Big Baby Trump Throws a Tantrum, Refuses to Sign Housing Bill Unless He Gets Voter Suppression

Posted by on July 10, 2026 at 2:48 pm. 0 Comments :

The childish antics of America’s Toddler-in-Chief, Donald Trump, continue to cast an embarrassing shadow over his occupation of the White House and, unfortunately, the entire nation. His malignant narcissism is always the driving force for every decision he makes and is revealed in every public utterance.

Donald Trump

On Friday Trump provided yet another example of his obsessive fixation on himself and what matters most to him, rather than what matters to the American people who he is supposed to be serving. Lately Trump’s attention has been focused singularly on shoving his absurdly named “Save America Act” down the throats of the Congress and the nation’s voters who mostly oppose it. In recent surveys just 37 percent of Americans said they support it. And it is no mystery why…

SEE THIS: UH-OH: Trump Admits that His Phony ‘Save America Act’ is Really Meant to Rig Elections for MAGA

Trump took precious time away from his critical presidential duties of cleaning up fountains and monuments, and building vanity tributes to himself, in order to further advance his Voter Suppression Act. The comment that he posted on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, raged that…

“I will not sign the Housing Bill, which has been fully approved by Congress and sent to the White House, in PROTEST over the fact that the United States Senate is not capable of passing THE SAVE AMERICA ACT […] If the Dumocrats, or any RINO (or worse!) working with them, do not allow a positive Vote on SAVE AMERICA, TERMINATE THE FILIBUSTER, and pass this.”

Big Baby Trump is throwing another tantrum with his refusal to sign the Housing Bill, because the GOP-run Senate won't (can't) pass his so-called "Save America Act" (aka Voter suppression Act).Trump is prioritizing rigging the election for Republicans over helping Americans afford housing.

OH NOES! Trump is withholding his signature “in PROTEST!” And if he doesn’t get his way, well, you better watch out! He knows that he and his party are facing electoral doom in the upcoming midterm elections so, in desperation, he is making impotent threats to prioritize a blatantly partisan bill intended to rig the election in favor of his MAGA Republicans, over enacting bipartisan legislation that would actually help Americans to afford housing.

What’s more, the Housing Bill passed both Houses of Congress with veto-proof margins. Trump’s Voter Suppression bill can’t even get enough votes in the Senate to pass from Republicans. So Trump’s threat to “TERMINATE THE FILIBUSTER” is pitifully hollow. And if Trump actually fails to sign the Housing Bill by midnight, and doesn’t veto it, it will become law without his signature anyway.

For the record, the Housing Bill was originally a legislative achievement that Republicans held up with pride. Even Trump’s Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, tweeted that Trump would sign the bill and called it “one of the most significant pieces of housing affordability legislation in American history,” and also said that the “historic bill signing is another promise made, promise kept.”

Not quite! That was all before Trump flipped on it. A few days after Leavitt’s tweet, Trump whined that “It’s a big yawn…To me, compared to the SAVE America Act, just about everything is a big yawn.” Which is emblematic of Trump’s attitude toward governing. If it doesn’t matter to him, it doesn’t matter. And just about everything that matters to the American people is “big yawn.” Is anyone surprised that Trump’s approval rating is in the toilet?

Trump Launches Fake ‘Freedom Fuel’ Gas Station Chain to Pretend that He Lowered Gas Prices

Posted by on July 7, 2026 at 3:29 pm. 0 Comments :

During the 2024 presidential campaign, Donald Trump made a flurry of promises that he said he would fulfill on “Day One” if he were reelected. They included ending Russia’s war against Ukraine, revealing a healthcare plan to replace Obamacare, and balancing the budget.

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

Donald Trump

Obviously, none of those promises, and several others, were kept. He never intended to keep them. They were just hollow pledges of things that he knew he couldn’t accomplish, but was compelled to flagrantly lie because he was so desperate for the votes that he needed to regain power and to stay out of prison.

SEE THIS: Republican James Comer Gives Fox News a Damn Good Reason to Vote Democratic and Flip the House

Another vacant promise that Trump made was that he would reduce the prices on necessities like groceries, housing, healthcare and gas. Instead, prices for those things went up after Trump’s reoccupation of the White House. And especially with regard to gas, the American people were burdened with higher costs directly related to Trump’s reckless and illegal war against Iran.

So what’s a pathological liar to do when he finds himself sinking to record lows in public approval due to problems that he created and for which he has no solution? Well, in Trump’s case, he relies on his imagined prowess for lying. On July 1, Trump posted a comment on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, that said…

“Just as I promised, Oil Prices are plummeting FAST, and Gas Prices at the pump are dropping too…I am pleased to announce that a VERY smart Retailer, located throughout the Northeast, is stepping up, and wishing the People of Philadelphia a ‘Happy Birthday!’ On July 3rd, the Freedom Fuel Network will be lowering gas prices at 25 ‘FREEDOM FUEL’ Stations across the Greater Philadelphia Area. This Retailer is taking the lead, and others should follow. They are doing this because they love the U.S.A.”

On the morning of July 7, Trump followed up his announcement with another that said that “FREEDOM FUEL HAS ARRIVED…lowering the price at the pump to $3.47 for our 47th President.”

There’s just one little problem. Trump’s “Freedumb Fuel” is not a real gas station chain: It is a promotional branding campaign that has fitted a measly half dozen existing stations with temporary signs plastered over those of the real station. Industry analysts noted these discounts are likely subsidized by an outside entity, as standard retailers would otherwise lose money on each gallon sold.

So the whole thing is just another Trump scam. It won’t last but a few days. It’s promotional price of $3.47 per gallon was chosen by Trump to honor himself as the 47th president. Even so, it’s still significantly more than the $3.12 per gallon that Trump inherited from President Biden, and which Trump promised to get down to $2.00.

Just like every other Trump fraud, this one is going to cause more problems for the American people. Gas prices are likely to go higher since the the Iran war is continuing, despite Trump insisting on an almost daily basis that it is already over.

Trump’s solution of throwing a sheet over all of the problems that he can’t solve isn’t going to work. It’s just going to make things worse. And while he may believe that people don’t see through his lies, he will find out in November that he’s wrong.

Trump’s Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt Tells Fox News that Gen Z is Lazy, So Send Them to Iran

Posted by on July 3, 2026 at 3:44 pm. 1 Comments :

The affordability crisis in America has been the most prominent storyline of the 2026 midterm election year. The hardships endured by people trying to cover bills for gas, groceries, housing, healthcare, and more, have been uppermost on the minds of voters, as well as most conscientious politicians. Which, by definition, leaves out Donald Trump.

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

Donald Trump and Karoline Leavitt

Throughout this debate Trump has distinguished himself by firmly taking positions on both sides. He has swung wildly from claiming credit for ending the the crisis, to insisting that it is a Democratic hoax that never existed in the first place. Most recently, Trump announced a campaign slogan that will surely resonate with the nation’s struggling families…

SEE THIS: Trump Reveals His Midterm Election Theme: ‘If The Communists Get In You’ll Never Fish Again’

In an attempt to reinforce the Trump regime’s position that affordability isn’t really a problem, Trump dispatched his Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, to her regular post on Fox News for a friendly interview with Jesse Watters. The segment delivered some of the most callously oblivious commentaries on the subject imaginable.

Watters: Some of these kids, and I call them kids because they’re in their 20s and they’ve never had real jobs and they’re complaining things are expensive in the U.S. Yes, things are expensive when you don’t have a real job. Do you think that’s getting traction? Complaining?
Leavitt: Unfortunately, I do because this generation, my generation, I hate to say it, Gen Z and those younger than me have been raised with just silver spoons in their mouths, just getting everything handed to them. That’s not the values this country was built on. […]
Watters: Is it laziness?
Leavitt: A little bit.
Watters: Because the professor said the country’s corrupt. It’s evil. And we just need to shake them down and hand money out.
Leavitt: It’s laziness and it’s liberal indoctrination. You bring up a great point about our education system. […]
Watters: I say if they misbehave just make all these young kids join the army.
Leavitt: Send them to Cuba. Send them to Iran.

So to start off, Watters asserts that the only reason things are perceived as expensive by young people is that they don’t have “real” jobs. And Leavitt agrees, accusing them of having been born into privilege and never knowing the meaning of work. Elaborating, they both malign them as “lazy.” They also both neglect to recognize that it isn’t just young people who are plagued by the economic burdens of the Trump agenda. Americans of all ages are well aware of Trump’s disastrous effect on the U.S. economy.

Leavitt and Watters are delivering a great message from the MAGA team in an election year during which they are already projected to suffer significant losses. They are telling a critical voting bloc that if you’re troubled with how expensive things are, it’s just because you’re a lazy communist who has been indoctrinated by evil college professors. Even worse, Leavitt and Watters propose that these spoiled, youthful, complaining, ingrates be forced to join the army and be sent to Cuba or Iran. That’ll teach ’em.

Leavitt went on to promote homeschooling and Christian schools for parents who “don’t want their children being taught these communist and liberal ideas slammed down their throat.” She prefers the fascist and conservative ideas embraced by Trump and his MAGA confederates. Which is an angle that Democrats will be happy to see Republicans adopting as November approaches. As is often the case, what Republicans are doing to advance their agenda will be truly fantastic – for Democrats.

RURAL REVOLT: Will Trump Lash Out At the ‘Radical Left Lunatic’ Rural Voters Who Now Hate Him?

Posted by on June 6, 2026 at 1:54 pm. 0 Comments :

Donald Trump once promised that if he was elected there would be so much winning that people would get sick of it. Well, he was partly right. He got elected, and people are sick. However, winning hasn’t been the catastrophe that he predicted.

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

Donald Trump Walking the Plank

Trump’s win/loss record is not exactly something to brag about. His economy is in the toilet. The Republican majority Congress just voted to rein in his war powers authority. His “weaponization” slush fund was ruled illegal in federal court. So were his inflationary tariffs. And his reckless and illegal war against Iran continues despite his relentless and impotent declarations of victory.

SEE THIS: BREAKING? The Iran War Will End in ‘Days’ According to Trump, Who Has Been Saying that for Months

No wonder Trump is also losing badly in polls measuring the public’s approval of him, or more accurately, disapproval. He has been hitting new lows with nearly every new survey. And it isn’t just his repulsive persona that is dragging him down. His policies are broadly unpopular, including economics, foreign affairs, immigration, and his multitude of ego-boosting projects to pay tribute to himself.

On Friday, CNN’s data analyst, Harry Enten, revealed the results of a new poll that specifically surveyed rural voters. That’s a demographic that has been among the most reliable group of supporters for Trump. But that is clearly not the case anymore. According To Enten…

“There seems to be a rural revolt going on in this country against Donald Trump. According to Fox News he was easily winning them back in October 2024 versus Kamala Harris. Eighteen points ahead.

“But look at where he is now. Down there, underwater, underneath the cornfields. He’s now 14 points underwater. That’s an over 30 point switcheroo against the president of the United States.[…] He is 19 points underwater with rural voters on inflation. That is an over 50 point switcheroo. Rural voters, like the rest of the country, turning against Trump on the key issue that got him elected to a second term back in 2024.”.

That’s right! According to a poll by Trump’s official Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, America’s rural voters are – as Enten notes – “like the rest of the country, turning against Trump.” And with good reason. Trump’s war has resulted in increases in costs for vital necessities in rural communities, including gas and other energy, fertilizer, groceries, and healthcare which is suffering from the closure of many rural hospitals and clinics.

Meanwhile, Trump’s wars and incompetent diplomacy has alienated America’s trading partners and resulted in international markets for American agricultural products to collapse. Here at home, the rise in prices for those products has depressed domestic shoppers. In short, Trump is presiding over a perfect storm of economic adversity that touches the lives of every American. And those in rural communities are no exception.

Consequently, Trump’s political tribulations are only just beginning. He knows that he is facing an epic season of disaster in the upcoming midterm elections. So he’s pulling out all the stops to advance his crackpot conspiracy theories of voting fraud. And, as usual, he’s providing no evidence whatsoever.

However, unlike his previous episodes of derangement, Trump cannot blame it all on what he calls “radical, left, lunatics.” That’s a label he’ll have a hard time sticking onto red state farmers and ranchers. But never underestimate Trump’s ability to swerve into hypocrisy and blind, rage-filled hate and retribution. He has already lost support among Latino voters, and youth, and even non-MAGA Republicans. So rural voters could very well be the next target of his wrath. Anyone who crosses him is vulnerable. No one is immune.

MAGA Mike Johnson Pitifully Tries to Cover For Trump Saying ‘I Don’t Care About the Midterms’

Posted by on June 3, 2026 at 2:22 pm. 0 Comments :

The upcoming midterm elections portend to be a disaster of epic proportions for Donald Trump and his Republican Party. Trump’s approval ratings are at record lows, and generic political party polling shows Democrats with significant advantages over the MAGA-ified GOP.

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

Donald Trump and Mike Johnson

Making matters worse, Trump is proving to be his own worst enemy with every utterance emanating from his pathologically lying lips. Even under the best, most favorably rigged circumstances, Trump manages to dig himself ever deeper into a hole that he has no chance of climbing out of.

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

So what does his chief representative in Congress do to rescue him from a dire electoral fate? Well, during a Wednesday morning press briefing, Republican House Speaker, MAGA Mike Johnson, tried to sane-wash some of Trump’s demented babbling. Last week Trump was asked about how his fiasco in Iran might impact the midterms. Trump replied that

“[Iran] thought they were gonna out wait me. ‘We’ll out wait him. He’s got the midterms.’ I don’t care about the midterms.”

Trump: "I don't care about the midterms"

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-05-27T16:06:36.364Z

That’s a pretty clear statement that Trump isn’t bothered by the broad public disapproval of his handling of the Iran quagmire. True to form, he’s going to do whatever he wants without regard to what the American people want, or what’s best for the nation. When this came up at Johnson’s press briefing, it elicited the following exchange…

Question: Trump says he doesn’t care about the midterms. Do you think he’s focused enough on domestic policy?
Johnson: What he said there has been taken out of context and it’s so unfair. This president is more laser focused and more dialed in on domestic issues here in the homeland than any president in memory. He spends more time working on domestic issues in one day than Joe Biden did in four. That’s an objective fact.

REALLY? After Trump said that he doesn’t care about the midterms, Johnson makes excuses saying that Trump was “taken out of context,” and that he “spends more time on domestic issues.” On on the former, it’s hard to imagine a positive context for saying he doesn’t care. But on the latter, to be fair, he’s kind of right, depending on how you define domestic issues…

After Trump said that "he doesn't care about the midterms," GOP Speaker MAGA Mike Johnson makes excuses saying that Trump "spends more time on domestic issues." And to be fair, he's kind of right.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-06-03T17:34:29.767Z

Suffice to say that Johnson didn’t help Trump with that nonsense reply. Trump’s domestic agenda has been nothing short of abysmal. The only thing that’s worse is his foreign agenda. But that didn’t stop Johnson and his House GOP lieutenants from making clowns of themselves. Notice the posters that he set up for the briefing. One of them asserts that while “Republicans are CUTTING YOUR TAXES, DEMOCRATS WERE TRANS-ING THE MICE (with $8.2 Billion of Your Tax Dollars).”

First of all, the “trans-ing the mice” reference is just as untrue as when Trump said it in a speech before Congress last year. He totally misunderstood a report on “transgenic” research on mice, which are genetic experiments done to study human illnesses, and have nothing to do with gender transitioning. And secondly, the only tax cutting that Trump has done was for corporations and the wealthy.

Johnson could have spared himself the trouble of covering for Trump’s asinine comments about not caring. Most Americans already know that he doesn’t care about them. He even said so on another occasion just last month when he defended his war against Iran and the economic harm it was doing here at home, saying that “I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation. I don’t think about anybody.” Yeah…We know.

GRIFTER-IN-CHIEF: Trump Lauds the Agency He Corrupted that Regulates His Own Family Crypto Scams

Posted by on May 27, 2026 at 2:34 pm. 1 Comments :

The fortune that Donald Trump has made since reoccupying the White House dwarfs that of many third world nations. He has amassed billions of dollars by opening channels through which conflicted donors, greedy corporations, and nefarious foreign operatives, could funnel funds directly – and secretly – into his pockets.

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

Trump Baby on Cash Pile

High the list of the money laundering enterprises that Trump developed is the Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG) that runs his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social. That business has wandered off into a variety of totally unrelated activities such as cryptocurrency, mutual funds, gambling, artificial intelligence, and nuclear fusion. None of which have helped it to avoid becoming a pitiful financial fiasco that has lost investors billions of dollars.

SEE THIS: YOU’RE FIRED: Trump Media’s CEO, Devin Nunes, Gets Booted From the Failing Truth Social Company

Nevertheless, Trump has successfully managed these failures in a way that still nets him a fortune. Part of the reason for that success is that Trump has gamed the system to always provide profitable benefits for him. And true to form, Trump makes sure to thank himself for his illicit largesse, as he did Wednesday morning in a Truth Social post. He wrote in part that…

“It is critically important that the CFTC’s exclusive authority over Prediction Markets is maintained, and that they will thrive. Under my leadership, we are setting ‘rules of the road’ that are the Gold Standard for the States. We cannot have SCUM like Chris Christie, Letitia James, Tim Walz, and JB Pritzker setting the rules!”

That’s right! You can only have SCUM like Trump, his family, and accomplices, setting those rules. Despite the fitting acronym, the CFTC is not the Commission For Trump Corruption. It is the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, which is responsible for regulating financial transactions in the commodities markets, as well as for cryptocurrency and prediction markets.

The latter two just happen to be ventures that the Trump family is heavily engaged in. Under normal circumstances there would be legal and ethical guardrails prohibiting a president and his family from having such unsavory business associations. But there is nothing normal about Trump and his family. So naturally he is exploiting those industries to his advantage. And he is likely reacting to recent news about his criminal tendencies. As reported by the New York Times…

How Prediction Markets and Crypto Firms Steamrolled a Watchdog Agency (May 24, 2026):
“The Commodity Futures Trading Commission purged its ranks, dialed back its enforcement and boosted industries in which President Trump’s family is heavily invested.”

“(T)the CFTC, the primary regulator of a specialized sector of the financial markets, has been mowed down by the powerful business interests it is supposed to oversee, a New York Times investigation found.

In the past 16 months of the Trump administration, the commission has shrunk its work force, purged career officials, sharply curtailed crypto enforcement and helped out prediction markets at virtually every turn, The Times found. […]

“The gutting of the agency is particularly notable because of the Trump family’s deep ties to the crypto and prediction industries.”

Like so many other government agencies during the Trump regime, Trump and his cronies have fired the career professionals at the CFTC and replaced them with Trump cult loyalists. This has been the case at the “Justice” Department, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the Department of Health and Human Services, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and many more, including that Offices of Inspectors General across all agencies.

Trump has presided over a dismantling of the systems that prevent corruption by government crooks. And he did it with the intention of blazing a trail for new wealth for himself and his billionaire pals. Unfortunately for the rest of the nation, it appears to be the one thing that he is actually any good at.

FLYING KETCHUP ALERT: Trump is Polling Worse than Both Biden and Carter on Inflation

Posted by on April 29, 2026 at 2:35 pm. 0 Comments :

The ego that devoured America – Donald Trump – is at risk of suffering a major mental malfunction if somebody on his team makes the mistake of showing him the latest polling numbers reported by CNN. Trump has repeatedly demonstrated his emotional instability when confronted by how much he is despised by the majority of the American people.

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

Donald Trump Walking the Plank

CNN’s Senior Data Analyst, Harry Enten, delivered the bad news for Trump on Wednesday morning. It comes on the heels of his embarrassing reaction to the disturbance at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday, wherein he sought to shamelessly exploit the event to bolster his lame arguments for building a gaudy golden palace ballroom on White House grounds.

SEE THIS: DISGUSTING: Trump Uses White House Correspondents Dinner Shooting to Justify His Vanity Ballroom

The Ipsos poll focused on the public’s feelings about the economy and inflation under Trump’s “leadership.” And it isn’t a pretty picture. As Enten noted…

Inflation “is the number one issue folks say is facing their families right now. And 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.”

Enten goes on to reveal that the poll shows Trump trailing both Joe Biden and Jimmy Carter, whose terms were notorious for having been badly hampered by inflation and other economic troubles. But Trump, who insists on being number one on everything, has managed to score the top spot on the list of worst presidents – again. Even a plurality of Republicans (45-39%) say that the country is “on the wrong track” since Trump reoccupied the White House.

Of course, Trump doesn’t care about inflation. He doesn’t care about the hardships of the American people. He surely doesn’t care what they think, or he wouldn’t lie so brazenly every time he opens his mouth.

What Trump cares about is spending half a billion dollars on his vanity ballroom, prosecuting his political enemies on phony charges, waging and losing reckless and unnecessary wars, rigging elections to preserve his power, filing lawsuits against the media, and engaging in blatant corruption to enrich himself and his billionaire friends. You know, all the things that the American people are most interested in. Right? RIGHT?

One more thing that Trump cares about is having his massive but fragile ego stroked. Which is why he holds Cabinet meetings where his flunkies take turns kissing his…let’s say ring, It’s why he is so obsessed with plastering his name and face on everything from currency, to federal buildings, to passports, to battleships, to government programs, and more. And it’s why he gets so outraged when he is certified to be a pitiful loser who is utterly demolished by the patriots that he abhors. That applies even more so when he loses to President Biden.

MORE HERE: CUE TRUMP TANTRUM: Multiple Polls Find that Most Americans Favor Biden Over Trump

There are good reasons why Trump is polling so badly. Virtually everything he does or says is contrary to what the American people want. They see right through his self-promotion and dishonesty. But rather than address those obvious shortcomings, Trump piles on more of the same, thinking that the quantity of assholyness will result in acceptance of it. And he is so demented that he can’t see how horribly that strategy is failing.

Unfortunately for Trump, it’s only going to get worse as he sinks deeper into the abyss. And none of his “loyal” cult devotees will have the courage to tell him, or to suggest that he change course. But they will will abandon ship after it’s already clear that the wreckage is destined for the ocean floor.

AMERICA FIRST? Trump Promises To Use ‘The Economic Might of the US To Strengthen Hungary’s Economy’

Posted by on April 11, 2026 at 2:44 pm. 0 Comments :

The political centerpiece of Donald Trump’s occupation of the White House has been the cheesy sloganeering that he stole from 1920s American fascists: “Make America Great Again.” That message presupposes that America wasn’t great to begin with. And Trump expanded that pessimistic point of view by insisting that he would always put “America First.”

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

Donald Trump

Trump’s promises with regard to his commitment to American supremacy are like all of his other promises. They are flimsy and unreliable and subject to being abandoned whenever they don’t advance his personal interests. And through it all Trump manages to imagine himself as a beloved leader that can do no wrong.

SEE THIS: Trump Desperately Clings to Wildly Adoring Polls, Doesn’t Mention They Only Polled His Supporters

In the fourteen months since Trump returned to power he has plainly demonstrated his ignorance and incompetence. He has wrecked the economy with higher inflation due to his tariffs and idiotic trade policies. He has destroyed faith in the law with his invasions of U.S. cities by ICE thugs and persecution of political foes. And he has launched a reckless and illegal war against Iran.

So how does all of that translate into fulfilling Trump’s pledge of achieving American greatness? Obviously it does not. And Trump’s response to that record of abysmal failure is to spend millions of taxpayer dollars erecting tributes to himself, such as a vanity ballroom, an arch of triumph, and plastering his name and pumpkin-hued mug on everything from the Kennedy Center to U.S. currency.

Trump is engaging in a festival of ego-fluffing that is reminiscent of the totalitarian dictators that he idolizes and seeks to emulate. Among them are Russia’s Vladimir Putin, North Korea’s Kim Jong Un, and Hungary’s Viktor Orbán. The latter of which is lately on Trump’s mind due to the election on Sunday that he is predicted to lose.

Trump has given Orbán his “Complete and Total Endorsement.” He even sent his Vice-President, JD Vance, to Hungary last week to campaign for Orbán. And most recently Trump posted a supportive comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, to buttress Orbán’s losing effort, saying that “My Administration stands ready to use the full Economic Might of the United States to strengthen Hungary’s Economy.”

Good to know. With everything that is going wrong in the U.S., Trump is focusing squarely on the political travails of a Hungarian authoritarian. And he’s using the “the full Economic Might” of the U.S. to bribe Hungarian voters to reelect someone that they clearly don’t want. Perhaps the American people would prefer that Might to be used to shore up America’s healthcare system, or resolve the homeless crisis, or improve education, or even just pay down the debt that Trump has exploded. But Trump has other priorities that include propping up his heroes.

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

For some background on Orbán, historian Timothy Snyder wrote an essay that summarizes much of the current obsession that Trump has with Orbán. He notes that Orbán is a subversive member of the European Union who often works to advance the interests of Europe’s enemies. Snyder wrote in part that…

“Viktor Orbán, the prime minister of Hungary, is a central figure in the international far right, and indeed the man, more than any other, who created the networks that normalized what he himself calls ‘illiberalism.’ Should he lose, as all signs indicate he will, this would be blow to far more familiar figures such as JD Vance and Donald Trump, who are Orbán’s pupils.” […]

“Orbán has done more than anyone else to generate negative propaganda about the European Union, treating it as a hostile enemy. […] His government opened EU territory to Russian and Chinese intelligence operations.”

There may, however, be a silver lining to the campaigning by Trump and Vance for Orbán. As reported by Newsweek…

“The likelihood Viktor Orbán winning Hungary’s upcoming parliamentary election has dropped since U.S. Vice President JD Vance made a speech endorsing him, according to the latest betting odds.”

Betting platforms Kalshi and Polymarket both show Orbán’s chances of winning have declined significantly since Trump’s endorsement and Vance’s visit. So maybe we should encourage Trump and company to do more campaigning for world leaders, and even for candidates here at home. His name is like poison to many voters.

UPDATE: Orbán not only lost, he lost big, with the winning Tisza Party gaining a supermajority in the Hungarian Parliament.

According to Donald Trump America is in the “Golden Age.” His starkly delusional misrepresentations of the state of the union paint a fantastical picture of a nation that he says is enjoying record levels of personal wealth. And for himself and his wealthy friends that’s true. However, for everyone else, Trump’s fallacies are a deliberate but futile effort to persuade the American people that they are uncommonly prosperous and happy.

Never mind the war that Trump started in Iran. Or his inflationary tariffs. Or his deployment of ICE thugs in U.S. cities. Or his suppression of voting and the free press. Undeterred by reality, Trump insists that he is the real Prince of Peace, and that he has single handedly driven down the costs of groceries, gasoline, housing, healthcare, and every other necessity of life that people are currently struggling to afford. And he expects his glassy-eyed disciples to believe those flagrant lies.

Emblematic of the financial fiascoes over which Trump presides is his famously failing Truth Social enterprise. The stock for his “Trump Media and Technology Group” (TMTG) has recently sunk to new lows. Almost exactly one year ago Trump announced his “Liberation Day” tariffs that he promised would generate trillions of dollars in GDP growth and eliminate inflation. But not only has that not materialized for the broader economy, his own TMTG stock (Truth Social) has dropped a whopping 68%. In April of 2025 it was trading at about $26.20 per share. As of Friday it’s still a dud at about $8.50.

So what is a plummeting investment scammer to do under these conditions? Well, obviously they are introducing a new layer of corruption to fleece more funds from their feeble flock. Which is why TMTG just announced that…

“Trump Media and Technology Group Corp. plans to issue a new cryptocurrency, which will be distributed among its shareholders. […] The coins won’t represent ownership of DJT shares, and may not be transferable or exchanged for cash.”

This new crypto coin venture joins a wide array of business lines that TMTG is stuffing into its portfolio. They include a nuclear fusion operation, a sports wagering marketplace, and a cryptocurrency treasury that began with a poorly timed $2 billion bet on Bitcoin, which was promptly cut in half from their $118,000 purchase price to its current price of about $67,000.

The opportunity for corruption has been way too compelling for Trump to resist. Consequently, he has used TMTG to enrich himself by having his Department of Homeland Security buy ads on Truth Social to recruit ICE agents. And in a secret deal he took $500 million from Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan of Abu Dhabi for a 49% stake in Trump’s World Liberty Financial. And after all of that, TMTG is now exploring spinning Truth Social off from the parent corporation in an effort to artificially juice the stock price.

These blatantly unsavory business transactions are just the latest examples of the criminal practices that are part and parcel of Trump’s methods of operation. What follows are some of what he has conspired to do in the recent past…

Trump’s Scammy Media Stock, and Truth Social Parent, Completes a Classic Pump and Dump
The merger of the Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG) with TAE Technologies, a nuclear fusion startup. TAE’s energy products are at present speculative and they have no facilities generating any power resources. Nevertheless, the news caused TMTG’s stock to surge 33%, but two weeks later reversed course back to around $12.80. So anyone who jumped in on the news is already suffering a 25% loss.

Trump Media (Truth Social) Falls to Its Lowest Point Ever – And So Does Donald Trump
Reflecting the animus that Trump inspires in America, his scam business venture, Trump Media and Technology Group, is suffering its worst week since it went public a year and a half ago. It has lost a whopping 80% of its asset value since then.

Trump’s Truth Social AI is Woke AF: Even His Own Social Media App Hates Him
Truth Social’s Artificial Intelligence app is going woke. It is actually telling the truth about Trump and contradicting his flagrant lies on numerous subjects.

The Trump Media and Technology Group (Truth Social) Scam Reflects His Fondness for Fraud
During an interview on CNBC, Trump complained that he has been treated “very badly” by banks that he alleged were discriminating against him. Of course that might be because of the 34 felony convictions he has for defrauding banks. Not to mention a civil lawsuit finding of liability that cost him about half a billion dollars.

Trump Crime Syndicate: Investors Arrested for Insider Trading in Failing Truth Social Scam
Trump’s associates in his truthless, anti-social media venture were arrested and charged with insider trading. Reports indicate that “the three individuals together made more than $22 million in illegal profits.”

Truth Social Disease: Ads on Trump’s Twitter Ripoff are Mostly Scams and Trump-Fluffing Merch
Advertisers are afraid of their ads being juxtaposed with hate speech and other noxious content. Consequently, the only advertisers who are willing to shell out are sketchy scammers, conspiracy theorists, and junk peddlers.

Trump Unleashes a Manic Tirade Attacking Those He Says are America’s Greatest Enemy – Democrats?

Posted by on March 25, 2026 at 1:57 pm. 1 Comments :

Throughout the past 250 years, America’s presidents have made at least cursory efforts to show that they represent everyone in this great and diverse country. It is their constitutional duty to conduct the nation’s business on behalf of every citizen. The president is not elected to be the leader of one political party.

Donald Trump, Newspapers, Baby, Hate

Unfortunately, among the traditions that Donald Trump has abandoned is the one that promotes the unity of service that has always been the province of the occupant of the White House. Service, however, is a principle that is foreign to Trump, a malignant narcissist with authoritarian aspirations. Consequently, in order to elevate himself above the majority of the American people, he fiercely denigrates those who he considers to be his political foes.

SEE THIS: Trump Says He’s Dealing with Terrorists in Iran, But Refuses to Deal with Democrats in America

With a war raging against Iran, and military assaults on peaceful protesters at home by ICE thugs, and the domestic economy burdening Americans with skyrocketing costs for everything from groceries, to gasoline, to housing to healthcare, Trump carved out some of his precious “executive time” – ordinarily reserved for golfing, designing ballrooms, and watching Fox News – to post a flurry of comments on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social.

This particular batch of social bitchcraft was focused on those that he regards as “the greatest enemy America has.” And he isn’t talking about his current adversaries in Iran, or America’s longtime nemeses Russia and China. Or even our European allies that Trump has downgraded to virulently hostile. Nope. It’s America’s own Democratic Party and the millions of people who are members of it. What follows are a few of Trump’s hateful harangues with relevant annotations.

“Blame the Democrats for the Airport’s mess. They want our Country to do badly. They want our Country to fail. They broke the already signed Bill.”
For the record, it is Trump and the Republicans who have repeatedly refused to fund TSA and other Homeland Security agencies by voting against legislation offered by Democrats. And the “already signed bill” to which he is referring is his so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” that isn’t broken at all. It’s just bad policy because the GOP can’t govern competently.

“The Democrats don’t want to make any deal unless Amnesty and Citizenship is given to millions of Criminals who have entered our Country illegally, many of whom have been convicted of serious crimes.”
Actually, it is Trump who has literally refused to deal with Democrats, saying that “I don’t think we should make any deal with the Crazy, Country Destroying, Radical Left Democrats.” And he is making up the preposterous charge that Democrats want amnesty and citizenship for “million of Criminals. Meanwhile, it is Trump himself who has been “convicted of serious crimes” (34 felonies).

“The Radical Left, Country Hating Democrats are trying to create inner chaos to take away from the great military achievement we are having in Iran. They hate seeing us WIN so completely and decisively, but the American public sees what is going on.”
Trump doesn’t need any help from Democrats to “create inner chaos.” That’s his specialty. However, he’s right that “the American public sees what is going on.” Recent polls show that big majorities of the public disapprove of Trump’s war in Iran.

Trump’s vicious animosity toward fellow Americans who happen to disagree with him is an abhorrent diversion from how decent presidents throughout history have behaved. His hatred is directed squarely at patriotic citizens who have the right to their own opinions. And in this case those opinions are shared by most other American citizens. No president who has this much loathing for the people he is supposed to be serving should be tolerated. In the meantime, least we can say that the feeling is mutual…
