Tone Deaf Trump Says ‘I Came as Donald Trump’ to His Luxury Mar-a-Lago Halloween Party – SCARY!

The most prominent issue of concern to the American people throughout the 2026 midterm election has been the cost of living. Majorities of voters across the political spectrum have identified the struggle to pay for necessities such as gas, groceries, healthcare, and housing, as the most motivating factor in their votes.

Which makes it all the more remarkable that Donald Trump and his MAGA Party have positioned themselves as defenders of the wealthy and the giant corporations that are gouging consumers. Trump himself has championed policies (tariffs, the war in Iran, deregulation, etc.) that have fueled runaway inflation. In fact, he seems to be downright proud of it.

Trump’s pride in advancing the welfare of the rich was on full display again for Halloween. He hosted a party at his Mar-a-Lago resort/home that catered to the millionaires and billionaires who Trump calls friends, and who shovel funds to him in myriad sleazy manners including crypto merchandise, and phony tributes. And true to form, Trump expressed his approval of his upper-crusty pals at his exclusive luxury gala when he was asked about his “costume” …

“I came as Donald Trump. I didn’t have time to get — people spent a lot of time and money. Rich people. They spent nine hours getting ready. I had 10 minutes. So I came as Donald Trump.”

Oooh…SCARY! Trump is a truly frightening figure to most Americans. Just the fact that somebody so ignorant, and hateful, and power hungry, has managed to assume a position of power in America is terrifying. No one will be surprised by Trump embracing the affluent class in the opulence of his Palm Beach estate. But just to drive the point home, Trump elaborated in comments reported by the New York Times…

“‘Look at all my rich members,’ he told reporters. ‘They spent all day getting ready. Look at these guys.’ He added: ‘These are the biggest guys on Wall Street.'”

That’s right. Trump is partying with “the biggest guys on Wall Street,” while way too many Americans are staying home, pinching pennies, and lining up at food banks. Meanwhile, the Trump regime is cutting funding for programs that help these citizens. The Times went on to note that…

“It was a striking tone, with polls showing voters souring even more on Mr. Trump’s handling of the economy. One recent one from The New York Times and Siena University found that a majority of voters blame Mr. Trump for the decline: 69 percent disapprove of his handling of the cost of living, 65 percent disapprove of the war in Iran, and nearly 75 percent disapprove of the high price of gas and diesel.”

At a time when the issue of affordability has incited greater participation in politics, with most of the movement going toward the Democrats – and even Democratic Socialists – the tone deafness of Trump and his MAGA comrades is painfully telling. It affirms that they never cared about the welfare of the working class, and never will. And now they aren’t even trying to hide it. Especially Donald “Marie Antoinette” Trump and his “Let them eat cake” crusade. VOTE BLUE!

HALLOWEENIES: The Daily Show Mocks the Poor Horror Quality of the Trump Regime’s Fear Mongering

This year the spooky season is coming just a couple of days before an election that could prove to be truly scary. And while the frightening stories that are circulating are mostly being disseminated by Donald Trump and desperate Republicans, it is the MAGA GOP who are really afraid.

Donald Trump, Fox News, Halloween

Most polls are showing that there could be a massive Blue Tsunami that could flush out much of the Republican majorities in Congress. And no matter what they do, the MAGA-tists just to seem to make things worse for themselves. They know the dire fate that awaits them, but they are dwelling in deep denial.

SEE THIS: TOO LATE! Trump Says He Will Spend $400 Million in Futile Effort to Avoid a Midterm MAGA Massacre

The Trumpies aren’t the only ones to notice this state of affairs. Jordan Klepper of the The Daily Show was stirred by the efforts of Trump and company to turn things around by trying to scare the bejeebus out of everybody. He led off his opening monolog by saying that…

“Republicans are desperately trying to scare voters with fear mongering, boogey men, and horror stories. And you know what? I am here for it!”

Whereupon Klepper dares Trump to “Go ahead, fear monger me.” Followed by video of Trump ranting about “transgender mutilization,” where children go off to school as Timmy and come home as Tammy. This asinine scarytale, that Trump has been telling for weeks, is mocked by Klepper who says that “the scary stories need to be at least a little believable.” Then he asks Trump to “give us another nightmare about what will happen if the Democrats win.” And Trump obliges saying that…

Trump: They will open the floodgates and invite hordes of jihadists to our shores creating a nightmare of violence and terror until you cannot even have a Christmas.
Klepper: Ooh! No Christmas? Is that supposed to be the worst part of the hordes of jihadists bringing violence and terror to our shores? I mean, when I’m being beheaded by ISIS am I supposed to be thinking, “Dammit! I had tickets to the Rockettes?

The attempts by Trump and Republicans to scare people away from voting for Democrats has been a flaming failure. Apparently lying that all Democrats are “radical far left lunatics,” and communists, and violent jihadists, isn’t a particularly marketable smear campaign. Especially when the GOP and their leader have governed so pitifully, resulting in a wrecked economy, an eight month (so far) war in Iran, and the alienation of America’s international allies.

You know what’s really scary? Trump’s Senior Neo-Fascist White House advisor, Stephen Miller, was on Fox News Friday morning reminding viewers that lying repeatedly is sociopathic. Was he talking about Trump?

“To lie so casually, so repeatedly, so comfortably is genuinely sociopathic. And they lied again, and again, and again. When everyone knows the truth. The only reason that Dan Sullivan has a fake Dan, a decoy Dan, running against him is because Democrats orchestrated it.”

Stephen Miller: "To lie so casually, so repeatedly, so comfortably — it's genuinely sociopathic"

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-10-30T20:27:48.354Z

Miller was addressing the Alaska Senate race where there are two candidates named Dan Sullivan. For the record, there is no evidence that anyone in the Mary Peltola camp lied to prop up the second Sullivan, or that Peltola knew anything about it. However, there is mountains of evidence, over many decades, of Trump lying pretty much every time he opens his mouth.

The scariest thing about all of this is that there actually are still people who believe Trump and support him. That sort of rank gullibility is spine chilling. But hopefully they will go back to their netherworld after the election on Tuesday. In the meantime, Happy Halloween everybody.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN: Trump’s Threats to Nuke the Filibuster Could Lead to a Republican Nightmare

On this All Hallows Eve, there is an unnerving quantity of truly spooky horrors hovering over the nation that has been possessed by the Orange Demon, Donald Trump. The monster that MAGA made is as terrifying as any of the Frankensteins, Draculas, or zombies, dreamed up in the most spine-chilling horror fiction.

Donald Trump, Fox News, Halloween

Trump is truly doing the devil’s work as he imposes inflationary tariffs that increase the cost of living, bombs boats in the Caribbean without any evidence that they are anything but innocent fishermen, rounds up migrants for deportation to foreign gulags, prosecutes his political foes, and keeps the government shutdown while the American people suffer from loss of pay and benefits.

SEE THIS: King Trump Craves a ‘Forever’ Shutdown, Whining that ‘You Can’t Make a Deal With These Lunatics’

Now, just in time for Halloween, Trump is issuing threats that should scare the pants of all decent, patriotic Americans. Because he has been unable to shove his despicable and unpopular policies down the throats of the Democratic representatives of the people, which triggers his frustration of not reigning like an all-powerful dictator, Trump is commanding his MAGA GOP puppets in Congress to “NUKE” the longstanding parliamentary rules of the Senate in order to get his way.

Trump posted an interminably long comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, wherein he called for Republicans to invoke what he calls the “”Nuclear Option.” His raging edict to eliminate the filibuster includes the following excerpts…

“It is now time for the Republicans to play their “TRUMP CARD,” and go for what is called the Nuclear Option — Get rid of the Filibuster, and get rid of it, NOW!” […]

“Just a short while ago, the Democrats, while in power, fought for three years to do this, but were unable to pull it off…to substantially expand (PACK!) the United States Supreme Court, make Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico States…and many other highly destructive things.” […]

“I want to do it in order to take advantage of the Democrats.”

Scary, isn’t it? But what’s really frightening about it should worry Republicans more than the Democrats that Trump is aiming to “take advantage of.” Because while there would surely be some near-term political atrocities, finishing off the filibuster could result in some unintended terror for the Trumpists when, inevitably, the Democrats regain the majority in Congress, and the White House. Long desired Democratic legislation could be passed without any interference from the GOP obstructionists. For instance…

  • Pass election reforms including the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and the Freedom to Vote Act to set national standards for early voting, mail-in voting, and redistricting.
  • Supreme Court reforms including ethics standards, term limits, and adding four more justices.
  • Improving on the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) and working toward Medicare for All.
  • The Green New Deal programs to advance clean energy mandates.
  • Increase the federal minimum wage to $15.00 or more.
  • Codify Roe v. Wade and LGBTQ+ equality protections to be applicable nationwide.
  • Pass comprehensive gun safety laws such as universal background checks and banning assault weapons.
  • Expand child care and elder care programs that Republicans have been blocking.
  • Tax the rich and provide tax relief for working class Americans.
  • Statehood for Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico that would enfranchise those citizens and create four more senate seats.
  • Release the Epstein files if they are still being withheld by the time the next Democratic Congress is in session.

And that’s just for starters. It’s ironic that Trump is launching his campaign to nuke the filibuster at the same time as he is declaring his intention to resume testing actual nukes. But the result could be the pursuit and achievement of an aggressive progressive agenda. And Republicans may come to regret the change just so that they could give Trump congressional approvals to do things that he has already been doing without approval or legal justification.

However, we should never underestimate the ability of the GOP to fail to think things through, and wind up hurting themselves. Given their determination to unleash holy hell on America, their incompetence is one of the few bright spots that Democrats and all Americans can rely on.

Kamala Harris Presents: The Creature from the Orange Lagoon

The arrival of Halloween this year precedes another day that may bear some measure of horror for America and the world. Next Tuesday marks the end of the 2024 election season. And with the polls indicating a historically close finish, the nation awaits the frightful possibility of another four years of Donald Trump steering the country toward doom.

Donald Trump, Fox News, Halloween

The fear that is produced by Trump and his MAGA movement is wholly justified considering the harm that he did the last time he occupied the White House. More than a million Americans died due to his gross mismanagement of a deadly pandemic. And the economic catastrophe that ensued, the loss of jobs, the racial division, the reversal of constitutional rights, the ridicule from international allies, and so many more monstrous consequences of the Trump years, make it understandable why he is too scared to face any scrutiny.

SEE THIS: Scaredy Trump Cowers Behind Sean Hannity – Still Too Afraid of Non-MAGA Media and Kamala Harris

As a warning about the wretchedness that would result in the wake of a Trump victory, Kamala Harris released a video that should scare the bejeebus out of rational, patriotic Americans: “The Creature from the Orange Lagoon.”

Holy Smokes! That’s petrifying. And voters need to heed this warning and do everything possible to prevent the plague of Trumpism from taking hold.

For his part, Trump is lashing out at Harris in the the most typically Trumpian manner. He posted a comment to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social that raged…

“Just watched Kamala’s Fake News Conference – ALL LIES! She is desperate but, more importantly, she looks totally EXHAUSTED! She should rest now, and leave the Campaigning to me!”

That tirade was another festival of psychotic projection by Trump. He is notorious for his pathological lying, his persistent and whiny desperation, and his physical feebleness. So he’s accusing Harris of suffering from the maladies that afflict him. In a previous posting, Trump was more elaborate, saying that…

“Lyin’ Kamala is giving a News Conference now, saying that I want to end the Affordable Care Act. I never mentioned doing that, never even thought about such a thing. She also said I want to end Social Security. Likewise, never mentioned it, or thought of it. She is the one that wants to end Social Security and, she will do it, by putting the millions of Migrants coming into our Country into it. Kamala is a LIAR! Everything that comes out of her mouth is a LIE. It’s MADE UP FICTION, and she’s doing it because she’s losing, and losing BIG!”

For the record, Trump and the Republican Congress tried dozens of times to repeal the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare). And MAGA Mike Johnson recently said that he is still planning to try again. When Sen. John McCain famously gave a thumbs down on one of those attempts. Trump went ballistic on him. And in December of 2023, he promised to get rid of Obamacare and replace it with his own plan that he never actually produced, despite repeatedly claiming that it would be revealed in “two weeks.”

“Obamacare is too expensive, and otherwise, not good healthcare. I will come up with a much better, and less expensive, alternative! People will be happy, not sad!”

As for Social Security, Trump’s budget contained cuts to the beloved program every year that he was in office. And a recent analysis of his plans should he be reelected were decidedly gloomy. According to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget…

“[E]very one of Trump’s favorite ideas in this campaign would accelerate Social Security’s time to insolvency and increase the resulting cuts to benefits.”

Just the thought of Trump returning to any position of power is terrifying. His blueprint for his neo-fascist regime, Project 2025, is ghastly. And his aspirations of authoritarianism are spine-chilling. But these are not Halloween pranks. They are the manifestation of a Trump nightmare administration that even his closest associates fear. Which makes it all the more imperative that we spend the next few days making certain that he will never again step his bone-spurred feet into the White House.

BE AFRAID: Trump is Scared that the New York Post Has ‘Gone Bad’ and May Soon ‘Be No More’

On this All Hallows Eve the Creature From the Black (Mar-a) Lagoon is prowling the Interwebs with his plaintive whines and sharpened combover in search of weakened RINOs and the fearsome “Fake News.” In his corporal disguise as Desperate Donald Trump, he is casting infantile insults at his perceived foes, which includes those on whom he used to depend for propaganda and adoring affirmation.

Donald Trump, Fox News, Halloween

Forsaking the season’s traditions of entertaining children and dispensing sweets, Trump was up late posting pathetic comments on his pitifully failing social media scam, Truth Social. At 1:12 AM Trump yowled “REMEMBER, CROOKED JOE BIDEN AND HIS RADICAL LEFT THUGS WAITED THREE YEARS TO BRING THESE INDICTMENTS & LAWSUITS AGAINST ME, RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF MY CAMPAIGN!” Then, at 4:24 AM, he re-posted the same comment, cryptically adding “ELECTION INTERFERENCE!!!” These are laments that have lately been consuming his oatmeal-like brain matter.

SEE THIS: Trump is FREAKING OUT, Saying that His Trials Should Have Started Before He Committed His Crimes

As the day wore on, Trump’s tantrums became more pronounced and less coherent. And by midday he was in a rage over some undisclosed offense committed by the New York Post, the sister newspaper to Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News. Trump wailed that…

“Since the New York Post went bad on Trump – and they have gone bad – their numbers have fallen tremendously. People aren’t buying it. They don’t wanna read that. The New York Post has treated me great for almost a lifetime. And now, for whatever reason – and I guess it’s radical left or the RINO stuff – they have gone really bad, and it’s ridiculous. But their numbers are down. The numbers of readers and everything else have gone down tremendously. Great people are tired of hearing fake news. The New York Post used to be so good, but not anymore. We have to get it back before it’s too late. Because frankly, if they don’t change, there will be no more New York Post. And that would be sad.”

Judging by his babbling repetition, Trump is apparently of the opinion that the New York Post has “gone bad” and that that is “sad.” He doesn’t bother to back up his claims that “their numbers have fallen tremendously,” but anyone who has paid attention to the print news business knows that most newspapers have suffered declines in the digital age, and that it has nothing to do with being insufficiently worshipful toward Trump.

Perhaps Trump is upset in sympathy with the Post’s White House correspondent, Steven Nelson, who has been bitterly complaining that Biden’s press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, hasn’t called on him lately. A couple of weeks ago he barked that “You haven’t called on me in two seasons Karine.” To which she replied, “And I’m not calling on you today.”

Now he’s lashed out again after trying to ask a political question about the 2024 presidential election, which would be improper for White House personnel to comment on. After Jean-Pierre told him that she wasn’t going to answer his question, he yelled out that “It’s anti-democratic to refuse questions from our country’s fourth largest newspaper, Karine.”

Maybe he should try asking proper questions, rather than making political attacks in costumes covering up his thinly veiled MAGA motives. [Note: Steven Nelson of the Post advises me that he was not the reporter who asked the political question. That was an assumption based on the video clip above that was unclear and unwarranted].

It’s all pretty darn terrifying. Especially Trump’s obvious psychotic collapse. If only this was just a Halloween prank. But it is all too apparent that Trump is in a downward spiral that is noticeably accelerating. And it is horrific that he still attracts a small but noisy band of glassy-eyed disciples who want him back in the White House. And that, to put it mildly, would be sad.
