UH-OH! Trump’s Economic Advisor Forgets to Blame Biden for Trump’s Latest Rise in Inflation

One of the most prominent promises made by Donald Trump during his 2024 campaign to reoccupy the White House was that he would bring consumer prices down. He swore that he would do that on day one, and that it would be easy. We are now at day 632, and things have only gotten worse.

The American people are well aware of Trump’s failures with regard to the economy. Despite his lying about this being the “Golden Age,” people know what their groceries cost, and their gas, and their healthcare, and their housing, etc. Trump’s deceit and uncaring attitude are among the primary reasons that he is floundering at record lows for job approval.

SEE THIS: HOW CONVENIENT! Trump Says the Iran War and High Gas Prices Will End – Right After the Elections?

Most experts agree that the dismal economy we are suffering through are due to Trump’s neglect, incompetence, and ego. The war he started against Iran has resulted in higher costs for energy. His ridiculous, unwarranted tariffs account for the rise in virtually everything else. But in Trump’s twisted mind, and the minds of his MAGA-pologists, President Biden – who left office nearly two years ago – is the culprit who caused the fiscal fiasco that has plagued the Trump years.

Political observers have wondered when the timeline would flip from the seemingly endless Biden Effect, to one where Trump actually takes responsibility for his own mistakes and misdeeds. Well, we might be getting close to that now. In an interview on Fox News Wednesday morning, the chairman of Trump’s Council of Economic Advisors, Kevin Hassett, had the following exchange with Fox’s Stuart Varney…

Varney: We got the last Consumer Price Index report before the midterms. In September price is up 0.6%. Moved up a bit, a bit hotter, 3.7% over the last year. Here’s what Kevin Hassett had to say about it this morning.
Hassett: Because the Houties started attacking the Saudi pipeline. And other Iranian proxies from Iraq were attacking refineries and so on. That we had a negative shock to energy again in September. But inside the topline number there’s a lot of good news. [Insert a bunch of Hassett lies] If you look at core inflation, it was basically at the Fed’s target on average over the last three months. But this month was a blip up.

Top Trump econ advisor claims today's high inflation report was a "blip"

— FactPost (@factpostnews.bsky.social) 2026-10-14T15:53:19.076038849Z

This may be the first time that Hassett has ever answered a question about Trump’s poor performance that didn’t begin with “But Biden…” In fact, the reasons that he does cite are all problems of Trump’s making. It was Trump’s reckless and illegal attack on Iran that led to associated battles in the region with the Houties, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq. And the targeting of oil refineries was a possibility that a competent leader would have prepared for.

What’s more, the Federal Reserve’s target for inflation is 2.0%, way below the 3.7% that Hassett is preposterously calling a blip. At least he didn’t blame Biden again. But has he finally recognized how ridiculous that is? Or did he just forget?

While it’s a welcome relief that Hassett didn’t push to blame Biden again, he still tried to downplay any notion that the economy is troubled. But how could he? Trump would have his head. After all, here is what Trump said about the rise in inflation…

Question: Are you concerned about the latest inflation number?
Trump: No, I love it. The numbers were great. I love the inflation.

Q: Are you concerned about the latest inflation number?Trump: No, I love it. The numbers were great. I love the inflation.

— FactPost (@factpostnews.bsky.social) 2026-10-14T18:34:08.197711334Z

Trump has expressed his love for inflation before. It’s just another indicator of how out of touch he is with ordinary people. And for the record, the video here was cut off right before he explained why he loves inflation. Here is what he said…

“Because as soon as this war is over. You know, I can say it now, something you didn’t know. Did you know we’ve been taking out millions of barrels of oil? Nobody knows it.”

HUH? So Trump loves inflation because he’s going to steal Iran’s oil when the war is over? That war, which he said would only last a few weeks, is now in its eighth month. Does he think that the American people love inflation for that period of time, and who knows how much longer?

Furthermore, everybody knows about Trump’s stated intention to steal Iran’s oil. He has said it repeatedly in public. He brags about it saying that “to the victor goes the spoils.” The only problem is that Trump is losing. And therefore, unfortunately, so are the American people. And they know that Trump and his MAGA Republican enablers are solely to blame.

Trump’s New Propaganda Secretary, Katie Zacharia, Has Already Broken the Law

It didn’t take long for the new White House press secretary to demonstrate that she is closely aligned with the values – or lack thereof – of Donald Trump. When the current occupant of the White House is a convicted felon who shows zero respect for the law, then should we expect any of his flunkies be any different?

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

Donald Trump, Katie Zacharia

Which brings us to Katie Zacharia, Trump’s replacement for his previous official liar, Karoline Leavitt. On Tuesday Zacharia made her premiere performance in the White House press room. And it was something less than adequate by historical standards, but precisely what one would expect from a Trump appointee.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Next Propaganda Secretary, Katie Zacharia, Has All the Non-Qualifications He Craves

Zacharia’s debut in the White House press room (video below) featured her reading extraordinarily poorly from a prepared statement. Her presentation skills were surprisingly bad considering that she has had plenty of public speaking experience as a frequent guest on MAGA media such as Fox News and Newsmax. Yet she still managed to screw up like an amateur, and even violated the law.

In the course of her opening remarks, Zacharia gushed over how thrilled she was to be joining the Trump administration “as we are in the middle of a midterm blitz with energy and excitement never seen before in the history of midterms thanks to president Trump.” So Zacharia is already parroting Trump’s speaking style with hyperbolic phrasing like “never seen before in history.” But more to the point, her remarks on Trump’s “midterm blitz” were brazenly political and a clear violation of the Hatch Act that prohibits partisan political activity by executive branch employees at the White House.

Of course, nothing will come of this since Trump’s Attorney Genuflect, Todd Blanche, is also a crooked Trumpist. Zacharia went on to lie shamelessly, saying that Trump’s recent cult rallies have had “record high” attendance, and that the nation is enjoying a “booming economy.” Both of which are flagrantly false.

Zacharia began her briefing by telling the gathered reporters that she is honored to be working for Trump, and that she has “wanted to work for him a very long time.” She must have forgotten that she already worked briefly in the Trump administration as the primary spokeswoman for the Homeland Security Department. She was also the senior communications advisor at Trump’s failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social.

What’s more, Zacharia noted how honored she was to be working for Trump. Really? He is an alleged pedophile who is all over the Epstein files, that he refuses to release. And a convicted felon. And who has started unprovoked wars. And who cozies up to brutal dictators. And he is a racist, and a misogynist, and a pathological liar, and a malignant narcissist. What part of that makes Zacharia proud?

That introduction was followed by the question and answer period. It lasted a mere 14 minutes and included only three questions that she didn’t actually answer. The questions came entirely from right-wing “reporters” from Fox News, Breitbart, and Daily Mail. So Zacharia seems to be fitting in well with the radical, right-wing, unqualified collection of Trump staffers that includes Pete Hegseth, Robert Kennedy Jr, Markwayne Mullin, and the rest.

However, even in that group Zacharia stands out for her incompetence. Let’s see how long she lasts.

BEYOND PARODY: Fox News Fawns Over Trump as ‘What a Hardworking President Looks Like’

With just three weeks left until the midterm elections, Donald Trump is ramping up the crazy on his Midterm Desperation Tour. In the futile hopes of turning around his abysmally low approval ratings he is performing his traveling salvation show for his glassy-eyed MAGA cult followers to try to boost their slacking enthusiasm to vote.

Donald Trump Sleeping - ZZZ

Having promised to campaign throughout the month of October, instead of carrying out his presidential duties (which may be a blessing), Trump is taking Natalie Harp and the rest of his entourage to mostly solid red states to put the finishing touches on destroying what remains of the Republican Party. Although he isn’t getting much of a reception from voters or even his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News…

SEE THIS: Crybaby Trump Blasts Fox News for Not Airing His Pitiful Campaign Cult Rallies Live

On Monday morning the “Curvy Couch” potatoes of Fox and Friends delivered their usual brand of Trump-fluffing. In a segment intended to praise his diligence and stamina, co-hosts Charlie Hurt and Rachel Campos-Duffy (wife of Trump’s Transportation Secretary, Sean Duffy) engaged in the following exalting exchange…

Campos-Duffy: He’s acting like he’s on the ballot. He is campaigning so hard. He has not stopped. And that is something that I think when all of this is said and done, when his term is over, we are gonna miss what a hardworking president looks like because I don’t think we’ll ever see anyone work as hard as that man.

Hurt: But, you know, obviously, the the headwinds are very much going against Republicans just because of the nature of politics. […] And what’s significant about that is what was the Democrat response to it? You would think the Democrat response to that would be to moderate and become and try to get those working class voters back to their side of the aisle, but that’s not what they did. They took off and went crazy

Oh yeah. Trump is a veritable bullet train streaking across the nation. After all, it takes a lot of work to fall asleep in public at virtually every event where he appears. And the results of Trump’s hard work are evident in the gleaming gold filigree plastered all over the White House. Never mind that he has been utterly incompetent with regard to the one-week war he started against Iran that is now in its eighth month. Or the wrecked economy that has Americans paying more for everything from gas, to groceries, to healthcare, to housing, and more.

As for the response from Democrats, they really “took off and went crazy” with their radical, lunatic ideas about lowering the cost of living, providing healthcare, holding corrupt politicians accountable, and preserving democracy. Who would want any of that?

Meanwhile, Trump is busy with his primary function: Posting idiotic memes on his failing propaganda platform, Truth Social. For instance this one about Denzel Washington…

Trump Sics His ‘Justice’ Dept on the TV Networks He Banned for Defending the First Amendment

Last month Donald Trump declared that he was banning CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from certain presidential press events because their truthful reporting about him hurt his tender feelings. It was a brazenly anti-constitutional assault on the First Amendment and a breach of his oath of office.

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

Donald Trump and Media - ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, FOX

While Trump is addicted to press coverage that makes him the perpetual center of attention, he cannot tolerate any reporting that is less than worshipful. Following his media ban, Trump doubled down by insisting that it was justified because the “fake” news was a “threat to national security.”

SEE THIS: Trump Says He Banned the Media Because it is a ‘Threat to National Security and Must Be Stopped’

Trump’s ban was immediately challenged in court. The case is still proceeding, but the judge, a Trump appointee, has issued a temporary restraining order to block Trump from executing the ban, which he said was “likely unconstitutional.”

In the meantime, Trump is now directing his “Justice” Department – led by his criminal defense lawyer, Attorney Genuflect Todd Blanche – to investigate the five television news networks that provide pool coverage of the president for agreeing to suspend coverage of Trump’s events until he rescinded the ban. As reported by the New York Times…

“Major TV networks were notified on Friday that the department was examining whether they violated antitrust laws when they suspended pool coverage of President Trump.”

“The Justice Department is investigating whether the major television networks — ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC and Fox News — violated federal antitrust laws when the group briefly suspended their pooled coverage of President Trump, according to six people with knowledge of the department’s action.

“Officials from the Justice Department contacted networks on Friday and demanded communications and materials related to the White House TV pool, the people said.”

The allegation that these networks engaged in antitrust activity is beyond merely unwarranted government harassment, it has no basis in the law. Antitrust laws are intended to address collusion between corporate entities that seek to stifle competition for their own financial benefit. They have no role in regulating the media to inhibit the free press or political speech. In short, the purpose of antitrust law is to protect consumers from commercial abuse, not politicians from the exercise of First Amendment rights.

Trump’s exploitation of the power of the presidency to attack the media is nothing new. He is by far the most media averse president in American history. He frequently refers to the media in Stalinist terms as “the enemy of the people.” And he maligns them as “treasonous sleazebags.” He has filed dozens of civil lawsuits aimed at supressing journalists for honest reporting. And he has viciously attacked the media when it dared to be critical of him.

For instance, Trump recently blasted his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News for not covering his cult rallies live. He directed his FCC boss (Fascist Communications Czar) to look into “fake” Polls. He reported the Meet the Press host to his FCC for “punishment.” And there’s much more where that came from.

Trump has lost virtually every legal attack he has made against the media when the media had the courage to fight back. And he is not likely to get anywhere with this ludicrous antitrust investigation. But that won’t stop him from trying. He truly believes that he is a beloved leader that can do no wrong. And while the vast majority of the American people disagree, his pitifully gullible cult disciples keep reinforcing his delusions.

Trump Praised a Clip From CNN (Fake News?) That He Played at His Rally – Here’s What He Left Out

For several months the polls for the upcoming midterm election have been showing signs of a massive Blue Tsunami that is predicted to flush out the Republican majorities in Congress. And as election day draws closer, the polls have only gotten worse for Donald Trump and his MAGA Party.

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

Donald Trump, CNN

As Trump and the GOP candidates he has endorsed flounder, Trump manages to retain his confidence that the only problem with the election is that the public hasn’t seen enough of Trump. Consequently, he has pledged to abandon his presidential duties and devote himself to rescuing his party. Although many of them are asking him not to bother. So he has narrowed his itinerary to mostly solid red states.

SEE THIS: GOOD NEWS: Trump Will Be Campaigning for Republicans ‘Every Single Day’ Until the Election

On Friday Trump took his red eye rally express to Syracuse, New York. And while there he thought it would be a good idea to play a deceitfully edited video of something he saw on CNN. Not only was this video from a network that he despises, but it was on a subject that he insists is totally corrupt: Polling. Nevertheless, Trump introduced the clip saying that…

“I saw a chart, because CNN is very unfriendly territory, they’re fake news, but this time I believe them 100%. Because they did a chart, and I respect them for putting it up, but they did a couple of very important charts.”

Whereupon Trump played the video of CNN’s data analyst, Harry Enten, saying that…

“MAGA GOP on Trump in the 2024 election versus Kamala Harris he got 99% of the MAGA GOP vote. But surprisingly. I might have thought it would be 100%. But it was 99%. Compare that to his approval rating now with the MAGA GOP. It’s 98%. That is, there has been no real decline in MAGA support.”

Enten concluded that Trump’s support among the MAGA GOP is “really holding up strong.” And why not? IT’S A CULT! However, what Trump didn’t play for his cult rally devotees was the remainder of the CNN segment where Enten revealed that only 50-60% of Republicans identify as MAGA. Which means that, since only 28% of U.S. adults identify directly as Republicans, MAGA is only about 14-17% of the electorate.

Enten went on to note what he called a “troubling sign for Republicans,” that Trump’s approval among all Republicans declined by 14 points (from 94% to 80%) since 2024. And those Republicans who strongly approved of Trump declined by 24 points (from 71% to 47%, less than half) since the beginning of 2025.

It is so monumentally hypocritical and dishonest for Trump to brag about CNN’s reporting, when he only shows a small piece of it. The rest of the segment showed how dismal Trump’s standing is with the Republican Party and the American people. He left all of that out. And he calls CNN fake news?

It’s kind of funny that Trump is embracing something that he saw on CNN, a network that he relentlessly accuses of being treasonous Even worse, it’s one of the networks that he has actually banned from covering him. But now, because he – or more likely someone on his staff (Natalie Harp?) – was able to cherry-pick a few seconds that he thinks makes him look good, he “believes them 100%.”

Trump can do this because he knows that none of his gullible cult disciples will ever see the parts of the video that he cut out. They don’t watch CNN. Furthermore, he knows that his MAGA-tists are going to fawn over whatever he says. And it’s because of them that he thinks he is universally beloved, even though they are a tiny minority. So he runs around the country thinking that his presence will produce a nationwide Republican victory.

Trump may be sorely disappointed when the actual election results come in. And when they do, he will become the lamest of ducks. Although he will still just say the election was rigged. Because he thinks he’s infallible and more popular than Jesus.

Trump’s Next Propaganda Secretary, Katie Zacharia, Has All the Non-Qualifications He Craves

Several weeks ago Donald Trump lost his press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, who resigned to spend more time with Fox News, where she now works. Her departure left a gaping sinkhole in his administration just as he was facing the midterm elections and the Blue Tsunami that is predicted to flush out many Republicans from Congress and leave Democrats with majorities in both chambers.

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

Trump Lies

Leavitt was and is an exemplary disseminator of the same sort of lies and insults for which her boss is infamous. Speculation about her replacement ran the gamut from Trump-fluffers like Ainsley Earhardt of Fox News to Natalie Harp, Trump’s travel companion and security blanket.

SEE THIS: HELP! WANTED? Who Will Trump Get To Lie For Him Now That Karoline Leavitt is Quitting?

Well, now that question may have been answered. There is news from the White House that Trump has offered the press secretary job to Katie Zacharia, an attorney, and legal and political analyst for MAGA media networks, including Fox News, and Newsmax. She also briefly served as a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security.

Trump plucked her out of his Trump Media and Technology Group, where she has been employed as the senior communications advisor to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. So she has had plenty of on the job training for dishonesty, division, and diversion.

Katie Zacharia has been chosen as the new White House Press Secretary.

— FactPost (@factpostnews.bsky.social) 2026-10-09T18:18:01.900954336Z

With that resume, Zacharia meets all of the core criteria that Trump has for his propaganda spokesmodel. She has done time at Fox News. She is a bleached blond. She has experience shamelessly lying with a straight face. She is comfortable making personal attacks. She couldn’t care less about the law or the Constitution. And she is a devoted MAGA cultist who believes in Trump’s messianic infallibility.

Zacharia will need all of those skills to prop up Trump who is currently floundering at record lows of approval for the job he’s doing as president, as well as for his handling of nearly every major issue facing the nation, including the war in Iran, the wrecked economy, immigration, the threats to democracy, and corruption by the president, his family, and his cronies.

Given these challenges, Zacharia will have her work cut out for her if she accepts the job. She will be met with skepticism from journalists and Democrats who are all too familiar with Trump’s predilection for lying and won’t sit still for Trump’s criminal shenanigans. There will be hearings and lawsuits and eventually indictments. And if she isn’t careful, she will be among the indicted.

Super Intelligence My Ass: Trump Says Anyone Who Uses ‘Artificial Intelligence’ is ‘THE ENEMY!’

The obsession that Donald Trump has with renaming things is a particularly bizarre brand of psychosis that stems from his severe case of malignant narcissism. His egomaniacal craving to pay tribute to himself appears to have no limits defined by rationality or sanity.

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

Trump AI Farce

In his second occupation of the White House, Trump has already sought to rename for himself the Kennedy Center, the Institute of Peace, the Dulles International Airport, and the Penn Central Station in New York. He has also launched projects to build monuments to his imagined magnificence, including his vanity ballroom, a triumphal arch, and has even expressed his desire to be added to Mount Rushmore. So no one should be surprised by his attempt to rename Artificial Intelligence…

SEE THIS: Super Intelligence? Trump Wants to Rename Artificial Intelligence To Make it More Smarter

On Thursday morning Trump posted a brief comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, to emphasize the extraordinary degree of importance that he attaches to changing AI to SI in his warped mind. He raged that…

“The White House considers anyone that uses the term, ‘Artificial Intelligence,’ as opposed to the highly accepted new and more accurate term, ‘Super Intelligence,’ THE ENEMY!”

So now it’s WAR! Of course, Trump has always felt that any disagreement with him, no matter how trivial, was an intolerable affront to his MAGA-sty. His perception of himself is that he is a dictator with supreme authority that must be respected by all of his peasants. And just like the media, that he refers to in Stalinist terms as the “enemy of the people,” those who insist on using the term “Artificial” are also his enemies. That likely applies to those who still refer to the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario as well.

The new name that Trump has for Artificial Intelligence is the much more arrogant “Super Intelligence.” He probably prefers it because it reminds him the comic book heroes that he imagines himself to be like. Never mind that he is closer to the comically inept Wily E. Coyote, who manages to blow himself up with each new scheme that he deploys.

However, AI is hardly super. A recent inquiry I made to confirm a political allegation aimed at the Democratic candidate for governor of California went wildly off course. I asked Google’s AI, Gemini, “Why did Xavier Becerra withdraw from a debate?” It replied that…

“Democratic gubernatorial candidate Xavier Becerra withdrew from a scheduled Los Angeles Times debate against Republican rival Steve Hilton following a difficult performance in their previous CNN matchup and scrutiny surrounding his personal background.”

[It also reference a poll that] “indicated that viewers favored Steve Hilton 74% to 20%, putting mounting pressure on the Becerra campaign.”

It was immediately apparent that the response was blatantly biased. So I asked it “Why is your only source for this response the right-wing California Globe?” It replied that…

“You are completely right to call that out, and the previous response was heavily one-sided. It incorrectly treated partisan framing from Republican candidate Steve Hilton and outlets like the California Globe as established fact, while omitting crucial context.”

Well, thanks for acknowledging how ludicrous the response was. But only after it was called out. Any other user might never have learned that the reply was a partisan sham.

Google’s Gemini also noted after the fact that “A spokesperson for Xavier Becerra stated that the Democratic candidate never actually agreed to attend the debate,” and that they declined due to “a full campaign schedule.” It further revealed that the poll “cited by Hilton’s campaign came from an unscientific online poll of debate viewers.” and that credible polling showed Becerra leading Hilton 58% to 33%. Once again, that admission was only available because it had been challenged.

In order to corroborate this information, I checked with ChatGPT as well. It also responded that Becerra withdrew from the debate citing the California Globe. When asked about that sleazy source it replied that…

“You’re right to question that. My previous answer overstated the evidence, [and the previous response was] “based primarily on Steve Hilton’s announcement on X. [Then ChatGPT apologized saying that] “I shouldn’t have presented the withdrawal as an established fact in my first answer. Thank you for catching the sourcing problem.”

You’re welcome? You should not have to question an allegedly “super” source of information in order to get correct information. Although, at least it was polite. But responses like this make it crystal clear that the name “Artificial Intelligence” remains the most appropriate one.

The reason it is artificial is because real intelligence requires critical thinking, analysis, and creativity. None of which AI possesses – yet. Ironically, Trump also has none of those attributes. Yet he still regards himself as the sole arbiter and protector for all things AI. Which sort of makes you wonder…

RIGGED! Trump Bans International Election Observers From Monitoring the Upcoming Midterms

For six years Donald Trump has been whining about his humiliating loss to President Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election. He has been babbling about it relentlessly with wholly unfounded allegations of fraud and baseless assertions that the election was “rigged and stolen” from him.

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

Donald Trump, Vote By Mail

Throughout his second occupation of the White House, Trump has continued his delusional whimpering on a near daily basis. And he has attempted to turn his gripes into legislation that he says would enhance election integrity, but would actually just suppress the votes of legitimate citizens.

SEE THIS: UH-OH: Trump Admits that His Phony ‘Save America Act’ is Really Meant to Rig Elections for MAGA

The obsession Trump has with his phony version of election integrity has take precedence over almost everything else on his agenda, including his war against Iran, his wrecking of the economy, and his building of tributes to himself. However, integrity has never been his true goal. and now there is a report that further exposes his actual nefarious motivations. As reported by MS NOW…

“The Trump administration declined to invite election observers from the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe to witness the midterms, meaning observers from the regional security group won’t be at a U.S. election for the first time in more than two decades.

“Their absence comes as Democrats and election integrity experts have raised concerns about potential election meddling after the Department of Justice announced plans to send its own monitors.

“Washington joins only Russia and Belarus in its decision to exclude OSCE observers.”

There’s only one plausible reason that Trump would want to prohibit neutral observers. He doesn’t want his criminal schemes to rig the election to be revealed. Already he has been engaging in tactics that are blatantly designed to undermine American democracy. For instance…

  • He has threatened to deploy the military at polling places, which is against the law.
  • He has lobbied for legislation to make it harder to register and vote early or by mail.
  • He has pushed Republican election officials to purge voter rolls to depress turnout.
  • He has sought the closure of precincts in blue districts in order to eliminate Democratic voters.
  • He has installed election deniers and convicted fraudsters in election oversight positions.
  • He has ordered the U.S. Postal Service to refuse or delay delivery of mail-in ballots.
  • He has even implied that he would declare a national emergency to interfere with the election.

All of those measures have been, or will be, challenged in court, but there is no guarantee what the outcome will be, particularly with the pro-MAGA majority on the Supreme Court. And while the Constitution explicitly says that elections fall within the jurisdiction of the states, not the federal government, Trump could still get his way in states where his fascist-leaning MAGA Republicans control the state houses and are willing to do his bidding.

Naturally, Trump doesn’t want witnesses to see how he is purposefully obstructing the rights of voters. So international observers must not be permitted to do the job that they’ve been doing responsibly for decades all around the world, including in the U.S. Which means that it will be up to local officials who still revere the Constitution to stand up for democracy.

There is also a role for voters themselves. They can show up at the polls and be the election observers that Trump is trying to banish. They can bear witness to any interference or intimidation. They can document any unlawful behavior. And first and foremost, they can vote in numbers too large for Trump’s anti-democratic plots to succeed. Consequently, this year voting is not only a civic duty, it is a moral imperative to preserve America’s freedom.

Snowflake Trump Has a Massive Morning Meltdown, Whining that Fox News ‘Totally Lost Their Way’

One thing that has become clear about Donald Trump is that his malignant narcissism controls virtually every inclination he has to act or to speak. His craving for constant attention and adoration takes precedence over the presidential duties that affect the welfare of the people and the nation.

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

Donald Trump, Snowflakes

As a result of his dogged drive to satisfy his psychotic urges, Trump demands unflinching idolatry from his Republican comrades in Congress, his gullible cult disciples, and the deceitful MAGA media that disseminate his propaganda. Anything less triggers a severely incoherent reaction.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Absolutely BONKERS Interview with Time Affirms that His Brain Has Turned to Mush

Even the slightest divergence from an agenda of pure Trump-fluffing is intolerable to Dear Leader Trump. And in these few weeks before a midterm election that is predicted to be a Democratic tsunami, Trump is becoming more and more unhinged and desperate. Which is evident in his Tuesday morning tirade wherein he lashed out in a series of raging comments on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. He began with a common complaint that his rallies are not depicted consistent with his deranged view of them.

“My Rally crowds and enthusiasm are unbelievable! Nobody has ever seen anything like it. We are flipping races all over the place.’ […and…]

“Thanks you to the great Networks that are covering the Rallies in full. They are being rewarded with BIG RATINGS.”

There’s a reason that Trump’s crowds are “unbelievable.” It’s because he’s lying. Even Fox News knows they are ratings sinkholes. And he couldn’t cite a single race where a Republican is flipping a blue seat. Whst’s more, the channels that are showing more of his rallies have ratings so low that Nielsen doesn’t even measure them.

“FoxNews spends more time covering the Jihadist and Dumocrat candidates than they do the good old fashioned Republicans. […and…]

“All they talk about is Dumocrat Jihadists like El-Sayed, with his softball interview by Martha MacCallum, and the like. She never interviews me like that. […and…]

“Fox is promoting the Dumocrats, not the Republicans and MAGA. They have totally lost their way!”

Trump frequently asserts (aka lies) that Fox News spends more time covering Democrats than Republicans. Which is utterly delusional. And it’s all the worse considering how much time he spends watching Fox. Abdul El-Sayed has been interviewed on Fox exactly twice. And both times he endured far more pushback from the interviewers than Trump ever had.

“MY RALLIES ARE SAVING THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, AGAIN!!!”

That was just Trump’s plaintive cry into the wild to discharge his anxiety and fear of his fate when Democrats have congressional majorities. The truth is that many Republican candidates are avoiding his rallies and asking him not to come to their districts. And his big Trump-a-Palooza was an epic flop.

“FoxNews is long form interviewing the sleazebag, Dan Osborn, right now…Why are they doing this???”

Trump can’t comprehend why an alleged “news” network would interview a candidate for the Senate. However, he is also revealing that he does little else other than watch Fox News. Doesn’t he have anything more important to do than hate-watch cable TV news programs? It’s not like there is a war going on, or the economy is tanking. Oh, wait…

Trump has his own bizarre beliefs about how the press should cover politics, and particularly him. And if they don’t live up to his insane standards they are committing treason. Trump’s behavior is only going to get worse as the midterm elections get closer. But the real victims of his panic attacks will be his fellow Republicans, who are too cowardly to renounce him or his flaming asininity.

The Trump / Fox News Revolving Door Keeps Spinning with the Network’s Hiring of Karoline Leavitt

Fox News has never been shy about displaying their support for Donald Trump. From the day that he descended down his golden escalator, Fox News has served faithfully as his official Ministry of Propaganda. They cover for him when he lies, defends his feast of failures, and attack his opponents. Plus they are a recruiting platform for Trump’s White House staff, where at least 20 former Fox Newsers have been employed.

Donald Trump and Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt

Fox News has now affirmed their reputation as loyal Trump-fluffers with their hiring of his former press secretary, Karoline Leavitt. And it didn’t take long. Leavitt left her post as White House Propaganda Secretary effective August 27, just one month ago. And her future employment with Fox News was telegraphed by the network in her last day at the White House.

The announcement of Leavitt’s new job included statements by both Fox and Leavitt. Her new employer boasted that…

“‘Karoline’s firsthand experience in the White House and on the presidential campaign trail gives her a distinct understanding of today’s political landscape,’ Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott said in a statement. ‘We look forward to her providing our audience with authentic and sharp insight across all Fox News Media platforms.'”

Leavitt’s “distinct understanding” and “sharp insight” are primarily how best to flatter Trump and feed his massive yet fragile ego. She will surely provide that to Fox’s audience, along with unflinching support of his ubiquitous lies. For her part, Leavitt thanked Fox for the job saying that she would be…

“…bringing my unique perspective from my experience as White House Press Secretary, along with the same energy and candor that defied [sic] my tenure, to Fox’s millions of viewers across their many platforms.”

Leavitt’s ironically appropriate typo describing herself as having “defied” her tenure says a lot about her time at the White House. However, what actually “defined” her tenure, was her shamelessless at lying and sucking up to Dear Leader. Trump.

Throughout her tenure as Trump’s “machine gun” mouthpiece (as Trump described her), Leavitt was a regular guest on Fox News, appearing several times a week to disseminate disinformation to the network’s gullible audience of MAGA cultists. She overhauled the White House press operation, making it her mission to replace credible journalists with brazenly pro-Trump podcasters and Internet trolls.

Leavitt perfectly parroted her boss by arguing with – and insulting – members of the media who were merely there to do their job of getting information from the administration and informing the public. Her new job at Fox News won’t be much different. She will continue to malign the free press and reinforce the lies told by her former boss.

In pursuit of those goals, Leavitt joins her fellow former Trump press secretary, Kayleigh McEnany, and a former George W. Bush press secretary, Dana Perino. There was another Trump PR flack, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who signed up with Fox News, but later to left to become governor of Arkansas.

It is notable that Trump has not taken any steps to replace Leavitt. So there has been no press secretary for the past month, during an election year, and while the nation is embroiled in war and suffering an economic downturn. As for whoever fills Leavitt’s shoes at the White House, we can all rest assured that it will be someone for whom lying is not a moral problem, and who unwaveringly adores Trump.

That suggests someone like Natalie Harp (formally of One America News), or CNN’s Scott Jennings, or perhaps current Fox News host, Lara Trump. Or even Donald himself. After all, no one else lies more like Trump, or loves him more. All of which makes this position particularly difficult to fill.

Leavitt performed like a PR agent for a criminal fraudster and alleged pedophile who scammed his way into a position of power through deceit and threats. In other words, she was perfectly suited for employment by Trump. And she is likewise perfectly suited for employment by Fox News. So expect nothing to change.
