Trump FREAKS OUT Over All the Bad News Dragging Him (and America) Down: Iran, Epstein, and More

Posted by on March 5, 2026 at 2:22 pm. 0 Comments :

It has only been a little over one year since Donald Trump reoccupied the White House, and already he is exhibiting dangerously insane behavior that far exceeds anything he unleashed in his first term. He has bombed eight foreign countries, removing the leaders of two of them. He has imposed inflationary tariffs that have raised the cost of living for all Americans. He has sent his StormTrumpers into U.S. cities to terrorize their citizens.

Donald Trump

Never let it be said that Donald Trump doesn’t deal aggressively with the adversity that challenges every leader. In fact, Trump deals with it so aggressively that he risks suffering a massive neurological disorder. In the past this has resulted in hostile hissy fits and flying ketchup bottles. His psychological diagnoses could fill a textbook.

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

In his most recent episodes Trump may be suffering from a mental impairment known as Intermittent Explosive Disorder. So, yes, brains exploding are a real thing. According to the Mayo Clinic…

“Intermittent explosive disorder involves repeated, sudden bouts of impulsive, aggressive, violent behavior or angry verbal outbursts. The reactions are too extreme for the situation. Road rage, domestic abuse, throwing or breaking objects, or other temper tantrums may be symptoms of intermittent explosive disorder.”

Sound familiar? On Thursday morning Trump was especially perturbed. So he took to his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, to disgorge some of his uncontrollably escalating angst. However, he seemed to be unable to drum up anything but old grievances. So he used them to assuage his anxieties. For instance, Trump posted a link to an article that’s a month old bragging that…

Trump Pardoned 5 Former NFL Stars
The NFL players that Trump pardoned were convicted of various crimes ranging from perjury to drug trafficking. Which is more proof of his perverse commitment to law and order, wherein it never applies to the elite, the wealthy, or his political comrades.

Then there was Trump’s post linking another nearly month old article celebrating that a banner with his face on it was draped across the facade of the Justice Department headquarters…

U.S. Justice Department hangs banner of Donald Trump at headquarters
Trump must be so proud that he is explicitly admitting to erasing the independence that has traditionally separated the Justice Department and the White House. The DoJ under Trump acts as his personal legal defense firm.

Then there was Trump’s pride in boosting the use of coal with another aged article link…

Trump Honored on Behalf of Coal Miners as ‘Undisputed Champion of Beautiful, Clean Coal’
This article announced that Trump was given an award by the coal lobby for his efforts advancing black lung disease, accelerating Climate Change, fouling the planet, and making all of it’s inhabitants sicker.

Then there was Trump’s link to an article that was a little more timely. Just a week ago…

Mortgage Rates Fall to Lowest Level Since 2022
Trump is boasting that he brought mortgage rates down from 6.09% to 6.01%. But as of March 5, 30-year fixed mortgage rates for home buying have gone back up to about 6.125% nationally.

Finally, Trump posted a comment urging his MAGA GOP sycophants in Congress to pass a voter suppression bill…

Clearly Trump is obsessed with trying to deflect the American people from all of the harm that he is currently imposing on the nation, and the world. And he is likely worried in particular about the dismal prospects for him the GOP in the upcoming midterm elections. So he is digging back in time for distractions. But even his distractions are examples of his own flagrantly harmful agenda. So he can’t blame anyone else for his problems. Although he will anyway. Just ask Kristi Noem, who he just fired as Secretary of Homeland Security.

If Trump thinks these tactics will make people forget his unsavory relationship with pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, or his war mongering in Iran, or his economic fiascos, or his assaults on peaceful protesters and free speech, or his persecution of journalists and the media, or his narcissistic renaming of everything for himself, or egomaniacal authoritarian aspirations, he is even sicker than we imagined. Which is really saying something.

UPDATE: Trump followed up the posts above on Friday with 13 more posts linking to stories from last month, including 8 (EIGHT!) separate posts complaining about his dinner with Bill Maher. So nah, Trump isn’t scared and triggered to the point of insanity at all, is he?

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

Posted by on February 28, 2026 at 2:03 pm. 1 Comments :

When Donald Trump was running to reoccupy the White House in 2024, he made his promise not to start any new wars a key component of his campaign. He folded it into his otherwise vacant sloganeering to put “America First.” Which, by the way, was a slogan that he stole from early 20th century American fascists.

Donald Trump

Undeterred by his own campaign pledge, Trump has now started a new war with Iran. He launched his war without seeking the consent of Congress, which he is required to do under Article I, Section 8, Clause 11 of the Constitution. You know, that legal thingy that Trump prefers to ignore. He also failed to provide any rational justification for the military action, other than a dubious claim of “imminent threat” for which he offered no factual basis. Not that he ever cared about facts for anything.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Truth Social is Littered with Loathsome Lies – Now Including a Fake JFK Jr

After already deploying airstrikes on Iranian targets, Trump posted a staged video on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, wherein he sought to explain why he broke the law and declared war on Iran. However, his explanation was a far cry from anything that could be described as coherent, or reasonable. Rather, it was an eight minute long rant about Iran being evil and his gloriousness in massacring a lot of innocent Iranians to achieve his tyrannical ends.

It wasn’t until many hours later that he provided what appears to be his real motivation for the warmongering. It came in another Truth Social posting that linked to an article in the far right Internet rag, “Just the News,” with the headline “Iran tried to interfere in 2020, 2024 elections to stop Trump, and now faces renewed war with United States.”

After bombing Iran without any justification or explanation to the American people – or the world – Trump posts this lie as his reason for doing it…

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-02-28T17:31:42.320Z

The actual article never presented a single fact that validated the headline. It was just a tediously long collection of innuendos and allegations by Trump flunkies. However, Trump posting this suggests that the actual reason that he went to war with Iran was because he is holding a grudge over what he believes was Iran’s attempts to harm his presidential prospects.

That would be in keeping with Trump’s still smoldering outrage over the 2020 election that he continues to lie was “rigged and stolen” from him by nefarious Democrats and their comrades in the fake news. Ever since he returned to power he has been persecuting those who he claims were responsible for his humiliating loss. Now he’s adding Iran to the cabal of conspirators who, in his pathological paranoia, he thinks were plotting against him. And of course, he has no evidence to support any of this nonsense.

Accusing Iran of interfering with the 2020 election (and 2024 too) is typical Trump. And it is no stretch to assume that he would take revenge on them if given the opportunity. At the same time, he has persistently excused Russia and his pal Vladimir Putin for actually interfering with those elections with documented proof of it.

Which just goes to show that Trump doesn’t need trivialities like proof, or rationality, or even sanity, to embrace the conspiracy theories that serve his interests. And if his interest is vengeance, then he will find a way to justify it to himself.

Although, there could be an entirely different reason for Trump starting this war with Iran. It could be another deflection on his part from his other scandals. For instance, his dreadful economy that is causing millions of Americans to suffer, and his unsavory relationship with child sex trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein. Is Trump just employing the old “wag the dog” tactic?

CORRECTION: Trump's Department of War spelled "Epstein" wrong.This is the real reason that Trump started a war with Iran. Also, he needed to justify renaming the Department of Defense.

SO MUCH WINNING? Trump’s State of the Union Ratings Ranks Near the Bottom for the Past 25 Years

Posted by on February 26, 2026 at 1:18 pm. 0 Comments :

On Tuesday Donald Trump delivered what many are saying was the most unhinged, hostile, and lie-riddled State of the Union address (SOTU) that he – or anyone – has ever given. It was, therefore, a typical display of his acutely warped persona that is permanently set to eleven on the scale of presidential derangement.

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

Donald Trump Walking the Plank

Trump may have regarded this exercise in self-aggrandizement, infantile insults, and flagrant dishonesty, to be his best opportunity to reverse the downward trending of his presidency. Most polls show him at record lows for approval, and he is surely being eaten up by the fact that he is even trailing his arch nemesis, Joe Biden.

SEE THIS: CUE TRUMP TANTRUM: Multiple Polls Find that Most Americans Favor Biden Over Trump

Now another metric of success that Trump regards as the most important of all is flashing bright red signals of disaster. His television ratings for the speech have come in near the bottom for all SOTU speeches for the past 25 years. According to the Hollywood Reporter…

“Trump’s 107-minute speech (the longest on record) drew about 27.8 million viewers across the seven most watched broadcast and cable outlets: ABC, CBS, CNN, Fox News, the Fox broadcast network, MS Now and NBC. That’s down by about 12 percent from 31.45 million viewers for those same networks for Trump’s address to Congress last year. […] Fox News led the way with 9.1 million viewers.”

The only years where Trump was not dead last were one for Biden in 2021 during COVID, and another for Biden in 2023 when inflation hit its peak at about 8%. Note that inflation at that time was higher worldwide than in the U.S., and that Biden brought it down to about 3% before his term ended. Whereupon his last SOTU rebounded to be higher than Trump again. Here are the numbers…

  • 2026 (Trump): 27.8 million*
  • 2025 (Trump): 31.45 million#
  • 2024 (Biden): 32.2 million
  • 2023 (Biden): 27.3 million
  • 2022 (Biden): 38.2 million*
  • 2021 (Biden): 26.9 million#
  • 2020 (Trump): 37.2 million
  • 2019 (Trump): 46.8 million
  • 2018 (Trump): 45.6 million*
  • 2017 (Trump): 47.7 million#
  • 2016 (Obama): 31.3 million
  • 2015: (Obama): 31.7 million
  • 2014: (Obama): 33.3 million*
  • 2013: (Obama): 33.5 million
  • 2012: (Obama): 37.8 million
  • 2011: (Obama): 42.8 million
  • 2010: (Obama): 48. million*
  • 2009: (Obama): 52.4 million#
  • 2008: (Bush): 37.5 million
  • 2007: (Bush): 45.5 million
  • 2006: (Bush): 41.7 million*
  • 2005: (Bush): 38.4 million
  • 2004: (Bush): 43.4 million
  • 2003: (Bush): 62.1 million
  • # Joint Session of Congress
  • * Ratings for a speech preceding a midterm election like the current one.

Given Trump’s sub-par performance, both with ratings and the substance of his speech, it is highly unlikely that it will have any positive impact on the upcoming midterm elections. Although some negative impact could be felt. And the post-speech surveys bear that out…

If Trump thinks that his lie-riddled, hostile State of the Union speech is going to boost his approval ratings, he is gonna be sorely disappointed. Followed by a massive meltdown and more totalitarian raving.CNN poll: "This was actually his least well-received speech."

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-02-25T18:59:35.150Z

For those of you who missed, or more likely deliberately avoided, the speech, Jimmy Kimmel has helpfully provided a summary version of it that should be all anyone would need. His “State of the Union in 60 Seconds” includes Trump insisting that there has just been “too much winning.” Which is not validated by the polls or ratings. We also see him shouting at the Democrats in the chamber that “These people are crazy.” It’s rather bizarre to see Trump heckling Democrats from the podium, while he whines about being heckled from the audience.

In conclusion, it’s safe to say that Republicans are headed for a massive blowout in November. Although, don’t let that make you work less diligently to topple Trump and his MAGA Republicans. If Democrats and other patriots stay committed, the result will be, in technical terms, that “TRUMP IS TOAST!” And America – and the world – will be all the better for it.

REALLY? Trump Just Posted a 5 Year Old Video of 2020 Election Lies that Got OAN Sued for Millions

Posted by on February 18, 2026 at 12:50 pm. 0 Comments :

How desperate is Donald Trump to deflect from his unsavory relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and the files that he is working so hard to suppress? Desperate enough to post long ago debunked lies that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from him.

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

Donald Trump, Twitter

Early Wednesday morning Trump was busy avoiding any of the actual duties of a legitimate national leader by posting self-serving comments to his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social. It’s a daily ritual of the ridiculous as Trump unloads an endless stream of absurdity, anger, and whining, that he seems to believe make him look strong. Poor baby has a lot on his mind…

SEE THIS: CUE TRUMP TANTRUM: Multiple Polls Find that Most Americans Favor Biden Over Trump

One particular post by Trump vividly displays just how worried he is about the faltering state of his presidency, his historically depressed approval ratings, and the dismal prospects for his crumbling MAGA movement in the upcoming midterm elections. While he has never let go of his obsession with having lost the 2020 election to Joe Biden, Trump posted a comment that reaches a pathetic new low, even for him. The post said in part that…

“In the 2020 election, states using Dominion voting machines allegedly switched 435,000 votes from Trump to Biden and deleted 2.7 MILLION Trump votes. […] The mainstream media, Dominion, ES&S, and many Democrats lied about voting machines.”

Trump just posted this 5 year old OAN video alleging that the 2020 election was stolen.OAN was sued for defamation over these lies. They cost Fox News $787 million.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-02-18T20:29:43.992Z

Trump’s post links to a video from One America News Network (OAN). They were sued by Dominion Voting Systems for their lies that Dominion conspired to rig the election. They are the same lies that Fox News ended up paying a settlement to Dominion for 3/4 of a billion dollars.

OAN has already settled a defamation suit brought by a former Dominion executive in 2023, as well as a defamation suit brought by Smartmatic, another voting-tech company, in April 2024. But it has not reached a settlement with Dominion Voting Systems itself.

Nevertheless, this is what Trump saw fit to present to his cult disciples this morning. It’s essentially the same message that he tweeted five years ago…

Trump is going to be sorely disappointed that this scheme doesn’t distract people from his accountability for his Epstein affiliation. This won’t work any better than his threats to Greenland, his persecution of Democrats in Congress, or his efforts to aggrandize himself by renaming the Kennedy Center. To the contrary, it will only remind people of his corruption and dishonesty. So the best response to him now is simply, “Please proceed, Mr. Trump”

Karl Rove Slams Trump on Fox News for Lying About the Economy and Ignoring How the Public Feel

Posted by on February 2, 2026 at 1:41 pm. 0 Comments :

The flagrant failures of Donald Trump are becoming so unwieldy and impossible to ignore that even the most hard core, right-wing Republicans are beginning to speak out about it. They are starting to recognize that dodging reality is going to have a more severe impact on the GOP’s electoral prospects than failing to suck up to Dear Leader Trump.

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

Donald Trump, Fox News, White House

What’s more, the once MAGA faithful who are tenderly distancing themselves from Trump’s self-serving fantasies are doing it openly on Trump’s official televised Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News. This emerging state of affairs is being driven by Trump’s horrendous agenda that includes deploying ICE thugs to attack American citizens, invading foreign countries, demolishing historic buildings, and even proposing tyrannical schemes to undermine democracy.

SEE THIS: Trump Whines That He Has ‘Accomplished So Much’ That ‘We Shouldn’t Even Have An Election’

On Monday morning the longtime conservative political strategist, Karl Rove, was interviewed on Fox News in a segment about the economy. Host Shannon Bream introduced him by reading an excerpt from an op-ed allegedly written by Trump that was published this weekend in Rupert Murdoch’s Wall Street Journal. The portion that Bream read was a defense of his tariffs that was riddled with more of the lies that Trump has repeatedly told on this subject. When asked for his response, Rove said that…

“That piece in the Wall Street Journal is ‘the economy is great.’ That’s not what people feel. Last year we lost 70,000 manufacturing jobs. We lost 145,000 blue collar jobs…Blue-collar consumer confidence is at a record low since 1976 when they began asking the question.

“The top 20% of the American population is responsible for 75% of the GDP. The bottom 80% is responsible for the remaining 25% of the GDP. The lower income households are bearing a bigger burden of inflation because the things that they have to pay for, like rent and utilities, have risen higher.”

‘Last Year We Lost 70,000 Manufacturing Jobs.’Legendary GOP operative Karl Rove scolded President Donald Trump for continuing to boast about his economic record during an appearance on Fox News.

— Mediaite (@mediaite.com) 2026-02-02T17:35:59.586Z

Rove is right. He is cogently explaining why the economy can appear to look decent by some metrics, but actually only works for the wealthy, but is terrible for most Americans. Furthermore, he is warning Trump and the Republican Party that failing to pay attention to how people are actually experiencing these difficulties is political suicide.

Unfortunately for Rove, he is barking up the wrong tree. Trump doesn’t know or care how people feel. He is dead set on telling them what they “should” feel. And in Trump’s mind they should feel that he is their lord and savior who is infallible and cannot be challenged, lest they be punished. In MAGA World, if Trump tells you that the economy is the best it’s ever been, then you are expected to nod obediently and acquiesce to the dictates of the cult, wherein only the leader will ever tell you the truth.

Trump is focused squarely on gaslighting the nation into believing that they are all as wildly prosperous as he is. And the truth is an irrelevant distraction that is being pushed by radical leftists. Even Trump’s choice of the Wall Street Journal as the vehicle for his propaganda is bizarre. He recently blasted it as “FAKE” news and “third rate,” when they published a verified story about his unsavory relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

“The Wall Street Journal printed a FAKE letter, supposedly to Epstein. These are not my words, not the way I talk. Also, I don’t draw pictures. I told Rupert Murdoch it was a Scam, that he shouldn’t print this Fake Story. But he did, and now I’m going to sue his ass off, and that of his third rate newspaper.”

Someone better be keeping track of all the lawsuits that Trump is filing, or threatening to file. There must be dozens of them aimed at journalists, lawyers, universities, celebrities, and politicians. You have to wonder where he finds the time to screw up the country so badly, and to make so many private deals to enrich himself.

Apparently the part of Trump’s brain that handles grift and corruption isn’t affected by his obviously worsening dementia. Which is getting so bad that he is openly proposing to rig elections by illegally taking them over and nationalizing them, which is prohibited by the Constitution. Not that Trump cares about that old rag.

HOLY CRAP! Trump says out loud to his former FBI flunky, Dan Bongino, that Republicans "should take over the voting."He is literally admitting that he wants to steal the midterm elections because he knows he and the GOP are gonna lose. Nationalizing the election is illegal.

Trump Whines That He Has ‘Accomplished So Much’ That ‘We Shouldn’t Even Have An Election’

Posted by on January 15, 2026 at 12:30 pm. 0 Comments :

The American experiment in democracy is facing some its most dire challenges during the second occupation of the White House by Donald Trump. He has never been an advocate of government “of, by, and for the people,” and he isn’t about to embrace those principles now.

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

King Donald Trump in the Oval Office.

Abraham Lincoln’s hopes expressed in the Gettysburg Address couldn’t be more urgently needed today as the nation is engaged in a virtual Civil War between Trump and, well, pretty much everybody else who isn’t an indoctrinated Trump cultist. And if he has his way, the freedom and liberty that have been cherished goals for patriotic Americans for 250 years will sadly “perish from the Earth.” The madness of Der Trump is literally threatening to rip apart the American Dream.

SEE THIS: Trump Says it’s ‘Treasonous’ to Report His Frail Health, in a Post that Reveals His Frail Mind

In an interview with Reuters on Wednesday, Trump articulated some of his most bizarre and frightening aspirations for the future of this country. In particular, he was asked about the dismal prospects for his MAGA Republican Party in the upcoming midterm elections later this year. As reported by Reuters…

“The president expressed frustration that his Republican Party could lose control of the U.S. House of Representatives or the Senate in this year’s midterm elections…He boasted that he had accomplished so much that ‘when you think of it, we shouldn’t even have an election.'”

Trump is justified in being frustrated by the electoral outlook for the GOP. Most polls show that Democrats are strong favorites to return to the majority in the House, and are well positioned to retake the Senate as well. Trump knows that if that happens, he will be subject to more accountability for his criminal misconduct than he has been with his MAGA flunkies running Congress. Including being impeached for the third time.

So it isn’t especially surprising that an anti-democracy, wannabe dictator like Trump told Reuters that, in his opinion, “we shouldn’t even have an election.” Trump has been angling for an excuse to either cancel elections, or so badly suppress voting, that the elections hardly matter. Most recently Trump floated the idea of invoking the Insurrection Act, which could be used to prevent or delay the election. Exploiting the chaos he’s been deliberately causing in Minneapolis, Trump posted a lie-filled comment on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, saying that…

“If the corrupt politicians of Minnesota don’t obey the law and stop the professional agitators and insurrectionists from attacking the Patriots of I.C.E., who are only trying to do their job, I will institute the INSURRECTION ACT.”

Of course the politicians in Minnesota are not corrupt, they do obey the law, there are no professional agitators, and insurrectionists are not attacking ICE, who are provoking violence and assaulting innocent citizens.

Nevertheless, Trump’s Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, sought to sane-wash Trump’s threat to cancel elections at her press briefing. She was asked about why Trump keeps talking about canceling the election. She replied that “The president was simply joking.” Because the thought of ending democracy in America is just so damn funny.

Q: Why does Trump keep talking about canceling the election?LEAVITT: He's speaking facetiously

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-01-15T18:32:08.929Z

In the same interview with Reuters Trump…

  • Said “I don’t care,” when asked about Senate Republicans expressing disapproval of his investigation into Federal Reserve chair, Jerome Powell.
  • Also said “I don’t care,” when told about “concerns that White House interference in the Fed could harm the economy.”
  • Whined that “Americans’ worries about high prices” were only due to his not doing a good job of “promoting his achievements.”
  • Lied that “Putin is ready to strike a deal” for peace with Ukraine, but that “the hold-up” was Ukrainian President Zelenskyy,
  • And falsely claimed that “his efforts [in Minnesota] had taken ‘thousands of murderers out of our country.”

Presumably, those are some of the examples of Trump’s “achievements” that would justify his canceling the election. Add to them his bombing of boats in the Caribbean; his razing part of the White House to build an elite ballroom; his persecution of political foes by his weaponized “Justice” Department; his sabotaging the Affordable Care Act, causing premiums to skyrocket; his dismantling government agencies that benefit millions of middle and low income citizens; his reversing gains made in mitigating the harm of climate change; and too many other atrocities to list.

So, yeah… Trump definitely wants to cancel the election. Because he knows that he and the GOP will be massacred. And he aint joking.

THANKS DON: If Trump Gets His Way, Democrats Will Win a Big Majority in the Senate This Year

Posted by on January 13, 2026 at 2:21 pm. 0 Comments :

The upcoming midterm elections in November are going to present some compelling opportunities for Democrats. In 2025 they enjoyed some strong victories across the nation in races that were predicted to be close. And in many other races where they fell short, they narrowed the margin significantly.

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

Donald Trump, Republican, GOP

Now most polls are showing that the Democratic Party is favored to win a majority in the House of Representatives. That advantage is the result of a combination of factors. First, Democrats have been taking the lead on the issues that matter most to the American people. And secondly, Republicans are saddled with Donald Trump, a mentally impaired megalomaniac who is only interested in himself.

SEE THIS: Does Trump’s Latest Truth Social Post Constitutionally Disqualify Him From Serving as President?

While Democrats are working hard to lower the cost of housing, healthcare, groceries, and other expenses that folks encounter on a daily basis, Trump and his MAGA comrades are are squarely focused on building ballrooms, invading other countries (Venezuela, Greenland, Iran, Mexico, etc.), imposing inflationary tariffs, suppressing the Epstein files, and cutting government programs that help middle and lower income citizens, in order to enrich Trump and his wealthy benefactors.

That’s a political recipe for GOP disaster. But despite how bad that is as a strategy, Trump is going all in on it. On Tuesday morning Trump was asked about his vindictive and meritless persecution of Federal Reserve Board Chairman Jerome Powell. His response reveals just how devoted he is to – – – electing more Democrats?

Question: Sen. Thom Tillis says that the grand jury subpoena to the Federal Reserve chairman [Jerome Powell] was a little excessive. What do you think?
Trump: Well, that is why Thom is not going to be a Senator any longer, I guess. Right?. But I like Thom Tillis. He’s a nice guy. But he’s not gonna be a senator any longer because of views like that.

Q: “Sen. Thom Tillis says that the grand jury subpoena to the Federal Reserve chairman was a little excessive. What do you think?”Trump: “That is why Thom is not going to be a Senator any longer.”

— The Bulwark (@thebulwark.com) 2026-01-13T19:08:30.357Z

Trump’s reaction to news that a Republicans senator considers the probe by Trump’s “Justice” Department to be only “a little excessive,” is to celebrate the end of that senator’s political career. Which Democrats will surely appreciate. Tillis represents the purple state of North Carolina that currently has a popular Democratic governor, Josh Stein. Tillis isn’t running for reelection this year, but former Democratic governor Roy Cooper is running for that seat, and holds a substantial lead over his likely GOP opponent.

Trump went on to demonstrate his ignorance of economics by stating that…

“We have a bad Fed chairman. He’s bad in a lot of different ways. But he’s bad because his interest rates are too high. And today we had a great inflation report. And today we had a really great growth report. So we have great growth and low inflation. And we’re doing very well.”

First of all, the Fed chair is just one vote on the Board, so he alone does not determine the interest rates. And true to form, Trump is lying about how great recent economic reports are. However, more to the point, Trump’s analysis that a strong economy warrants lowering of interests is the exact opposite of proper fiscal policy. Interest rates are generally only lowered to juice an economy that is troubled. Doing so with a strong economy is more likely to trigger inflation.

As for Trump’s political analysis, his embrace of losing this incumbent Republican senator is just the start of his strategic foolishness. He also came out against five other GOP senators who had the audacity to vote against his aspirations for unilateral tyranny over American war powers. He commented on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, that…

“Republicans should be ashamed of the Senators that just voted with Democrats in attempting to take away our Powers to fight and defend the United States of America. Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Rand Paul, Josh Hawley, and Todd Young should never be elected to office again.”

Trump’s opinion that these Republicans “should never be elected to office again” will be welcomed by Democrats, who only need to net four seats in order to become the majority. Flipping these five seats, along with Tillis, would do that with a two seat cushion. So once again, the more that Trump talks, the better things get for Democrats.

More Republicans are starting to defy Trump. Several recently did so to pass bills to extend the Obamacare subsidies, and to reign in his military aggressions. We are reaching a tipping point where the GOP are becoming more afraid of voters than they are of Trump. And the result of that will be that he lashes out more at members of his own party out of pure spite. And Democrats will be the beneficiaries.

MAGA Mike Johnson Just Gave the Best Reason For All Americans to Vote for Democrats Next Year

Posted by on December 21, 2025 at 1:30 pm. 4 Comments :

This weekend the MAGA cult is gathering in Phoenix, Arizona, for their annual “AmericaFest” rally, an event launched by the late Charlie Kirk’s white nationalist “Turning Point USA” organization. The roster of guests is who’s-snooze of ultra-conservative disciples of Donald Trump and the newly canonized Kirk.

Donald Trump, Impeach

Among the featured speakers is the Republican Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mike Johnson. He is conveniently available because he has once again shut down the House in order to avoid having to take votes on embarrassing issues such as the extension of the health insurance premium subsidies in the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare). The last time Johnson shut down the House was to prevent the swearing in of Democratic Rep. Adelita Grijalva, and having to vote on releasing the Epstein files.

During Johnson’s speech for the AmericaInfest crowd he made a point of raising an alarm about the potentially disastrous prospects for the GOP in the upcoming midterm elections. Johnson and others in the Republican Party are terrified of being blown out in a massive “Blue Wave” election that would return majorities in the House and Senate to the Democrats. Most polls provide ample justification for those fears. So Johnson warned the MAGA-tists of the troubles they face, saying that…

“Everything that is said here – everything is on the line in the midterms of 2026. And we have much more to do. If we lose the House majority, the radical left, as you’ve already heard, is gonna impeach President Trump. They’re gonna create absolute chaos. We cannot let that happen.

GOP House Speaker, MAGA Mike Johnson, just gave a great reason to vote for Democrats across the board in the midterm elections next year. Thanks MJ! #ImpeachTrump

And there you have it. Johnson has just provided what is perhaps the best reason for the American people to vote in unprecedented numbers for Democrats up and down the ballot next year. Trump is already a convicted felon. He has been found civilly liable for sexual harassment and abuse. His companies have been ordered to pay multimillion dollar judgments for having committed fraud. And that’s just looking at the recent past.

Currently Trump is using his office to enrich himself and his wealthy friends. He is committing war crimes in the Caribbean. He is embracing our enemies and abandoning our allies (i.e. Ukraine, NATO, the EU). He is deporting law abiding migrants to foreign gulags. And his domestic economic policies are creating financial hardships for millions of Americans.

All of the above – and there is plenty more – is more than enough reason to impeach Trump. And the American people appear to be ready to take that step. Trump’s polling is dreadful. Even the latest Fox News poll has him floundering in deeply negative territory.

What’s more, Trump is seen by most voters as being oblivious to their concerns. A quick look at the issues that the voters care most about shows how thoroughly out of touch he is with what the people want.

THANKS FOX NEWS!Check out the top 3 issues that the American people want Trump to focus on. He's ignoring all of them, or making them worse.But he's laser focused on the other 5 issues. Which he is also making worse.

Instead of paying attention to the interests of the people, Trump is demolishing parts of the White House to build a golden ballroom. He is attaching his name to a memorial for John F. Kennedy. He is directing his “Justice” Department to persecute his political foes. He is imposing inflationary tariffs (aka taxes) on American businesses and consumers. And he still finds time to play golf, attend sporting events, watch TV, and rage-post.

Those may not be impeachable offenses, but they contribute to the sentiment that is spreading like wildfire. Except, of course, among the MAGA cult. Although Don Jr had something to contribute during his speech at AmericaInfest that might have a different meaning for most Americans than he intended. He bragged that “This isn’t the Republican Party anymore. It’s the America First Party. It’s the MAGA Party.” In other words… IT’S A CULT!

Trump is OUTRAGED that a Democrat is Running as a Democrat After Trying to Buy Him With a Pardon

Posted by on December 7, 2025 at 1:28 pm. 0 Comments :

It has long been observed that the most – or only – criteria for securing support from Donald Trump was demonstrating an unflinching and unyielding loyalty to Trump no matter how reprehensible his words and deeds. Glassy-eyed praise for Trump earns his affection. But even the mildest criticism triggers his wrath.

Donald Trump Angry

The degree of Trump’s egomaniacal dependence on fawning devotion has been evident in the Dear Leader Flagellation Forums …er… Cabinet meetings that he arranges where his subordinate sycophants take turns exalting His MAGA-sty in the most humiliating manner imaginable.

SEE THIS: Trump Gathers His Cabinet Members to Conduct Another Festival of Feckless Trump-Fluffing

On Sunday morning Trump put his desperate need for approval on display again with a comment posted to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. this particular comment was a tedious 391 word rant complaining that Democratic representative Henry Cuellar of Texas didn’t switch parties and become a Trump suck-up after having received a pardon from him. Trump’s tirade is too lengthy and deranged to bother reposting in it entirety, so what follows are are few choice excerpts with annotations. Trump began by whining (of course)…

“Can you imagine??? The Democrats, under the Crooked Joe Biden Administration, who always use extreme force and jail-time to destroy their political opponent, wanted to put Congressman Henry Cuellar, and his wife, Imelda, in PRISON, for 15 years […] They were looking to destroy him, his lovely wife, his two young daughters. […] The Dems were vicious, and all because Henry strongly wanted, correctly, BORDER SECURITY!”

Can you imagine??? If not it’s only because none of what Trump is saying is remotely aligned with reality. At least 14 other Democrats, mostly in swing districts like Cuellar, have taken the same positions as Cuellar on the border. But the Party was not “looking to destroy” any of them, and none of them were indicted or otherwise subject to “extreme force and jail time.” Trump went on to explain his reasons for granting Cuellar a pardon…

“[H]is daughters wrote me a beautiful letter about their parents […] After reading it I decided, in the interest of justice, and based on the daughter’s loving request, that I would give Henry and Imelda a Full and Complete Pardon. I never spoke to the Congressman, his wife, or his daughters, but felt very good about fighting for a family that was tormented by very sick and deranged people […] God was very happy with me that day!”

So Trump is admitting that he didn’t do any due diligence to ascertain whether there was good reason to indict Cuellar, or whether he was guilty. The only thing that Trump based his pardon on was the emotional outpourings of Cuellar’s daughters, who might not have been especially neutral in their opinions. And for his negligence and pitifully easy manipulation he believes that he earned the approval of his “god” – aka himself.

For the record, Cuellar and his wife, Imelda, were charged with accepting nearly $600,000 in bribes from an Azerbaijani oil company and a Mexican bank, and laundering the money through shell companies. Then he allegedly used his influence to benefit these companies. Two of his political consultants pleaded guilty to the charges. Trump doesn’t appear to have taken any of that into consideration. He just raged further about what was truly bothering him…

“THEN IT HAPPENED!!! Only a short time after signing the Pardon, Congressman Henry Cuellar announced that he will be ‘running’ for Congress again…as a Democrat…Such a lack of LOYALTY…next time, no more Mr. Nice guy!”

And there you have it. Perceived loyalty is once again Trump’s only concern. He thinks that because he gave Cuellar a pardon, that Cuellar owes him his political devotion. It’s another transactional affair wherein Trump thinks that he’s buying loyalty, and that Cuellar stiffed him. And by the way, when has Trump ever been a “nice guy”?

The reality that Trump is ignorant of is that Cuellar, although he is a moderate/conservative Democrat, votes pretty consistently with his Party. In the 2021-2023 session of Congress, he voted with his fellow Democrats about 97% of the time. In 2024 that dipped to 71% – still a solid majority – likely because it was an election year and he represents a Republican leaning (R+2) district. His district is expected to get even redder after the recent racist and partisan gerrymandering by the Texas state legislature at Trump’s behest.

Cuellar was asked about Trump’s insane online outburst by Maria Bartiromo of Fox News, and the prospect of his switching parties. Cuellar affirmed that he’s a Democrat and that “I don’t vote party. I vote for what’s right for the country.” Which is a rational philosophy that neither Trump nor the GOP has ever been able to comprehend.

BARTIROMO: Have you considered switching parties?CUELLAR: Look, I'm a DemocratBARTIROMO: Okay, but Trump is out with a new Truth Social saying saying, "next time, no more Mr Nice Guy"CUELLAR: I was at church this morning praying for the president

TRUMP IS TOAST! Even In a Fox News Poll Most Say Trump’s Economic Policies Have Hurt Them

Posted by on November 21, 2025 at 12:13 pm. 1 Comments :

Earlier this month, Trump suffered a resounding electoral defeat as voters in multiple states rejected his candidates and his policies. And with his pathetic failure to address the number one issue in the minds of voters – the economy – his future looks decidedly bleak. And he knows it.

Donald Trump, Wah

Trump’s fear of sinking to ever deeper depths in public opinion is having a profound impact on his already fragile emotional state. It could be at least partly responsible for what may be his most nauseating outburst wherein he called for the execution of several Democratic members of Congress just because they reminded soldiers of their duty to disobey illegal orders.

SEE THIS: Trump Accuses Democratic Members of Congress With ‘Seditious Behavior, Punishable by Death’

So Trump is going to go into an apoplectic shock when he hears about the latest poll by his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News. Quite often when a Fox News poll has bad news for Trump, the network buries it. And they did on this occasion as well, at least so far as their most watched primetime programs are concerned. However, Fox’s primary “news” anchor, Bret Baier, had the audacity to air part of the poll’s results during his Thursday program. He reported that…

“The issue of affordability, the issue of how people feel about the economy, is popping up in our latest poll. In personal financial situation – “excellent/good” 40%, only “fair or poor” 60%. The condition of the U.S. economy, also a perception totally upside down. 76-25%. And then economic conditions for the nation and you personally, again 25% positive, 76 negative for the nation, and 60-40 % (negative) personally.”

Reality check. Fox News presents Trump’s dismal poll numbers from their own poll to Fox’s MAGA audience.

— Mike Sington (@mikesington.bsky.social) 2025-11-20T13:58:24.354Z

It’s difficult to imagine things being much worse for Trump. Fortunately, no imagination is necessary if you read the article about the poll on Fox’s website. It went into more detail than Baier was comfortable revealing on the air. For instance, among all voters, only 41% approve of the job Trump is doing, while 58% disapprove. That’s a five-point drop since September.

What’s more, a new low of 38% approves of his handling of the economy. While large numbers overall – and even among Republicans – say their costs for groceries, utilities, healthcare and housing have gone up this year. About twice as many say Trump, rather than Biden, is responsible for the current economy. That includes a surprising 42% of Republicans. And voters say by a 31-point margin that Trump’s economic policies have hurt rather than helped them.

Trump has yet to comment on these abysmal numbers. But in the past, Trump has made his displeasure with Fox News known when they published poll results like these. This summer Trump lashed out at Fox News for reporting survey results that proved to be pretty accurate. Trump raged on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, that…

“The Crooked FoxNews Polls got the Election WRONG, I won by much more than they said I would, and have been biased against me for years. They are always wrong and negative. It’s why MAGA HATES FoxNews, even though their anchors are GREAT.”

That’s right! “MAGA HATES FoxNews.” Which is why Trump’s glassy-eyed cult disciples watch almost nothing else. And among the reasons that Trump thinks the Fox “anchors are great,” aside from their constant kissing of Trump’s…let’s say ring, is that they don’t embarrass him by reporting his awful poll numbers, even by their own network. Although the polling from other sources isn’t any better for Trump. Just wait until he hears about this…

FLYING KETCHUP BOTTLE ALERT!!!Trump's BEST poll has him down by 14 points. But it's all downhill (26 points down) from there.

UPDATE: Trump had something to say about his poll numbers. And to no one’s surprise, it was totally bonkers…

OKAY… Now can we all agree that Trump is NUTZ?Now can we remove Trump from office? 8647!#25thAmendment
