The MAGA Response to Trump’s ‘Poop on America’ Video is Worse than the Disgusting Video Itself

On Saturday, October 18, 2025, seven million American patriots took to the streets of more than 2,700 cities and towns across the nation to proclaim their love for their country and the democratic principles upon which it was founded. The “No Kings” rallies were a historic demonstration of the power of the people to smack down aspiring autocrats like Donald Trump.

Donald Trump

For his part, Trump was only able to muster a typically infantile and deranged response that effectively validated the reasons that so many people were out protesting him in the first place. The AI video that he posted on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, proved that his ego is his greatest motivator, and that his craving for absolute power fully justified the massive public outcry against the madness of wannabe kings. It’s a video that accurately expresses just how much he hates the American people. If you have a strong stomach, you can…

Trump’s gross out video ought to have produced some measure of shame among his supporters and followers. However, we are living in times when the moral character of what’s left of the GOP that would have elicited shame has been discarded and replaced by a sort of perverse pride. Consequently, Trump’s MAGA-tists have actually sought to defend his vile vulgarity. Beginning with the Republican Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, who had the following exchange with reporters…

Question: You say that the Democrats had a ‘Hate America Rally,’ but what does it say that the president of the United States over the weekend released a video of him pooping on the American people?
Johnson: The president uses social media to make a point. You can argue he’s probably the most effective person whose ever used social media for that. He is using satire to make a point. He is not calling for the murder of his political opponents. And that’s what these people are doing.

MAGA Mike Johnson won't condemn a video that Trump posted of him literally sh*tting on the American people. That's how big a kissass he is.What exactly does he think is the point Trump was making? How was it satire? It was just plain disgusting. And, sadly, typical of Trump.

News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-10-20T17:54:26.883Z

Not only did Johnson refuse to condemn the video, he praised Trump’s ability to nauseate people with social media. You have to be pretty deeply indoctrinated into the cult to find anything positive about Trump’s sick posting. There is nothing funny about bombing peaceful Americans with feces, just because they were exercising their constitutional rights. But Johnson was jsut getting started. We went on…

Johnson: Look, America is built on the idea of free speech you have the right to protest, of course, we jealously guard that. Chip [Roy] and I are attorneys. We defended that right in the courts. But what they’re doing right now is different. They’re trying to incite violence. That’s not funny. You don’t mock a president who has already had two failed assassination attempts on his life. This is not a game.

It’s impressive how Johnson can brag about his alleged support for free speech, as long as it isn’t used to mock Dear Leader Trump. That’s the same sort of conditional freedom that the Trumpists used get Jimmy Kimmel off the air, albeit briefly after they suffered a tidal wave of backlash.

SEE THIS: LOLOL: Jimmy Kimmel Crushes Trump in Poll Despite Having No Talent or Ratings (According to Trump)

Naturally, Trump weighed in himself on the No Kings rallies. And his remarks affirmed what everyone who has been paying attention already knows. Which is that Trump is the unchallenged, heavyweight champion, “HATE AMERICA” president! When asked about the No Kings rallies, he whined…

Trump: I think it’s a joke. I looked at the people. They are not representative of this country. And I looked at all the brand new signs I guess paid for by Soros and other radical left lunatics. It’s looks like it was. We’re checking it out. The demonstrations were very small, very ineffective. And the people were whacked out.

Trump, who just posted a video of himself literally shitting on the American people, is saying that the #NoKings demonstrations that drew 7 million patriots "were very small, very ineffective. And the people were whacked out."He is the "HATE AMERICA" president!

News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-10-20T10:18:46.986Z

Of course! The rallies were very small. They only drew enough participants to rank as the biggest national protest event in American history. And those seven million people weren’t representative of the country because some of them had “brand new signs” that he said – without proof – were paid for by philanthropist and democracy advocate, George Soros. Which is obviously improper and evidence of something awful. Not to worry though. Trump is “checking it out,” and will surely get to the bottom of it in two weeks or so.

King Trump Craves a ‘Forever’ Shutdown, Whining that ‘You Can’t Make a Deal With These Lunatics’

On October 18, 2025, the American people came out in record numbers to oppose the emerging authoritarian dictatorship of Donald Trump. It was the biggest nationwide protest in the history of the United States. And it affirmed the determination of the people to defend democracy and the constitutional principles upon which the country was founded.

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

King Donald Trump in the Oval Office.

The “No Kings” rallies held in more than 2,700 communities throughout the nation were also a peaceful exhibition of free speech by patriots that Trump’s cult operatives (i.e. Karoline Leavitt and Mike Johnson) and MAGA media (i.e. Fox News and Newsmax) called terrorists, criminals, and members of the imaginary Antifa organization.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Press Secretary and Fox News Go All-In Maligning Democrats as Hamas Terrorists and Antifa

The day after the No Kings rallies, October 19, 2025, Trump sought to shovel his way out of the ditch he had dug himself into. So naturally he booked an interview with Fox News Senior Trump-Fluffer, Maria Bartiromo. They managed to avoid the subject of the massively successful protests the day before, and the GOP’s pathetic attempts to malign them.

Instead, Bartiromo asked Trump about his shutdown of the government that he is trying blame on Democrats. Bartiromo began by asking a surprisingly rational question question. Unfortunately, she didn’t get a remotely rational reply.

Bartiromo: You’re gonna have to compromise around something with healthcare subsidies to end this thing?
Trump: I don’t know. Here’s the problem. They wanna give $1.5 [trillion] … They have a deal. We have a deal. We just want an extension. And the reason we want an extension is because you can’t make a deal with these people. They’re lunatics. They’ve gone crazy. They’re crazed people. Trump Derangement Syndrome. There really is that disease. At first I found it to be amusing. Now I find that it really is.

Trump on the Democrats: "You can't make a deal with these people. They're lunatics. They've gone crazy. They're crazed people. Trump Derangement Syndrome."

The Bulwark (@thebulwark.com) 2025-10-19T15:40:40.392Z

Ironically, the guy who pretends to have written a book titled “The Art of the Deal,” is incapable of actually making one. The extension he’s referring to is one that would allow healthcare subsidies for millions of Americans to expire, doubling or tripling their premiums. And the reason Trump gives for failing to reach a deal is that the Democrats are “lunatics.” Never mind that it is Trump who has refused to negotiate, and his minions in Congress who explicitly admitted that the shutdown is “something that we’ve all always wanted to do.”

In the same interview, Trump embraced a never ending shutdown saying that “I think that they could just stay out forever.” And he salivated at the prospect of terminating programs that benefit poor Americans, saying that the shutdown “gives me the right to cut programs that Republicans never wanted…welfare programs, etc.” It doesn’t. At least no legally.

Trump is bragging that he is going to cut programs that help poor Americans. Which he can't do legally.He is happy to be hurting millions of low income Americans – including Republicans – and is admitting that it is Democrats who really care about the people.

News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-10-19T17:38:27.707Z

Trump’s references to “Trump Derangement Syndrome” actually have a ring of truth to them. He surely does suffer from an acute mental illness that affects his ability to grasp reality. Particularly the reality of how unpopular he and his agenda are. A recent poll found that…

“Seven in ten Americans side with Democrats in saying that Obamacare subsidies should be extended. {Adding that} “A lot more people are blaming the president and congressional Republicans than Democrats. [47% to 30%]”

MORE HERE: Trump Unites America – In Opposition to His Shutdown and His Skyrocketing Healthcare Costs

However, if you are looking for a demonstration of how Trump really feels about the American people, look no further than his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, where he posted this absolutely nauseating AI slop video of himself as a king (of course), flying a jet fighter, and bombing/defecating on citizens exercising their constitutional rights…

Herr Trump posted this AI video that accurately expresses how much he hates the American people and the principles this nation stands for.It is more evidence that he is deranged, infantile, and utterly unfit to serve. How can any patriot support this disgusting behavior?

Lara Trump Attacks the No Kings Movement By Quoting a Fake Trump Truth Social Post on Fox News

As millions of Americans hit the streets for the “No Kings” protest against Donald Trump and his authoritarian aspirations, the Trump regime’s propaganda mouthpieces are taking to the MAGA media to viciously malign these patriotic protesters.

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

Fox News, Lara Trump, My View

The seething hostility of the pro-kings Republican Party has devolved entirely into a blatantly anti-American faction of fascists and frothing followers of the festering Trump cult. Their attempts at disparaging the democracy loving protesters has sunk to noxious lows wherein they repeatedly slander the No Kings events as “hate rallies” and baselessly accuse the peaceful participants of being terrorist sympathizers and criminals.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Press Secretary and Fox News Go All-In Maligning Democrats as Hamas Terrorists and Antifa

Naturally, Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, is contributing to the contemptuous caterwauling. Everyone from Sean Hannity to Jesse Watters to Laura Ingraham to the “Curvy Couch” potatoes of Fox and Friends, are lashing out with snarling invectives. And among them is Fox News host, and Trump’s own daughter-in-lawlessness, Lara Trump, who told her pals at Fox and Friends that…

“It should surprise absolutely nobody that the same group who doesn’t understand the meaning of fascism and also can’t define what a woman is, doesn’t understand what a king is…It feels like so many of these people don’t know what to do with themselves….So I guess their response is to get out in the streets and protest it. The best response I’ve seen thus far came from president Trump himself.”

Whereupon Lara read what she said were Daddy Trump’s own words responding to the first No Kings rally last June. Reading from her notes, Lara recited the following…

“A HUGE THANK YOU to all the ‘No Kings’ protesters yesterday! I was very concerned a king was trying to take my place, but thanks to your tireless efforts, I am STILL YOUR PRESIDENT! Great job all!!!”

There’s just one little problem with that. Trump never posted that comment or said those words. It was a fake meme that circulated on Twitter after the June No Kings rallies that drew over five million people. But Lara is so stupid that she doesn’t know the real quotes of her pappy-in-law from the phonies.

However, Lara isn’t alone. Last June after the first No Kings rallies, Fox News Senior Trump-Fluffer, Maria Bartiromo, made the same mistake. During an interview with GOP Rep. Dan Crenshaw, Bartiromo quoted the same fake Trump post as if were real. Maybe that’s where Lara got it from. After all, that’s where Donald gets all of his fake news from. And they all better start to pay attention to these No Kings events. Because they are drawing historic crowds, and…

Political science research has quantified that when a mere 3.5 percent of a nation’s population mobilizes in peaceful protest, it becomes nearly impossible for the government to ignore the people’s demands.”

On a lighter note, the Daily Show put together a montage of MAGA minions, including Donald Trump, expressing their disgust at anyone who would insult the American people as viciously as Trump’s Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, did recently. Just because they were exercising their free speech rights under the Constitution’s First Amendment.

Wow, Republicans are outraged at Karoline Leavitt calling half the country d?e?p?l?o?r?a?b?l?e?s? terrorists

Crybaby Trump Whines – aka Lies – that His Judicial and Legal Nominees Aren’t Being Confirmed

The Complainer-in-Chief, Donald Trump, is at it again. Never mind that the United States government is in the midst of another Trump Shutdown. Or that Trump’s inflationary tariffs continue to raise the cost of living for the American people. Or that Trump’s ICE thugs are invading cities and harassing citizens across the country. Or that Trump’s “Justice” Department is persecuting his political foes and the press. Trump is too busy bellyaching about his own perceived victimhood to worry about any of that.

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

Donald Trump Pacifier Fox

None of this should come as a surprise to anyone who has been paying attention. After all, Trump himself told us years ago that he is “the most fabulous whiner.” No, really. He literally said that he whines until he gets what he wants. And it may be one of the few times that we can actually believe him…

SEE THIS: Victim-in-Chief: Trump is the most Cowardly, Whining, Crybaby to Ever Be President

The latest demonstration of Trump’s distemperment came in a comment posted to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. He is apparently very disturbed by what he says as the failure of Congress to confirm his judicial and attorney nominees. Specifically, he is upset at the Democrats who have legitimate reasons to oppose them. Trump lashed out saying that…

A ‘Blue Slip’ means that if you’re a Republican President, and there happens to be just one Democrat Senator in a state where you are appointing a U.S. Attorney or District Court Judge, you will never be successful in getting a Republican confirmed. In other words, ‘Blue Slips’ are a disaster, and I have eight GREAT Republican U.S. Attorney Candidates who will not be able to fulfill their service to the people of a state that voted overwhelmingly for me. The only one I can appoint is a Democrat, and that’s not the deal. Nobody can say that is fair or, even, Constitutional. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DJT.”

There’s a lot wrong with that pitiful rant. Overall, Trump’s core complaints are two-fold. 1) that he can “never be successful” in getting his nominees confirmed. And 2) that it’s all the fault of Democrats. However, both of those gripes are false.

First of all, Trump’s complaint about judges not being confirmed doesn’t comport with reality. Here are the facts. He had 174 judges confirmed in his first term. He has six confirmed so far in his current term. He currently has 14 nominees pending. However, none of them are in states with a Democratic senator. Therefore, there are no “Blue Slips” to contend with. So if his judges aren’t being confirmed, there are other reasons.

Trump then complains about his U.S. Attorney nominees who aren’t being confirmed. Blue Slips are not a part of the process for that job. So, once again, they are not the reason that his nominees have stalled. The facts are that he has already had 19 confirmed. Part of the problem here is that Trump keeps appointing people on an interim basis, and then trying to make them formal nominees. But there are laws that regulate the circumstances under which that is permitted. And Trump doesn’t understand those laws, or care about them.

So Trump’s problems with both his judges and U.S. attorneys are purely of his own making. But rather than acknowledge his ignorance and incompetence, he is resorting to his favorite reaction: Whining and trying to shift the blame for his failures unto others. And this is the “leader” that MAGA thinks is so strong and powerful? Yeah, right!

Trump’s Press Secretary and Fox News Go All-In Maligning Democrats as Hamas Terrorists and Antifa

The Olympic-grade hypocrisy of Donald Trump and his servile Republican Party has already proven to be unmatched for outrageous hyperbole and dangerously reckless rhetoric aimed at inciting fear, hatred, and, yes, violence. It is a daily ritual for the MAGA cult to be baptized in the toxicity of the far-right’s neo-fascism.

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

Donald Trump and Karoline Leavitt

So, true to form, the spokesperson for the MAGAtist-In-Chief, Karoline Leavitt, upped the ante on Thursday morning during yet another interview on Fox News. Like so many of Trump’s Cabinet members, she seems to make more appearances there than she does in the White House Press Room. And on this occasion she was loaded for bear. Even more than usual.

SEE THIS: Trump Cult Priestess, Karoline Leavitt, Preaches the Divine Infallibility of Dear Leader

Leavitt was taking questions from Fox News while the government was in the midst of the third week of the Trump Shutdown. Which has been going very badly for the administration whose excuses were falling flat with the American people who knew better than to believe Trump and Company. Consequently, she desperately needed a distraction. And what she chose was this bit of vile defamation…

“The Democrat Party’s main constituency are made up of Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens, and violent criminals. That is who the Democrat Party is catering to. Not the Trump administration, and not the White House, and not the Republican Party, who is standing up for law abiding Americans, not just across the country, but around the world.”

Leavitt: "The Democrat Party's main constituency is made up of Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens, and violent criminals."

Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-10-16T17:09:37.030Z

Note that Leavitt isn’t merely accusing Democratic leaders or politicians or media of being terrorists and criminals, as the MAGA Klan often do. Nope. Now she is accusing their constituents. Which means Democratic voters. That’s at least half the country. It’s a major escalation of hostilities by the Trump regime.

What’s more, Leavitt couldn’t be more mistaken in her maliciousness. After all, it’s Trump who is the criminal with 34 felony convictions. He is the one who pardoned hundreds of rioters who stormed the Capitol and assaulted cops. He has supported the terrorist actions of Vladimir Putin against civilians in Ukraine, and Benjamin Netanyahu’s genocide in Gaza. He directs his own terrorist actions against potentially innocent fishermen in the Caribbean. Not to mention his hostile invasions of U.S. cities with military troops. Yet Trump et al project their own malfeasance onto their enemies.

MORE HERE: Republican Leaders Call Millions of Americans Who Support the ‘No Kings’ Protests ‘Terrorists’

As for “standing up for law abiding Americans,” Trump has issued pardons for his friends, and convicted criminals, such as Steve Bannon, Roger Stone, Peter Navarro, and many more. And it is Trump who continues to cover up for his pedo-pal, Jeffrey Epstein. An aversion to being law abiding seems to be a prerequisite for entry into Trump’s inner circle.

Meanwhile, Leavitt is also promoting a Fox News smear campaign involving the nonexistent organization, Antifa, which the Trump regime has tried to link to Democrats. A story by Fox News asserts that Trump’s “Justice” Department has filed its first charges against alleged Antifa conspirators, saying that…

“A federal grand jury indicted two alleged Antifa members with terrorism-related charges for a July 4 attack on an ICE facility in Texas. […] ‘For the first time ever, the FBI has arrested anarchist violent extremists and charged these Antifa-aligned individuals with material support to terrorism,’ FBI Director Kash Patel said in a statement.”

There’s just one little problem with that. Although the terms “Antifa” and “Antifa Cell” were used repeatedly throughout the Fox News story and the descriptive text of the indictment, and even by Trump’s FBI Director Kash Patel, the word “Antifa” was not mentioned once in the seven actual counts against the defendants. And since there is no such thing as Antifa, it is not surprising that prosecutors could not make legal assertions of membership in an imaginary group.

This is how Trump and his MAGA cohorts are “toning down the rhetoric” that they pretend to believe is so divisive and dangerous. To they contrary, they have been the worst practitioners of vicious invectives to stir up trouble. They know what they’re doing and what the consequences are. They just simply don’t care.

Fox News Lies Fuel the Trump Regime’s Efforts to Blame Democrats and Migrants for the Shutdown

It’s Day 15 of the Trump Shutdown and there is still no discernable exit scenario. Republicans continue to insist that they have nothing to negotiate. Democrats remain steadfastly committed to preventing the healthcare costs for millions of Americans from doubling.

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

Donald Trump and Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt

So naturally it’s time for Donald Trump and his minions to look to their Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, for support to bolster their faltering campaign to strangle the life out of the government that they despise and to avoid opening it up to serve the people, and perhaps, hold a vote on the issue that most terrifies Trump: releasing the Epstein files.

SEE THIS: Trump Unites America – In Opposition to His Shutdown and His Skyrocketing Healthcare Costs

On Wednesday morning, Trump’s Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, joined in on the lies that Democrats want to keep the government shutdown in order to give free healthcare to illegals aliens. But her “proof” of that is a story by Fox News that completely fails to validate the charge – even when it isn’t spreading flagrant falsehoods. The article published by Fox News leads off saying that…

“EXCLUSIVE: The White House unveiled a number of criminal illegal migrants who received Medicaid as the Senate remains in gridlock over the government shutdown. Fox News Digital obtained detailed information surrounding the arrests of 49 illegal migrants, who have all been deported under the Trump administration, who were arrested for an array of crimes that occurred in the U.S. […] Republicans argue that ‘more than 1 million illegal aliens’ receive Medicaid under the previously existing program that was revised under Trump’s landmark bill.”

Nowhere in the Fox News article that Leavitt cited is there any documentation of the alleged “criminal illegal migrants who received Medicaid.” And even if there were documentation, finding 49 out of a million is hardly evidence of a crisis. It’s barely a rounding error.

The Fox News article concedes that “federal law prohibits undocumented individuals from obtaining Medicaid.” Which is a point that Democrats have been making all along. The article even acknowledges that “A White House official explained that illegal migrants could obtain Medicaid through different means, but, specifically, emergency care.” And emergency care is mandated by the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA), a law that was signed by President Ronald Reagan in 1986.

The article further stated that “emergency care spending on those not legally in the U.S. rose from $3 billion to $9 billion under President Joe Biden.” Once again, there is nothing validating that claim in the article. So it should come as no surprise that it is a totally false claim. According to KFF Health News

“A new Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report shows a total of $27 billion in federal and state spending on Emergency Medicaid for noncitizen immigrants between fiscal years (FY) 2017 and 2023. […] this spending represents less than 1% of overall spending in Medicaid over the entire time period, and, in some years, is less than half of a percent. Spending on Emergency Medicaid was $3.8 billion in FY 2023 and was .4% of total Medicaid spending that year.”

The figures stated above cover most of the Biden presidency and don’t come close to the $9 billion stated by Fox News. What’s more, those CBO numbers are for all immigrants – both legal and otherwise. Which means that the Republican excuse for keeping the Trump Shutdown going is a tiny fraction of federal funds for emergency care that has been mandated by law for forty years.

The real reason that Trump and Republicans are deliberately prolonging the shutdown is, of course, their determination to shutter dozens of critical government agencies, fire thousands of federal employees, and reform American democracy into an autocracy that is ruled by Dear Leader Trump. It’s a model of totalitarian takeover that Trump has borrowed from his idols, Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Kim Jong Un. It’s dangerous, and treasonous, and he must not be allowed to succeed. Because in America we have NO KINGS! Be there.

Trump’s Secretary of War on the Press, Pete Hegseth, Is Rebuked By the Media He’s Trying to Censor

The most anti-free press regime in American history, led by Donald “The Media is the Enemy of the People” Trump, is once again proving how out of touch it is with the principles of the Constitution and its First Amendment prohibition against “abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press.”

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

Pete Hegseth with Drunk Emoji

When Donald Trump made Pete Hegseth his Secretary of “War,” he was installing a flunky who he knew would obey his every command, no matter how averse to the law or morality. And Hegseth proved his fealty to Trump last month when he issued a decree demanding that the press must swear a Trumpian loyalty oath before being allowed access to the Pentagon or to military leaders who work for the American people. It was such a repugnant proposal that even Trump was against it when he first heard about it.

SEE THIS: Trump Smacks Down His Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Over His Loyalty Pledge on the Free Press

Of course, Trump, in his perpetual state of ignorance and/or dementia, likely had no idea what the new rules imposed by Hegseth meant. But they were consistent with his twisted mindset, believing that he can dictate what the media reports about him. The mandate that Hegseth imposed on the press forbids them to do any investigative reporting, interviewing, or to publish any stories that haven’t been pre-approved by Hegseth’s Pentagon overlords.

Under this decree, reporters would be required to have an approved Pentagon escort when in the building. And should they refuse to sign the oath, they risk losing their press credentials. Hegseth claimed that the new rules boiled down to three tenets:

  • The press no longer roams free. Hegseth’s explicit dismissal of the free press.
  • The press must wear visible badges. Unlike Trump’s badgeless, masked ICE thugs.
  • Credentialed press is no longer permitted to solicit criminal acts. Which they have never been permitted to do.

When a government agency threatens to revoke the credentials of news organizations that don’t obey their edicts, you don’t have a free press. You have a fascist dictatorship that obviously has some very troubling things to hide. Consequently, Hegseth’s decree was roundly rejected. Several major news outlets condemned the new rules and refused to sign. They include ABC News, CBS News, CNN, NBC News, Associated Press, the New York Times, the Washington Post, Reuters, The Atlantic, and NPR.

Even the ultra-MAGA outlets Newsmax and the Washington Times declined to sign. The shamelessly Trump-fluffing One America News Network (OAN) is the only outlet that, so far, has agreed to go along with Hegseth’s Hegemony. And surprisingly, Fox News, Hegseth’s previous employer, was one of those that would not sign on. That’s gotta sting. In a joint statement, the resisting media said that…

“Today, we join virtually every other news organization in declining to agree to the Pentagon’s new requirements, which would restrict journalists’ ability to keep the nation and the world informed of important national security issues.

“The policy is without precedent and threatens core journalistic protections. We will continue to cover the U.S. military as each of our organizations has done for many decades, upholding the principles of a free and independent press.”

It will be interesting to see if Hegseth and the Pentagon stick to this censorious initiative. Or if Trump bothers to weigh in. In the meantime, they have affirmed just how much they despise the free press. And considering everything they have to hide – including Trump’s lawlessness, his administration’s massively unpopular agenda, and of course, the infamous Jeffrey Epstein files – it’s no wonder they hate even the thought of a free press.

Trump Blasts the Former Presidents Who ‘Strangled’ Middle East Peace – Which Includes Himself

There are good reasons to be grateful today for the freedom of the 20 remaining living hostages taken by Hamas two years ago. The October 7 slaughter that Hamas conducted at a music festival in Israel was unthinkably repugnant. And the hostage taking was cruel and unforgivable.

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

Donald Trump

While it may be a joyous day for the freed hostages and their families, we cannot forget the horror of the past that resulted in the deaths of so many innocent people. And that includes the tens of thousands of Palestinians is Gaza who were not combatants and had no part in the atrocities of Hamas.

On this day we are thankful that some of the victims have been returned. But we must also remain committed to preventing any such event from occurring in the future. And with regard to that, we must recognize that Donald Trump is not helping matters. He is not a hero or a peace activist. To the contrary, he has exacerbated the problem with his vile rhetoric and his exploitation of events to glorify himself.

SEE THIS: By Trump’s Deranged Logic the U.S. Should Takeover Israel and Relocate All of its Residents

For instance, in the address he gave before the Israeli Knesset, Trump frequently wandered off into shameless praising of himself for making America “the hottest country anywhere in the world.” Which has nothing to do with the situation in the Middle East. But even worse, he sought to heap all the credit on the “peace” deal onto himself, saying that…

“What we’re doing now, it could’ve happened a long time ago, but it was strangled and set back almost irretrievably by the administrations of Barack Obama and then Joe Biden. There was a hatred toward Israel.”

Trump: "What we're doing now, it could've happened a long time ago, but it was strangled and set back almost irretrievably by the administrations of Barack Obama and then Joe Biden. There was a hatred toward Israel."

Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-10-13T12:11:09.315Z

REALLY? In Trump’s revisionist history, only former presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden were responsible for failing to achieve peace in the Middle East. However, he left out another president who served in between those two. His name was Donald Trump. So why didn’t Trump get a peace deal four years ago if it was so easy? Was it because he has a “hatred toward Israel”?

It should also be noted that the deal Trump claims credit for now was fundamentally the same as one that Biden had proposed in May of 2024. It contained the same three phases, hostage releases, and plans for governing of Gaza. Israeli president Benjamin Netanyahu nixed that deal under pressure from his far-right legislators. He may also have had an incentive to prevent Biden from getting any credit, in order to help Trump win the 2024 election, and then agree to essentially the same plan, but attaching Trump’s name to it.

So while we rejoice in the good news about the freed Israelis who have suffered for so long, let’s also keep in mind that the sort of ignorance, dishonesty, hostility, and incompetence, that is part and parcel of the character of Trump, has caused more suffering than it has resolved. And if we are to progress as a nation, and a leader in the world community, we must not allow villains like Trump to come to power just so they can abuse it.

Trump Derangement Surfaces in Two Truth Social Posts that Are Utterly Insane (More than Usual)

Anyone who has been paying attention is well aware of the cognitive dysfunction of Donald Trump. His incoherent responses to simple questions, and the rambling oratories such as those he delivered at the United Nations and the Navy anniversary event, would be enough to commit an ordinary person to an institution.

Donald Trump, Padded Cell

Trump manages to turn every public comment or address into a pleading for adoration, a blathering expression of victimhood, or a vicious attack on his many perceived enemies. He spent the week prior to the announcement of the Nobel Peace Prize lobbying for himself to receive the honor. Never mind that the reasons against it are too numerous to list in full.

SEE THIS: Fox News Lunacy: There’s ‘Universal Agreement’ on this Show for Trump to Get a Nobel Peace Prize

On Sunday morning Trump took to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, to provide additional proof (as if it were necessary) of his rapidly declining mental acuity. They were the sort of outbursts that one might expect to come from a man on a street corner shouting at cars about the end of the world. Trump began with a pre-dawn diatribe lashing out at…well, as it turns out, himself:

“THE BIDEN FBI PLACED 274 AGENTS INTO THE CROWD ON JANUARY 6. If this is so, which it is, a lot of very good people will be owed big apologies. What a SCAM – DO SOMETHING!!! President DJT”

The first problem with that rant is that on January 6, 2021, Trump was still president. Joe Biden was not inaugurated until January 20. So it was Trump’s FBI, including the Bureau’s director, Christopher Wray, whom he appointed three and half years prior, that would have placed any agents in the crowd of insurrectionists.

What’s more, the story that Trump is telling has already been debunked by his own current FBI director, Kash Patel. Trump raised this issue last month after reading a story about it in the ultra-rightist rag, “The Blaze.” He alleged that the FBI agents were “acting as Agitators and Insurrectionists.” But that was after Patel had told Fox News that “While the agents were on hand, they were sent in after the riot had begun to try to control the unruly crowd.”

If it isn’t bad enough that Trump has apparently forgotten when he was president, his other comment on Sunday morning exposed another fallacious framing of reality. He raged that

“The Ukraine Impeachment (of me!) Scam was a far bigger Illegal Hoax than Watergate. I sincerely hope the necessary authorities, including CONGRESS, are looking into this! Adam ‘Schiffty’ Schiff was sooo dishonest and corrupt. So many laws, and protocols, were violated, and just plain broken!!! President DJT”

REALLY? Trump is now asserting that Watergate – the well documented scandal that led to the resignation of Richard Nixon, and the conviction of 48 of his White House staffers, including his Chief of Staff and Attorney General – was an “illegal Hoax.” That’s a new angle for Trump. Although he might want to reconsider associating his own impeachable offenses with Watergate. Because if Watergate was not a hoax, which it wasn’t, then neither is Trump’s impeachment.

Trump went on to make another wholly unfounded accusation against Sen. Adam Schiff. As in the past, Trump neglects to offer any evidence of the dishonesty or corruption that he alleges. However, Sen. Schiff was one of three persons on Trump’s enemies list that he recently ordered his Attorney Genuflect, Pam Bondi, to prosecute. And two of them, New York Attorney General Letitia James and former FBI director James Comey, have been indicted. So is Sen. Schiff next?

At any other time in America’s history, the behavior that Trump exhibits would result in impeachment or invocation of the Constitution’s 25th Amendment to remove him from office. He would already have been committed to an institution. The only question would be whether that would be a penal or mental institution. Perhaps the prison’s mental ward would be the best option.

HUH? Trump Promises to Work with ‘Radical Left Democrats’ on ‘the Things They Want to Destroy’

The Trump Shutdown is now ten days old, and there is no hint of any resolution on the horizon. What there is are incessant lies by Donald Trump and his MAGA cronies who are trying to blame the shutdown on Democrats who have no control over any branch of the government.

Donald Trump WTF

The only reason that the shutdown continues is that Republicans have steadfastly refused to engage in any negotiations with Democrats. That’s because 1) Republicans are terrified of the prospect of having to vote on releasing the Trump-riddled Epstein files, and 2) the GOP is dead set against allowing any compromise that would prevent healthcare costs from skyrocketing as a result of their brutal funding cuts and hatred of migrants, and the thought that they might receive life-saving care in an emergency.

SEE THIS: Trump Unites America – In Opposition to His Shutdown and His Skyrocketing Healthcare Costs

That’s why after a week and a half Trump is posting bizarre rants on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, seeking to shift blame for the shutdown on Democrats. Like his arguments on almost any subject, they are entirely devoid of logic, which he replaces with anger and insults. On Saturday morning he raged that…

“Chuck Schumer recently said, ‘Every day gets better’ during their Radical Left Shutdown. I DISAGREE! If nothing is done, because of ‘Leader’ Chuck Schumer and the Democrats, our Brave Troops will miss the paychecks they are rightfully due on October 15th. […] The Radical Left Democrats should OPEN THE GOVERNMENT, and then we can work together to address Healthcare, and many other things that they want to destroy.”

Of course, Trump is being deliberately dishonest with his reference to Schumer saying “Every day gets better.” Schumer was explicitly referring to the fact that the public is increasingly siding with Democrats against Trump and the GOP. The people recognize that it is the responsibility of the majority party in Congress to shape a compromise on a budget bill that will pass. Democrats have no power to do that.

Trump puts a spotlight on the Republicans’ refusal to negotiate by adding that he is only willing to “work together” with the “Radical Left Democrats” on “things that they want to destroy.” WTF does that even mean? Is Trump saying that he is amenable to destroying things in concert with Democrats? Why would he do that? Democrats, of course, don’t want to do that.

This is entirely a Trump thing, It’s obvious that he is just spewing noxious nonsense as a way of avoiding doing the work that the people expect from a president and their representatives in Congress. And contrary to Trump’s limp demand, Democrats cannot “OPEN THE GOVERNMENT.” Especially when the Republican leaders in Congress refuse to even come to work.

Trump also said that he’s directing his Secretary of “War,” Pete Hegseth, to “use all available funds to get our Troops PAID.” But he doesn’t say from where he would get these funds during a government shutdown. He also accuses Democrats of holding the nation hostage, which is, of course, what Trump and the GOP are doing. But at least he admits that the shutdown is “dangerous.” Previously he has been celebrating it as an opportunity to fire government workers. But only the Democratic ones.

It’s telling that the guy who pretends to have written a book on “The Art of the Deal,” is so pathetically incapable of making any deals. If Trump thinks that insulting Democrats as “radical,” and offering to work with them to “destroy” things is going to lead to them making a deal, he is even more deranged that we thought. And that’s really saying something.
