HOLY CRAP! Scaredy Trump Has Been Trying to Banish the Entire Press Corps From the White House

Posted by on October 22, 2026 at 2:19 pm. 0 Comments :

Not satisfied with banning a few media companies from covering him at official presidential events, it is now being reported that Donald Trump has actually been pushing to ban the entire press corps from the White House, and turn the WH Press Briefing Room into an indoor swimming pool.

Donald Trump Trashes the Media

Since his reoccupation of the White House, Trump has acted on the worst impulses of his massive yet fragile ego by taking revenge on journalists who dared to engage in honest and accurate criticism of him. His vengeance manifested in unlawfully terminating the First Amendment rights of the Associated Press, CNN, MS NOW, and Politico, all of whom he is trying desperately to prohibit from covering his presidency.

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

The latest news about Trump’s animosity toward the free press comes in an article by Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan of the New York Times headlined ““Trump Pushes to Evict the Press From the White House.“ The article describes how far down the road to fascist media suppression Trump has already gone.

“In late August, during one of Karoline Leavitt’s final meetings with President Trump in the Oval Office, he pitched her on an idea in front of several senior aides. He told her to move reporters out of the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room, which would effectively remove news organizations from the White House. It would be, he told her, her ‘last legacy.’

“But the proposal never moved forward while she was there. The president had put the request to her several times over months, according to three people with knowledge of the discussions.” […]

“During earlier discussions, most of Mr. Trump’s senior aides agreed it served him better to keep the media nearby. But Mr. Trump has grown more enraged about his press coverage, and other advisers of growing influence have encouraged him to take drastic measures to punish journalists.”

Clearly Trump despises the free press and is determined to cause as much harm to it as he can. And even as he craves its attention to satiate his malignant narcissism, his obsession with silencing any and all negative accounts of his many failures takes precedence.

Notice that the arguments made by Trump’s aides to keep the media in the White House were centered on what “served him better,” rather than what served the American people or the Constitution. None of which the MAGA regime cares about.

It is also notable that Trump’s fixation on throwing out the press comes after he had already taken control of who is permitted into the press room, and his Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, had repopulated it with far-right, radical, lunatics like Breitbart, One America News, and Lindell TV.

No one should take comfort in the fact that Trump has yet to sweep all of the media out of the White House. He is still likely battling with his own hatred of the press and his addiction to attention. Coupled with his incompetence, it is not surprising that he hasn’t completed his media cleansing. But he is nothing if not persistent, and will surely keep trying. Hopefully the press will keep reporting no matter how deranged Trump gets.

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

Posted by on October 1, 2026 at 4:18 pm. 0 Comments :

The most media averse president in American history, Donald Trump, has just given an interview to TIME, another news organization that he considers to be “fake news.” And yet, he still whines annually when he doesn’t grace their cover as “Person of the Year.”

Donald Trump, Insane, Straight Jacket

The new interview is a long and tedious read that weaves aimlessly through a variety of issues including “the war in Iran, the artificial intelligence boom, the Federal Reserve, the Supreme Court, and his outlook for the midterms.” But there is almost nothing newsworthy in the whole thing because Trump just dodges the questions he’s asked, and wanders off into unrelated matters that fulfill his obsession with exalting himself. Which is typical of Trump, a malignant narcissist who has always had a tenuous connection to reality.

SEE THIS: Trump Says the Media are ‘Sick, Treasonous, Demented’ ‘SLEAZEBAGS’ – Because They Cover Him?

After wading through the lengthy barrage of bullshit, it was clear that there is nothing left of whatever cognitive capacity Trump possessed. His answers barely touched on the subject matter of the questions. But they predictably concluded with effusive praise for himself. The full transcript of the interview is here, for those with time on their hands and strong stomachs. But this article will just address the portion of the interview where Trump discussed the media.

Time’s staff began with a question about his recent banning of CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from covering certain presidential events because he didn’t like how they covered him. His ban was a blatant violation of the Constitution’s First Amendment, which a federal court affirmed and ordered Trump to revoke the ban.

QUESTION: Why should Americans believe that you respect the free press when you’re restricting access to the White House to some of our colleagues?
TRUMP: Because I do respect the free press, but I don’t respect fake news. I’ll give you an example. CNN and MSDNC, which is MS Now—they changed the name because it does so poorly. But I won the election [then rants about winning elections that he didn’t win, by margins that he never reached] It’s very important, 86% popular vote. Everything, and very conclusively, I haven’t had a good story on CNN for years. They’re incapable of being—they’re fake news. Same thing on MS NOW. […]

I don’t believe in fake news. And I know it’s fake because I know the thing—I don’t mind, you know, if I do something wrong, I don’t mind having a bad story…I’m in the Oval Office. I mean, the public is very smart. If I wasn’t doing a good job, I wouldn’t have won that election by a lot.

It’s preposterous for Trump to claim that he respects the free press that he banned. But he didn’t remain on that topic for long. He quickly diverted to bragging about his imaginary electoral successes, including having won 86% of the popular vote For the record, Trump never won anywhere near 86%. In 2024 he won 49.8% of the vote, just 1.5% more than Kamala Harris.

Then Trump wrapped up by noting that if he “wasn’t doing a good job, I wouldn’t have won.” Let’s see how he approaches that after the midterm elections in November that his MAGA Party is predicted to lose, and whether he still thinks then that “the public is very smart.”

Trump then complained about a judge that he said was “very anti-Trump,” who ruled that his banning of the free press was unconstitutional. That judge was appointed by Trump. He was reminded of that and was asked whether he would comply with the ruling. His response suggests that he doesn’t even know what a ruling is.

QUESTION: You don’t think you’re ignoring what he ordered you to do? You don’t think you’re ignoring his order?
TRUMP: No, I’m not. I’m not ignoring his order. I’m just saying that when I don’t have to go out of my way, these people write only bad stories. When they say orders, what order? I’m not even aware.

So Trump says that he isn’t ignoring the court’s order, he just isn’t going to comply with it because he doesn’t know what what it is. See? That isn’t insane at all, is it? Nor is it wackadoodle to explain why he’s banning the media by complaining that a reporter is allegedly unhappy, as he does in his next response.

QUESTION: Can I just ask, why now? You’ve had this contentious relationship with the media for a while. What was the impetus to doing this at this moment in time?
TRUMP: Well, it’s just bad story after bad story…I don’t think anybody should be forced to bear fake news, constantly bad stories, because I’ve done great things….So at a certain point, you say, “What’s the purpose of like this crazy Kaitlan Collins?” She’s a very average person. She’s the most unhappy young person I’ve ever seen.

Trump’s problem with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins is that she doesn’t smile when she’s asking him questions about serious subjects. Although he has never asked any male reporters to smile more. And this is his reason for banning CNN? That actually doesn’t comport with a different reason he gave recently…

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

The national security excuse is one that Trump has been leaning on lately. He has used it to justify the building of his vanity ballroom and his triumphal arch. Even worse, he’s threatening to use it to justify declaring martial law in order to steal the election. None which makes any sense at all. It’s just further proof that his mind was turned to cottage cheese and that he needs to be institutionalized for his own safety and that of the nation, and the world. ASAP!

Trump’s Attorney Genuflect, Todd Blanche, Flat Out Lies About Trump Denying Access to the Media

Posted by on September 27, 2026 at 3:18 pm. 0 Comments :

When Donald Trump publicly announced that he was banning CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House and other presidential media locales, he was immediately swamped with criticism for his blatant breach of the Constitution’s First Amendment protection of press freedom.

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

Donald Trump and Todd Blanche puppet

True to form, Trump didn’t care because he has no respect for the Constitution or the cherished principles that it embodies. And that’s especially true of his aversion to the free press that he regularly refers to in Stalinist terms as “the enemy of the people.” Despite his craven addiction to getting constant attention, he has an open hostility to the media that provides it.

SEE THIS: Trump Says the Media are ‘Sick, Treasonous, Demented’ ‘SLEAZEBAGS’ – Because They Cover Him?

On Sunday morning Trump’s Attorney General and criminal defense lawyer, Todd Blanche, was on ABC’s This Week to demonstrate just how loyally sycophantic he is to his MAGA cult leader Trump. Of course many of Trump’s minions are flaming sycophants, so that isn’t particularly surprising. But when the subject of Trump’s ban on the media came up, Blanche proved that he is in a class all his own. He said that…

“Well, the president hasn’t denied access. That’s not the right way to describe it. What the president has said is that he is sick and tired of certain media outlets just refusing to report accurate news. It is a privilege to be in the White House for anybody, and the president knows that. It’s the people’s house. […]

“The unfortunate and sad thing here is that after years and years and years of one-sided media coverage of the president from certain outlets, the president finally said it’s not fair to the American people…Being in the White House is a privilege; it’s not a right.”

REALLY? So when Trump denied access to the media he wasn’t denying access? He was merely “sick and tired of certain media outlets” so he prohibited them from entering the White House. See how different that is? Blanche just declared that entering the White House is a privilege, not a right, and Trump can decide who gets the privilege. And he can base his decision on whether he is sick of certain outlets.

For the record, it is wrong to describe access to the White House as either a privilege or a right. It is mandated by law that the Supreme Court has affirmed, wherein if access is given to the media, it may not be revoked based on viewpoint discrimination.

Blanche’s comments in this interview actually confirm that Trump’s denial of access is unlawful. He admits that Trump made his decision due to his opinion that some reporting was allegedly not accurate. In Trump’s mind that means he disagreed with it, or that it was truthful and made him look bad. And Blanche has the gall to frame it as Trump wanting to be fair to the American people. By censoring the media?

In the same interview Blanche awkwardly tried to frame Trump’s media ban as a “national security issue.” Then he whined that Trump’s words were being taken seriously. No, really. When he was told that Trump complained that the media “want to try to diminish Republicans,” Blanche had a peculiar rebuttal that essentially argued that people shouldn’t listen to what Trump says…

Clearly there is a problem with the Attorney General who still sees himself as representing Trump, rather than the American people or the Constitution. And while he is only one of Trump’s Cabinet flunkies who feel that way, he is the one with the judicial system under his control. Furthermore, his comments regarding the media are way out of his lane. But then there hasn’t been a press secretary for several weeks since Karoline Leavitt resigned. Maybe Blanche is aiming to add that job to his portfolio.

Herr Trump Has Banned CNN, MSNOW, and Politico From the White House for Reporting ‘Fake News’

Posted by on September 18, 2026 at 1:45 pm. 1 Comments :

The MAGA Autobahn to American fascism that Donald Trump has been speeding down has just seen him passing a significant landmark. The Trump regime has long been open about its hostility toward the free press and the Constitution that protects it. And Trump has frequently maligned the media in Stalinist terms as “the enemy of the people.”

Donald Trump, Censorship

However, on Friday morning Trump cemented his legacy as a censorious tyrant on a mission to control what the media is allowed to report, and what the American people are allowed to know. It’s a giant leap backwards in the freedoms that have been a cherished part of America for 250 years. And although Trump’s latest atrocity is extraordinarily grotesque, it isn’t exactly anything new coming from Trump.

SEE THIS: His MAGA-Sty Trump is ‘Wielding Power to Stifle Speech’ – According to a New York Times Exposé

Obsessed as he is with his public image, Trump was once again ignoring the critical issues facing the nation – i.e. endless war, rising inflation, environmental catastrophe, crumbling democracy, etc. – in order to address his wounded ego. Something must have triggered the feeble pResident, which led him to post the following comment on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social…

“I am proud to announce that, effective immediately, I am banning Fake News CNN, MSNOW (who recently changed their name from MSNBC due to lack of viewership and credibility!), and Politico…from the White House as a result of their constant ‘reporting’ FAKE NEWS! Media Outlets shouldn’t be able to constantly write or report FICTION and LIES when they’re covering the President of the United States…Other Fake News Media Outlets to follow.”

This is the latest example of Trump’s determination to emulate his heroes, Vladimir Putin of Russia, and Kim Jong Un of North Korea. He believes that he can unilaterally declare which media outlets are permitted to cover his occupation of the White House. He previously banned the Associated Press, but that ban is being contested in the courts. And it hasn’t stopped the AP from reporting on him and his criminal activities.

Meanwhile, Trump has nothing to say about the real fake news that props him up like the messiah of the MAGA cult, which is what they believe him to be. So Fox News, Newsmax, One America News, Breitbart, etc. remain in good standing in his White House press room.

If Trump thinks that this ban will stop the press from covering him, he will be sorely disappointed. What’s more, he will face certain backlash from the public that relies on a free press to stay informed. There will also be some backlash from the media, although not nearly enough. If they acted with integrity as a group they would all boycott Trump until these bans are revoked.

Whatever set Trump off this morning is not yet known. But it will likely be revealed soon. He was clearly in a bad mood. A couple of hours prior to this comment he posted one that was equally disturbing, if not as explicit…

Why is Trump bothering to post about CNN if it is so "Unwatchable and Failing"? He's been saying that for years, but it's still there.And his claim that "very few people are watching," is negated by the fact that he is obviously one of them. ?

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-09-18T16:42:46.771Z

The only thing that Trump is accomplishing with this is that he is confirming that he doesn’t give a damn about freedom, or the people, or democracy, or America. The only thing he cares about is himself and shielding his massive yet fragile ego from the truth. That’s how malignant narcissists behave. And it’s why they should never be given power.

Furthermore, it just gets worse under pressure. Which is what Trump is experiencing now with the approaching midterm elections that are predicted to bring a Blue Tsunami, wiping out much of the Republican Congress, and making Trump the lamest of ducks for the two years remaining of his term. In short, he’s scared and desperate.

UPDATE: Trump posted an image on Truth Social about his trashing of the First Amendment. So I added something that makes it more honest…

UPDATE: “A federal judge on Thursday said that President Trump’s order barring CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House was likely unconstitutional and ordered the administration to restore access to the three news outlets.”

His MAGA-Sty Trump is ‘Wielding Power to Stifle Speech’ – According to a New York Times Exposé

Posted by on September 13, 2026 at 2:56 pm. 0 Comments :

The 2026 midterm elections are now less than two months away. And every day as it approaches Donald Trump and his MAGA Republican Party are descending ever deeper into the Mariana Trench of disapproval. Trump’s polling is already worse than at any time during either of his occupations of the White House.

King Donald Trump in the Oval Office.

Under ordinary circumstance, a politician with such abysmal ratings prior to an election would seek to broaden his support and adopt positions that had greater appeal to voters. But there is nothing ordinary about Trump. And Trump doesn’t even seem to believe that he is doing poorly.

SEE THIS: Delusional Trump: ‘My REAL Polling Numbers Are the Best They Have Ever Been’ – OK Grandpa

Instead of searching for ways to attract voters, Trump is searching for ways to silence his critics. Suppression of dissent has been a core feature of Trump’s (p)residency. Throughout his time in office he has shown a seething hatred for the free press and the Constitution that protects it. He files lawsuits against media companies, bans reporters from public events, and lobs personal at insults journalists, especially women.

The New York has been one of Trump’s perennial targets. Veteran Times correspondent Maggie Haberman has been viciously attacked by Trump, who refers to her in his typically infantile manner as “Maggot Hagerman.” And now the Times has published an analysis of Trump’s dysfunctional relationship with the media that he calls, in Stalinist terms, “the enemy of the people.”

The article’s headline is “How Trump Is Wielding Power to Stifle Speech.” And Haberman is a co-author (along with Jim Rutenberg) so expect a Trump feakout. It begins by describing Trump’s anti-media agenda as “a sweeping campaign to control speech in America.” Then elaborates saying that…

“Regulatory agencies are using their powers to pressure media organizations over their content. The administration has stripped funding from public television and radio. Angry over stories he does not like, President Trump has sued major news organizations and the White House has taken control of the previously independent press pool that tracks the president, deciding which outlets can participate.” […]

“Driven by personal pique, fury over leaks and a determination to shape the political narrative to his advantage, Mr. Trump is deploying the might of the federal government and filing personal lawsuits — targeting not just journalists and liberal critics, but also comedians and talk show hosts, and the corporate entities behind them.”

Indeed, Trump has already filed numerous meritless lawsuits intended to censor and/or intimidate the press. In addition to the Times, his targets have included the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, ABC News, CBS News, CNN, and even the Pulitzer Prize board, who dared to give awards to media that wrote honest stories about Trump’s failures and crimes.

Furthermore, the article’s claim that Trump has “taken control of the previously independent press pool” was affirmed by Trump’s own press secretary in an unprecedented move to improperly dominate the communications that come from the White House to the people.

The Times’ article went to reveal that, according to the international media watchdog, Reporters Without Borders, “The United States now ranks at its lowest since the organization started the index in 2002 — 64th.” An executive director of the organization says that “There’s not a week that goes by where they’re not taking a new step to curtail press freedom in the country.”

It’s safe to assume that, as Trump continues to flounder, this will only get worse. His animosity toward the media, and his festering narcissism, virtually guarantee that he will exhibit ever more severe symptoms of his media-averse depravity. It would helpful if the media would stand up for itself more often and more vigorously.

Trump’s FCC Boss (Fascist Communications Czar) Tells Fox News He is ‘Looking Into’ Fake Polls

Posted by on September 6, 2026 at 2:51 pm. 1 Comments :

In the decade that Donald Trump has been in politics, he has distinguished himself as the most media averse president of all time. He has taken unprecedented actions to censor the free press, insulted journalists for doing their jobs, and whined incessantly about his paranoid perception of being a victim of what he routinely calls the “fake news.”

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

Recently Trump was ticked off by a segment on Meet the Press during which the host, Kristen Welker, accurately pointed out that Trump’s record of endorsements was a “mixed bag” due to many of his preferred candidates losing their primary races. In response to Welker’s reporting Trump proposed a vengeful penalty that he has no legal authority to dispense.

SEE THIS: Wannabe Fascist Dictator Trump is Reporting Meet the Press Host to His FCC – For ‘Punishment’?

Trump’s proposal was typical of his hyperactive overreach that demonstrates his ignorance of, and disrespect for, the Constitution and its First Amendment protection for the free press. Neither he nor his FCC have any jurisdiction to punish journalists, particularly when they are right.

On Sunday morning Trump and his nursemaid, Natalie Harp, were busy with what he regards as his primary presidential duties of posting goofy memes on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. They included AI slopix of himself horseback riding with George Washington, Robert De Niro with a Trump t-shirt, renaming New Mexico to New America, Joe Biden in a Trump hat, Trump as Hulk Hogan, and 31 more deranged fantasies. I sure hope hope it doesn’t cut into his golf game.

Meanwhile, Trump’s FCC boss, Brendan Carr, was on Fox News doing what he does best: disseminating Trumpist propaganda. Carr was interviewed by Fox’s Peter Doocy who asked whether Trump had actually reported Welker to him for her punishment. Carr began his reply with a tediously long word salad that had nothing to do with the question. But he eventually weaved his way back to provide an answer that came a little closer to being responsive.

“There is a lot of interest right now in fake polls that are out there. So the FCC may put guidance out soon to remind broadcasters about their obligations with respect to not airing fake polls. Particularly if they’re done to suppress people heading into the fall.”

FCC Chair Brendan Carr on Trump calling for Kristen Welker to receive "punishment" for accurately saying he has a mixed record on endorsements: "I think President Trump is over the target, and we are looking at a lot of actions"

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-09-06T15:19:13.294Z

WTF is he talking about? The FCC has no role whatsoever in the collection of data, or subsequent results of, public polling. It cannot make determinations as to whether they are accurate or fake. And it definitely can’t enforce any sort of “guidance” as to how they are conducted or reported. The FCC is not an official censorship agency that can muzzle the media. Particularly if it’s done to suppress information from people heading into the fall.

Broadcasters have no “obligations” as to how they report polls, outside of their own standards and practices set by their editors and executives. The worst parties to assume that authority would be those in government. That’s how dictatorships control the media and suppress the freedom that American journalists have had for 250 years.

Trump and Carr are behaving like the tyrannical despots they admire in Russia, China, and North Korea. However, the only people that should be subject to punishment are Trump and his White House flunkies who are violating the Constitution.

Trump’s obsession with what he calls fake polls stems from his knowledge that those polls are accurate. And illegally obstructing broadcasters from reporting on them doesn’t change the facts that they represent. Trump and his criminal regime are broadly despised and they are going down.

Wannabe Fascist Dictator Trump is Reporting Meet the Press Host to His FCC – For ‘Punishment’?

Posted by on August 30, 2026 at 1:55 pm. 2 Comments :

The most media averse president in the history of the United States, Donald Trump, is once again demonstrating his inbred hostility to the free press and the Constitution that explicitly protects it in the very First Amendment.

Donald Trump

What America’s founders saw as an indispensable facet of freedom and democracy, Trump sees as “the enemy of the people,” a phrase that he borrowed from Joseph Stalin. He insults journalists personally in the most vile and infantile manner, and disparages the entire industry as “fake News.” It’s another symptom of the severe delusional impairment that permeates everything he does or says.

SEE THIS: Delusional Trump Whines that Americans are ‘Angry at Republicans, But They’re Not Angry At Me’

On Sunday morning Trump was busy doing what he regards as his presidential duties: posting deranged rants on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. And true to form, many of those rants concerned the media that he despises. Consequently, he led off with a short harangue whining that…

“THE FAKE POLLS USED BY OUR CROOKED MEDIA ARE OUT OF CONTROL, AND SOMETHING MUST BE DONE ABOUT IT. FCC TO THE RESCUE!”

That’s right. Trump is outraged by all the polls that show him floundering in the depths of the Mariana Trench of Disapproval. To be sure, he has sunk to record lows in virtually every poll, and continues to trend downward. So now he insists that “SOMETHING MUST BE DONE,” and that it’s up to his FCC (Fascist Communications Commission) to do it. You might ask, “To do what?” Well, he got to that in a subsequent comment that is too long and tedious to repost. So here are a couple of relevant excerpts…

“Kristen Welker, the Unpopular ‘Hostess’ of the once great Meet the Press, now considered Meet the Fake Press, just stated that Donald Trump has ‘mixed results’ on his Endorsements […] Because of this purposeful inaccuracy, she will be reported to the FCC for rebuke or punishment. Unfortunately, she is not the only one. The Radical Left News is going out of their way to harass, demean, and libel anything ‘TRUMP.’ […] The Press is a Disgrace to our Nation, and I hope that Chairman Brendan Carr, and the fine people of his Commission, will take this Threat to our Country very seriously.”

And there you have it. Hall monitor Trump says that Welker “will be reported to the FCC for rebuke or punishment.” Then what? Will she have to stay after school? Will she get 20 whacks? Or will she be deported to a gulag in El Salvador?

Welker’s alleged offense was that she accurately reported that many of Trump’s recent endorsed candidates have met with defeat. In fact, that was what comprised most of Trump’s endless comment that was primarily him bragging about his “99% SUCCESS Rate on Endorsements.” What he fails to mention is that the vast majority of them were for Republican candidates in Republican primaries, many of whom had no viable opponent.

Trump also doesn’t distinguish between endorsements from months or years ago, and the more recent endorsements that have fared poorly, consistent with his devastating descent in the polls. Maybe someone should him about his “success” with Pillow Man Mike Lindell in Minnesota. Even Darline Graham Nordone, his endorsee in South Carolina, barely held onto a lead to replace her late brother Lindsey in the Senate.

Whether Welker was accurate or not is beside the point. Trump and his FCC don’t have any legal authority to dispense “rebuke or punishment” to the press for what they consider to be inaccuracies. There is, however, a civil process for recovering damages in the event of defamation. Fox News found out about that when they were forced to pay a $787 million settlement to Dominion Software for lying about the 2020 presidential election being “rigged and stolen” from Trump.

Trump, on the other hand, has zero evidence of any defamatory dishonesty on the part of Welker or NBC. This is just another attempt on his part to bully the media into submission for not gushing adoringly over him every minute of every day. And Trump may be especially angry with Welker. He walked out of a recent interview with her because he couldn’t handle her entirely reasonable questions.

Finally, Trump’s “hope that [FCC] Chairman Brendan Carr…take this Threat to our Country very seriously,” is his clumsily covert way of issuing orders to the flunkies on his team to bring their fascist hammer down on the free press. It’s a tactic that he has learned from his idols Vladimir Putin of Russia, and Kim Jong Un of North Korea.

WHAT 1ST AMENDMENT? Trump Regime Threatens NYT Journalists to Compel Them to Give Up Sources

Posted by on July 11, 2026 at 2:07 pm. 0 Comments :

The hostility that Donald Trump has for the free press is nothing new. He has been referring to the media in Stalinist terms as “the enemy of the people” for years. And he viciously attacks reporters and news organizations every day simply because they are doing their jobs.

Donald Trump, Constitution

Trump actually has a perverse love/hate relationship with the media. He hates them when they report the truth about him. But he loves being the center of attention. He never lets his aversion to the Constitution’s protection of the free press get in the way of his exploitation of it. While he blames it for all of his problems, he also clings to positive news about himself, if he’s making it up…

SEE THIS: Delusional Donald: Does Trump Really Believe He’s Ultra Popular with Record High Approval Ratings?

Trump’s assault on the First Amendment has taken many disturbing forms. He frequently sues journalists and media companies as a means of punishing them for their honest reporting. And he orders his federal agencies to clamp down on companies that have the audacity to reveal his personal and professional flaws. Which is what just happened with his “Justice” Department issuing subpoenas to several New York Times reporters. As reported by the Times…

“The Trump administration issued subpoenas on Friday to several journalists for The New York Times, after the news outlet reported this week on security concerns involving President Trump’s new Qatari-donated Air Force One. […] The subpoenas — which seek to force the reporters to testify before a federal grand jury in Manhattan on Wednesday — were an extraordinary escalation in President Trump’s efforts to threaten and intimidate independent news organizations.”

The Times noted that “the subpoenas contain few specifics,” other than demanding that the journalists testify before a Grand Jury “in regard to an alleged violation of federal criminal law” having something to do with a Times story about Trump departing Turkey on the “old” Air Force One because of “a security precaution at the urging of the Secret Service.”

Trump’s press office responded to the Times’story by insisting that it was false. It was, however, a legitimate story that exposed the carelessness of the Trump administration and it’s lack of concern for operational security. They claimed that Trump switched planes and diverted the new Qatari bribe jet to a military base in England because some soldiers there really wanted to see it (yeah, right).

Therefore, any allegation that the Times broke a law, or that the leaker did, is moot. You can’t be accused of leaking sensitive or classified information if what you wrote wasn’t actually sensitive or classified. And according to the Trump propaganda team it wasn’t. So either Trump and company are lying, or there was no violation of the law.

What’s more, the Times’ story was published after Trump switched to the properly secured Air Force One from the Qatari bribe jet, and was already safely at home. and you can’t be accused of endangering the president if what you wrote was published entirely after the fact, and there was no risk to the president.

To the contrary, the Times actually made the president safer by insuring that the Qatari jet would not be used by the president unless and until it is properly upgraded to Secret Service standards. Consequently, the Times responded to the subpoenas in a blunt statement by their attorney, David McCraw:

“The appearance of federal law enforcement agents on the doorstep of news reporters should shock the conscience of any American who believes in the Constitution and the press freedom it protects. Our journalists report the facts and advance the American public’s right to know how their government is operating and their taxpayer dollars are being used. This brazen act should be seen as nothing more than an attempt to prevent the public from knowing what is happening in their country by intimidating journalists from doing their jobs.”

The morning after this legal brouhaha Trump once again lashed out at the media. He posted a tediously long and incoherent comment on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, attacking New York Times reporters, Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, in his typically infantile manner, saying in part that…

“Maggot Hagerman has covered me incorrectly for ten years. Her book is a joke! 90% of it is Fake News…Maggot is a loser! […] Anyway, don’t buy their book, it’s garbage!”

For the record, Haberman and Swan’s book “Regime Change” is currently #1 on Amazon. Trump went on in this comment to boast that he has “just finished a perfect physical at Walter Reed, I do it every six months, and I requested another Cognitive Test.” There are reasons that he needs to take annual physicals three or four times a year, along with repeated cognitive tests. Doctors wouldn’t do them if he wasn’t showing signs of mental impairment.

Trump followed up that comment with an even longer and less coherent harangue, whining about “The Failing New York Times,” along with the Wall Street Journal, MS NOW, CNN, ABC, CBS, and NBC. Adding that they should all just say that “We give up, we can’t beat him.” Which is wishful thinking on his part. He wouldn’t be freaking out this badly if he weren’t really afraid of losing the upcoming midterm elections and finding himself under investigation by Democrats in Congress who intend to hold him accountable for his multitude of crimes. for a change.

UPDATE: The Justice Department has withdrawn their bogus subpoenas in advance of the court ruling to quash them as violations of the Constitution’s First Amendment.

WHAT 1ST AMENDMENT? Snowflake Trump Takes Credit For Canceling “DUMB” (With a B) Stephen Colbert

Posted by on June 2, 2026 at 2:01 pm. 1 Comments :

The tender sensitivities of Donald Trump, and his massive yet fragile ego, continue to shine through the facade of bombast and bullying that he likes to put forward. His macho image of himself – setting aside his affinity for The Village People and muscular MMA fighters – is as fake as his layers of orange pancake makeup and B-52 hairstyles.

Donald Trump, Constitution

Trump’s hyper-mushiness is often expressed by his lashing out at journalists and other media figures. It can be seen whenever he is asked a question he can’t answer and resorts to insulting the reporter as a means of dodging the question. And it’s particularly true with regard to comedians who wound his smug pride with ample servings of satire and well-deserved mockery.

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

On Sunday night Trump unloaded yet another lambasting of his perceived enemies, both political and humorous. In a comment posted to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, Trump lauded himself for allegedly ending the careers of several of his archfoes, including Stephen Colbert. Trump bragged that…

“In the last two weeks I’ve taken out many bad Political ‘Leaders’ and Pundits including Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Lightweight ‘Congressman’ Thomas Massie of Kentucky, Brad Raffensperger of Georgia, REALLY DUMB Stephen Colbert of CBS, and others.”

Whad'ya know? Trump is admitting he had a role in Stephen Colbert being canceled, something he previously denied, and CBS said was just a financial decision.Plus he says he's also going after the other late night hosts. And finally, he says this is how he is "working so hard for our country" ???

That’s right. Trump is taking credit for the cancellation of “DUMB” (with a “B”) Stephen Colbert. Which is peculiar because he has previously denied having much, if anything, to do with it. In a post on Truth Social in July of last year Trump claimed that Colbert was fired due to “lack of talent” and CBS’s unverified assertion that the number one rated show lost $50 million dollars a year…

“Everybody is saying that I was solely responsible for the firing of Stephen Colbert from CBS, Late Night. That is not true! The reason he was fired was a pure lack of TALENT, and the fact that this deficiency was costing CBS $50 Million Dollars a year in losses.”

Trump’s tirade also included a tribute to himself saying that “It is my Honor to be working so hard for our Country!” Exactly! Because, as everyone knows, canceling Colbert is the best way to lower costs for gas, and groceries, and housing, and healthcare.

And that’s on top of the many economic benefits that come from building vanity ballrooms, staging UFC fights at the White House, paying $1.8 billion to reward violent seditionists, minting $250.00 bills with Trump’s face on them, and, of course. starting wars against Middle East countries without any reason or exit strategy.

The worst part of this assumption of credit by Trump is that he is affirming his intention to do away with the free speech rights and press freedoms embedded in the First Amendment to the Constitution. He actually believes that he has the power to dictate what can or cannot be aired on television. And sadly, too many of the billionaires who own the media are all too willing to capitulate to him for fear and/or greed.

However, that weakness will only work for so long. And the time is coming when they will learn the hard way that capitulation not only feeds Trump’s hunger for power, it alienates audiences who will revolt against the traitorous complicity in the corporate media’s embrace of MAGA-style fascism.

SUNDOWNING? Trump’s Acute Paranoia Now Extends to His Own White House Staff and Cabinet

Posted by on May 9, 2026 at 1:40 pm. 0 Comments :

The escalating severity of Donald Trump’s psychoses is presenting the nation and the world with unprecedented risks and challenging options for addressing them. While he has always been a malignant narcissist and pathological liar, he is now exhibiting signs of even more dangerous mental impairments that threaten to undermine American democracy.

Trump Fear

Exacerbating Trump’s declining emotional trauma are the polls showing him at record lows. Those abysmal numbers apply to his overall approval, as well as his handling of virtually every issue of significance to the American people, including the war in Iran, tariffs, healthcare, Social Security, housing, and the economy. And yet he is glaringly delusional as to his standing with the public.

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

This week it became even more obvious how grave Trump’s descent into madness is. He has developed a debilitating case of paranoia. He is suspicious of everyone with whom he comes in contact. And he is convinced that everyone from journalists, to comedians, to politicians, and even his own staff, are plotting to destroy him. But there may be some truth to the old adage that “Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean everybody isn’t out to get you.”

One particularly revealing example is that Trump’s Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, just distributed a memo threatening the entire White House staff to refrain from leaking anything to the press. She wrote that…

“No staff member within the Executive Office of the President is permitted to speak with members of the news media without the explicit approval of the White House Communications Office. […] Unauthorized leaks will not be tolerated and are subject to sanction up to and including termination.”

In a hilarious feast of irony, that email was, of course, instantly leaked to the press. Apparently there are moles in the White House. And among them are likely to be Wiles and Trump himself. The Wiles threat memo is a blatant contradiction of the claims by Trump’s communications staff that he is the most transparent president ever. To the contrary, he may be the most secretive. Although he preens before the media scrum with uncommon frequency, that can’t be described as transparency if all he does is lie and dodge. For instance, Trump still refuses to release all of the unredacted Epstein files.

What’s more, Wiles decrees that “Unauthorized leaks will not be tolerated.” So then only “authorized leaks” will be allowed? Another way of saying “authorized leaks” is “propaganda.” And the press really should stop disseminating it.

The paranoid state of Trump appears to be serving as a role model for his Cabinet. Last week Trump’s FBI boss, Kash Patel was so outraged by a critical article written about him that he launched an investigation of the author, Sarah Fitzpatrick, and ordered polygraph tests of his senior staff and security detail.

There are additional examples of Trump regime paranoia in his “Justice” Department, where he has directed his Attorneys General (first Pam Bondi and now Todd Blanche) to initiate probes and indictments of anyone who was ever affiliated with an investigation of Trump’s criminal activities, including James Comey, John Brennan, Jerome Powell, Letitia James, and even several members of Congress. He has also orchestrated a massive purge of DoJ lawyers, crippling the Department’s ability to engage in efficient law enforcement.

And through it all, Trump remains focused on the issues that have always mattered most to him – Himself! Although his incompetent attempts at self-exaltation continue to be more humiliating than complimentary…

Trump's post is from a month old poll by the ultra right-wing Napolitan News Service (aka Rasmussen). The question is absurd. Nobody wants Iran to have nukes.In a more recent Napolitan poll, "Only 34% of voters favored the attacks on Iran, while 59% opposed them."
