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

Posted by on March 3, 2026 at 12:16 pm. 0 Comments :

On April 25, 2026, the annual White House Correspondents Dinner (WHCD) will be held to bring together members of the press and the Washington politicians they cover. It’s often an awkward convergence of people that have a naturally – and perhaps appropriately – averse relationship with one another.

Donald Trump TV Set

The WHCD routinely invites the sitting President of the United States to be a guest every year. And every that Trump occupied the White House, he refused the invitation. Until now. After years of insulting and demeaning the media, Trump is going to sit down with those that he calls, in Stalinist terms, “the enemy of the people.” And his flagrant hostility to the free press is engraved in his psyche…

SEE THIS: HOLY CR*P! Trump Floats Executive Order to Dictate to TV Networks What They Are Allowed to Air

This year Trump announced on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, that he would grace the dinner with his glorious presence for the first time as president. In his typical overly verbose babbling, he wrote that…

“The White House Correspondents Association has asked me, very nicely, to be the Honoree at this year’s Dinner, a long and storied tradition since it began in 1924, under then President Calvin Coolidge. In honor of our Nation’s 250th Birthday, and the fact that these ‘Correspondents’ now admit that I am truly one of the Greatest Presidents in the History of our Country, the G.O.A.T., according to many, it will be my Honor to accept their invitation, and work to make it the GREATEST, HOTTEST, and MOST SPECTACULAR DINNER, OF ANY KIND, EVER! Because the Press was extraordinarily bad to me, FAKE NEWS ALL, right from the beginning of my First Term, I boycotted the event, and never went as Honoree. However, I look forward to being with everyone this year. Hopefully, it will be something very Special. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP”

There’s a steaming pile of bullpucky in that ridiculous comment. Let’s begin with Trump’s claim that he was asked “to be the Honoree.” Nowhere in the White House Correspondents’ invitation did they ever say or imply that Trump would be the honoree. He was simply asked because he’s the president, just like every president before him.

Furthermore, Trump’s assertion that the “Correspondents’ now admit that I am truly one of the Greatest Presidents in the History of our Country,” is a figment of his overactive imagination. It’s highly unlikely that anyone in the WHCA has ever said anything close to that.

What’s more, Trump’s boast that his participation might make this year’s dinner “the GREATEST, HOTTEST, and MOST SPECTACULAR DINNER, OF ANY KIND, EVER!” is laughable. He made the same preposterous boast about his hosting of the Kennedy Center Honors, and his State of the Union, that turned out to be the lowest rated in a quarter of a century.

Of course, he managed to slip in his seething hatred of the media saying that “the Press was extraordinarily bad to me, FAKE NEWS ALL.” It wouldn’t take a mind reader to know that’s how Trump feels. Although, the WHCA also announced that their featured entertainer this year is mentalist Oz Pearlman, who they say “will offer a fascinating glimpse into what’s truly on the minds of Washington’s newsmakers.” That actually sounds kind of scary.

Perhaps one of the reasons that Trump boycotted the dinner for so long was what happened the last time he attended as a guest in 2011. That year Trump was the subject of mocking by President Barack Obama. He had jokes about Trump’s birther fixation, his background as a reality TV game show host, and his flaming narcissism. Trump was not amused. See for yourself.

It’s a bit of a stretch for the WHCA president this year, Weijia Jiang of CBS News, to say that this event will be “a dinner that celebrates the First Amendment. With Trump on the dais? And particularly after CBS has been acquired by the Trump-fluffing billionaires, David and Larry Ellison?

In past years the president in attendance delivered a speech before the dinner guests. Presumably Trump will do the same. And also presumably, it will be a rehashing of his standard cult rally address that is comprised mainly of insulting the media, attacking his political foes, exalting himself, and always lying about everything. Which should guarantee that the audience will tune out in droves.

Trump Reveals His OCD (Obama Compulsive Disorder) Played a Role in Launching a War Against Iran

Posted by on March 2, 2026 at 2:19 pm. 2 Comments :

Among the most prominent and recognizable character flaws of Donald Trump is the notorious tenderness of his fragile feelings. His emotional stability has long been observed by psychiatric professionals who have written books about it, such as “The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 37 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President.”

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

Barack Obama, Donald Trump

These flaws have never been more apparent than in Trump’s current declaration of war against Iran. It’s a war of choice for which he failed to get the constitutionally required consent of Congress, and for which he has conspicuously avoided providing any rational justification to the American people. To the contrary, he has offered up some weak and factually baseless assertations of Iran posing an “imminent threat.”

But that’s not all. Trump also suggested that he was motivated by a bizarre personal vengeance for what he believes were attempts by Iran to interfere with the 2020 presidential election. For the record, the only evidence to support that claim points to Iran and Russia interfering to help, not harm, Trump’s electoral prospects.

SEE THIS: Trump Just Posted the Real Reason that He Started a War with Iran, and It’s Truly Insane

On Monday morning Trump added another conspiracy to the theoretical stew. During a press conference that he held ostensibly to give the American people his reasons for starting another war in the Middle East, Trump dropped this bombshell…

“I was very proud to have knocked out the Iran nuclear deal by president Barack Hussein Obama. That was a horrible, horrible, dangerous document. They would have had nuclear weapons three years ago. And they would have used them.”

So now Trump’s motivation can be simply described as Obama Envy. Or perhaps OCD (Obama Compulsive Disorder). It’s an acute malady that Trump has been suffering from for years.

Trump’s fixation on blaming Obama for everything is nothing new. And it’s always ridiculous in the extreme. However, in this matter he goes totally off the charts. What Trump is saying that he is proud of is that he tore up an agreement that the Obama administration had signed with Iran to end their nuclear aspirations. Iran was keeping in complete compliance with the agreement according to the independent International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). That is, until Trump ditched it.

Then Trump, the alleged author of “The Art of the Deal,” failed to make another deal, resulting in his decision to call out the Air Force to begin the bombing missions that have already killed hundreds of innocent Iranians and lost three American fighter jets.

Trump’s claim that Iran “would have had nuclear weapons three years ago. And they would have used them,” is a complete fabrication from his severely impaired cartoon brain. And it’s remarkable that anyone would take his babbling seriously, considering he’s the same guy who repeatedly – and incorrectly – predicted that Obama was going to start a war with Iran.

ACCORDING TO TRUMP: He predicted that President Obama would start a war with Iran…? To show how tough he is.? To get elected.? Because he couldn't negotiate.FOR THE RECORD: Obama never started a war with Iran. Instead, he got Iran to agree to end their nuclear weapons programs.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-03-02T20:13:37.012Z

The only truth in these comments by Trump is that they expose his manic and relentless preoccupation with Obama. It’s fair to assume that this played a part in his wartime decision making. Along with his need to deflect from his unsavory relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, and his hopes of juicing his historically abysmal polls, and perhaps as a predicate for his interfering with the upcoming midterm elections.

The one thing we can be certain of, is that it has nothing to do with any realistic threat from Iran. And a majority of the American people oppose his war mongering: “Overall, 59% of Americans disapprove of the initial decision to strike Iran, with 41% approving.” In short, Trump is by far the more imminent threat to America.

WTHolyF? Trump Falls for Phony Meme Saying Obama Received Millions in Royalties for Obamacare

Posted by on November 9, 2025 at 12:11 pm. 0 Comments :

Anyone who hasn’t yet figured out that Donald Trump is a world-class imbecile who is pitifully incapable of grasping the obvious – or reality – probably still believes in the tooth fairy and needs to sew their name into their hat to remember what it is. In other words, they would be MAGA cult followers.

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

Barack Obama, Donald Trump

The dangerous dimwittedness of Trump puts America and all of its inhabitants at risk every day. It is particularly evident during a crisis such as the current Trump Shutdown that has resulted in millions of Americans being deprived of critical aid for food, just because Trump and his Republican minions are determined to make them pay more for healthcare.

SEE THIS: Trump’s New Plan to Kill Obamacare Would Cost People More and Make Insurance Companies Richer

Consequently, it shouldn’t come as surprise that Trump spent this Sunday morning posting a flurry of deranged comments related to his obsessions with voter ID (i.e. suppression), the divine glory of tariffs, and killing Obamacare. And with regard to the latter, Trump thought it would bolster his arguments by posting a meme that alleged that President Obama has been profiting from his namesake healthcare program. The meme said…

“BREAKING: DOGE halts yearly payment of $2.5 million to Barack Obama for ‘royalties linked to Obamacare.’ Obama has collected this payment since 2010, for a total of $40 million in taxpayer dollars.”

Trump is trying to shift responsibility for the government shutdown (and denial of medical coverage) to the Democrats by attacking Obamacare.Obviously, the post below is flat false. Obama hasn’t earned royalties from the Affordable Care Act. But it goes to show how desperate Trump is to distract.

— Tom Joscelyn (@tomjoscelyn.bsky.social) 2025-11-09T17:12:02.289Z

Trump added his own commentary that consisted of the single exclamation “WOW!” Wow, indeed. That would be a shocking revelation, except for one little thing. It isn’t true. In fact, it was originally posted by a satirical website with its own disclaimer saying that “Everything on this website is fiction. It is not a lie and it is not fake news because it is not real. If you believe that it is real, you should have your head examined.”

Apparently that admonition was insufficient for Trump, who recently did have his head examined. He had a “perfect” MRI for reasons that have never been explained. But medical professionals say that it is rarely prescribed without some diagnostic concern to probe. It could have been to check whether or not Trump was suffering from the sort of cognitive decline that would cause him to believe the preposterous meme that he posted.

Trump: I got an MRI. It was perfect. We had an MRI, and the machine, you know, the whole thing, and it was perfect. The doctors said some of the best reports for the age, some of the best reports they've ever seen

— FactPost (@factpostnews.bsky.social) 2025-10-27T13:27:30.272738111Z

For the record, the meme has roots that go back several years. FactCheck.org researched it in February of this year and published their findings, saying that…

“In recent days, some social media posts have repeated a fabricated claim that DOGE had halted millions in supposed royalty payments to former President Barack Obama. […] But the claim that the former president had been receiving royalty payments for the health care law he championed was the invention of America’s Last Line of Defense, or ALLOD, which publishes fabricated political stories and claims on its websites and social media pages that it describes as satirical.”

Throughout his occupation of the White House, Trump has been a perpetual source of embarrassment to the nation and humiliation to himself and his party. And just when you think that he has descended to depths that could never be lower, he manages to prove that his ability to plummet ever farther into the bowels of the abhorrent has been grossly underestimated. That’s his superpower.

OH NO! MAGA Mouthpiece Mike Johnson Declares that it’s ‘The End of the Democratic Party’

Posted by on October 27, 2025 at 2:54 pm. 0 Comments :

The Donald Trump Shutdown of the United States government is approaching a new milestone as it nears a month of failing to accomplish a core responsibility of governing. It is nearing the record for a shutdown (35 days) that was set by Trump during his first term. Throughout this time Trump and his MAGA Republicans in Congress have desperately sought to shift the blame to their Democratic colleagues who are are in the minority.

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

Donald Trump and Mike Johnson

Leading the crusade of disinformation is the GOP Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, who has single handedly closed the House of Representatives even though there is no reason that the House can’t be in session and get critical work done while federal government agencies are shuttered. The Senate is open for business. But Johnson doesn’t really want the shutdown to end for political reasons, and he has said so explicitly…

SEE THIS: MAGA Mike Johnson Admits that the Shutdown is ‘Something that We’ve All Always Wanted to Do’

What’s more, Johnson is also exploiting the shutdown in order to avoid swearing in newly elected Democratic representative Adelita Grijalva, who would provide the final signature necessary to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files that Trump is so terrified of becoming public.

Consequently, Johnson is pulling out all the stops to protect the Epstein pedophiles, including Trump, and to spread the most vile slander about Democrats that can muster. A couple of weeks ago Johnson was attacking Democrats, and millions of Americans who participated in the “No Kings” demonstrations, as “terrorists.” But now he is maniacally upping the ante by announcing the total demise of the Democratic Party. In a Monday morning press briefing, Johnson railed that…

“What we’re witnessing is truly the end of the Democratic Party as we’ve known it. And even some Democrats are saying that out loud. You can see it in their interviews. I watched one last night.

“All of this is directly related to the Democrats’ shutdown show. Why? Because just like they decided to save their own skin, that they had to endorse the Marxist Mamdani in an unprecedented move, they have also decided that they had to shutdown the government in an unprecedented move, no matter the pain that inflicts on the hard working American people. They are simply more afraid of the Marxists in their party than they are of voters.”

There’s a surprising quantity of flat out idiocy in that brief oratory. Let’s begin with the fact that the Democratic Party is very much alive. In fact, it is polling better than Republicans, particularly on the shutdown, with 45% blaming the Republicans and only 39% pointing to the Democrats. And while Johnson claims that he has seen Democrats saying their party is dead, he doesn’t name names. But that’s only because he’s lying.

Johnson went on to malign the leading candidate for mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani, as a Marxist. Which is another lie that he and his fellow GOP Republicans are chanting in lockstep unison like good little fascists.

Finally, Johnson perpetuates the lie that Democrats are responsible for the pain being inflicted on the American people by the shutdown that has been orchestrated by Republicans. They are the majority party in both the House and the Senate. Their party leader is occupying the White House. It is their responsibility to negotiate a bipartisan deal that serves the best interests of all Americans.

Johnson, however, won’t consider doing that because he is the one who is more afraid of Dear Leader than of the voters. Johnson, in the fashion of history’s most notorious political servants to dictators, has completely abdicated his role as Speaker of the House to his master, Donald the Trump. And to make his humiliation even more pronounced, Johnson posted a video of President Obama blasting Republicans for shutting down the government during his term. But Johnson doesn’t realize that Obama’s arguments are even more damning now to today’s Republicans…

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

Posted by on October 13, 2025 at 2:24 pm. NO Comments :

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

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

Donald Trump

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Trump’s Intel Boss Can’t Cite Any Evidence Tying Obama to Her Phony ‘Russia Hoax’ on Fox News

Posted by on August 6, 2025 at 1:52 pm. NO Comments :

The past few weeks have seen Donald Trump and his Garrulous Gaslight Gang scampering frantically to shift America’s attention from his abhorrent and aberrant relationship with child sex traffickers, Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, to anything else. They have thrown everything including the kitchen sink into this mission of mercenary misinformation and malice.

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

Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin

The panic sweat is dripping from the brows of the Trump flunkies as they try to peddle their all too obvious distractions. They run the gamut from trivialities like the wholly concocted controversies about the jeans of Sydney Sweeney, to the inflation inducing Trump taxes (aka tariffs), to more disturbing and utterly bogus allegations of treason by President Obama and others.

SEE THIS: Trump’s DNI and Fox News Manufacture a New Crackpot Conspiracy Theory Accusing Obama of Treason

What the Trump regime operatives are calling the “Russia Hoax” has taken center stage, as they flock to Fox News every day to spread their blatant nonsense. And leading the charge is Trump’s Director of National Intelligence, and bona fide Russian asset, Tulsi Gabbard. On Tuesday night Gabbard visited with Fox News Trump-fluffer, Laura Ingraham, who asked a surprisingly relevant question. But predictably, she didn’t get anything resembling a coherent answer…

Ingraham: You said there was irrefutable evidence that Obama was the mastermind of this intelligence manipulation and the perpetuation of the Russia Hoax. What is that irrefutable evidence for our viewers tonight?
Gabbard: Laura, you know, as you were playing those clips of these people like Morning Joe [Scarborough] seemingly befuddled, saying that by no account is any of this true. I would challenge them to see if they’ve actually read the documents, every single page of the documents that we’ve released over the last couple of weeks.

Whereupon, Gabbard invited the Fox News viewers to read a bunch of garbage that she posted online. As if they would – or can – read. But she didn’t bother to provide any of the allegedly “irrefutable evidence” that Ingraham asked for. All of the information that she has presented previously – online or on the air – has been entirely devoid of any factual basis.

Nevertheless, Gabbard went on to tell Ingraham that the online docs would reveal “how President Obama directed that a National Security Council meeting be called to talk about Russia.” She claimed that Obama tasked his Intel staff to alter the substance of their reporting on Russia’s well documented interference in the 2016 presidential election. Then she continued, brazenly lying that…

“Per the president’s direction, per the president’s order, and very specifically, they were tasked to create an intelligence assessment that detailed how Moscow tried to influence the election – not if, but how. And this was the beginning of this manufactured intelligence assessment where they knowingly wrote things in this assessment that were false.”

To reiterate, Gabbard has still not fulfilled Ingraham’s request for some actual evidence. But now she is asserting, without any proof, that Obama and his staff altered and released falsified data. Not only was the data not false, it was corroborated by the Senate Intelligence Committee five years ago when it was chaired by Republicans, including Trump’s current Secretary of State, Marco Rubio. The bipartisan Committee report said that…

“…the Russian government engaged in an aggressive, multifaceted effort to influence, or attempt to influence, the outcome of the 2016 presidential election. […] Moscow’s intent was to harm the Clinton Campaign, tarnish an expected Clinton presidential administration, help the Trump Campaign after Trump became the presumptive Republican nominee, and undermine the U.S. democratic process.”

Even Gabbard’s own comments suggest that the Obama did nothing wrong. She notes that Obama asked that the reports include how “Moscow tried to influence the election – not if, but how.” She’s implying that there is something untoward about that. But it’s only because the “if” was not in doubt. Russia definitely tried to influence the election. Obama wanted to make sure that their methods (the “how”) were also included in the report. That’s real honesty and transparency.

For his part, Trump helped to keep all of this in the news with a new comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. In what appears to be his transcript of what Gabbard said on Fox News, Trump wrote that…

“Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard: ‘Obama directed that a National Security Council meeting be called… They were tasked to create an Intelligence Assessment that detailed how Moscow tried to influence the election—not ‘if’—but ‘how’… They knowingly wrote things in this assessment that were false.'”

If nothing else, we have additional confirmation that Trump spends an inordinate amount of his time watching his minions talk about him on Fox News. However, the truly troubling aspects of this go much deeper. Just in the past week we have seen the weaponizing of the law by Trump’s Justice Department and his MAGA contingent in Congress.

Trump’s Attorney Genuflect, Pam Bondi has launched “a grand jury investigation of whether Obama administration officials committed federal crimes when they assessed Russia’s actions during the 2016 election.” And GOP Oversight Committee chair, James Comer, has issued subpoenas for depositions from Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, James Comey, Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, Merrick Garland, Robert Mueller, William Barr, Jeff Sessions and Alberto Gonzales.

So Bondi and Comer are joining Gabbard in the quest for evidence-free persecution of Democrats and other critics of Dear Leader Trump. None of them actually present any of their imaginary evidence. But they bellow about it publicly in an attempt to get their cult followers and the media to pay attention to their fabrications. And of course, to draw attention away from Epstein and Maxwell and Trump.

The good news is that it isn’t working. The American people – including many Trump supporters – still want the truth to be revealed. They aren’t buying the misdirection tactics. And the pathetic and desperate determination of the Trumpists just makes them look all the more ridiculous.

The King of Conspiracy Theories Whines that Democrats Don’t Talk Enough About How Awesome He Is

Posted by on July 27, 2025 at 2:12 pm. NO Comments :

There has never been a time in American politics when the prominence of crackpot conspiracy theories and their purveyors has been more closely associated with widely distributed media and high ranking government officials, including the current Crackpot-in-Chief, Donald Trump. The promotion of these former fringe dwellers to the mainstream of right-wing politics is having a noticeably deleterious effect on modern culture.

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

Donald Trump, Snowflakes

Nowhere is that effect more evident than in and around Trump and his fellow fruitcakes. It is often said that every allegation that Trump makes against others is a confession of his own crimes and misconduct. And Trump’s relentless attacks on Democrats, the media, foreign leaders, and even his own MAGA and GOP comrades, is further proof of just how deranged he has become. For instance…

SEE THIS: Trump Says He Doesn’t Want His Past ‘Weakling’ Supporters Who Bought Into the ‘BS’ Epstein Hoax

In a profoundly bizarre press conference with the European Commission President, Ursula von der Leyen, Trump repeatedly wandered off into unrelated tangents. His mental acuity is so damaged that he is unable to focus on any subject in detail for more than a few seconds. During one of these schizoid detours, Snowflake Trump complained that it is Democrats who are obsessed with conspiracy theories. Trump raged that…

“Our country was dead. We had a dead country. Because of an incompetent president and incompetent Democrats. All they know how to do is talk and think about conspiracy theories and nonsense. If they’d waste their time talking about America being great again, it would be so much nicer, so much easier.”

First of all, what Trump is describing as a dead country was anything but that. The economy was booming. Job creation was at record levels. And our international allies respected us. President Biden had restored the health and prosperity of the nation following Trump’s failures and his deadly mismanagement of the COVID pandemic.

More to the point. Trump’s accusation that the only things that Democrats want to talk about are “conspiracy theories and nonsense” is not only untrue, it’s a description of Trump’s rhetorical fixations. Recently Trump has been spewing nonsense about his relationship with child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, while making multiple, contradictory excuses for why he refuses to release the files in the custody of his Justice Department.

Furthermore, in a flagrant attempt to deflect from the Epstein matter, Trump and his crew have fabricated a ludicrous conspiracy that they say was orchestrated by President Obama to charge Russia with election interference. Those charges, however, were well documented and even agreed to by Republicans, including Trump’s Secretary of State, Marco Rubio.

MORE HERE: Trump’s DNI and Fox News Manufacture a New Crackpot Conspiracy Theory Accusing Obama of Treason

Trump is the unchallenged King of Conspiracy Theories. In the past he championed the lies that Obama was a Muslim born in Kenya. He advocated the death penalty for five Black men who were falsely accused of murder. And his present adventures in conspiratorial intrigue even devolve into preposterous matters such as his demented preoccupation with the menacing horror of windmills that he promises to protect us all from.

ON WINDMILLS…TRUMP: Windmills are killing us!DON QUIXOTE: More than thirty monstrous giants appear…and it is a great service to God to wipe such a wicked brood from the face of the earthTrump is INSANE!

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-07-27T16:34:52.137Z

Trump’s petulant whining about windmills is a heaping pile of bullpucky. He complains about them ruining the scenery, producing energy that is too expensive, being built only in China, and rotting in the fields. All of which are gross misrepresentations of reality. In the past he has said that they cause cancer, kill birds, and make whales go insane. More recently he lied that there are no windmills in China.

It remains one of the great mysteries of modern times how anyone can believe anything that Trump says, or support him as a leader. And it says something acutely depressing about a certain small segment of the American electorate. But on a positive note, Trump’s fumbling on the Epstein affair might just be shaking some of his cult followers out of their trance. Keep hope alive.

Trump White House Whines About ‘Political Disinformation’ – While They Are Disseminating It

Posted by on July 23, 2025 at 1:14 pm. 1 Comments :

If anyone is curious about just how frightened Donald Trump is about the prospect of the Jeffrey Epstein files being released, all they need to do is observe how desperately he is pushing preposterous and wholly unsupported allegations against President Obama, who Trump et al are accusing of treason.

Trump Lies

Ever since the blatant hypocrisy of Trump’s Attorney Genuflect, Pam Bondi, assuring Fox News that she is reviewing the Epstein client list that is “sitting on my desk right now,” then subsequently insisting that no such list exists, the snowballing backlash aimed at Trump, from his own most loyal cult followers, has threatened to bury him politically. Consequently, he has concocted a malicious, mendacious melodrama wherein he and his cohorts are accusing Obama of a capital crime against America.

SEE THIS: Trump’s DNI and Fox News Manufacture a New Crackpot Conspiracy Theory Accusing Obama of Treason

The allegations by the Trump regime have no basis in reality. Their own documents fail to prove their ludicrous claims. But conforming to reality has never been a prerequisite for Trumpist bullshittery. And it isn’t now. Which explains why Trump’s Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, can shamelessly stand behind the podium in the White House Press Briefing Room and spout off bona fide garbage like this (video below)…

“This is truly one of the greatest political scandals in American history. And reporters at legacy outlets, some of which are sitting in this room today, like the New York Times and the Washington Post, were ridiculously awarded Pulitzer prizes for their perpetuation of this hoax. It is well past time for those awards to be stripped from the journalists that received them.”

What Leavitt is referring to are articles that accurately reported the well documented and unsavory associations between Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and Russian operatives. Those articles were thoroughly researched and backed up by both documentary evidence and witness testimony. They deservedly won Pulitzer prizes for which Trump is now suing the Pulitzer board in a futile and infantile effort to get them revoked. But Leavitt was just getting started. She went on to complain that…

“It is not journalism to propagate political disinformation in service of the Democrat Party and those in the intelligence community who hand over out of context and fake intelligence to push a false political narrative.

“I will now pass it over to the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, to speak more about all of this.”

Leavitt is actually right that “It is not journalism to propagate political disinformation.” Even though that is exactly what she is doing. This is just another swing at the crackpot conspiracy theory that Obama had intelligence reports altered to say that Russia tried to interfere in the 2016 election. Which in fact, they did try to do. That was affirmed by multiple analyses by the Intel community, as well as the Senate Intelligence Committee investigation that was led by then-senator Marco Rubio. The bipartisan Committee reported that…

“…the Russian government engaged in an aggressive, multifaceted effort to influence, or attempt to influence, the outcome of the 2016 presidential election. […and that…] Moscow’s intent was to harm the Clinton Campaign, tarnish an expected Clinton presidential administration, help the Trump Campaign after Trump became the presumptive Republican nominee, and undermine the U.S. democratic process.”

The plot of this phony scandal by Trump, Leavitt, and Gabbard, would make a really bad political movie due its implausibility and utter lack of factual substance. On the other hand, it could make a pretty good farcical satire about nutcases propagating insane delusions of government psyops. And they could use the real graphics contrived by Trump’s people, such as the one on the left below that was posted by both Trump and his White House accounts…

Trump's White House isn't babbling about crackpot conspiracy theories at all, are they?

Trump’s DNI and Fox News Manufacture a New Crackpot Conspiracy Theory Accusing Obama of Treason

Posted by on July 19, 2025 at 1:48 pm. 3 Comments :

The Propaganda and Deflection Office of Donald Trump’s White House is working overtime trying to draw attention away from Trump’s salacious relationship with convicted pedophile and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. To that end Trump has been furiously fomenting alternative “scandals” with which to occupy the minds of his cult followers and the compliant media.

Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin

Among the shiny objects that Trump is dangling before the gullible are his utterly meritless lawsuit against his buddy Rupert Murdoch and the Wall Street Journal, his attacks on Federal Reserve Chairman, Jerome Powell, his pretending that he forced Coke to change their ingredients, and his unbridled ecstasy from the firing of comedy legend Stephen Colbert.

Much to Trump’s dismay, none of those valiant attempts at misdirection succeeded in diverting the public from the infinitely more compelling saga of Trump and Epstein. Especially since he keeps juicing the story with more obvious lies that only make him look more afraid and guilty.

Consequently, Trump is floating yet another diversion in order to take the heat off of his potentially criminal lechery. He has ordered his Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, to launch a set of dubious allegations aimed at former President Barack Obama regarding the factual history of Trump’s unsavory association with Russia. And Gabbard was the perfect choice to field queries about Trump’s Russia ties, considering her own long held sympathies for Russia and Kremlin propaganda.

Ever obedient, Gabbard called her comrades at Fox News to unload a steaming pile of political manure. Whereupon, Fox News reported that…

“The Obama administration ‘manufactured and politicized intelligence’ to create the narrative that Russia was attempting to influence the 2016 presidential election, despite information from the intelligence community stating otherwise, Fox News Digital has learned.

“On Friday, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard declassified documents revealing ‘overwhelming evidence’ that demonstrates how, after President Donald Trump won the 2016 election against Hillary Clinton, then-President Barack Obama and his national security team laid the groundwork for what would be the years-long Trump–Russia collusion probe.”

Naturally, the story on Fox News, based solely on Gabbard’s “evidence” is flagrantly fictional. They went on to quote Gabbard, or her agents, alleging that President Obama had his Intelligence aides alter their reports regarding how Russia tried to interfere with the 2016 presidential election. According to Fox, Gabbard noted the following from Obama’s Intel…

“‘We assess that Russian and criminal actors did not impact recent US election results by conducting malicious cyber activities against election infrastructure,’ the Presidential Daily Brief stated.”

From that statement, Gabbard and Fox News attached an analysis concluding that Obama ordered the Intel Community to falsify their reports, asserting that Russia never actually interfered with the election at all. It was all, as Trump would say, a “HOAX!” But for some reason, Trump never bothered to reveal this hoax during his first four year occupation of the white House, or during his reelection campaign against President Biden that he lost.

Furthermore, what Gabbard is alleging is not what the documents she provided actually say. They only say that Russia was not successful in trying to alter the outcome of the election – they “did not impact recent US election results” – not that they didn’t try to do so. And on the basis of those misrepresentations, both Gabbard and Fox News lied that after “investigating the matter for months…”

“…their conclusions ‘clearly shows there was a treasonous conspiracy in 2016.’ And that ‘every person involved in this conspiracy must be investigated and prosecuted.’

However, there was no such conspiracy shown, treasonous or otherwise, in Gabbard’s documents. Nevertheless, Gabbard is accusing Obama of a capital crime that would result in his execution if found guilty. And she is including several other Obama administration officials in that accusation, including DNI James Clapper, CIA Director John Brennan, FBI Director James Comey, National Security Advisor Susan Rice, Secretary of State John Kerry, Attorney General Loretta Lynch, and Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe. If they get their way, Trump’s Death Row in his political gulag is gonna be crowded.

Fox News amplified these abhorrent allegations with segments on multiple programs including Sean Hannity and Fox and Friends. The segment that aired on the Jesse Watters program is typical of the dishonesty that they are disseminating. Watters said that…

“We just got a peek inside Obama’s black book and it turns out Barack knew the Russia hoax was a hoax all along but pushed it anyway to sabotage the Trump presidency. DNI Tulsi Gabbard declassifying pages and pages of documents showing Obama’s intel guys briefed him just weeks after the 2016 election that the Russians didn’t actually sway the election [and that Obama] instructed intel agencies to cook up new reports to support Russia collusion.”

Once again, the actual reports said plainly that Russia did try to interfere with the election, not that they succeeded in changing the outcome. And despite her hyperbolic ranting, that’s what Gabbard’s declassified documents said as well. The spin by Gabbard and Fox News – that factual assertions of Russian interference were a hoax, and that Obama had the reports altered – is downright bizarre and grossly defamatory.

That view was shared by by the Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee that investigated all of this five years ago. The acting chairman of that committee was Marco Rubio, who is now Trump’s Secretary of State. The bipartisan Committee report said that…

“…the Russian government engaged in an aggressive, multifaceted effort to influence, or attempt to influence, the outcome of the 2016 presidential election. […] The fifth and final volume focuses on the counterintelligence threat, outlining a wide range of Russian efforts to influence the Trump Campaign and the 2016 election.” […]

“Moscow’s intent was to harm the Clinton Campaign, tarnish an expected Clinton presidential administration, help the Trump Campaign after Trump became the presumptive Republican nominee, and undermine the U.S. democratic process.”

These new allegations are another example of Trump weaponizing the Intelligence agencies over which he presides. Which he is also doing with his Justice, Homeland Security, Treasury, State, and other administration Departments. But it’s even worse than that. He is openly advocating for the execution of his political foes. His remarks on these matters was to say that “I think they’re crooked as hell. And, maybe they have to pay a price for that. I believe they are truly bad people and dishonest people. So, whatever happens, happens.”

If that doesn’t convince his supporters that he is a sociopathic fascist and aspiring authoritarian, in the mold of his heroes Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un, nothing will. But for the rest of the American people, this new scandal/deflection makes it all the more imperative to remove Trump from office before he can do more damage.

UPDATE: Trump and his MAGA cronies are pulling out all the stops to promote this phony conspiracy. He posted a frantic blast of ten new comments about it on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, including one citing it as “treasonous.” They consist mostly of links to Fox News and Breitbart, and this poster created by Gabbard’s crew that is nothing but wild innuendos leading to inane conclusions…

Trump Gets Hit Where it Hurts: TV Ratings for His Inauguration Fall 27% Below Joe Biden’s

Posted by on January 22, 2025 at 12:24 pm. NO Comments :

Ever since the election last November, Donald Trump has been exaggerating – aka lying – about the scope of his victory. He repeatedly refers to it as a “landslide,” despite the fact that his margin of victory over Vice President Kamala Harris was a mere 1.5%, one of the narrowest wins in modern times.

Donald Trump

This is typical of Trump’s acutely narcissistic psychosis that causes him to obsess over measurements of the size of everything from vote results, to rally attendance, and even to his manhood. His compulsion to overstate reality is something that he has bragged about, calling it “truthful hyperbole,” or in plain English, lying!

SEE THIS: OMG! Pathological Liar Trump Says He is ‘the Most Honest Human Being God Ever Created’

Another metric that Trump clings to for emotional support is television ratings. His long occupation as a reality TV game show host has fused his fetish for Nielsen numbers into his corroding cranial cavity. But his dependence on audience affirmation may deal him a severe blow now that the ratings for his inauguration have been released…

“Trump’s second swearing-in brought in an average total viewership of 24.59 million viewers […] Viewership for the 2025 inauguration was down 27% from Biden’s 2021 inauguration, which scored an audience of 33.76 million viewers.[…] The 2025 inauguration also saw a 19.75% viewership downtick from Trump’s first inauguration in 2017, which scored 30.64 million viewers.”

UH-OH. Trump is gonna have an aneurism when he gets wind of this. Dropping below his prior inauguration would be bad enough. But getting swamped by President Biden may be too much for him to bear. Perhaps even worse for Trump, he also didn’t come close to President Obama’s audience of 37.8 million viewers in January of 2009.

If anything, Trump’s numbers should have been higher due to the freezing weather that forced his event inside the Capitol Rotunda, as well as forcing people to stay home and watch the lie-riddled affair on TV. Plus, he has the advantage of a dedicated Ministry of Propaganda – aka Fox News – to blast his orange puss to an adoring cult following that is permanently plastered to the channel. With regard to that, Fox did its part by delivering nearly half of the total TV audience (10.3 million viewers) for the inauguration day festivities. The rest of the TV audience clearly had better things to do.

This is further evidence that Trump’s reoccupation of the White House is not the popular ratification of his return that he pretends that it is. And he cannot make a rational argument that he has anything resembling a mandate to implement his extremist, authoritarian agenda. Unfortunately, that won’t stop him from trying. And it is up to the people to spread the truth, and to make sure that the cowardly, complicit, legacy media reports it.
