The totalitarian dictatorships of Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un must be terribly envious of the smarmy fawning that Donald Trump enjoys from his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News. Even Russia and North Korea would be too ashamed to manufacture the gamey media communion that Trump enjoys with his Fox friends.

The intertwining of Trump’s administration with Fox News is impossible to ignore. He has recruited at least 21 Fox hosts or contributors to serve in his White House staff and Cabinet, including his secretaries of defense (Pete Hegseth) and transportation (Sean Duffy). And because the revolving door swings both ways, numerous Trump associates have taken positions at Fox News, including his former press secretary (Kayleigh McEnany), his former White House Counselor (Kellyanne Conway), and several MAGA Congress members.

On Saturday Fox News host and First Daughter-in-Law, Lara Trump, interviewed her own father-in-lawlessness, Donald Trump. Remember, this is on a network that has the audacity to include the word “news” in its name. But anyone who expected any actual news to emanate from this interview is terminally naïve.
Among the journalistic atrocities that occurred in this episode was one wherein Lara asked what may be the easiest political question ever contrived. And true to form, Trump flubbed the answer…
LARA: What is your message to the people that are suffering, to the parents of the young girls that were killed?
TRUMP: They were warned the day before, 2 days before.
When asked the softball question of the century by his daughter-in-law on Fox News, this mofo BLAMES THE VICTIMS!?!LARA: What is your message to the people that are suffering, to the parents of the young girls that were killed?TRUMP: They were warned the day before, 2 days before.

That’s right! When asked to simply give his message to the grieving families who suffered through the Texas floods, Trump blamed the victims for not heeding the warnings. The warnings that, by the way, were never properly delivered due to Trump’s decimating of the National Weather Service.
The rest of the interview was just as bad. For instance, Lara asked Trump another probing inquiry about his legacy. Trump replied predictably by both glorifying himself and insulting his political foes, saying that he wants to be remembered as…
“A good person, but a person that saved our country. I really believed our country was going down for the fall. I don’t know if it ever could’ve come back. It was very close to the edge”
LARA TRUMP: How would you like to be remembered?TRUMP: A good person, but a person that saved our country.
Trump continued by citing praise from “A lot of people [who] thought my first term was phenomenal. I did.” Then Trump praised himself with a preposterous distortion of reality concerning his Cabinet that is currently at each others throats, saying that “We have really good people this time, and they get along with each other. They love each other.”
REALLY? LOVE? The battle ensuing between Trump Attorney General, Pam Bondi, and his FBI heads, Kash Patel and Dan Bongino, is burning up the current news cycle as they clash on why the infamous Jeffrey Epstein client lists haven’t been release as promised. So it’s interesting that it never came up in Lara’s interview of the one person who could release those files now.
Nevertheless, that internecine war is playing out on Trump’s failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, in a comment by Trump that is profoundly deranged. What follows are a few annotated excerpts…
“What’s going on with my ‘boys’ and, in some cases, ‘gals?’ They’re all going after Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is doing a FANTASTIC JOB! We’re on one Team, MAGA, and I don’t like what’s happening. We have a PERFECT Administration”
Trump is whining about his own supporters who are outraged by his cover up of the Epstein files. And he has a strange definition of “PERFECT” that seems to include incompetent, unqualified, infighting, and perversely adoring of Dear Leader.
“Why are we giving publicity to Files written by Obama, Crooked Hillary, Comey, Brennan, and the Losers and Criminals of the Biden Administration?”
So the Epstein files don’t exist. Except that they do exist, but Trump still won’t release them, even though they were written by Obama and his other political foes.
“Why didn’t these Radical Left Lunatics release the Epstein Files? If there was ANYTHING in there that could have hurt the MAGA Movement, why didn’t they use it?”
Why doesn’t Trump release the Epstein files? If there is NOTHING in there that could hurt him and the MAGA movement, why doesn’t he come clean and keep his promise?
“Kash Patel, and the FBI, must be focused on investigating Voter Fraud, Political Corruption, ActBlue, The Rigged and Stolen Election of 2020. […] The 2020 Election was Rigged and Stolen, and they tried to do the same thing in 2024 — That’s what [Pam Bondi] is looking into as AG.”
So Kash Patel and Pam Bondi are laser focused on political retribution, rather than fighting real crime and keeping the country safe.
“[Let’s] not waste Time and Energy on Jeffrey Epstein, somebody that nobody cares about.”
Trump has a funny way of showing that nobody cares about Jeffrey Epstein by disgorging a rambling and tediously long treatise that proves just how much he cares about and/or fears what his files might contain.
Fox News must be so proud of Lara for snagging this exclusive interview. Just imagine how MAGA would have responded if MSNBC had hired Hunter Biden and he scored an interview with his father, the President. And never mind that Lara is currently mulling a race for the North Carolina Senate. Which means that she in violation of the Fox News policy that prohibits people who are running, or considering running, for office from being employed on the network. It’s not like Fox needs to respect journalistic ethics. They never have before.
