Trump’s ODS (Obama Derangement Syndrome) Flares as He Whines About His Abysmal Approval Ratings

Posted by on October 26, 2026 at 2:32 pm. 2 Comments :

One of the most troubling characteristics of malignant narcissists like Donald Trump is that when they are challenged and feel threatened their anxiety is elevated and their adverse reactions jacked up to ever more extreme levels. As a result they lash out more violently and incoherently as they struggle to maintain their perceptions of themselves as superior and perfect.

Barack Obama, Donald Trump

That behavior has been observed in Trump for years. And as time passes, his condition is exacerbated by repeated public failures and the dire toll of age. His ability to comprehend reality has declined, while his delusions of grandeur rise to absurdity.

SEE THIS: DELUSIONAL: Trump Was Asked About His Record Low Approval Rating That He Thinks Is 60%

On Monday morning CNN’s data analyst, Harry Enten, did a segment on polling that compared Trump to one of his most despised political foes, former President Barack Obama. And the results are just the sort of findings that fuel the fire of Trump’s temper tantrums. Enten revealed in part that…

“President Obama absolutely crushes president Trump when it comes to who is more liked by the American public….

“Who has been the better president? Barack Obama comes in at 55%, Donald John Trump comes in at just 37%…

“President Barack Obama is far more popular than president Donald Trump is. And Americans overwhelmingly agree that Obama was the better president than Donald Trump.”

I hope Natalie shows Trump this clip of Harry Enten comparing Obama's popularity with his unpopularity

Oh my. That’s surely going to trigger Trump’s acute case of ODS (Obama Derangement Syndrome). Particularly because Trump has lately been selectively and deceptively citing CNN and Enten to boost his public image.

MORE HERE: Trump Praised a Clip From CNN (Fake News?) That He Played at His Rally – Here’s What He Left Out

Among the recent flagrant lies Trump has delivered about his polling were comments made in a bizarre and tediously lengthy comment on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social. The posting was more than 1,300 words of pure slop wrapped in a bitter harangue aimed at Bill Maher for briefly mentioning Trump’s record low approval ratings. Trump raged that…

“Using Fake Polls, he also said I had my Lowest Ratings so far, ‘and even the Republican Party doesn’t like him,’ but that’s not true. I have High Ratings and, more importantly, he said that I’m losing the support and approval of the Republican Party when, in fact, CNN just came out with a Poll showing that I’m at 98 and 99% support within the Republican Party, an All Time Record High.”

Needless to say, everything Trump said was false. In reality, CNN’s most recent poll showed Trump with 74% approval among Republicans, a new low. But it was enough to trigger his CNN polling rant that was wedged into the following schizoid posting (don’t bother reading it unless you have a lot of spare time and a strong stomach):

Trump began this insane 1,300+ word harangue saying, "Let's talk about this COMPLETE AND TOTAL LOSER, Bill Maher."LET'S NOT! This is an unreadable tirade triggered by Maher briefly mentioning Trump's record low approval ratings. And he says he doesn't care. Really? REALLY?

Another example of Trump’s ODS was evident at his cult rally last week. Even in the midst of his midterm campaign tour’s stump speech, Trump couldn’t help but take time to complain about Obama. And this particular complaint oddly reveals that he actually watches Obama’s rallies. Probably just to get material that he can lie about.

Trump Praised a Clip From CNN (Fake News?) That He Played at His Rally – Here’s What He Left Out

Posted by on October 10, 2026 at 4:56 pm. 0 Comments :

For several months the polls for the upcoming midterm election have been showing signs of a massive Blue Tsunami that is predicted to flush out the Republican majorities in Congress. And as election day draws closer, the polls have only gotten worse for Donald Trump and his MAGA Party.

Donald Trump, CNN

As Trump and the GOP candidates he has endorsed flounder, Trump manages to retain his confidence that the only problem with the election is that the public hasn’t seen enough of Trump. Consequently, he has pledged to abandon his presidential duties and devote himself to rescuing his party. Although many of them are asking him not to bother. So he has narrowed his itinerary to mostly solid red states.

SEE THIS: GOOD NEWS: Trump Will Be Campaigning for Republicans ‘Every Single Day’ Until the Election

On Friday Trump took his red eye rally express to Syracuse, New York. And while there he thought it would be a good idea to play a deceitfully edited video of something he saw on CNN. Not only was this video from a network that he despises, but it was on a subject that he insists is totally corrupt: Polling. Nevertheless, Trump introduced the clip saying that…

“I saw a chart, because CNN is very unfriendly territory, they’re fake news, but this time I believe them 100%. Because they did a chart, and I respect them for putting it up, but they did a couple of very important charts.”

Whereupon Trump played the video of CNN’s data analyst, Harry Enten, saying that…

“MAGA GOP on Trump in the 2024 election versus Kamala Harris he got 99% of the MAGA GOP vote. But surprisingly. I might have thought it would be 100%. But it was 99%. Compare that to his approval rating now with the MAGA GOP. It’s 98%. That is, there has been no real decline in MAGA support.”

Enten concluded that Trump’s support among the MAGA GOP is “really holding up strong.” And why not? IT’S A CULT! However, what Trump didn’t play for his cult rally devotees was the remainder of the CNN segment where Enten revealed that only 50-60% of Republicans identify as MAGA. Which means that, since only 28% of U.S. adults identify directly as Republicans, MAGA is only about 14-17% of the electorate.

Enten went on to note what he called a “troubling sign for Republicans,” that Trump’s approval among all Republicans declined by 14 points (from 94% to 80%) since 2024. And those Republicans who strongly approved of Trump declined by 24 points (from 71% to 47%, less than half) since the beginning of 2025.

It is so monumentally hypocritical and dishonest for Trump to brag about CNN’s reporting, when he only shows a small piece of it. The rest of the segment showed how dismal Trump’s standing is with the Republican Party and the American people. He left all of that out. And he calls CNN fake news?

It’s kind of funny that Trump is embracing something that he saw on CNN, a network that he relentlessly accuses of being treasonous. Even worse, it’s one of the networks that he has actually banned from covering him. But now, because he – or more likely someone on his staff (Natalie Harp?) – was able to cherry-pick a few seconds that he thinks makes him look good, he “believes them 100%.”

Trump can do this because he knows that none of his gullible cult disciples will ever see the parts of the video that he cut out. They don’t watch CNN. Furthermore, he knows that his MAGA-tists are going to fawn over whatever he says. And it’s because of them that he thinks he is universally beloved, even though they are a tiny minority. So he runs around the country thinking that his presence will produce a nationwide Republican victory.

Trump may be sorely disappointed when the actual election results come in. And when they do, he will become the lamest of ducks. Although he will still just say the election was rigged. Because he thinks he’s infallible and more popular than Jesus.

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

Posted by on September 21, 2026 at 12:54 pm. 2 Comments :

Last week Donald Trump took a giant leap toward cementing his legacy as the most media averse president in American history. Although he relies on the press to satiate his massive yet fragile ego, he simultaneously despises it for not being constantly obedient and adoring.

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

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

These colliding psychoses that plague Trump resulted in his declaration of an unambiguously anti-American, unconstitutional banning of several news organizations that had the audacity to report the truth about him. Proving, once again, that he is a big baby who is scared witless. And with that CNN, MS NOW, and Politico were prohibited from covering Trump’s public appearances at the White House and elsewhere.

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

The backlash from Trump’s assault on the First Amendment was furious from all quarters. Democrats and some Republicans have condemned Trump’s actions. Free press advocates have issued statements promising to fight back in court against his censorship. All five TV news networks that provide White House pool coverage of Trump – ABC, CBS, NBC CNN and Fox News (that’s right, even Fox News!) – have announced that they are suspending coverage of Trump because of his media ban and trashing of the Constitution.

However, Trump himself is undeterred in his crusade against the free press and his determination to suppress all critical opinions of him and his criminal regime. He posted the following comment on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social…

“The White House is not instituting an assault on the Free Press, something which I cherish. It is instituting an assault on the FAKE NEWS, something that has grown like Cancer in our beloved United States of America. It is corrupt, purposeful, pervasive, fully coordinated, and totally out of control. It is a threat to our National Security, and must be stopped, NOW! Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

There’s a lot of flaming bullshittery stuffed into that brief paragraph. To begin with, Trump doesn’t “cherish” the free press. He cherishes free fawning publicity. Furthermore, he is making a ludicrous distinction between the free press and what he calls “FAKE NEWS.” In his twisted mind any news that is less than wholly worshipful is fake. And anything that he decides is fake is cancerous and corrupt and must be stopped.

Trump’s delusions of grandeur have often led him to make bizarre assertions to excuse his atrocities. But in this comment he goes farther than usual. Now he is accusing the media of being “a threat to our National Security.” Is that a precursor to his outlawing journalists and/or news networks? His tedious whining about fake news was bad enough, but now he is using the same language to describe media that he doesn’t like as he does to describe foreign enemies and terrorists.

Trump’s comment shows that he is embracing the authoritarian policies of his idols and mentors, Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Kim Jong Un, whose friendships he often celebrates. But American is not Russia or China or North Korea. And he is not likely to get away with it. Already the networks that Trump banned have begun their efforts to fight back. As reported by CNN…

“‘This morning, we notified the government that we are filing a lawsuit today to protect our First Amendment rights and defend the principle that the government does not decide what the press reports or publishes,’ the three news organizations said in a joint statement on Monday.”

Trump’s charging that the media constitutes a national security threat is a new tactic that he has begun using in order to impose his tyranny on the nation. After being criticized and ridiculed for his vanity ballroom, Trump said that he added an underground bunker and drone ports so that he could claim it is necessary for national security.

Likewise, Trump now says that his egomaniacal triumphal arch was modified to include more drone ports, sniper blinds, and munitions storage. Gee, what could go wrong by placing a munitions dump in the middle of a densely populated city where terrorists could blow it up and kill thousands? But for Trump it’s another excuse to claim that it’s a national security necessity.

What’s next? Will Trump declare that elections in which he and his MAGA confederates don’t win is a threat to national security? Will he just declare that the Democratic Party is a threat to national security? Maybe he will declare that the Constitution itself is a national security threat. Which actually is what he is already doing…

UPDATE I: Trump has just announced the launch of TRUMP TV. Which appears to be his state media stab at exalting himself.

UPDATE II: “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.”

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.”

Trump Says ‘CNN is in a DEATH SPIRAL’ and That ‘Literally Nobody is Watching’ – Except Him?

Posted by on August 29, 2026 at 1:33 pm. 1 Comments :

On any given day Donald Trump can reliably be found deeply engaged in important presidential activities on behalf of the American people. Those activities run the gamut from renaming lakes, to renovating pools and statues, to sucking up to foreign dictators, to winning tournaments at his own golf resorts.

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

Donald Trump, CNN

In addition to those chores, Trump is faithfully devoted to one of his most critical functions: Hate-watching television news programs. That may be his second favorite office obligation after casting blame for his mistakes on his fellow Republicans, or criticizing them for being less than sufficiently worshipful.

SEE THIS: Trump Blasts the Republican Party, Whining ‘They Don’t Fully Grasp How Badly They Are F*ing Up’

On Saturday morning Trump posted an urgent message on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, about what he has observed in the mediaspace that takes priority over resolving his reckless and illegal war in Iran, or the festering affordability crisis that he created but says is a hoax. He raged that…

“CNN is in a DEATH SPIRAL, and so is MSNOW, the new name for MSDNC — Literally, nobody is watching either Network! The best person on CNN is Pollster Harry Enten, because he was willing to show that Donald J. Trump is six times more popular than Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, or any other President — He’s got Credibility (Don’t fire him!). CNN can be turned around with new Leadership and Anchors (MSNOW cannot!), because a Great Brand can never truly be destroyed!”

First of all, it needs to be noted that Trump has been declaring that CNN and other media outlets have been dead or dying for years. It’s a long list that includes his Ministry of Propaganda Fox News, ABC, CBS, NBC, MS NOW, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and even late night comedy shows like Seth Meyers. But they are all still around and thriving. So either they have superhuman sustaining powers, or they are zombies.

Also, Trump’s claim that “Literally, nobody is watching,” tells us two things. One: That Trump has absolutely no idea what the television ratings landscape looks like today. And two: That Trump has no idea what what the word “literally” means. Because literally millions of people are watching CNN, MS NOW, and the other news networks.

Despite his open hostility, Trump went on to express his appreciation for CNN’s Senior Data Analyst, Harry Enten, for being “willing” to present some positive information about Trump. Although Trump mischaracterized Enten’s reporting as showing that Trump is “six times more popular” than any other president. What Trump left out was that Enten’s report actually said that Trump’s popularity was limited only to Republicans. To the general population he remains deeply underwater, and lagging far behind President Obama.

What’s more, Enten has regularly featured polling that shows Trump’s approval is at record lows and is on a starkly downward path. And now Trump has established that he regards Enten as a “credible” reporter and pollster. So now everyone – including the MAGA cultists – can rely on his reporting about how broadly Trump is despised.

They should take a look at the following clips of Enten revealing the dismal prospects for Trump and his MAGA movement. Maybe it will finally sink in that they have been duped by a con man who is only in it for himself.

Delusional Trump Whines that Americans are ‘Angry at Republicans, But They’re Not Angry At Me’
ENTEN: “In the 2024 election he won [working class voters] by 13 points…But look at this now. Minus 19 points…This is a 32 point shift away from the president…’Adios, goodbye Mr. President, We don’t like you anymore.'”

FLYING KETCHUP ALERT: Trump is Polling Worse than Both Biden and Carter on Inflation
ENTEN: “Donald John Trump is in the worst position he has ever been in on inflation. And more than that, these are the worst numbers I’ve ever seen for any president. […] Trump is 49 points underwater.”

WTF? After Lauding Lindsey Graham, Trump Rants ‘We’re Trying to Have CNN Go On a Normal Path’?

Posted by on July 12, 2026 at 3:25 pm. 0 Comments :

The unexpected passing of South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham has produced the highly expected eulogizes and criticisms that occur whenever a prominent political figure checks out. Graham was a complex character who once called Donald Trump a “jackass” and “a race-baiting bigot,” who was “unfit for office,” before becoming a devoted Trump sycophant.

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

Lindsey Graham, Donald Trump

For his part, Trump wasn’t always so complimentary toward Graham either. As usual, when anyone disagrees with Trump about anything, they become his enemy. That was the case when Trump and Graham had a difference of opinion on abortion and Trump complained that “Graham should spend more time focusing on…the millions of people dying in senseless, never-ending Wars that he constantly favors and promotes.”

SEE THIS: Trump Has a Manic Meltdown Over His Sycophant Lindsey Graham Disagreeing with Him on Abortion

Now that Graham has shuffled off this mortal coil, Trump is predictably exploiting his passing for his own political benefit. During an interview with Jake Tapper on CNN, Trump expressed his desire to to reign tyrannically over the media…

Tapper: I know you don’t want to talk about any other issues out of respect for Lindsey Graham, but we would love to have you back sometime because I do have a lot of other questions for you.
Trump: Sure. We will do that. We’re trying to have CNN go on a normal path.’

TAPPER: I know you don't want to talk about any other issues out of respect for Lindsey Graham, but we would love to have you back sometime bc I do have a lot of other questionsTRUMP: Sure. We're trying to have CNN go on a normal pathT: I'm on a normal path right here, sirTRUMP: Good. You are.

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-07-12T14:22:09.966Z

REALLY? Trump says the quiet part out loud again. His intention to “have CNN go on a normal path,” means that the network transforms into another Fox News with its pending acquisition by his billionaire pals, David and Larry Ellison. His definition of “normal” isn’t normal. And he isn’t shy about admitting his aspirations to reign over the media the way his idols in Russia and North Korea do.

However, Trump wasn’t finished “grieving” over the loss of his cult disciple. Trump had the following exchange with Tapper later In the same segment:

Tapper: The US and Iran have been engaging back in forth in strikes over the last few days and overnight. Are we back at war? And who controls the Strait of Hormuz?
Trump: Well, out of respect for Lindsey, I’m not talking about that. We hit them very hard last night. So I don’t want to talk about it. But I will say we hit them very hard last night. We had a deal with them yesterday. They were giving up everything. Then all of a sudden two hours after that they hit a ship with a drone. And I said ‘these people, there’s something wrong with them.’

Notice that Tapper asked Trump a question about Iran, a war that Lindsey Graham strongly supported and wanted to escalate. Trump says that “Out of respect for Lindsey, I’m not talking about it.” Then he just keeps talking about it anyway. So respectful. How about having some respect for the American people who oppose the war?

In addition to that, Trump also used Graham’s demise to boost his crusade for his “Save America Act,” aka the Voter Suppression Act. Trump said that…

“Where he was really becoming strong was the SAVE America Act. And I think he was gonna be there very strongly on the filibuster. He was against terminating the filibuster. And I think he was doing that because he said we have a budget coming up, and we have debt ceiling coming up. And the Democrats are deranged, and they’re not gonna be able to do it. And he was coming aboard, I think for the filibuster, terminating the filibuster.”

Notice here that Trump told Tapper that Graham “was against terminating the filibuster.” Then, 14 seconds later says that “He was coming aboard for, I think, terminating the filibuster.” Which is about as grossly exploitive of the recently departed as you can get. Trump was literally putting words into a dead man’s mouth to selfishly help himself politically.

Not to worry though. Trump just wants for CNN go on a normal path. Where normal means making everything – including the mortality of your friends and colleagues – about yourself and what you want for your own benefit. Which has been a core personality trait of Trump’s for as long as he has been in the public eye. Some things never change.

Trump’s White Trashing of the White House with His Tacky UFSemen Fest Even Disgusts Republicans

Posted by on June 12, 2026 at 2:58 pm. 0 Comments :

For someone who was born into a wealthy family, Donald Trump has none of the attributes of a typical snobby elitist the high society tastes of his upper crusty peers. To the contrary, Trump has always exhibited the sleaziest classlessness of those he regards as uncultured peasants and revels in looking down upon.

Donald Trump, Biggest Loser

Trump has presided over the bedazzling of the White House with gaudy thrift store filigree. He has made an obsession of “renovating” public spaces and symbols by gilding them in a manner that would embarrass the poshest royalty. And he has done much of that with tributes to himself, adding his own name and/or pumpkinized likeness. Although not always successfully.

SEE THIS: Trump Freaks Out Over Kennedy Center Ruling – Gets Fluffed by Maria Bartiromo on Fox News

As it turns out, Trump’s trashy tastes are not shared by the vast majority of the American people. The findings of new polls by Reuters/Ipsos and Fox News reveal just how far Trump is from having any connection to the people that he purports to represent. The polls sought the public’s opinions as to the appropriateness of Trump’s UFC cage matches that he is staging at the White House. As reported by CNN’s Harry Enten…

“Americans don’t find this thing to be appropriate. Take a look. Just 16% overall. And among Republicans – even among Republicans, you know the diehard base Republican Party with Trump through thick and thin – just 31% of Republicans.” […]

“Americans just don’t think that Donald Trump and this White House is in touch with them. Because they put on stuff like that that Americans don’t really care about. Take a look here. [Those who] say the White House is out of touch with people like you, 60% overall. We’re talking about 3 in 5 Americans. And look among Independents. 80% of Independents say that the White House is out of touch with people like them.”

Harry Enten: Just 16% of Americans say UFC White House fights are appropriate. Even among Republicans, just 31%. 28% of Americans believe in telepathy.

— FactPost (@factpostnews.bsky.social) 2026-06-12T17:47:54.769165704Z

Those are some seriously abysmal stats. Particularly those among Trump’s own party. No wonder his approval ratings are in the toilet. The UFC project is something that has consumed much of Trump’s time. And even though the UFC says they are paying for the production, It will cost taxpayers millions of dollars in security, traffic, sanitation, and municipal costs. It glorifies violence. And it is a project that will enrich a Trump friend, and that even the Trump family will personally profit from.

Taking this together with the billion dollars he’s spending on his vanity ballroom, and the millions that will be sunk into the Reflecting Pool, and what he has wasted on the Kennedy Center, and his paving over of the White House Rose Garden, and his proposed D.C. arch, and you have an idea of what Trump’s real interests are. They are not the interests of the American people.

Meanwhile, Trump continues to wage a reckless and illegal war against Iran. He is neglecting the financial burdens of the nation for necessities such as groceries, gas, housing, and healthcare. He is seeking to slash benefits for Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. He is attacking citizens for exercising their First Amendment rights. He is persecuting immigrants who are seeking a better life for their families. He is embracing foreign adversaries and alienating allies. And he is suppressing the free press.

The Trump agenda is a perfect storm of callous disregard for the welfare the nation and its people. But perhaps the worst part of all of this is that Trump knows precisely how much the people despise him and his policies. We know he watches CNN and the reports by Harry Enten, because he frequently whines about them. So he likely knows about this reports as well. He just doesn’t care.

Maybe he will care more after the midterm elections when he and his MAGA party feel the wrath of the American people.

HUH? Trump Now Says His Weaponization Fund Was to Compensate People Who Were Abused – By the Media?

Posted by on June 4, 2026 at 1:56 pm. 0 Comments :

It’s getting more difficult every day to keep track of the myriad explanations and excuses that Donald Trump dispenses to the press for whatever calamity happens to be gnawing at his rapidly decomposing brain matter. The problem with trying to comprehend Trump’s explosive diarhetoric is that he continuously alters it fit into his always evolving fantastical version of reality.

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

Donald Trump, CNN

For instance: Tariffs don’t impact American consumers. No, I’m removing some tariffs to help American consumers. And: My vanity ballroom won’t cost taxpayers a penny. No, the ballroom is going to cost a billion dollars for national security. And: I had nothing to do with canceling Stephen Colbert. No, I’ve taken out many bad political pundits including Stephen Colbert. And: We’re at war with Iran. No, the war is over. No, it wasn’t a war to begin with, it was an excursion. And now Trump is doing the same with his “weaponization” slush fund…

SEE THIS: DEMOCRATS: Claim Your Share From Trump’s $1.776 Billion ‘Anti-Weaponization’ Slush Fund

During a press avail at the White House on Thursday, Trump engaged in a brief exchange with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins. She asked him about his now abandoned slush fund, and he replied in the typically rude and flagrantly dishonest manner that has become his hallmark.

Collins: Just to clarify on what you were asked earlier, is the $1.8 billion DOJ fund dead or is it on hold?
Trump: It’s — I’d have to ask the lawyers, I don’t know. I know one thing: The weaponization fund, as far as I’m concerned was a beautiful thing. It was something I was — I didn’t make it, but I was — I heard that I thought that was the greatest thing because people like you…have abused our people so badly – Be quiet — have abused our people so badly and you should be ashamed of yourself. […] CNN does such false reporting, but now they have new ownership, so maybe it’ll straighten it out. I doubt it, but it’s hard to straighten garbage out. But CNN has abused and others have abused so badly.

WTF IS TRUMP TALKING ABOUT?He is not only being grossly disrespectful to Kaitlan Collins of CNN, he is saying that his illegal $1.8 billion "weaponization" fund was to compensate people who were abused by the media. That's a new one from the Demented One.

There is a lot to unravel in that stream of incoherence. First of all, Trump’s claim of ignorance – while on the surface is believable considering his cognitive dysfunction – in this case is ridiculous. He knows exactly what happened with the fund because he was responsible for it. And the lawyers to whom he refers are his lawyers.

More to the point, Trump is not only being grossly disrespectful (as usual) to Collins by dismissively ordering her to “be quiet,”, he is also saying that his illegal slush fund was intended to compensate the January 6th insurrectionists who he now says were abused by the media, rather than law enforcement and the prosecutors who held them accountable for their seditious crimes, many of whom pleaded guilty.

Trump’s original claim that his StormTrumpers were badly treated by law enforcement was preposterous on its face. Which is why he has dropped it under pressure from his own MAGA Republicans in Congress and the MAGA media. But this new assertion is even more bizarre. There is no legal justification for his attempting to use taxpayers dollars to compensate his criminal cult devotees for anything that was said about them by the media.

If Trump’s rioters really thought that they were abused by the media, they could seek compensation by filing defamation lawsuits on their own. But they would have to prove that the media lied with malice. And since there is zero chance that they could do that, they would promptly get laughed out of court.

Getting laughed out of court just happens to be the proper response to any litigation that Trump dredges up. Unfortunately, there are still a few of his flunkies in robes who willingly do his bidding. But that state of affairs won’t last forever. And before long the time come will come when he and his goon squad will be brought to justice.

Trump Humiliates Himself in a Hysterical Interview By His Daughter-in-Law Lara Trump on Fox News

Posted by on May 31, 2026 at 1:50 pm. 2 Comments :

There really is no one who does more damage to Donald Trump than Donald Trump. With every public appearance he makes he pours out buckets of bullpucky that is decidedly detrimental, with an emphasis on the “mental.”

Fox News, Lara Trump, My View

Saturday night Trump courageously exposed himself to a potential PR disaster by agreeing to be interviewed by the most intimidating inquisitor on Fox News, Lara Trump. Who just happens to also be his daughter-in-lawlessness. And that family connection is being actively exploited as Lara’s husband Eric is threatening to file a defamation lawsuit against Jen Psaki and MS NOW, Lara and Fox’s competition.

SEE THIS: JUST LIKE DADDY: Eric Trump Threatens to Sue MS NOW and Jen Psaki for Telling the Truth About Him

During the father/daughter-in-law interview, Trump dropped some juicy news bites. And as always, they were more revealing of his own personality disorders, than of anything derogatory he intended about his perceived enemies. What follows are a few of those nuggets of Trump’s dementia.

FIRST: For the umpteenth time Trump basked in the glory of how beloved he is as shown in a poll that doesn’t exist.

Despite incessantly insulting CNN as “fake news,” Trump made a point of praising their data analyst, Harry Enten, who had nothing to do with the NBC poll, other than to refer to it. He has also misrepresented the findings that showed Trump’s approval is only 66% among Republicans. So a third (31%) of his own party doesn’t approve of him. Also notable is the wretch-inducing painting in the background for this interview that took place in the White House foyer.

SECOND: Trump sought to display how knowledgeable he is about America’s voting processes.

Never mind that Trump got literally everything wrong. Of course, it isn’t the first time he’s done that. He recently claimed that if Jesus came down and counted the votes in California, he would have won the notoriously Democratic state.

THIRD: Trump’s dementia was on full display as he contradicted himself within seconds about his alleged successes in Iran.

Trump has been claiming to have totally obliterated Iran’s military since the first few days of his reckless and illegal war. And he has been promising that the war’s end is just days away. Which he has been promising for months.

FOURTH: Perhaps most bizarre is Trump’s proof that he is intellectually superior to us mere mortals.
He tells Lara that most people don’t know that the word “dumb” ends with a “B.” However, Trump watchers know that whenever he says something about what other people don’t know, it’s really something that he just learned himself.

Throughout this parade of pitiful pompousness, Lara never asked a single follow up question or challenged the obviously lies told by her sugardaddy-in-law. But as the host on Trump’s State TV Ministry of Propaganda, would would she?

Trump Mocks Up a Fake CNN Article Praising His Summit with Xi Jinping that Achieved Nothing

Posted by on May 15, 2026 at 2:43 pm. 1 Comments :

With the conclusion of his little excursion to China, Donald Trump is returning home with little to nothing to show for the summit with Xi Jinping that he promised would be historic.

Donald Trump, CNN

It’s not that there weren’t critical issues to negotiate and resolve. Trump might have secured agreements on anything from billions of dollars in trade deals, to the looming threat to Taiwan, to how China might help or hinder Trump’s floundering fiasco in Iran. But Trump failed to advance any of those initiatives. Although he did succeed in pounding out dozens of deranged comments on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, while he was there.

It’s difficult to imagine what Trump and his delegation hoped to achieve, considering they only planned to be there for two days. That is hardly enough time to hammer out difficult agreements, some of which have been unresolved for years. So in lieu of actually accomplishing anything real, Trump decided to post an article praising his magnificent dealmaking prowess that was supposedly published by CNN (which he calls fake news). There is is just one little thing wrong with what Trump posted.

Trump posted this image of a CNN article on Truth Social. It doesn't exist on CNN's website.The text is accurate, but edited to remove all the criticism of Trump. I guess he just really needed something to brag about since his summit in China with Xi Jinping achieved nothing.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-05-15T20:19:43.716Z

That’s right. There is no such article on CNN’s website. The image was totally made up. No wonder Trump calls CNN fake news. He’s the one creating the fakery. While the text is in part accurate, it was also edited to remove all of the critical articles of Trump that CNN also posted. For instance, “China shows export resilience despite Trump’s tariffs and Iran war,” and “Trump not committing to Taiwan arms sale marks a win for China,” and “Trump Leaves China Short on Deliverables.” I wonder why he left those out.

The story that Trump featured was a puff piece that quoted a Chinese professor who used to be the regime’s interpreter. The photo in Trump’s post said it was his motorcade “as it leaves the hotel in Beijing on Thursday,” but was actually taken during his trip to China in 2017. And the text of the story didn’t contain a single accomplishment, despite describing the summit as “very successful,” and a “truly a historical moment.” On the basis of what?

This is all typical of Trump’s modus operandi, which is to fail pitifully, and then declare victory anyway. He’s been been declaring victory in Iran for two months, even though Iran continues to keep the Strait of Hormuz closed, U.S. military remains in the region and at risk, costing a couple of billion dollars a day, and the cost of gas and other necessities has skyrocketed for American consumers.

Trump once told American voters that if they elected him they would experience so much winning that they wouldn’t be able to stand any more winning. At the time it just seemed like standard Trumpian babbling. But now that we know what his definition of “winning” is, it all makes sense.
