Totally Deranged: Trump Gets Hopelessly Lost in His Own Warped ‘Weave’ of Lies and Deflections

Posted by on October 15, 2024 at 2:41 pm. 3 Comments :

The evidence of Donald Trump’s mental infirmities has been frightfully abundant. The more public appearances he makes, the more obvious is his descent into babbling incoherence. That may be why his campaign staff is strictly limiting his interviews and exposure.

Donald Trump, Mocking Disability

In recent weeks Trump has chickened out of a traditional 60 Minutes interview that has featured both Republicans and Democrats for 50 years. He refuses to have a second debate with Kamala Harris. He has declined to release his medical records, while preposterously accusing Harris of having cognitive problems. And he remains firmly ensconced within his MAGA-friendly bunker, only agreeing to visit with slobbering sycophants and cult disciples.

SEE THIS: Kamala Harris is Blitzing Media that Donald Trump is Too Afraid of To Do

On Tuesday morning Trump did a Q&A at the Economic Club of Chicago hosted by John Micklethwait, Editor-in-chief of Bloomberg News. And to no one’s surprise, it went straight and abysmally south as Trump failed to grasp what the heck was going on. In each instance Trump wandered far afield from the subject and had to be handheld back. What follows are a few of the exchanges that illustrate his extreme enfeeblement…

Micklethwait: Should Google be broken up?
Trump: I can’t believe the DOJ is suing Virginia over its voter rolls. I haven’t gotten over that.
Micklethwait: The question is about Google, Mr. Trump.

The tangent that Trump travels down here is a blatant lie. He asserts that the Justice Department sued the state of Virginia to make them retain “illegal votes.” In reality, the DoJ only sought to have Virginia comply with federal law which prohibits removing voter registrations (not votes as Trump said) within 90 days of an election. That’s because doing so can result in valid registrations being deleted without sufficient notice or time for the voter to re-register. Trump never answered the question about breaking up Google. Nor did mention his threat to prosecute the company for hurting his feelings. And then…

Trump: I call it the weave. [unintelligible] You have the weave as long as you end up in the right location at the end.
Micklethwait: I was asking about tariffs.

In this fantasy, Trump babbles about World War III and his claim to have “knocked out ISIS” which, of course, is still very much in existence and conducting its terror operations. None of that had anything to do with tariffs. And even after Micklethwait tried to bring Trump back to Earth, he still couldn’t give a coherent response. And then…

Micklethwait: I’ve asked about the Federal Reserve.
Trump: You’ve got to be able to finish a thought.
Micklethwait: You’ve gone from the dollar to Macron.
Trump: No, I’m just telling you basic, uh it’s called the weave.

Clearly Trump is incapable of focusing on the subject at hand. And even when he is reminded what the conversation is about, he is unable to contribute anything relevant to the dialog. His remarks are a toxic mixture of ignorance and absurdity. And when he repeatedly refers to what he calls the “weave,” every sane listener just thinks he’s talking about that rat’s nest atop his head. Nobody thinks that spewing gibberish about unrelated matters is a sign of intelligence. Well, nobody other than the glassy-eyed disciples that populate his cult.

Trump, Who Refuses to Release Medical Records, Calls for Kamala Harris to Take a Cognitive Test

Posted by on October 14, 2024 at 3:33 pm. 2 Comments :

When President Biden ended his reelection campaign in July, he elevated Donald Trump to the status of being the oldest person ever to be running for the presidency. And that distinction comes with some of the baggage that weighed on Biden’s campaign before he passed the torch to Kamala Harris. Namely, is there – or should there be – a maximum age to serve as president?

Click here to Tweet this article

Kamala Harris, Donald Trump baby

The answer to that question depends a great deal on the particular candidate. People develop age-related issues at different times as they grow older. However, sometimes the evidence of cognitive decline is apparent to any objective and impartial observer. And if any candidate deserves to be scrutinized as insufficiently capable of carrying out the duties of the presidency, it is Donald Trump.

SEE THIS: TRUMP IS TOAST: The Washington Post’s Laundry List of Trump’s Increasingly Bizarre Claims

Among the psychological syndromes that plague Trump is one known as “projection,” a defense mechanism where someone unconsciously or consciously attributes their own thoughts, feelings, or behaviors onto another person or group. And a clearer description of Trump’s latest attack on Harris would be hard to find. In a late-night post on his floundering Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, Trump lashed out saying that…

“I believe it is very important that Kamala Harris pass a test on Cognitive Stamina and Agility. Her actions have led many to believe that there could be something very wrong with her. Even 60 Minutes and CBS, in order to protect Lyin’ Kamala, illegally and unscrupulously replaced an answer she had given, which was totally ‘bonkers,’ with another answer that had nothing to do with the question asked. Also, she is slow and lethargic in answering even the easiest of questions. We just went through almost four years of that, we shouldn’t have to do it again!”

So Trump, who is unable to get through his cult rallies without wandering off into deranged diversions about the fictional film cannibal, Hannibal Lector, or fears of electrocution in a sea of swarming sharks, thinks that Harris needs to take a cognitive test. That’s the same guy who thinks that his rallies draw ten times as many people as would fit in the venue, but Harris’ rallies that are filled to the rafters are attended by nobody. And it’s the same guy who flaunts fantastical fantasies about migrants eating dogs and cats.

In his comment Trump refers to the 60 Minutes interview that Harris did, and which Trump initially agreed to, but later chickened out. And in his reference he lies about the editing of the segment, even calling it illegal.

MORE HERE: Trump Threatens CBS Over Kamala Harris Interview on 60 Minutes He Says Was ‘Possibly Illegal’

What’s more, Trump’s call for Harris to take a cognitive test ignores the fact that she just released the complete results of her medical exam. This is something that Trump has promised to do, but like his taxes, healthcare plan, infrastructure bill, and so much more, it’s a promise that has gone unfulfilled.

Trump surely has good reasons for refusing to release his medical records. If they had any positive info in them, he would have released them with a huge fanfare weeks ago. So it’s safe to assume there’s something troubling that he needs to hide. And that is behavior that’s consistent with his refusal to do any interviews outside of his MAGA-friendly safety bubble, or participation in another debate with Harris. He’s just plain scared. His staff knows it. And so does the Harris campaign.

Trump’s mental deficiencies have also been noticed by over 250 doctors and health care providers who are now calling on him Trump to release his medical records. In an open letter they wrote that “his refusal to disclose even basic health information is a disservice to the American people.”

“On August 20, Donald Trump said he would ‘very gladly’ release his medical records. In the 55 days since, he has yet to do so. With no recent disclosure of health information from Donald Trump, we are left to extrapolate from public appearances. And on that front, Trump is falling concerningly short of any standard of fitness for office and displaying alarming characteristics of declining acuity.” […]

“We are seeing that from Trump, as he uses his rallies and appearances to ramble, meander, and crudely lash out at his many perceived grievances. He also is notably refusing to give the public the ability to properly vet or scrutinize his capacities. Just last week, he backed out of an interview with 60 Minutes, and he is refusing to debate Vice President Harris again.”

The medical info that Harris release included the results of a neuropsychiatric exam. It is now imperative that Trump take the same tests and release the results. But if anyone is holding their breath waiting for Trump to do that, they might soon be in need on medical attention themselves.

Speaker Johnson Glorifies Dear Leader Trump’s Glorious Health, Rejects Calls for Medical Records

Posted by on October 13, 2024 at 3:47 pm. 7 Comments :

Any rational person who has been paying attention to the MAGA movement led by Donald Trump cannot help but recognize its similarities with cults from the past. He tolerates no dissension from his missionaries in politics and the press. His flock are glassy-eyed disciples who can see no wrong. And he employs the first rule of cults: Only Dear Leader will tell you the Truth. Everyone else is lying.

Trump in Bed, Eating, Sad

The obvious parallels between cults and MAGA should strike fear into the hearts of Americans who value the democratic principles that have formed the foundation of this constitutional republic for 250 years. Trump’s emergence as a demagogic figure threatens to put an end to the freedoms that the American people have enjoyed, and replace them with servitude to the wannabe messiah.

SEE THIS: IT’S A CULT! Poll Shows Republicans Trust Only Criminal Messiah Trump to Tell Them the Truth

On Sunday morning, one of Trump’s most loyal ministers, Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson, was interviewed on NBC’s Meet the Press. And the sermon he delivered there was extraordinarily reverential and bursting with blind devotion. It was a display of unfettered fealty to his salmonesque savior. The exchange began with host Kristen Welker asking Johnson whether Trump should release his medical records – which Johnson said were “irrelevant” – but descended into flagrant lies and worshipful exaltation almost immediately.

Welker: Should Donald Trump release all of his medical records, Mr. Speaker?
Johnson: He has. He issued – he issued the records of his physicians. Kamala Harris issued her medical records as diversion because she’s desperate, because she’s sinking in the polls. Donald Trump’s health is on display. Everyone in America can see it. The man works nonstop. He never quits. He probably sleeps four hours a night. He doesn’t require as much sleep as the average person. He’s an unusual figure. And this is the strength that we need in a time like this. We’re in the most dangerous moment since World War II. You have to have strength. You have to have a steady hand. You have to have a commander-in-chief that our allies respect and our enemies fear. They do not fear Kamala Harris. They do fear Donald Trump. That’s what people are going to vote on.
Welker: Mr. Speaker, just be very clear, he hasn’t released all of his medical records. He released two letters. Should he release the results of the cognitive tests?
Johnson: It’s unnecessary. He’s on display every minute.

There’s a lot of blatant BS to unpack here. Let’s start with Johnson’s barefaced lie that Trump has released his medical records. He has not. Johnson was, however, correct that Kamala Harris did release hers. And not as a diversion (she is currently leading in most polls), but because every presidential candidate for decades – except for Trump – has done so.

The only thing Trump released was an outdated and letter with no details from last year describing a partial physical that did not include cognitive testing, and two letters from disgraced former doctor, Ronny Jackson, who claims that he treated Trump after his “ear death” experience in Pennsylvania. He did not perform a complete physical on Trump at that time. Jackson is currently unlicensed, and was demoted in retirement from the Navy due to misconduct involving drugs and alcohol.

Johnson went on to assert that Trump’s medical records weren’t needed because his perfect health was evident and that “Everyone in America can see it.” That is hardly an alternative to a physical exam by a qualified professional. Trump could have numerous problems that are not visible to laymen watching him on TV, or measurable without laboratory tests. They could include any number of bio-deficiencies or abnormal growths. And certainly any mental defect would require closer scrutiny. Although there has been a great deal of that evident in Trump’s bizarre and incoherent ravings at his rallies and in recent interviews.

Johnson also lauded Trump’s alleged stamina. But boasting that he doesn’t sleep much is more a sign of depravation than fitness. Likewise, claims that America’s enemies “fear Donald Trump” are preposterous. Mostly they laugh at him. If there is any hint of fear it’s due to his mental instability, not his strength or intellect, both of which he is lacking. Which our enemies know and are adept at manipulating him.

Trump’s failure to release his medical records is certainly due to their having bad news in them. If they were positive he would have released them on live TV weeks ago. It’s the same reason he has refused to release his financial and tax records. He is afraid to let the American people see the truth.

Johnson knows all of this, but he is to deeply indoctrinated into the Trump cult to be honest about it. In the meantime, Democrats and other sane Americans need to stay focused on winning in November. It is more imperative now than ever.

Traitor Trump Says that Americans Who Oppose Him are ‘a Bigger Enemy than China and Russia’

Posted by on October 12, 2024 at 1:06 pm. 3 Comments :

If it hasn’t been abundantly obvious where Donald Trump’s loyalties lie, he was thoughtful enough to provide a timely reminder at his recent cult rally in Colorado. It was just the latest example of Trump saying out loud the repugnant opinions percolating in his broken brain bucket.

Click here to Tweet this article

Donald Trump Vladimir Putin

The Colorado clan conference consisted mainly of Trump whining about his crumbling campaign, lying about President Biden and Vice-President Kamala Harris, insulting everyone who he deems insufficiently worshipful, maligning immigrants as monstrous and violent subhumans, and rambling incoherently about indecipherable nonsense. In other words, same old, same old Trump.

SEE THIS: OUCH! Trump’s Flagrant Lies About 14,000 ‘Criminal’ Migrants Gets a Devastating Fact-Check

However, the tediously repetitive playlist that Trump unloads at every one of his rallies does seem to be losing steam with many of the attendees who can be seen leaving while he is still in full rage on the stage. So he will occasionally try to interject something new for his audience that is anxiously awaiting more of his hallmark hate speech.

In the Colorado address, Trump offered up a wide ranging assault on the American people. He made it perfectly plain that he regards his fellow citizens as enemies and America’s enemies as friends. He said that…

“You know, I always say we have the outside enemy. So you can say China. You can say Russia. You can say Kim Jong Un. But that’s not [indecipherable gibberish]. If you have a smart president, no problem. It’s the enemy from within. All the scum that we have to deal with that hate our country. That’s a bigger enemy than China and Russia.”

To be clear, those who Trump describes as “scum” are anyone who disagrees with him or dares to criticize him. This isn’t a new line of attack for Trump. He has always had a vicious animosity toward people who wouldn’t kiss his – let’s say ring. But in these remarks he is explicitly castigating the Americans who he would supposedly be pledging to serve if elected.

At the same time, Trump is minimizing the threat of actual enemies such as China and Russia. Which isn’t surprising considering Trump’s long admiration for their tyrannical leaders that he hopes to emulate. Trump has been a fervent supporter of Vladimir Putin and his invasion of our ally, Ukraine. And Trump is still doing business with China. Even his phony “God Bless America” bibles were produced there for about three bucks each, and resold to his cult for $60.00.

So with Trump declaring that Americans are a bigger threat than China and Russia, he proposes draconian measures to oppress the citizens that he despises. His plans include the construction of concentration camps and mass deportations, even of legal residents. And he continues to disparage democracy with his obsession with the 2020 election that he still says was “rigged and stolen” from him. Consequently, he refuses to say that he will honor the results of the 2024 election.

Sound familiar? It reeks of the fascism of the 1930s that Trump has a great affinity for. And if you need further confirmation of Trump’s leanings, just listen to what Gen. Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff during the Trump administration, said about Trump in the new book “War” by Bob Woodward…

“He is the most dangerous person ever. I had suspicions when I talked to you about his mental decline and so forth, but now I realize he’s a total fascist. He is now the most dangerous person to this country. A fascist to the core.”

It’s hard to add anything to that. So I won’t.

UPDATE: Trump told Maria Bartiromo on Fox News that “the enemy from within [are] sick people, radical left lunatics [that] should be easily handled by, if necessary, by National Guard, or if really necessary, by the military.” So Trump is now promising to use the U.S. military against American citizens who don’t support him.

Trump Now Says that Obama Will Vote for Him – His Dementia is Getting Worse by the Minute

Posted by on October 11, 2024 at 4:13 pm. 1 Comments :

The heartbreak of mental illness has touched millions of lives. And it is even more grievous when the one suffering has no support from family or friends or others who care enough to intervene and seek treatment. In such cases the poor soul is left to wallow in despair while diverging ever farther from reality.

Click here to Tweet this article

Barack Obama, Donald Trump

Such is the case with Donald Trump. He has been noticeably demented for several years. His delusions have overtaken any ability to relate to the real world. It’s what causes him to insist that windmills cause cancer, that hurricanes can be stopped by nuking them, that bleach injections cure COVID, that a few thousand people at his rallies are actually 100,000 or more, and that he is leading in all the polls.

SEE THIS: Trump is Suffering From a Severe Case of Self-Deception on a Level Never Seen Before

On Friday morning Trump posted yet another bizarre claim that vividly illustrates the depth of his dementia. The comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, said that…

“Obama admits a total lack of enthusiasm for Kamala, especially with Black Men. I think Obama will be voting for me because he doesn’t like the fact that Kamala is an extremely Low IQ Person!”

There’s a surprising amount of malarkey in that deceptively brief outburst. Let’s begin with Trump’s preposterous claim that former President Barack Obama “admitted” that Black men have a “total lack of enthusiasm” for Kamala Harris. In fact, a broad majority of Black men (77%) support Harris. What Trump is grossly mangling are remarks Obama made about support by Black men not being equal to the level that he received, which was a bit higher. He merely wanted to motivate even more Black men to get behind Harris than the three quarters that already are.

Secondly, Trump’s prediction that Obama will vote for him due to his flagrantly false claim about Harris supporters, is beyond ridiculous. Just yesterday, Obama gave a rousing speech to tens of thousands of people in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in support of Harris. In what deranged fantasy world would Obama possibly even consider supporting Trump?

Finally, Trump had to tack on another of his infantile insults, calling Harris “an extremely Low IQ Person.” This is nothing new for Trump. He has been saying that about her (and every other person he doesn’t like) for months. But this time he is attributing that opinion to Obama, who obviously has an enormous amount of respect for Harris and her extraordinary abilities and intellect.

MORE HERE: Trump is Losing to Kamala Harris, Who He Says is Dumb, Low IQ – What Does that Say About Trump?

Back here on Earth, Trump is the one who is lacking the support of Black men, and women too for that matter. And if the polls are any indication, he’s falling behind Harris among many other critical voter demographics, including youth and the working class. As for intelligence, Trump can’t hope to compete with Harris, and he knows it. That’s why he has steadfastly refused to meet her in another debate after the first walloping he suffered.

So all Trump is left with is his bucket of lies and ludicrous comments like the one above. And with his cognitive functions declining rapidly, he is destined for a brutal final three weeks of this campaign. So expect him to get even worse as he realizes the desperate straits he is in. Particularly since his his post-election prospects include the distinct possibility of prison.

Tyrant Trump Demands ALL TV News Licenses Be Revoked and Kamala Harris Concede the Election

Posted by on October 10, 2024 at 12:36 pm. 5 Comments :

Ordinarily, a presidential candidate would conduct their campaign in a manner that would amplify his or her most appealing character traits and suppress or minimize those most likely to alienate or repulse voters. But the campaign of Donald Trump is, to say the very least, anything but ordinary.

Click here to Tweet this article

Donald Trump Tyrant Dictator

During his short career in politics, Trump has managed to project an extraordinary variety of repulsive traits. They include his rancid prejudices (racism, misogyny, xenophobia, etc.), his pathetically infantile responses to well deserved criticism, his pitiful ignorance of life in America (government, history, law, culture, etc.), his noxious and delusional narcissism, and perhaps most troubling, his affinity for foreign dictators that mirrors his own authoritarian aspirations. The latter he actually said aloud to his Fox News pal, Sean Hannity…

SEE THIS: Trump Cloddishly Dodges Hannity’s Softball Questions About Whether He Would Be a Dictator

Now, as Election Day draws nearer, Trump is continuing to emphasize the personality defects that repel the most people. In a series of utterly unhinged rants on his floundering Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, Trump lashed out at the media that he despises with rhetoric that confirms his dreams of tyrannical power. It was an absurd extension of his previous outburst threatening to revoke the broadcast license of CBS for airing a 60 Minutes interview of Kamala Harris. Now he is including ALL broadcast networks. He began by bellowing…

“A giant Fake News Scam by CBS & 60 Minutes. Her REAL ANSWER WAS CRAZY, OR DUMB, so they actually REPLACED it with another answer in order to save her or, at least, make her look better. A FAKE NEWS SCAM, which is totally illegal. TAKE AWAY THE CBS LICENSE. Election Interference. She is a Moron, and the Fake News Media wants to hide that fact. An UNPRECEDENTED SCANDAL!!! The Dems got them to do this and should be forced to concede the Election? WOW!”

Needless to say, Trump has no evidence that CBS altered anything that Harris said in the interview, other than routine editing for time. Trump is manifesting figments of his severely perverse imagination. Furthermore, there would be nothing illegal about such editing if it did occur. Consequently, Trump’s demand that Harris “be forced to concede the Election.” is what psychiatrists would describe as “NUTZ!” It’s an impotent demand that Trump is making because he knows that he is losing. But he was just getting started. He continued his rant saying that…

“60 Minutes is a major part of the News Organization of CBS, which has just created the Greatest Fraud in Broadcast History. CBS should lose its license, and it should be bid out to the Highest Bidder, as should all other Broadcast Licenses, because they are just as corrupt as CBS — and maybe even WORSE!”

Once again, CBS did nothing wrong. But Trump’s “solution” to what his diseased brain is concocting is to revoke the licenses of ALL broadcast networks. Because that’s precisely what his idols (Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, Kim Jong Un, etc.) would do. Never mind that networks are not licensed by the federal government, only individual stations. What Trump is proposing is, nevertheless, an open assault on the First Amendment of the Constitution and contrary to American principles. But why would Trump care about that now. He never has before. Then he wound up by saying that…

“With me, 60 Minutes does the exact opposite! They take everything I say, realize how totally BRILLIANT it is, and take it out. So, with Kamala they add, with ‘TRUMP,’ they delete. Like the Democrat Party, THEY ARE A THREAT TO DEMOCRACY!”

Once again, Trump is suffering from bizarre hallucinations. He didn’t do (aka chickened out of) the 60 Minutes interview this week, so there was nothing he said to delete, and certainly nothing that was “brilliant.” Even if he were referring to an interview from 2020, it was Trump who cut it short, walking out before it was completed. Lately he has been demanding that Lesley Stahl apologize to him for something that she never said in that interview.

What Trump is whining about in these comments should be a bright red flag for American voters. Trump is promising that, if returned to power, he would abuse it in the same way that his totalitarian heroes do. And if he would abuse power to oppress the media, he would abuse it to oppress every other institution – and even individuals – that he finds objectionable, or that are insufficiently worshipful of him.

That should be the message that Americans take into the voting booth this year. And they must vote for Harris and Walz if they want to preserve America’s free press and, even more foundational, America’s democracy.

Master Racist Trump Attacks America: ‘We’ve Got a Lot of Bad Genes in Our Country Right Now’

Posted by on October 7, 2024 at 2:01 pm. 4 Comments :

Just when you thought he couldn’t possibly get any worse, Donald Trump proves that we have all underestimated his ability to dispense noxious bigotry and hateful rhetoric aimed at the nation he aspires to rule as a dictator on day one.

Click here to Tweet this article

Donald Trump, Bad Genes

Trump’s overt racism has been a hallmark of his public persona for decades. He famously placed an ad in the New York Times calling for the death penalty for five Black men who were found to be innocent. He discriminated against Black applicants at his apartment properties. He began his campaign for president in 2015 by calling immigrants rapists and murderers. He invited notorious White nationalist Nick Fuentes to dine with him at Mar-a-Lago. And more recently…

THERE WAS THIS: Trump Thanks White Nationalist as a ‘Great Journalist’ for His Sexist Attack on Kamala Harris

While Kamala Harris is being interviewed on a variety of television and social media programs, Trump continues to cower behind the sycophantic MAGA media fluffers who he knows will shield him from any challenging questions or humiliating fact checks.

Case in point, on Monday morning Trump did another phone-in chat from his Mar-a-Lago bunker, in his jammies. This time he spoke with right-wing radio hack, Hugh Hewitt. The entire interview was an affirmation of Trump’s ignorance, ego, and deliberate divisiveness. However, he peaked as the discussion turned to immigration, a subject that Trump eagerly assaults with flagrant falsehoods and putrid prejudice.

Trump led into his repugnant remarks with a preface attacking Kamala Harris in terms that have become a tediously routine part of his cult rallies and stump speeches. He raged that…

“She wants to go into government housing. She wants to go into government feeding. She wants to feed people. She wants to feed people governmentally. She wants she wants to go into a Communist Party-type system. When you look at the things that she proposes, they’re so far off. She has no clue.”

OMG! Harris actually wants to feed disadvantaged Americans, including children, who are struggling to overcome the price gouging of the capitalist corporations that Trump favors. What a monster! In Trump’s perverse mind Harris is therefore a {gasp} “Communist.” Why doesn’t she stick to letting her fellow citizens starve, like good MAGA Republicans would do?

Trump went on to repeat a boatload of lies about migrants that he and his crackpot confederates have been telling for several weeks. These are a particular brand of lies intended to malign and dehumanize good people who are desperate to make a better life for themselves. Trump fumed…

“How about allowing people to come to an open border, 13,000 of which were murderers, many of them murdered far more than one person, and they’re now happily living in the United States. You know, now a murderer — I believe this — it’s in their genes. And we got a lot of bad genes in our country right now. You know, now a murderer, I believe this, it’s in their genes. And we’ve got a lot of bad genes in our country right now.”

If Trump is truly concerned about genes, he may want to take a look at his own genetic history. First of all, he is descended from German stock. So is he genetically aligned with Nazis? His father was a KKK member. So does that explain his own racial bigotry? Both the Nazis and the Klan are advocates of violence to achieve their ends. So is that why Trump so often incites violence himself?

The allegation that Trump is making here about immigrants and crime has been thoroughly debunked. His disinformation was drawn from a report that he said reveals shocking statistics. However, as News Corpse reported last month…

Trump, as usual, is lying. As Politico reports, “The majority of these individuals with criminal convictions were already on the non-detained docket and living in the United States before Biden took office.” The “14,000” is actually the total for a period of some 40 years. The number increased by only 5% during Biden’s term. And the increase that occurred during Trump’s term was nearly twice as much.

What’s more, according to Politico’s research, “The numbers also include nonviolent and petty crime — 126,000 are for traffic violations, while 92,000 are for immigration-related crimes (like crossing the border illegally).”

MORE HERE: OUCH! Trump’s Flagrant Lies About 14,000 ‘Criminal’ Migrants Gets a Devastating Fact-Check

Trump’s remarks about genetic predisposition to crime is an old trope employed by racist regimes. As is his embrace of violence. Trump not only incited a deadly insurrection on January 6th, 2021, he has frequently employed the rhetoric of violence to intimidate and fear monger. And this isn’t just remnants from the past. He did it again this past weekend…

UPDATE: White House Press Secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, was asked about Trump’s vile remarks and gave a moving response…

Kamala Harris is Blitzing Media that Donald Trump is Too Afraid of To Do

Posted by on October 6, 2024 at 1:04 pm. NO Comments :

On July 21, 2024, President Biden made the courageous, selfless, and patriotic decision to withdraw from the presidential election and endorse his Vice-President, Kamala Harris. It was a decision that dramatically altered the political landscape and set the stage for a historic race and, if successful, America’s first woman to serve as President.

Donald Trump, Newspapers, Baby, Hate

From the day that Harris became the Democratic candidate, Donald Trump and his MAGA Republicans in politics and the press embarked on a vicious campaign of slander and deceit in an effort to drag down her favorability with voters (which hasn’t worked). And the MAGA media was instrumental in that coordinated campaign of character assassination…

SEE THIS: Crybaby Trump Tells Fox News that They Should Only Put on Sycophantic Trump-Fluffers

Much of the criticism that emanated from the Trump camp centered on the allegation that Harris was avoiding interviews with the press. The Trumpists, and especially Trump himself, accused her of having a “low IQ” and being too “stupid” to engage the press. These are the sort of typically infantile insults that are the hallmark of Trump’s stunted emotional state.

To be sure, Harris was not prioritizing such events in the early days of her campaign. But it wasn’t due to any lack of ability or intellect. It was because she had just become a candidate with an unusually compressed time line leading up to Election Day.

Now that some of the pressures from building a campaign team, managing the Democratic Party convention, and participating in debates, has eased, Harris is scheduling more media avails. This week it was announced that she will be interviewed on “The View;” she will guest on “Late Night with Stephen Colbert;” she will visit with Howard Stern; she will be interviewed on Univision; and she will appear on the traditional “60 Minutes” pre-election episode.

This is a media blitz that is well-timed with only a month to go before Election Day, and while early voting has already begun in some states. And it is likely just the beginning.

Trump on the other hand, is continuing to shelter himself in his Mar-a-Lago bunker. He only leaves to hold his cult rallies in safe communities before his glassy-eyed disciples. What media he engages in is limited to MAGA-friendly outlets like Fox News, Newsmax, and obscure podcasts hosted by fringe characters with extremist views. And even those bookings are phone-in affairs that he can conduct in his jammies in his Palm Beach home/hotel.

It is notable that the media with whom Harris is meeting this week are broadly popular programs that reach millions of Americans. And with the exception of Colbert, they are not particularly partisan. They are, however, precisely the sort of press that frightens Trump. “The View” is a show hosted by outspoken women from both sides of the aisle. And Trump hates women. Trump also hates comedy, so the Colbert and Stern bookings would scare the pants off of him.

Trump also hates people of color, so Univision won’t be on his agenda. And while Trump initially agreed to do “60 Minutes,” he later chickened out, because it’s actually a hard news program, which he hates with a passion.

Now that Harris is making herself more available to the press, and Trump is cowering in his whine cellar, will the media abandon its portrayal of Harris as being averse to interviews? Will they accurately point out that it is Trump who trembles with fear at the thought of meeting the press? Or even meeting with Harris for another debate?

Time will tell. But with Election Day coming soon there isn’t much time to correct the false impressions that the media has been spewing for weeks. And the past performance of the press this year is less than impressive. Sadly, they appear to be just as afraid of Trump as he is of them.

UPDATE 10/15/2024: In the week that has passed since this published, Harris has continued to schedule more interviews with a broad variety of media, including Fox News. Trump, on the other hand, has remained in his MAGA-fied bunker. He did a town hall hosted by GOP governor, Kristi Noem. And he just canceled an interview with CNBC, which has been a friendly spot for him.

Trump FREAKS OUT Over Jack Smith’s Documentation of His Crimes – But Doesn’t Dispute Any of It

Posted by on October 3, 2024 at 11:57 am. 1 Comments :

The incompetence and ignorance of Donald Trump has been on public display for many years (decades?) now. The monumental failures in his business affairs, political pursuits, and personal life have become legendary. However, there is one area where he has been remarkably successful: Delaying legal accountability for his multitude of crimes.

Donald Trump, coronavirus

Trump has already been convicted of 34 felonies. But that’s just the tip of his illegality iceberg. He still has 54 felony charges pending. And there are also the civil offenses that he has been found liable for, including financial fraud and sexual assault. There are so many legal quandaries that he has to sidestep that he sometimes loses track of his excuses and deflections…

SEE THIS: WHOA! Did Trump Just Admit that He’s Guilty and is Whining that He Couldn’t Make a Plea Deal?

On Wednesday the federal court in D.C. unsealed a filing by Special Counsel Jack Smith in the case involving Trump’s criminal participation in the January 6th insurrection and associated efforts to undermine democracy. The filing is a 165 page document containing damning evidence of Trump’s treasonous guilt and callous amorality.

The filing features, in part, Trump reportedly saying “So what?” after being told that Mike Pence was in danger at the Capitol; his disregard for election results, telling his daughter Ivanka that “It doesn’t matter if you won or lost the election, you still have to fight like hell;” and his staff advocating violence to prevent Joe Biden from being certified as the winner, saying to “Make them riot.”

In response to this bombshell legal brief, Trump took to his failing social media megaphone, Truth Social, to make a wholly impotent case for his innocence. There’s just one problem. He didn’t bother to actually make a case at all…

“Democrats are Weaponizing the Justice Department against me because they know I am WINNING, and they are desperate to prop up their failing Candidate, Kamala Harris. The DOJ pushed out this latest ‘hit job’ today because JD Vance humiliated Tim Walz last night in the Debate. The DOJ has become nothing more than an extension of Joe’s, and now Kamala’s, Campaign. This is egregious PROSECUTORIAL MISCONDUCT, and should not have been released right before the Election. The Democrat Party is turning America into a Third World Country that tries to censor, harass, and intimidate their Political Opponents. What they have done to our Justice System is one of the Great, All Time, Tragedies.”

It is difficult to ignore the fact that there is nothing in that rant – or the other six posts he made on this subject – that actually claims that he’s innocent. He doesn’t even bother to dispute the factual findings in the filing. His entire defense is to just whine about alleged election interference, weaponizing government, polls, the debate, prosecutorial misconduct, and timing. All of which he manages to get completely wrong.

It is not election interference to submit legal documents in a case that has been ongoing for months. It is not weaponizing government because there is no proof of any political influence in the filing. It is preposterous to cite his debate with Kamala Harris as having anything to do with this action by the court. Likewise, it’s absurd to bring up election polls, most of which show him trailing Harris. And Trump’s allegation of prosecutorial misconduct is unsupported by any facts – or reality.

Finally, Trump’s complaint about the timing of the filing ignores the fact that the timing was all his doing. This could have been all wrapped up months ago, but for Trump seeking multiple delays that have resulted in the filing coming at this time.

The delay tactics by Trump are actually another indication of his consciousness of guilt. An innocent person would have wanted his name to be cleared as quickly as possible. But Trump knows that he’s guilty, so he has been determined to put off his inevitable convictions in the hopes of getting reelected and dispensing with the cases and/or pardoning himself.

But Trump failed to think it through. And he underestimated Smith. So now he’s crying about a variety of legally irrelevant issues that can’t possibly help him to avoid his dire future. Of course, all of this rests on Harris prevailing in November. So it’s up to the American people to turn out for the rule of law, for democracy, and for the well being of every citizen on so many other issues. LFG!

Moving the Needle: The Vance v Walz Debate Firmly Established that Trump is Full of $#IT

Posted by on October 2, 2024 at 12:37 pm. 1 Comments :

Historically, vice-presidential debates have had little impact on the outcome of an election. They serve mainly as an opportunity to showcase the judgment of the presidential candidate in choosing a competent, qualified partner, and potential successor. And on that scale, Kamala Harris hit one out of the park.

Donald Trump, JD Vance, Dr. Evil, Mini-Me

The much anticipated face-off between Gov. Tim Walz and Sen. JD Vance provided an excellent display of the personnel decision making capabilities of their respective bosses. Harris chose someone with experience, honesty, and moral character. And Donald Trump chose a cheap replica of himself, with the same shameless facility for disseminating falsehoods as his master, who has made a career of it.

The likelihood that this debate will defy history and change the course of the campaign is minimal. But it is not nonexistent. There is a possibility that the needle could be moved a point or two, which is all that’s needed to affect the result of a close race. And Vance seemed to be doing his best to achieve that movement, but in favor of his opponent, Gov. Walz.

In a debate where there was little that would be remembered afterward, Vance managed to come away with most of the memorable moments. For instance…

Walz directly asked Vance whether Trump had lost the election in 2020. A simple question that Vance was unable to answer.

Vance brought up the Affordable Care Act (aka ObamaCare), saying that Trump had “salvaged” it when it was “doing disastrously.” In reality, Trump had repeatedly tried to repeal the broadly popular plan and, having failed to do so, reduced its promotion budget and shortened the open enrollment period in an attempt to sabotage it. He never had an alternative proposal despite numerous promises to deliver one.

Vance claimed to have never supported a national abortion ban, despite being on record saying literally that “I certainly would like abortion to be illegal nationally.”

Vance tried to erase his now infamous comments about legal Haitian migrants eating cats and dogs. Then he whined about being fact-checked and, in an effort to redeem himself, he lied some more about an immigration statute that had nothing to do with the Haitian migrants.

Vance engaged in some flagrant revisionist history, asserting that Trump respected the traditional peaceful transfer of power after his loss in 2020. Apparently Vance forgot about the deadly January 6th insurrection that was incited by Trump, who still praises those convicted as patriots and promises to pardon them.

There was quite a bit more that Vance distorted, such as his silence on Trump labeling climate change a hoax, and Trump’s pledge to have legally and economically destabilizing mass deportations of immigrants, and Trump’s neglect to respond to Iranian attacks on U.S. soldiers.

For his part, Trump’s live “truthing” of the debate consisted entirely of insults, allegations of bias, and empty declarations of imaginary victory, but not a single fact. Meanwhile, the primary surrogate for his campaign, Vance, was pitifully inept and even counterproductive. That might cause a rational candidate to reconsider offers to engage in further debates. However, Trump is standing firm on his cowardly refusal to debate Harris again. He posted a fear drenched rant on his floundering social media scam, Truth Social, saying that…

“Lyin’ Kamala just put out a request for another Debate because they lost so badly tonight…and I’m not looking to do it again, too far down the line. Votes are already cast — And I’m leading BIG in the Polls.”

Of course, Walz did not lose the debate with Vance. And it is hardly to late for Trump to debate Harris again. Trump debated in late October in both his 2016 and 2020 races. And finally, Trump is not “leading BIG in the polls.” In fact, he isn’t leading at all. He is trailing Harris in nearly every recent poll. Which is just another blatant lie that certifies him as the master of mendacity and misinformation. It’s a distinction that he will likely retain for many years to come.
