barrage of lies and disinfo. Do they visit Trump’s unTruth anti-Social site, which also requires reading, although on a grade-school level? I’d love to know just how many people Trump’s online rants attract, but I can’t imagine it’s very many.
I agree, and if they did read the good things Biden and Dems have accomplished, they would only scoff at them and would not believe it. I was talking to my next door neighbor,( not the TUMPERS that live on my east side) but my west side neighbor, and when i told her what was going on with what the Fascist Rethugs were doing, she was astonished about it, and said she had no idea that things like that were happening like that. I don’t know what her political leanings are, but she was in awe that bad things were happening in Congress and with Donald TUMP. She was openly disgusted by what the Fascist Rethugs were doing. I hope i was convincing enough to get out and vote, DEMOCRAT in the future elections. I have convinced a few people to vote Democrat in my area, but i hope to convince more in the coming months. I honestly do not understand how anyone could sit and watch TUMP rant and tell endless lies, disinformation, and they can’t see he is making up things on the go??? I know he can lie and exaggerate things like no on else can. He is good at that.
John, I share your stupefaction at people buying into the Trump cult but we need to remember the power of self-delusion, and the difficulty of shedding it. Astoundingly, acolytes of Hitler followed him right into the total destruction of their own country when any fool could see the doom that awaited, especially in the later stages of WW2. Never underestimate the effect of a Big Lie on gullible, vulnerable people, and Trump has been the personification of big lies all his life.
Oh yes, i have watched TV documentaries over and over again about Hitler in the past year. And was astounded that the many of the people of Germany followed him into the total destruction of their own nation. They were people in the huge crowds that were glassy eyed and totally dedicated to Hitler all had their arms out doing the Hitler salute. I often wonder what the ones that survived thought about their dear leader after their homes and everything they owned was destroyed and they were left wandering through the ruins and destruction??? I often wonder how people can be so gullible and can be taken in with their worship of one deluded maniac?? I learned a long time ago not to be fooled by people like TUMP and Adolf Hitler. These kind of people don’t fool me, i don’t believe a word they say. I am a very independent person when it comes to blowhards like TUMP. I am not fooled by them. I can see right through their lying rhetoric.
Just remember this if you can’t remember or decide to forget how he fooled his followers (Trump, not Hitler). According to his ex wife, Trump read only one book, the book of Hitler’s speeches which kept by his bed.
