Did Trump Write His WHCA Speech? That Would Explain Why It Was So Awful! Even He Thought So

Posted by on July 25, 2026 at 3:18 pm. 1 Comments :

On Friday night the rescheduled White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) dinner took place in Washington, DC. It was a scaled down affair that was only held to prove that a violent protestor couldn’t shape the course of political discourse in America.

Donald Trump, Mocking Disability

Much of the event was dedicated to its primary purpose, which is to raise money for charity and to give awards for excellence in journalism and advocacy of free speech and the Constitution’s Fist Amendment. It served those purposes admirably. Then, unfortunately, it went on to feature an address by Donald Trump, who despises the Constitution and especially the First Amendment. He proceeded to make a fool of himself, and by extension, America, for which he has a renowned talent. Particularly with regard to the media.

Trump spoke at length about his vanity ballroom. He bragged about supposedly coining the term “Dumocrat.” And naturally, he exalted himself as the only important person in the room, or the country, saying that “When I’m not around, you’re gonna be broke. There’s not gonna be anybody to report on. Nobody gives a damn about anybody else.” That’s why there is a picture of Trump in the dictionary under “Malignant Narcissism (see psychopath).”

The WHCA Dinner is known for featuring humorous speakers, including the president. But Trump was struggling from start. After getting no laughs for a line about a Senator’s wife who told him “‘I want to have you immediately come up the stairs and make love to me.’ And he said, ‘I can’t do both,'” Trump complained “That was actually the only thing I thought was good in this whole frickin’ stupid speech that they wrote.”

Shortly thereafter he asked “Does anybody understand this stuff?” At another point Trump set up an insult/joke about Illinois Governor JB Pritzker (who he called the governor of Chicago) and Rep. Jerry Nadler, saying that they were “fighting for a big fat piece of cheesecake.” When no one laughed at that he asked “Who the hell wrote that line?”

By every indication, it seems that Trump wrote that line, and most of the rest of the speech that even he thought was bombing. It was comprised of rehashed insults that Trump has been disgorging for years. And the targets of his trash-talk were the same people he has been repeatedly maligning at his MAGA rallies to the thrills of his cult disciples. There was little if anything new. What follows are some of the retreads he laid out Friday night for the journalists who have heard it all at least 100 times.

“Before I came along, if you wanted to see someone lose consciousness on the South Lawn of the White House, all you had to do is ask Joe Biden a question.”

“I can exclusively reveal to you this evening that for the heaviest of the heavyweights, we will have sloppy Chris Christie.”

“We had a contest for who had the lowest ratings and the lowest IQ on television. And that was actually Don Lemon.”

“What about Bruce Springsteen? What the hell happened to that guy? He looks like hell…I don’t look so bad…The tour has been renamed Bored in the USA.

“This year the association decided not to have a comedian, so they considered using Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon. These guys, they’re terrible. They’re terrible. Stephen Colbert. These are people without talent…They’re not funny people. They’re angry people. They’re sick people.”

“They thought about going with a professional clown for entertainment, but Adam Shifty Schiff was not available…He’s a liar. And I called him Watermelon Head.”

“Then I’m told that even Rosie O’Donnell reached out from Ireland…she’s one of the greatest sufferers of Trump derangements.”

“I want to personally congratulate CNN’s Kaitlyn Collins on receiving her award. It was all about me. It’s a fake. She shouldn’t get the award. It was a fake…But she’s a young, attractive woman. She never smiles…I informed her that it wasn’t her on the Bud Light can. It was Dylan Mulvaney.”

“I’m very disappointed they didn’t bring Fake Tapper.”

“I was disappointed that Gavin Newsom didn’t show up…He’s incapable of reading a speech. He’s a low-IQ person.”

“Ilhan Omar, one of my favorites, and her brother are thinking about moving together…she’s a low IQ person, and she’s also a very dishonest person, and she ought to get the hell out of our country.”

“We invited Elizabeth Pocahontas, Warren. She’s referred to Pocahontas.”

“I wanted to make sure that Jack Smith, deranged Jack Smith…this guy was a deranged lunatic.”

“Chuck Schumer, cryin’ Chuck…he’s a proud, very proud Palestinian.”

“In Texas the Democrats are running a candidate named James Talefreako [Talarico], who hates guns, hates oil, hates sex, hates women, and who said he is a Christian who hates Christianity.”

And remember, those are supposed to be jokes. Trump was scheduled to speak for 40 minutes, but true to form, he went on tediously for more than an hour. Aside from the above attempts at “humor,” Trump’s speech was jampacked with incoherent rambling and nonsensical lies. In other words, it was exactly like every other speech Trump has given in the past ten years. And even he thought it sucked.

Herr Trump Threatens to Muzzle the Free Press in His Unhinged Infomercial for Voter Suppression

Posted by on July 17, 2026 at 11:39 am. 0 Comments :

The most media adverse president in American history, Donald Trump, lived down to his reputation for despising the free press – and the Constitution that protects it – in an entirely predictable half hour harangue on Thursday night. As if on automatic, Trump praised himself, disparaged his foes, and lied repeatedly.

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

Trump’s hopes for capturing the attention of America were dashed by most news networks recognizing the total absence of newsworthiness, and the political nature of his tirade. So NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, and MS NOW chose not to air Trump’s speech live, but offered it on their streaming platforms. The Fox broadcast channel and Fox News on cable were the only national networks that aired the speech in full live. Which must have been a huge disappointment for the Trump regime who expected more just because…

SEE THIS: Karoline Leavitt: Everyone Should Watch Trump’s Speech Because Nobody Knows What He’ll Say

The media acting responsibly Thursday night is precisely why Trump hates them so virulently. And it perturbed him so much that he even addressed it in the speech…

“In a rare move, NBC and ABC fake news have both said that they would not cover this speech – they knew what it was about – because of the fact that they don’t like the topic, because they know how corrupt our system is and they don’t want to reveal it. They and others in the media are part of a plot. They want to continue this fraud for whatever reason. They want to keep it going. They want to protect the radical left.

“They can’t have a great country, and that’s true. You can’t have a great country without free and fair elections. Fraud like this should mean a revocation of their licenses. They use our public, multibillion dollar in value airways for absolutely no money. They pay nothing.”

Trump: "NBC and ABC fake news both said that they would not cover this speech…because of the fact they do not like the topic because they know how corrupt our system is… They and others in the media are part of a plot…Fraud like this should mean a revocation of their licenses."

First of all, while it is relatively rare to decline a presidential request for airtime, it is not unprecedented. Presidents Obama and Biden also had time requests refused. But that didn’t cause them to whine petulantly that it was a plot against them, or that the media wanted to protect a corrupt system. Nor did it result in hostile threats to revoke the broadcast licenses of the networks that failed to obey Dear Leader.

It’s interesting that in his speech Trump only criticized and threatened ABC and NBC specifically. CBS, which is now owned by Trump-friendly billionaires David and Larry Ellison, didn’t air the whole speech either, but for some reason their license wasn’t threatened. And by the way, national broadcast networks don’t actually have federal licenses to revoke. So once again, Trump doesn’t have the slightest idea what he’s talking about.

[UPDATE: Trump’s threat that “Fraud like this should mean a revocation of their licenses,” is being carried out by his FCC boss, Brendan Carr, who now says he he is considering penalties for ABC because they didn’t carry his Voter Suppression infomercial live]

The rambling and self-serving dishonesty of the rest of Trump’s speech (here on YouTube, for those with strong stomachs) justified the networks’ decisions to pass on it. It took Trump five minutes to stumble through lies about his alleged “accomplishments” before he got to the promised topic of the speech: election integrity. Then he devoted the next 20 minutes lying about having released documents that supposedly prove his election conspiracy theories. They don’t.

Most of those documents, that he described as “brand new and irrefutable” are neither. And they don’t contain any verifiable information not previously known. He even accused his own staffers of withholding intelligence data from him in his intel briefings about China’s alleged efforts to disrupt U.S. elections.

Arguably the worst thing that Trump claims to have “discovered” is a couple hundred thousand voter registrations, out of hundreds of millions, by non-citizens. But he didn’t identify a single incident of any non-citizen who actually voted. And even those registration numbers are wildly inflated by immigrants who properly registered after becoming citizens, but whose records weren’t up to date in the federal study that Trump cited.

In the last three minutes of the speech Trump finally got around to what is his real objective, which is to undermine confidence in U.S. elections and to pass his so-called “Save America Act” (aka Voter Suppression Act). He made an impotent demand that it be passed by the GOP-controlled Senate, that doesn’t have the votes even among their own party. Trump insisted that the bill is imperative to prevent cheating by Democrats. But he also said that the Democrats’ “policies are so bad” and that their “candidates are so pathetic,” that it makes you wonder why he and the Republicans can’t just beat them at the ballot box.

Trump closed by asking viewers to call their senators to demand that they vote for the Voter Suppression bill. Which affirms that the sole purpose of this speech was to serve as a long, meandering, lie-riddled, infomercial for Trump to convince Americans that our elections are irredeemably corrupt, so that he can corrupt future elections. And on Friday morning he posted a comment on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, that sums up his deceitfulness, saying…

“Great reviews on speech last night. Big audience. Pass THE SAVE AMERICA ACT!!!”

For the record, the reviews by non-MAGA media were uniformly terrible. Even many reviews by MAGA-tists were decidedly negative due to his focus on phony election issues, rather than what matters most to the American people, such as the high costs of living, and the war in Iran.

As for his claim of having a “big audience,” well that’s just another lie. He couldn’t possibly know since the ratings will not be released for a couple of days. And the expectations are for low numbers considering all the networks that ignored it. But Trump’s fantasies will always take precedence over reality. And his small and shrinking cult will obediently concur.

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

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

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

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

Donald Trump, Constitution

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Posted by on May 16, 2026 at 2:06 pm. 0 Comments :

The legacy of Donald Trump is overflowing with “accomplishments” that for any other president, at any other time, would be unambiguously regarded as criminal, corrupt, seditious, perverted, and even in a best case scenario, humiliating.

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

Donald Trump and Eric Trump

No other president has had the dishonor to have been convicted of 34 felony counts of fraud, adjudicated as a rapist, enriched himself by exploiting his power, slandered the free press as “enemies of the people,” impeached for extorting a foreign country for political dirt, and impeached again for inciting a violent insurrection.

Through it all, Trump has demonstrated that he has the backbone of a jellyfish, bawling like a baby at every opportunity that he is a victim, and hurling threats at his perceived persecutors, who are often fierce opponents from the savage and wicked world of…comedy?

SEE THIS: Toddler Trump Throws Tantrum, Threatens to Sue ABC for Restoring Jimmy Kimmel and Free Speech

A recurring tactic in Trump’s strategy of relentless whining is his penchant for pursuing lawsuits as a remedy for the offences his paranoia manufactures. He is indisputably the most litigious president in history. He has sued everyone from the constitutionally protected free press, to universities, to law firms, to individuals who dared to disagree with him.

Now Trump’s spawn, Eric Trump, is demonstrating that judicial harassment is an inherited trait in the Trump family. Little Eric was apparently offended by a story reported by Jen Psaki of MS NOW. So he announced on X/Twitter that he will be filing a lawsuit to seek compensation (retribution) for his devastating injury. He wrote that…

“I intend to sue @jrpsaki and @MSNOWNews over the below clip. To be clear:

“Contrary to her monolog and blatant lies, I have NEVER been on the board of ALT5 — not now, not ever. Any person with basic access to Google and willing to open a company’s annual report or proxy statements would know this.”

Eric’s threat is another attempt by the Trump Klan to intimidate the free press in order to muzzle any legitimate criticism of the MAGA-sterial monarchy. And his denials are typically slathered in Trumpian bullshit. The truth wasn’t hard to discover…

Eric was indeed invited to join the Alt5 board of directors. That fact is still on the Alt5 website. Although, it was later determined that his presence on the board would conflict with some unspecified NASDAQ rule, so they relegated him to the status of an “observer” who could still attend board meetings, but without voting privileges.

However, these facts are enough to show that Psaki and MS NSW cannot be held liable for any claims of defamation. Not only was there no showing of “actual malice,” a requirement for a defamation lawsuit, but what she reported were facts. Also, she wasn’t making any direct commentaries of her own. She was reporting what had already been published by The Financial Times. All of this is evident in the video that Eric himself posted.

Look for this lawsuit to be thrown out in short order, if Eric doesn’t drop it first. Eric has no case, and if he doesn’t realize that, his lawyers surely do. Proceeding will only put him at risk of having to turn over embarrassing discovery that could expose him to criminal charges.

Furthermore, he is unlikely to wrangle a nuisance settlement from these defendants the way his father did with ABC and CBS. Jen Psaki and MS NOW are not seeking favors from the Trump administration that they would trade for cash. So the Trumps will have to look elsewhere for their corruption schemes.

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

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

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

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

Trump Fear

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

MORE HERE: Trump’s FBI Boss, Kash Patel, Goes After the Reporter Who Exposed Him as an Incompetent Lush

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

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

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

ABC Accuses Trump’s Fascist Communications Commission (FCC) of Violating the First Amendment

Posted by on May 8, 2026 at 2:23 pm. 2 Comments :

The ongoing crusade by Donald Trump to erase all remnants of the Constitution, and particularly it’s First Amendment protections of freedom of the press, is perhaps the most prominent and dangerous feature of his MAGA cult movement. His authoritarian aspirations, and fear of the tenets of democracy, are the driving factors in his relentless pursuit of power.

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

Donald Trump, Constitution

To that end, Trump has been directing his Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to adopt profoundly disturbing new rules regarding “Equal Time” as a means to quash any criticism he receives on television from talk show hosts and their guests. His unambiguous aim is to assume total control over what the American people are permitted to see and hear on TV and other media.

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

The latest skirmish in Trump’s War on America comes from an unlikely combatant. ABC News, the producer of “The View” has announced that it is challenging the attempts by Trump’s FCC to dictate what they are allowed to say and who they are allowed to interview. This comes after Trump’s FCC Chairman, Brendan Carr, threatened the show and the network with revoking the licenses of their affiliate stations. According to the New York Times…

“ABC has accused the Federal Communications Commission of violating its free speech rights, potentially setting the stage for a protracted, high-stakes legal battle between the network and the Trump administration.

“The company said in a filing with the agency that regulators had a ‘chilling effect’ on free speech by trying to punish political content they disagreed with. The filing, made public on Friday, is the most aggressive defense from any television network since President Trump kicked off an extended campaign last year to bring media organizations to heel.”

What makes ABC’s stance surprising is that they previously capitulated to Trump when he filed a meritless defamation lawless in December 2024. ABC agreed to settle for what amounts to a $15 million bribe in order to kiss up to the Tyrant-in-Chief.

The Equal Time rules have been in place for decades. And throughout that time there have been exceptions for bona fide newsworthy interviews. But Trump’s notoriously fragile ego has pushed him to take vengeance on his critics and to stifle them any way that he can. The intentions of Trump and his neo-fascist FCC are to smother his critics entirely. It is not by coincidence that the Trump regime isn’t going after any right-wing programs or other MAGA media.

Furthermore, their timing is conspicuously close to the midterm elections that Trump is terrified of losing. Those predicted losses will significantly diminish his power and make him vulnerable to real congressional oversight. And Trump will do anything to avoid being held accountable for his multitude of crimes. Including muzzling the free press in an egregious breach of the Constitution.

WHAT 1ST AMENDMENT? Melania and Donald Trump Demand that Jimmy Kimmel Be Taken Off the Air

Posted by on April 27, 2026 at 1:21 pm. 1 Comments :

In the wake of the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner Saturday night, Donald Trump has been parading around the media making the case that he’s a brave hero who survived an attempt by Democrats to terminate his presidency. It’s just more of the myth making bullpucky that Trump is so well known for disseminating.

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

Donald Trump Baby and Melania Trump

Consistent with Trump’s enduring fixation on demonizing his political opponents and the free press, Trump’s insignificant other, Melania, made a rare public statement that advances his determination to muzzle the media, particularly when it engages in accurate and honest criticism of him. On this occasion, Melania sought to respond to a joke made by Jimmy Kimmel last week.

SEE THIS: Jimmy Kimmel Hosts the ALTERNATIVE White House Correspondents’ Dinner Featuring Snowflake Trump

Outraged by Kimmel’s audacity to deliver a comedy monologue, Melania posted a comment on X/Twitter to express her dismay over a single line that referred to her and her charade of a marriage to Donald, the serial adulterer. What Kimmel said was that she had a “glow like an expectant widow.” In her hyperbolic overreaction Melania raged that…

Kimmel’s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn’t comedy- his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America.

“People like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate. A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him.

“Enough is enough. It is time for ABC to take a stand. How many times will ABC’s leadership enable Kimmel’s atrocious behavior at the expense of our community.

Melania has some massive testicular fortitude to complain about Kimmel’s allegedly “hateful and violent rhetoric”? Has she ever met her hateful HINO (Husband In Name Only)? And yet she brazenly calls for what amounts to the abolishment of the Constitution’s First Amendment, saying that “Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening.” She then demands that ABC “take a stand [against] Kimmel’s atrocious behavior.”

This is just another attempt by the Trump regime to ban Kimmel from broadcasting, which they tried and failed to do last year. Disappointed by his failure, Trump whined that “I can’t believe ABC Fake News gave Jimmy Kimmel his job back. The White House was told by ABC that his Show was cancelled!”

Following Melania’s tweet, Trump chimed in with one of his own. It was a tediously long and incoherent comment that affirmed Melania’s anti-free press sentiments babbling about “Kimmel’s despicable call to violence,” and demanding that “Jimmy Kimmel should be immediately fired by Disney and ABC.”

Of course, nothing in Kimmel’s jokes advocated anything approaching violence. Melania’s widow glow could be the result of Trump’s advanced age, poor health, and fast food diet. To the contrary, it is Trump who has been relentlessly “corrosive” and “despicable” and that promoted “political sickness.” In a 60 Minutes special segment Sunday night, Trump told Norah O’Donnell that “I do think the hate speech of the Democrats is very dangerous, much more so.” That was right after he called O’Donnell “a horrible person” and a “disgrace.” Never mind that a report by his own Justice Department found that it is right-wingers who have been responsible for most political violence.

MORE HERE: Trump’s Justice Dept Disappears Study that Proves Most Violence is Caused By Far Right Radicals

Trump’s DoJ later tried (but failed) to disappear that report. In the meantime, Trump has literally called for the death of sitting members of Congress. He celebrated the death of lifelong public servant and decorated veteran, Robert Mueller. And he has maligned Democrats and the press as “treasonous,” “lunatics,” “vermin,” and “the enemy of the people.” So any complaints that he – or Melania – have now about divisive rhetoric are – to put it in technical terms – BULLSHIT!

Trump-Fluffing Media Mogul is Hosting a ‘Tribute’ Dinner for Anti-Media, Wannabe Dictator Trump

Posted by on April 23, 2026 at 1:01 pm. 0 Comments :

The seething animosity that Donald Trump fosters for the free press has been a defining characteristic of his warped, anti-democratic persona for as long as he has been in public life. He even published an anti-media page on the White House website. Ironically, he has also had an enduring dependency on the very same press for the constant attention he craves and that fuels his massive yet fragile ego.

In a shameless attempt to kiss the…let’s say ring…of Herr Trump, billionaire media mogul and CEO of the Paramount Skydance conglomerate (which owns CBS), David Ellison, will be hosting a dinner Friday night to pay tribute to Trump for rolling over so compliantly and approving Ellison’s bid to takeover Warner Bros. Discovery (which owns CNN). Ellison has previously “paid” tribute to Trump in the form of millions of dollars in bribes to grease the wheels of his merger bid.

Now, on the eve of the White House Correspondents’ Association’s annual gala, Ellison is fluffing Trump and his ego once again. As reported by Variety…

“David Ellison, whose Paramount Skydance is awaiting closure of its massive deal to swallow up Warner Bros. Discovery, will host an invitation-only dinner next week ‘honoring’ President Donald Trump and CBS News’ White House correspondents, Variety has confirmed.

The event will take place in Washington, D.C., on April 23, two days before the annual White House Correspondents’ Association dinner on Saturday, April 25. The Ellison-hosted function will be held at the United States Institute of Peace in Washington, which the State Department in December 2025 announced was being renamed ‘The Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace.'”

The optics of this tribute dinner couldn’t be more disturbing. Ellison is brazenly exhibiting his bias for Trump and his MAGA cult movement. That bias has already been evident in the reporting by CBS, where its 60 Minutes program interfered with segments that were critical of Trump. What’s more, CBS has invited Trump’s Secretary of War Crimes, Pete Hegseth, and Senior Neo-Fascist, Stephen Miller, to be their guests at the WHCA’s dinner on Saturday.

How can anyone take seriously any dedication to honest, unbiased reporting by an organization displaying this much blatant political favoritism? It is also notable that while Ellison has plenty of time to suck up to Trump with patronizing dinners, he was unable to make time to appear before a congressional hearing probing Paramount’s efforts to acquire Warner Bros Discovery, that has numerous potential anti-trust violations.

Meanwhile, Ellison’s aspirations for autocratic media dominance are not a done deal. California Attorney General Rob Bonta will be conducting a “vigorous” review of Paramount’s pending acquisition. There will be similar reviews by legal authorities in other states, as well as internationally.

So the Trump regime’s takeover of the free press will be facing significant obstacles. And in the end they will have succeeded only in severely degrading the public’s trust in the institutions that align with Trump.

Trump Blames Himself for His Iran War Fiasco, and Brags About Hate-Watching Lots of ‘FAKE NEWS’

Posted by on April 20, 2026 at 2:11 pm. 0 Comments :

When Donald Trump launched his war against Iran he promised that it would be won easily and quickly. He claimed to have achieved victory just a few hours after it began. Then he claimed victory again and again and again, every couple of days for the past seven weeks. And after each declaration he resumed offensive military operations against the country he claimed to have already defeated.

Trump baby with Iran map

Somehow Trump keeps prosecuting this war, and even escalating it to include more troop deployments and psychopathically genocidal threats against the civilian population of Iran, who he has said he is trying to liberate.

SEE THIS: Trump’s INSANE Threats and War Crimes Against Iran are Dismissed by His Acting Attorney General

In the process, Trump’s massive yet fragile ego was hurt by the analysis of Middle East experts who have concluded that he launched his war against Iran at the behest of Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, So Trump posted a comment on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, to deny that Netanyahu had anything to do with the decision to go to war, and was it was all Trump’s idea. But as usual, he expects everyone to just take his word for it, despite his rock solid reputation as a pathological liar. Trump raged that…

“Israel never talked me into the war with Iran, the results of Oct. 7th, added to my lifelong opinion that IRAN CAN NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON, did.”

So Trump is taking full responsibility for the fiasco in Iran. That’s big of him. But he wants people to believe that he started the war because of the terrorist attack in Israel on October 7, 2023, by Hamas. Trump’s story is that he is now leading the United States to retaliate against Iran for something that Hamas did three years ago to Israelis.

Therefore, the U.S. is just defending the interests of Israel, and Netanyahu had nothing to do with it? Too bad Trump won’t do that for Ukraine, where Russia has killed tens of thousands more innocent civilians. But then he would have to defy his idol and mentor, Vladimir Putin. That’s not gonna happen.

Trump, however. was just getting started. His post went on to complain about the free press who have been doing their job reporting on the war and Trump’s maze of explanations and excuses for it. According to Trump…

“I watch and read the FAKE NEWS Pundits and Polls in total disbelief. 90% of what they say are lies and made up stories, and the polls are rigged, much as the 2020 Presidential Election was rigged.”

REALLY? So Trump spends quite a bit of his time perusing the media that he holds in contempt and regularly maligns as “the enemy of the people.” And in his warped opinion the vast majority of what is reported (90%) “are lies and made up stories.” But he keeps watching and reading it anyway? He is particularly disturbed by the polls that currently show him in record low territory. Even his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News…

Despite the accuracy of the bleak reporting and dismal surveys, Trump continues trying to deceive Americans that the news is all good. He insists that “the results in Iran will be amazing” and that he will prevail with the help of “Iran’s new leaders (Regime Change!).” Never mind the new Ayatollah is the even more radical son of the old Ayatollah, and that the same Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is running the country.

No one knows how long these hostilities will continue. But it’s safe to say that Trump’s lies will persist for as long he presents some semblance of cognitive functionality. Which by all available indications, won’t be for very much longer.

Trump-Backed Media Merger Blocked By Federal Court, Ruling that it Would Violate Antitrust Laws

Posted by on April 18, 2026 at 2:11 pm. 1 Comments :

The consolidation of giant media conglomerates has produced a handful of monopolistic corporations that are mostly run by right-wing billionaires. Oligarchs like Rupert Murdoch and David Ellison wield enormous influence while sucking up to their White House benefactor, Donald Trump, for regulatory favors.

Among the recent mergers on the media’s calendar is one between two television station groups that each own dozens of stations nationwide. Nexstar and Tegna agreed to merge earlier this year after getting a rubber stamp approval by the Trump administration, with Trump’s personal assistance. It’s the sort of totalitarian domination that dictators like Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un enjoy, and that Trump envies and seeks to emulate.

However, the Nexstar-Tegna merger that Trump sought to steamroll into place has run into some turbulence. A group of state Attorneys General filed a lawsuit to quash the merger, and they have just received a favorable court ruling that stops it in its tracks. As reported by NPR…

“A federal judge has blocked local TV giant Nexstar’s takeover of a leading rival, Tegna, until an antitrust trial plays out. If Nexstar loses, it could be compelled to unwind the $6.2 billion deal, in which it absorbed 65 additional stations.”

NPR elaborated saying that if the merger were to go through, Nexstar would wind up owning…

“…265 local stations in 44 states and the District of Columbia, reaching 80% of the nation’s households. Those are all unprecedented figures. Federal competition law limits companies to less than half that level [39%].”

The prospect of yet another massive megalith controlling that much of the mediasphere is more than a little troubling to anyone who cherishes the free press. Particularly if the merger is in violation of the law. And there is no mistaking Nexstar’s political leanings. They were the first station group to take Jimmy Kimmel off the air after he made a couple of harmless jokes about news coverage of Charlie Kirk.

For his part, Trump weighed in on both sides of the merger debate. On November 23, 2025, he posted a comment expressing his opposition to the merger on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, saying “If this would also allow the Radical Left Networks to “enlarge,” I would not be happy…If anything, make them SMALLER!” But more recently, on February 7, 2026, he posted a supportive comment saying “We need more competition against THE ENEMY, the Fake News National TV Networks.”

Trump’s waffling on the merger is typical of his inability to form a coherent position on anything. He often just rides with whatever he was told last by one of his flunkies. In this case he also chose to fulfill the wishes of arch-conservative moguls who have funneled funds into his various scams.

Meanwhile, state AGs are also closely examining Paramount’s pending acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, which includes CNN. Hopefully that will be the next monopolistic mega-merger to collapse.
