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

Posted by on March 14, 2026 at 1:16 pm. 0 Comments :

Throughout his entire time in public life, Donald Trump has had a love/hate relationship with the media. What that boils down to is that he loves (and needs) it when they give him attention, but he hates it when that attention is honest reporting about his rampant incompetence and flaming stupidity.

Donald Trump

As a result of this acutely befuddled psychosis, Trump regularly resorts to whining about his treatment by the press (that he maligns in Stalinist terms as “the enemy of the people.”) in a manner that would shame a cranky seven year old. Trump’s penchant for petulant sniveling is a core feature of his severely disturbed psyche. He has even boasted that he is “the most fabulous whiner.” No, really. It’s on video…

Now Trump is taking his war on the media to a new level of totalitarian obsessions. On Saturday morning he posted a graphic on Truth Social with the ominous headline “PRESIDENT TRUMP IS RESHAPING THE MEDIA.” Never mind that that is NOT his job. In fact, it is an overt breach of the Constitution’s First Amendment protection of the free press. But dishonoring the principles that underpin American democracy has never bothered Trump before.

Trump posts a horrifying graphic that celebrates his fantasy of having total fascist control of the media.

The graphic that Trump posted is a list of what he thinks are his contributions to reforming the media. However, almost nothing that he includes in his list is actually a reform. More accurately they would be described as improper, and perhaps illegal, interference. And worse, they exemplify Trump’s compulsion to replace free speech with autocratic repression and the state-sponsored censorship of fascists.

For instance, of the 12 items that he celebrates are “GONE,” seven of them are simply observances that some journalists who he dislikes are no longer working for a particular network. Although they are all still working. Of special note is the extremely darkened photo Trump used for Black journalist Joy Reid. The other five items in his list express his thrill that some of the media – and hence the public’s right to know – has been hampered by funding cuts, layoffs, and ratings declines. None of those things, however, are what anyone would call reforms.

Trump’s graphic goes on to list what he thinks are reforms. They include bragging about his interviews, lying about the success of his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, and celebrating having won settlements (aka bribes) from cowardly media corporations. Once again – not reforms.

The only things that be called reforms are two items wherein Trump praises the work of his FCC boss, Brendan Carr, who is faithfully running the agency like a good cult minion who is devoted to helping Trump assume tyrannical control of the media. Carr coincidentally (?) tweeted the same morning that…

“Broadcasters that are running hoaxes and news distortions – also known as the fake news – have a chance now to correct course before their license renewals come up. The law is clear. Broadcasters must operate in the public interest, and they will lose their licenses if they do not. […] When a political candidate is able to win a landslide election victory after in the face of hoaxes and distortions, there is something very wrong.”

So Carr is openly threatening the broadcast licenses of news networks if they fail to unflinchingly support the Trump regime. Somebody needs to tell him that broadcast networks are not licensed by the federal government, so there aren’t any licenses for him to deny. Although local broadcasters are licensed. But is he going to start rejecting license renewals for over 200 local affiliates? Each of whom would challenge his efforts as unconstitutional.

What’s more, Carr destroys his own argument by noting that Trump won (although not nearly by a landslide, only by 1.5%) despite what he says were “hoaxes and distortions.” So he’s arguing that the media doesn’t have the power to influence election outcomes. Which contradicts his complaint. That, however, doesn’t deter Trump from persisting in his campaign of perpetual whining and his aspirations of dictatorship. Although, he seems to agree that the public can make up their own minds regardless of what the media says…

Crybaby-in-Chief Donald Trump is again whining about news coverage, calling the NY Times and Wall Street Journal "Lowlife Papers" that want America to lose the war in Iran. He says they are "sick and demented people."But he's right that the American people "understand what is happening."

NICE WORK CBS! Banning the Stephen Colbert Interview with James Talarico, Got Them Way More Views

Posted by on February 17, 2026 at 1:09 pm. 0 Comments :

He’s at it again! Wannabe dictator Donald Trump has dictated to his Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to further erode the protections of the Constitution’s First Amendment for freedom of the press. It is just his latest attempt to shape the media into the propaganda arm of his Reich House operation.

Stephen Colbert & Trump Baby

Three weeks ago Trump’s crony FCC chairman, Brendan Carr, announced that he was considering a plan to alter the long-standing rules regarding “Equal Time” on television. It was a blatant attempt to put an end to criticism of Trump from TV talk show hosts and their guests. Since the Equal Time rules were implemented there have been exceptions for newsworthy interviews on both news and entertainment programs. But Trump’s childish and emotional insecurity has resulted in his seeking to stifle his critics by any means necessary.

SEE THIS: Trump’s FCC Threatens to Change ‘Equal Time’ Rules to Suppress the Free Speech of Trump Critics

On Monday night’s episode of “Late Night with Stephen Colbert,” Colbert revealed that the executives at CBS had prohibited him from airing an interview with James Talarico, a Democratic Senate candidate from Texas. However, Colbert, whose number one show has already been canceled and will end it’s ten year long run in May, was not taking this censorship quietly. He delivered a smackdown of CBS and the FCC that was both troubling and hilarious. What follows are some choice excerpts followed by the video…

“You know who is not one of my guests tonight? That’s Texas State Representative James Talarico. He was supposed to be here, but we were told in no uncertain terms by our network’s lawyers, who called us directly, that we could not have him on the broadcast. I was told, in some uncertain terms, that not only could I not have him on, I could not mention me not having him on. And because my network clearly does not want us to talk about this, let’s talk about this. […]

“Carr said he was thinking about dropping the exception for talk shows because he said some of them were motivated by partisan purposes. Well, sir, you’re chairman of the FCC. So, FCC YOU! Because I think you are motivated by partisan purposes yourself.” […]

“[Trump] wants to silence anyone who says anything bad about Trump on TV because all Trump does is watch TV. He’s like a toddler with too much screen time. He gets cranky and then drops a load in his diapers. So, it’s no surprise that two of the people most affected by this threat are me and my friend Jimmy Kimmel.”

After Colbert’s righteous rant, he told the audience that, while the network would not allow him to broadcast the Talarico interview, there was nothing stopping him from posting it on his YouTube page. And therefore…

There is, however, a surprisingly happy ending to this story. The goal of CBS and their masters in the Trump regime was to stifle any and all voices who were less than worshipful of Dear Leader Trump. But the result of their censorship was to drive more people to this interview than would otherwise have even heard that it existed. Note the numbers…

For Colbert’s FCC rant…

  • YouTube: 2.3 Million views (Update: 3.3 million)
  • Facebook: 2.8 million views (Update: 3.8 million)

For Colbert’s James Talarico interview…

  • YouTube: 2.6 Million views (Update: 5.6 million)
  • Facebook: 1.8 million views. (Update: 3.0 million)

Millions more views were racked up on other social media platforms such as Instagram and TikTok. In total, it was far more than the average audience for Colbert’s show, which in early February of 2026 was about 2.3 million viewers nightly.

So CBS, at the urging of the Trump regime, has succeeded in helping Colbert and Talarico to draw a much bigger audience than they would have if there were no improper government interference. So thanks for that.

Although, it is still outrageously unacceptable for the government to interfere at all. And particularly in such a partisan manner wherein they deliberately put pressure on late night talk shows that have been critical of Trump, while openly admitting that conservative talk radio would not be subject to similar muzzling.

The American people are not going to stand for this sort of censorship and tyranny. And the more that Trump and his comrades try to force it down our throats, the more they will lose and bury their own electoral prospects in the upcoming midterms and beyond.

UPDATE: CBS issued a memo disputing Stephen Colbert’s account of how the FCC pressured the network to spike the James Talarico interview. But they only made matters worse.

Crybaby Trump Whines that ‘NBC Should Fire’ Seth Meyers, and Worse, His Flunky FCC Chief Agrees

Posted by on November 16, 2025 at 11:59 am. 1 Comments :

Throughout his occupation of the White House, Donald Trump has impressively proven his steadfast dependability on staying focused on issues that have little to no relevance to the American people. He’s a walking exhibition of the single-minded persistence of a mule suffering from OCD.

Seth Myers and Donald Trump baby

Among the issues that have dominated Trump’s cartoon brain are his lies about his electoral loss in 2020, his obsession with persecuting his political foes, his inbred hatred of immigrants, his suppression of the free press, his shuttering agencies that provide benefits to the needy, and his determination to enrich himself and cling to power.

SEE THIS: Trump Slobbers Over Hungarian Dictator Viktor Orbán, Whose Unchecked Power He Envies and Craves

Another one of Trump’s fanatical fetishes is his aversion to being mocked by comedians. His tender feelings are so sensitive that he becomes apoplectic whenever he is the butt of even a mild joke. And that sensitivity was on display in a comment that he posted to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, on Saturday night. Reacting to a segment from Friday’s episode of “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” Trump seethed that…

“NBC’s Seth Meyers is suffering from an incurable case of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS). He was viewed last night in an uncontrollable rage, likely due to the fact that his ‘show’ is a Ratings DISASTER. Aside from everything else, Meyers has no talent, and NBC should fire him, IMMEDIATELY!”

Widdle Donnie Trump is a fragile flower who can't take a joke. Because he IS a joke.So he whines that "NBC should fire" Seth Meyers. And his FCC flunky, Brenden Carr, obediently parrots his censorious demand.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-11-16T11:19:38.071Z

There’s a steaming pile of derp to unpack in that outburst. Let’s start with the fact that Meyers’ show is not “a Ratings DISASTER.” NBC reported its season-to-date average for Meyers at about 1.031 million viewers. Which is pretty good for a post-midnight program. And NBC recently renewed his contract, which drew a threat from Trump. What’s more, at no point was Meyers “in an uncontrollable rage.” Rather, he was calmly delivering his material as usual. See for yourself…

However, perhaps the most troubling thing about Trump’s latest humorsexual harassment is that it was quickly taken up by his chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, Brendan Carr, who retweeted Trump’s harangue. Carr is notorious for adopting Trump’s hatred for the media, and particularly comedians. He reveled in the brief suspension of Jimmy Kimmel. And he implied on Fox News that he and Trump played a role in the cancelation of Stephen Colbert’s show.

Trump’s hatred and fear of Meyers, Colbert, and Kimmel is shared by his BFF in Moscow, Vladimir Putin, whose government has banned all three of them from Russia. And if Trump has his way, they will suffer the same fate in the U.S.

Which is where Carr comes in. He has the power to threaten the local affiliates of the network with revocation of their broadcast licenses and disapproval of business ventures. Currently NBC’s parent company, Comcast, is exploring a bid to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery. For which they would need the approval of the Trump administration.

Trump isn’t bothering to hide his authoritarian aspirations. He is chomping at the bit to deep six anyone who dares to criticize him, whether they be members of Congress, journalists, or comedians. And his contempt for Meyers has deep roots. Meyers’ delivered a withering monologue at the White House Correspondents Dinner in 2011. And it is a certainty that Trump has not forgotten it…
