Trump is APPALLED that Nobody is Talking About a CNN Poll With 100% Approval – That Doesn’t Exist

Posted by on May 5, 2026 at 3:15 pm. 0 Comments :

The resting state of Donald Trump’s personality, or what passes for one, is “Unbridled Rage.” Consequently, it isn’t exactly news when he is appalled by something. But it is still useful to pay attention to precisely what absurdities are triggering the Narcissist-in-Chief.

Donald Trump, Mocking Disability

On Monday morning Trump hosted a group of athletes and children, along with a couple of his Cabinet flunkies, at the White House to promote physical fitness. That’s a subject that Trump is almost as unqualified to discuss as mental fitness. Trump’s impairment is so noticeably bad that recent polling shows that the American people regard President Biden, who Trump has maligned as mentally incompetent, as preferable to Trump.

SEE THIS: CUE TRUMP TANTRUM: Multiple Polls Find that Most Americans Favor Biden Over Trump

In this morning’s event Trump rattled off his usual quota of lies and inanities. Many were inappropriate for his youthful guests. But one that deserves some extra attention is his preposterous claim to being so beloved by his cult followers that it was even affirmed by a poll conducted by “fake news” CNN. Trump babbled that…

I am at, according to CNN, 100% approval within the Republican Party…Did you see the CNN poll? Nobody talks about it. I think the people that did that poll probably got fired. But within the Republican Party and MAGA, which is basically 100% of the party I think,”

Trump lies: "According to CNN, I'm at 100% approval within the Republican Party"

There is a pretty good reason that nobody is talking about that CNN poll. It doesn’t exist. What Trump is talking about is a poll by NBC in March that found that among his MAGA devotees Trump had 100% approval. Which shouldn’t surprise anyone. It’s like finding that 100% of the pigs in a sty approve of the mud.

At least this time Trump acknowledged that the poll respondents were Republicans and MAGA. On previous occasions he cited the same poll, but left out that detail, implying that 100% of the population at large approved of him. Even so, in these new remarks Trump is still misleading by saying that MAGA “is basically 100% of the party.” Actually, in the same NBC poll they segmented the results to show that among non-MAGA Republicans, Trump’s approval was only 66%. So a third (31%) of his own party doesn’t approve of him.

So what Trump said was “according to CNN,” wasn’t. And Trump flagrantly misrepresented what NBC’s poll did find. And he even imagined that CNN fired their pollsters. Never mind that virtually every recent poll shows that Trump is languishing at record lows for approval, as well as on every major issue, including Iran, the economy, immigration, etc.

No wonder Trump is so obsessed with lying about the abysmal state o of his popularity, or utter lack thereof. He is literally the most despised president in modern times. This forebodes badly for him with regard to the upcoming midterm elections. His ego simply can’t handle that rejection. So he’s feverishly trying to deceive his disciples – and, more importantly in his mind, himself.

WTF? Trump’s FCC Expected to OK Paramount’s Takeover of CNN with BILLIONS of Middle East Dollars

Posted by on April 28, 2026 at 1:55 pm. 2 Comments :

The state of the media business has declined precipitously during the second occupation of the White House by Donald Trump. Either they have capitulated to his threats, lied to “sanewash” his incoherent babbling, soft-pedaled his autocratic policies, or just failed to demonstrate the courage that is expected from practitioners of a free press.

General Donald Trump on CNN

In short, the performance of much of the media amounts to simply cowardice. While there are some notable exceptions, the craven spinelessness, greed, and biases of most of the biggest media conglomerates is more than a little disturbing. And their sheepish surrender to Trump’s crybaby bullying encourages his worst totalitarian tendencies. Such as…

SEE THIS: Trump at the ‘Justice’ Department: CNN, MSNBC, and Other Media are Illegal and ‘It Has to Stop’

Trump has been carefully studying the anti-democratic tactics of his tyrannical idols Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un, and Viktor Orbán. And the results are evident in recent interactions between the government agencies he presides over and his MAGA media pals.

For instance, Larry and David Ellison, the Trump-fluffing moguls who own Paramount Skydance, are now seeking to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery. They have already gotten some preliminary approvals from Trump, his Justice Department, and his Federal Trade Commission. And now they are seeking to get a green light from the Federal Communications Commission. As reported by the Hollywood Reporter…

“Paramount has asked the Federal Communications Commission to sign off on its equity investment from three prominent Middle East sovereign wealth funds that are backing the company’s $111 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery.”

Paramount is making a direct appeal to Trump flunky Brendan Carr, his FCC chair, to approve the deal for the merger, including $24 billion from “Saudi Arabia’s PIF (public investment fund), L’Imad, an Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund, and a Qatar Investment Authority fund.” And while they say that “the sovereign funds are only acquiring non-voting equity shares,” it would still be an unprecedented arrangement wherein these foreign investors would own 49.5% of the company.

Paramount says that “the Ellison family and RedBird will…be the sole owners of Class A Common Stock, representing 100% of the voting shares.” And they think that makes things better? It actually means that these politically biased billionaire pals of Trump will be the overlords of two prominent news networks, CBS and CNN, along with all of the other assets of the combined media empire.

There are legal obstacles to foreign individuals, businesses, or governments owning U.S. media companies. The law cites national security, propaganda or political influence, and media concentration, as issues impacting approval. Under normal circumstances it would be particularly concerning for Middle Eastern entities to own such large percentages of American media.

The potential for exploiting the platforms (both news and entertainment) is obvious and worrisome. Even limited to non-voting shares, they would have significant leverage by simply threatening to sell shares, maneuvering their own competing platforms, or bailing out entirely.

Anyone who thinks that investors who own nearly half of the company wouldn’t be able to influence the company’s decisions is terminally naïve. And if those investors also happen to be tight with the U.S. administration, it just makes the potential for risk even greater.

There is literally no limit to the nefarious financial and national security mischief that they could engage in. And Trump’s Justice Department and other oversight agencies would be useless. Trump has already cleansed them of any ethical operatives. His administration, and Trump himself, would be no deterrent at all. In fact, the record shows that he would be an accomplice.

The White House Correspondents Association Awards Are Gonna Really Piss Trump Off

Posted by on April 14, 2026 at 2:05 pm. NO Comments :

On Saturday, April 25, the White House Correspondents Association (WHCA) will be holding their annual dinner to honor members and raise money for journalism scholarships. It’s an event that mixes politics, news, and entertainment. The audience is mostly reporters who cover the White House and Donald Trump, along with their sometimes odd guests.

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

Donald Trump TV Set

Each year a there is a guest MC who, in the past, has been a professional comedian. Last year the comedian, Amber Ruffin, was axed after Trump threw a tantrum. This year, it will be hypnotist, Oz Pearlman. Read into that what you will. This will also be the first year that Trump has attended the event as president. In his five previous opportunities he was too afraid of facing the humor that is commonly part of the festivities.

SEE THIS: Dementia J. Trump Thinks He Was Invited to the White House Correspondents Dinner as the Honoree

With Trump’s attendance at the dinner he is expected to give a speech. It will be interesting to hear his predictably hostile remarks before the audience of journalists that he frequently refers to as “the enemy of the people.” He is also likely going to be subjected to some good natured criticism in remarks by some of the other speakers. But he is notoriously incapable of tolerating any criticism of any kind. So expect to see video of him scowling much of the time. Which will be especially true when the WHCA is handing its annual awards for excellence.

The WHCA has announced the winners of these awards. and they are not going to make Trump very happy. According to the WHCA press release…

“Groundbreaking reporting about the first year of President Trump’s second term dominated the winners of this year’s journalism awards from the White House Correspondents’ Association.

“The reporting being honored included such subjects as the exercise of power in the White House, loyalty of civil servants to a new administration, a dramatic meeting in the Oval Office with the president of Ukraine, and the late Jeffrey Epstein.

“This year’s awards honor work done in 2025, by journalists at the Associated Press, CNN, Getty Images and The Wall Street Journal.”

UH-OH. The Association better make sure there are no condiment bottles, or anything else throwable, on the table where Trump is seated. Some of the award recipients are…

THE ALDO BECKMAN AWARD FOR OVERALL EXCELLENCE IN WHITE HOUSE COVERAGE: Josh Dawsey, The Wall Street Journal:
‘Special government employees,’ including many who drive policy, aren’t required to publicly disclose potential conflicts or give up outside work or investments.”
[Note: A federal court recently threw out a defamation lawsuit by Trump against the The Wall Street Journal]

PRINT AWARD FOR EXCELLENCE IN PRESIDENTIAL NEWS COVERAGE UNDER DEADLINE PRESSURE: Aamer Madhani and Zeke Miller, The Associated Press:
“Incoming senior Trump administration officials have begun questioning career civil servants who work on the White House National Security Council about who they voted for in the 2024 election.”
[Note: Trump also lost a case wherein he tried to ban the AP from White House events]

BROADCAST AWARD FOR EXCELLENCE IN PRESIDENTIAL NEWS COVERAGE UNDER DEADLINE PRESSURE: Kaitlan Collins, CNN:
“What just happened in the Oval Office is nothing short of remarkable.It began with questions about a cease fire in Ukraine and security guarantees, and what the United States would be willing to do. And it ended with an outright shouting match between President Zelensky, President Trump and Vice President JD Vance. It was incredibly heated, and by the end of it, President Trump was absolutely fuming.”
[Note: Trump recently threatened CNN over a story he falsely claims was fake news]

THE KATHARINE GRAHAM AWARD FOR COURAGE AND ACCOUNTABILITY: The Wall Street Journal:
“Jeffrey Epstein’s Friends Sent Him Bawdy Letters for a 50th. Birthday Album. One Was From Donald Trump. The leather-bound book was compiled by Ghislaine Maxwell. The president says the letter ‘is a fake thing.’”

It is customary for the president to present some these awards. But it is difficult to imagine Trump doing so considering the recipients and the subject matter of their winning stories. At least not without Trump making some idiotic and infantile insults in the process. Which is all we can expect from him.

Trump Lies and Threatens CNN Over a Story He Falsely Claims Was Fake News From Nigeria About Iran

Posted by on April 8, 2026 at 3:43 pm. 1 Comments :

Now that Trump has claimed victory over Iran – after repeatedly claiming imaginary victories in the past six weeks – he is bragging about how masterful his negotiating skills are that led to this outcome. Never mind that the alleged ceasefire that Trump is touting is already reported to have been broken, and that few if any of his demands have been met.

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

Donald Trump, CNN

True to form, Trump is laser focused on on the facade of leadership that he seeks to present. He has always been more interested in appearances than substantive results. And to that end, he is reverting to his standard operating procedure of bashing the free press should they report anything about him that is less than gushingly adoring. In his diseased mind, he must be worshiped at all times, and at all costs…

SEE THIS: Trump Desperately Clings to Wildly Adoring Polls, Doesn’t Mention They Only Polled His Supporters

The ceasefire deal that Trump claims to have struck will supposedly reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which was already open before the reckless and illegal war that he started. Only now it will be controlled by Iran who will be charging fees to pass through it. Iran will also get sanctions relief in this deal, and their oil will be selling for much more on the global markets. And all it cost the United States was a few billion dollars and thousands of innocent Iranian lives, as well as thirteen American troops.

Trump proudly posted a comment announcing the deal on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, saying that, subject to Iran agreeing, he would “suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks.” Because everything that Trump does happens (or more accurately, doesn’t happen) in a two week span, from revealing his healthcare plan to releasing the Epstein files. This time he’s reneging his prior promise that “A whole civilization will die tonight.”

Then, in pursuit of more surface level adulation, Trump lashed out at CNN for publishing a story about the ceasefire. Naturally, Trump’s position contained an abundance of anger and a litany of lies. He wrote that “The alleged Statement put out by CNN World News is a FRAUD,” and made a bizarre charge, without any evidence, that “The false Statement was linked to a Fake News site (from Nigeria).” But then he elaborated with an overt, albeit impotent, threat…

“Authorities are looking to determine whether or not a crime was committed on the issuance of the Fake CNN World Statement, or was it a sick rogue player? CNN is being ordered to immediately withdraw this Statement with full apologies for their, as usual, terrible ‘reporting.’ Results of the investigation will be announced in the near future. President DONALD J. TRUMP”

So Trump is seeking to criminally prosecute CNN for publishing a story that he doesn’t like. And furthermore, he is “ordering” them to retract the story and apologize to him. That is the tyrannical behavior of a confirmed fascist who thinks that he has the right to dominate the press. Which is nothing new for Trump.

MORE HERE: Trump Brags About Getting Fascist Control of the Media in Bonkers Truth Social Post

For the record, CNN is standing by their story. They claim that it is well sourced and accurate. As reported by Deadline…

“CNN is defending its reporting on the statement. A spokesperson said, ‘The statement in question was obtained by CNN from Iranian officials and reported on multiple Iranian state media outlets. We received the statement from specific official Iranian spokespeople who are known to us.'”

To make matters worse, Trump’s FCC boss, Brendan Carr, joined in the attack on CNN. Without conducting any investigation or research, Carr charged that CNN’s conduct was “outrageous,” and that they were “pushing out a hoax headline,” and that “this requires accountability.”

So Carr is also threatening CNN, even though he has no authority over cable news networks. He closed with an ominous taunt that it is “Time for change at CNN.” [Note: Trump’s billionaire pals David and Larry Ellison are in the process of acquiring Warner Bros/Discovery, which also owns CNN]

This sort of government bullying of the media is what you might expect to see in dictatorships like Russia and North Korea. But considering that those countries are run by Trump’s idols and mentors, Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un, it shouldn’t surprise anyone that he is emulating their totalitarian tactics. Hopefully, he will be stopped by a new Democratic Congress and the American people who cherish freedom.

Trump Desperately Clings to Wildly Adoring Polls, Doesn’t Mention They Only Polled His Supporters

Posted by on March 31, 2026 at 3:06 pm. NO Comments :

The raging egomania of Donald Trump is often revealed in his pitifully deranged behavior. He has a habit of declaring that everything he does or says surpasses the meager activities of mere mortals “on a level that has never been seen before.” It’s remarkable how one person can be so extraordinarily superior to everyone else on the planet so consistently.

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

Donald Trump

Trump’s messianic view of himself comes across to most people as severely psychotic. But his glassy-eyed cult disciples embrace him as a manifestation of the divine. They are bound to accept his every pronouncement as gospel, and his every decree as holy. That’s the nature of a cult. And Trump is their Dear Leader who closely monitors their devotion to insure their unflinching loyalty.

SEE THIS: Trump PR Flack, Karoline Leavitt, Embraces Poll that Proves MAGA is a Cult that Worships Trump

To that end, Trump repeatedly misleads his cult followers by trying to convince them that he is universally adored. Nothing could be farther from the truth. His approval ratings are so deeply underwater that even Fox News can’t ignore it. So Trump resorts to collecting blatantly biased polls and presenting them as credible.

MORE HERE: UH-OH! Fox News Poll Spells DOOM for Trump and His MAGA Republicans in Congress

On Tuesday Trump posted three such polls on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social. The polls were conducted by the notoriously partisan McLaughlin & Associates. The results of these surveys say that Trump’s use of tariffs are approved by 91% of the survey’s respondents. Also, Trump’s decision to use military force in Iran is approved by 89%. Also, Trump arresting Venezuelan Dictator Nicolas Maduro is approved by 92%. On every one of those issues credible polls show Trump with overwhelmingly negative numbers.

In none of Trump’s posts did he bother to mention that the polls he posted were all taken at the recent CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) conference. CPAC is a convention of far right Republicans that featured guest speakers like Steve Bannon, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, ICE Director Tom Homan, Matt Gaetz, FCC Chair Brendan Carr, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, Mike Lindell, and, well you get the idea. It’s a convention of Trump-fluffers, by Trump-fluffers, for Trump-fluffers.

Some other results of the CPAC poll include Trump’s overall approval at 96%. And 94% say that Trump is “the best President in my lifetime.” Most of the more credible pollsters have Trump’s approval in record low territory that dips below 40%.

Trump, however, wants his cult devotees to believe that they are part of a massive contingent of patriots who want to make American great again, when they are actually a pathetic klan of kooks and crybabies who just want to blame their problems on minorities, immigrants, and the liberals who actually do make America great. So to rope in his MAGA-tists, Trump openly lies about his support. And this instance with the CPAC polls isn’t the first time. Just 10 days ago…

For the record, What Trump is lying about isn’t even a CNN poll. It’s an NBC poll that CNN reported on. And it surveyed only MAGA supporters. The small print in CNN’s graphic even notes that non-MAGA Republicans only support Trump 66-31%. So a third of his party doesn’t approve of him.

This is a desperation play by Trump. He knows that he is widely despised and that his MAGA GOP comrades in Congress are about to lose their majority status to Democrats. That will put Trump in the uncomfortable position of being vulnerable to honest and competent oversight for a change. And honesty and competence are two things that Trump is totally unfamiliar with, and intensely afraid of. The White House is going to have to stock up on ketchup bottles and other throwing items between now and November.

Fox News is TERRIFIED of How Awful Trump is Doing Prior to His State of the Union Lie Fest

Posted by on February 23, 2026 at 1:46 pm. NO Comments :

Every public appearance by Donald Trump is an opportunity for him to disseminate another bunch of flagrant falsehoods that are designed to manufacture a fantasy world wherein he is not merely a strong leader, but the savior of all mankind. He desperately yearns to be perceived as the infallible and divinely anointed Messiah of MAGA.

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

Donald Trump baby with Fox News logo

Consequently, the annual State of Union address is a profoundly significant event that has the potential to make or break a president, depending on how they perform, and how the public perceives it. In Trump’s case it is another chance to deceive America with ludicrous claims of fictitious accomplishments, rancid insults aimed at his many perceived political enemies, tiresome repetitions of imagined offenses, and egomaniacal exaltations of his delusional magnificence.

SEE THIS: CUE TRUMP TANTRUM: Multiple Polls Find that Most Americans Favor Biden Over Trump

Naturally, Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, is feverishly working to promote Dear Leader prior to his big day before Congress and the nation. And who better than Fox’s Senior Trump-Fluffer, Maria Bartiromo, to spearhead the effort to pump up Trump. So on her morning program on Monday she unloaded this bit of buffoonery…

“It’s incredible to me that it appears to be that the Democrats are so angry about President Trump’s success – he’s been so successful on so many levels and has done things so fast – that now the Democrats are boycotting the State of the Union. Adam Schiff, Mr. Russia Collusion himself, said he’s not gonna show up to the State of the Union tomorrow night.”

Maria Bartiromo: "It's incredible to me that it appears to be that the Democrats are so angry about President Trump's success, he's been so successful on so many levels and has done things so fast that now the Democrats are boycotting the State of the Union."

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-02-23T13:15:45.524Z

Bartiromo is right. Trump has been incredibly successful. At exacerbating inflation; at raising the cost of living for everyone but the rich; at causing healthcare premiums to skyrocket; at terrorizing law-abiding residents of Democratic run cities; at decimating regulations that mitigate the harm of Climate Change; at blowing up boats with potentially innocent fisherman in the Caribbean; at alienating America’s international allies, while embracing authoritarian foes; at undermining the First Amendment and suppressing the free press; and at destroying the Republican Party and any hopes they had of maintaining their majorities in Congress.

What’s more, Bartiromo is demonstrating that she is just as out of touch with the American people as Trump is. She appears to be utterly unaware that Trump’s standing among voters is historically low. On Monday morning CNN’s polling analyst, Harry Enten, observed that Trump is floundering in deeply negative territory.

“Trump’s net approval rating, look at all the pre-SOTU polls…negative 27 points…Compare that to where he was in 2020, 2019, and 2018, in term one going into those State of the Unions…way lower now. The bottom line is this: Donald Trump has never been weaker going into a State of the Union address, according to our CNN polling, than he is right now. And weaker by a considerable amount. [And] Trump isn’t just weaker than he’s ever been going into a State of the Union address, he’s weaker than any other president this century going into a State of the Union address at this point in their second term.”

Enten: "Trump's net approval rating. Look at the pre-SOTU polls. Look at that — negative 27 points! My goodness gracious. Compare that to where he was in 2020, 2019, and 2017 — minus 10, way lower now. The bottom line is Donald Trump has never been weaker going into a State of the Union."

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-02-23T13:35:59.999Z

Bartiromo is obviously taking her cues from Trump himself. He is fervently gaslighting the nation, telling reporters on Monday that “We have the greatest economy we’ve ever had.” But with nonsense like that he’s just reminding voters, who know better, that he is woefully out of touch with their lives. Democrats are likely to be hoping that he keeps telling these lies, because he’s really helping their electoral prospects in November.

As for the State of the Union, there is a respite for those who don’t want to be tortured by another hour or two of Trump spitting lies and rage-whining. As Bartiromo was kind enough to point out, MeidasTouch and MoveOn are hosting a People’s State of the Union. And Kid Rock is guaranteed not to be there.

For those Boycotting the State of the Union, MoveOn and MeidasTouch are hosting the People’s State of the Union. Let’s unite at this live event for an uplifting and powerful purpose. ???

CNN Trump-Fluffer, Scott Jennings, Brags that He Gets Paid a Lot to Spew Lies and Propaganda

Posted by on February 21, 2026 at 12:39 pm. NO Comments :

There is a lot wrong with the mainstream media in America today. It is dominated by multi-national conglomerates that are run by right-wing billionaires who are beholden to Donald Trump and other conservative politicians, and to their own obsessive greed.

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

General Donald Trump on CNN

News enterprises that have endured many decades of political pressure are caving in to the threats of retribution for refusing to slant their reporting in favor of the powerful autocrats occupying the White House. For instance, the Washington Post has taken a decidedly more positive approach to Trump, and even paid $40 million for the rights to the flopping “Melania” crockumentary. ABC News paid millions of dollars to Trump as a settlement (aka bribe) for a meritless lawsuit. CBS News has been censoring their stories, their reporters, and even their late night comedians.

SEE THIS: NICE WORK CBS! Banning the Steven Colbert Interview with James Talarico, Got Them Way More Views

The granddaddy of cable news networks, CNN, apparently doesn’t want to be left out. Which might explain why they keep someone like Scott Jennings on the payroll. Jennings appears on CNN panel shows to add his knee-jerk adulation of all things Trump. His contributions consist mainly of disseminating lies, insulting his colleagues on the panel, interrupting everybody, including the host, Abby Phillip, and exalting Dear Leader Trump.

Jennings was demonstrating all of that on Friday during a discussion of the Supreme Court decision striking down Trump’s idiotic, inflationary, and illegal tariffs. During an exchange with liberal pundit, Keith Boykin, Jennings revealed precisely where his loyalties lie. And Boykin wasn’t having it…

Keith Boykin: That was a very charitable explanation of what took place today, Scott. You should be paid a lot of money from the Trump administration for helping to…
Jennings: No, I get paid a lot of money here.
Boykin: I know you do. And other places too. But you should be paid by the Trump administration for what you said because the reality is that the president didn’t just accept the ruling like you said he did.”
Jennings: Yes, he did.
Boykin: No. He got up there in the press conference today, and he attacked the U.S. Supreme Court justices. He said that they should be embarrassed for their families for making a decision that stood up to him. He attacked them and said they were disloyal and unpatriotic. He said they were disloyal to the Constitution. That’s more than disagreement. That’s irresponsible rhetoric.

WATCH — @keithboykin.bsky.social : “That was a very charitable explanation. Trump should be paying you a lot of money.”SMUG SCOTT JENNINGS: “I get paid a lot of money here.”@cnn.com how proud y’all must be (H/T @acyn.bsky.social )

— The Tennessee Holler (@thetnholler.bsky.social) 2026-02-21T03:30:43.873Z

Boykin was right about Trump’s hostile response to the ruling. Trump not only did not accept the Court’s decision, he explicitly rejected it, insisting that he would try to evade the law by imposing his tariffs anyway via other unscrupulous means. And in the meantime, he went ballistic on the members of the Court, including his own appointees, who had the audacity to rule against him.

Trump suffered a massive meltdown following his humiliating loss in the Supreme Court over his idiotic, inflationary, illegal tariffs.So he posted a series of tediously long and deranged tirades on Truth(less) (anti)Social…

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-02-21T10:56:44.065Z

Boykin was also right about who ought to be paying Jennings’ salary. Jennings is a shameless mouthpiece for Trump and his regime. No matter what atrocity Trump might be responsible for, Jennings defends him. That includes Trump’s unsavory relationship with child sex trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein, and his refusal to release all of the Epstein files.

Who knows? Maybe Trump is already compensating Jennings under the table for his adulatory advocacy. Maybe he’s getting some bitcoin deposits that are untraceable. Jennings has been considering a run for the Senate in Kentucky, and perhaps Trump has expressed his interest in endorsing him.

In any case, CNN has no business providing Jennings with a platform for his propaganda. That’s what Fox News is for. There are plenty of conservative pundits who are not such pitifully worshipful adherents to the cult of Trump, and who could deliver far more rational perspectives of the conservative point of view than the childish insults and attacks that Jennings specializes in.

CNN should fire Jennings immediately. Not for his political views. but for his hostility, his lies, his disrespect for the host and all other women on the program, and his smug admission that he’s only in it for the money. CNN doesn’t need any of that, And neither does their audience. What’s left of it.

Herr Trump Warns News Networks Not to Book His Former Staffers Who Criticize Him – Or What?

Posted by on February 6, 2026 at 2:13 pm. NO Comments :

The media that Donald Trump maligns in Stalinist terms as “the enemy of the people” continues to rankle the Snowflake-in-Chief. He can’t seem to go for a single day – or a single hour – without lashing out like an insolent infant at the free press for having the unmitigated audacity to exercise their constitutionally protected First Amendment rights.

Donald Trump Tyrant Dictator

It’s gotten so bad in what remains of Trump’s mind that he is no longer confining his petulant outbursts to Democrats, wayward Republicans, or other perceived political foes. The range of Trump’s wrath has expanded to include anyone who utters even mild misgivings about his massive misconduct.

SEE THIS: Trump Proudly Hypes a Poll that Shows His MAGA-tists are Mindless Members of a Totalitarian Cult

On Thursday night, and into the wee hours of Friday morning, Trump posted dozens of utterly insane comments on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. They included some more of his pitiful and repeatedly debunked whining that he won the 2020 election that he lost to Joe Biden. And there were the usual exaltations of himself as America’s messiah. And there was a particularly vile post that featured a video in which Michelle and President Obama were depicted as apes.

Along with all of that evidence of Trump’s impaired mental acuity, he also posted a comment that attacked a couple of his own former White House staffers. The comment exposed both his cognitive decline and his hate-triggered craving for vengeance. In a long and rambling disgorgement of disgust that isn’t worth transcribing, Trump raged that…

“Ty Cobb, one of the Worst Lawyers in Washington, D.C., a REAL LOSER, was fired years ago [and] major Loser, Miles Taylor, who I have no idea who he is, make livings talking about me like they know me well. […] These two Networks [CNN and MS NOW] are forewarned not to put them on the air again.”

REALLY? For the record, Ty Cobb served as the White House special counsel for Trump from July 2017 to May 2018, managing the Trump administration’s response to the Robert Mueller special counsel investigation of his collusion with Russia. Miles Taylor served as the Chief of Staff at the Department of Homeland Security from 2019 to 2020.

So both Cobb and Taylor were highly placed members in Trump’s administration. If now he has no idea who they are, that can only be interpreted as a memory lapse consistent with Alzheimer’s, or something like it. He can hardly be considered to be able to carry out the duties of his office if he can’t remember them.

Even worse, Trump went on to issue a threat to two cable TV news networks, CNN and MS NOW. What does he mean by his “forewarning” those networks not to permit two former Trump administration officials to appear on their air? Does Trump think that he has the authority to dictate who news networks are allowed to interview? Because if he does think that, it’s just more proof of his unfitness for office. And this isn’t the first time that he has gone done this path of pure censorship…

There have already been numerous examples of Trump’s twisted behavior that would more than justify removing him from office by either impeachment or invoking the 25th Amendment. They include his quest to take over Greenland, his anointing himself the acting president of Venezuela, his egomaniacal renaming of the Kennedy Center for himself, his imposition of inflationary tariffs on most of the world, and his presiding over a stormtrooper-like invasion of American cities that has resulted in untold suffering and death. And if that isn’t a profile of someone who is criminally insane, then what is?

FACT CHECK: Serial Liar Trump Unleashed a Fury of Flagrant Falsehoods (aka Lies) on 60 Minutes

Posted by on November 3, 2025 at 1:07 pm. NO Comments :

It is a rare occurrence when Donald Trump allows himself to be interviewed by anyone other than one of the slobbering sycophants who populate the MAGA media outlets like Fox News or Newsmax or One America News Network. It is evidence of his innate cowardice, insecurity, and fear of being asked a question that is more difficult than “How did you become so handsome and brilliant?”

Trump Lies

Which may have sparked some curiosity when it was announced that Trump would be interviewed on “60 Minutes” by Norah O’Donnell. Although it shouldn’t have for reasons that will be dealt with in more detail below. On the surface, it seemed peculiar that Trump would appear on the network and program that he recently sued for alleged “election interference.”

True to form, Trump delivered a performance that was rife with deflection and dishonesty. When he wasn’t making up fantastical diversions from reality, he was swerving off into unrelated responses to questions he either didn’t know the answers to, or was too afraid to reply with anything resembling the truth.

Fortunately, CNN’s designated fact-checker, Daniel Dale, was on the job. He posted a pretty comprehensive summation of the many lies that Trump tried to pass off as coherent replies to inquiries on some serious matters. What follows are some of the more egregiously truthless Trumpisms itemized in Dale’s article…

  • It’s not true grocery prices “are down”; Trump told this lie even after O’Donnell told him they’re up
  • It’s not true “$17 trillion” is being invested in the US “right now” (this fictional figure is nearly double the White House’s own wildly inflated “announcements” figure)
  • It’s not true some recent former presidents invoked the Insurrection Act “28 times” (Ulysses S. Grant has the record because he invoked it on six occasions)
  • It’s not true Trump has ended “eight wars” (among other issues, his list includes two situations that weren’t wars at all
  • It’s not true foreign countries pay his tariffs (US importers make the payments and often pass on costs to consumers)
  • It’s not true Trump inherited the worst inflation of all time (it was 3% the month he took office, same as now, and even the 9.1% Biden-era peak in 2022 was not close to the all-time record)
  • It’s not true the 2020 election was “rigged and stolen” (his usual lie)
  • It’s not true the Presidential Records Act says he was allowed to have classified documents at his home post-presidency (it says all presidential records are to be in government custody the moment a president leaves office)
  • It’s not true Trump never instructed the Justice Department to go after Comey and James (he explicitly pressured the head of the department to do so in a social media post we all saw)
  • It’s not true Democrats are trying to give $1.5 trillion to illegal immigrants in the shutdown battle
  • It’s not true foreign leaders have emptied their prisons to somehow insert criminals into the US as migrants

It’s ironic that Trump is lying so profusely during a “60 Minutes” interview. He sued CBS over an interview they conducted with Kamala Harris that he said was election interference and “probably illegal.” CBS settled the lawsuit without apologizing or conceding any wrongdoing. But they still shelled out $16 million dollars for his presidential library, if there is ever is one.

That settlement was a more of a bribe that CBS was paying to insure that mob boss Trump wouldn’t block the merger that CBS’ parent corporation, Paramount, was trying to complete with Skydance Media, a company run by Trump pals, Larry and David Ellison. There was no legal reason to settle. The case had no merit whatsoever. Trump was alleging that “60 Minutes” had improperly edited the interview to favor Harris politically. They didn’t.

What’s more, Trump acknowledged that he knew that CBS would be editing his interview. Which they did. It was whittled down from 90 minutes to about 28, in much the same way that he complained about for the Harris interview. And while it was in progress, Trump revealed that, not only was he aware of the editing, but he gave CBS permission to edit out specific parts that exposed the bias of the network’s new owners in his favor…

“You don’t have to put this on, because I don’t want to embarrass you. […] I think you have a great new leader, frankly, who’s – the young woman [Bari Weiss] that’s leading your whole enterprise is a great, from what I know – I don’t know her, but I hear she’s a great person. But ’60 Minutes’ was forced to pay me a lot of money because they took her [Kamala Harris] answer out that was so bad it was election-changing.”

So Trump sued CBS for what they did with the Harris interview, which is also precisely what he was now conspiring with CBS to do for his own interview. And the rest of the time he was lying. Of course, most of America – and the world – is already aware that Trump lies virtually every time he opens his mouth. But the reputation of CBS is now pretty much shot to hell. And unless the honest journalists who haven’t quit yet rise up to defend the free press, CBS can take their place in the MAGA Media Hall of Shame.

GOOD NEWS: Trump is ‘Swimming with the Fishes’ According to the Aggregate of His Dismal Polling

Posted by on September 8, 2025 at 1:21 pm. 2 Comments :

Ever since Donald Trump’s reoccupation of the White House, he has been profoundly despised by the majority of the American people. Virtually every poll taken in the past few months has shown him with pitifully high disapproval ratings that are unmatched by any other modern president, except for Trump in his first term.

Donald Trump Walking the Plank

The disgust of the voters is understandable considering his policies that have been explicitly aimed at hurting average Americans, while benefitting the wealthy and corporations. He has cut taxes for the rich, while cutting benefits for everyone else, including Medicare and health insurance. He has exacerbated climate change. He has abandoned our democratic allies around the world. He has imposed tariffs that worsen inflation. And he has deployed the military against us in our own homes.

The consequences of these wildly unpopular positions has been the rapid decomposition of whatever support Trump had from voters who were concerned about the rising cost of living. And this has not gone unnoticed by CNN’s polling analyst, Harry Enten. In a segment on Monday morning Enten delivered the good news about Trump’s bad state of affairs…

“Look at the aggregate of the polls and look how long Donald Trump’s net approval rating has been negative. It has been every day since March 12th in the average of polls. We’re talking about 181 days in a row in which Donald Trump has been underwater, swimming with the fishes. There is no good data for Donald Trump when looking at the aggregate and looking overall. He has been negative for a very long period of time, the vast majority of his second presidency.”

Enten: “Look how long Donald Trump’s net approval rating has been negative — every day since March 12. We’re talking about 181 days in a row in which Trump has been under water swimming with the fishes. There is no good data for Trump. Look at the issues. Trump is under water on all of them.”

In addition to the rock bottom numbers for Trump personally, he is also in desperate condition on all of the most important matters facing the nation. On trade, due to his ridiculous tariffs, Trump is at a negative 17. On the economy he is at a negative 14; On foreign policy he’s down to a negative 12. And the two issues that he most closely aligned himself with, immigration and crime, he’s showing a negative three and two respectively.

There isn’t a positive number in the bunch. But that doesn’t stop him from claiming to have the highest polling numbers ever. Whether that’s just Trump lying again, or it’s a symptom of his severely delusional malignant narcissism, is hard to tell. But it really doesn’t matter. Either way it is harmful to the nation and justification for his involuntary removal from office. And the sooner the better.

The American people have already decided that Trump is unfit for office. They are opposed to his policies. And they are repulsed by his character, or lack thereof. And his refusal to come clean about his unsavory relationship with Jeffrey Epstein isn’t helping.
