Putin Prodigy Trump Calls to Criminalize Democratic Socialism and Deport Its Leaders

The desperation of Donald Trump is revealing itself in ever more obvious and troubling ways. Despite his notable mental impairment, it is difficult to believe that he isn’t aware of just how unpopular he and his policies are. If were were truly as oblivious as he appears, he wouldn’t be acting out with such frenzied panic as his electoral prospects deteriorate.

Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin

As the midterm elections approach, Trump is escalating his war on democracy. He has installed a political crony, Bill Pulte, in the position of acting Director of National Intelligence for the express purpose of weaponizing the agency in order to obstruct Democrats from voting in November. He is also pressuring Republicans in Congress to pass his phony “Save America Act” (aka Voter Suppression Act) by any means necessary, and for the same purpose.

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

However, Trump may feel that he wasn’t making himself clear on his intentions to subvert free and fair democratic elections. So he took the additional step of posting a comment on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, to clarify his his commitment to totalitarian rule. The comment said simply “DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISM MUST BE CRIMINALIZED; LEADERS DEPORTED.”

Trump is reacting to the recent electoral victories of progressive Democrats that he ignorantly calls “communists.” But now he has escalated his reaction to an outright advocacy of criminalizing political thought that he doesn’t like. Just like his hero Vladimir Putin does in Russia. The fact that Trump thinks it’s appropriate to outlaw political speech, and punish people with whom he disagrees, should outrage American patriots who cherish the Constitution and the principles it embodies.

That wasn’t the only outrageous commentary by Trump today. He also addressed his war against Iran that he is losing. In another Truth Social comment he raged that…

“The Hormuz Strait is OPEN [but also that] We are reinstating the THE IRANIAN BLOCKADE [and that the U.S.A] will be reimbursed, at the rate of 20% on all cargo shipped.”

So Trump is declaring (for the umpteenth time) that the Strait of Hormuz is open. But at the same time he declares that he is blockading it. And to make matters worse, he announces that the U.S. will charging 20% on all cargo for every ship that seeks to pass through the Strait. That, however. is not keeping it open. Rather, it is holding it hostage. And even though he has no legal jurisdiction to follow through, he issues the threat that will impede trade and raise the cost of all products that traverse the Strait.

Finally, Trump’s dementia is flaring up in a big way. He also posted a comment on Truth Social declaring – without any link to a corroborating source – that he has a “59% Approval Rating.” But it appears that he mixed up reports that were actually of his disapproval rating. There are no surveys that put him anywhere near 59% approval. On the other hand, there are many that found his disapproval at that level. (Click on this tweet for more polls).

You would be really hard pressed to find better examples of cognitive incoherence. It would be bad enough if it were your uncle. But it’s totally intolerable for the president of the United States. And yet, Trump’s MAGA confederates continue to tolerate it. Hopefully they won’t be around to fluff their Dear Leader after the midterm elections.

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

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

Lindsey Graham, Donald Trump

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Fox and Friends Trump-Fluffers are Dumbstruck When Told the Truth About Trump Losing in Iran

The propaganda machine of Donald Trump and his Gaslighting Gang is spinning furiously to deceive the American people about what is happening in Iran. For the most part , the only people being deceived are Trump’s gullible flock of cult disciples who have been brainwashed to believe what ever he says.

Fox News, Donald Trump Baby

It’s difficult to keep track of the number of times that Trump has declared that a ceasefire was agreed to with Iran, followed shortly by renewed bombing. Now in its fourth month, the war that Trump promised would take only days continues to rage despite his insistence that Iran’s military has been completely destroyed, and then destroyed again, and again, and…

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

Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda – aka Fox News – is playing its part in these deceptions. But even they are finding it harder to maintain their composure when confronted with inconvenient truths by their own guests. For example, on Sunday morning conservative radio host Sid Rosenberg was invited to join the “Curvy Couch” potatoes of Fox and Friends for what they thought would be a friendly chat about Trump’s “victorious” misadventures in Iran. It didn’t go well from the start, with co-host Griff Jenkins saying that…

“The way the administration sees it, and president Trump, is ‘We can go as long as we want. And ultimately finishing it for good is on the table.'”

What Jenkins was referring to was Trump’s recent genocidal threat that “Iran will no longer exist” if they violated the ceasefire agreement that Trump has already violated. But rather than getting the expected blind concurrence, Rosenberg went rogue, saying that…

“We can’t go for as long as we want. Clearly the gas prices are too high. Midterms are coming up. Look, let’s have an honest discussion about this…We haven’t won anything yet. I’m sorry Mr. President to break the news. But we haven’t won anything yet. There’s no end to this. We’re kind of in the same exact place we were a couple of months ago. They’re still striking us. We’re still striking them. Israel is still nervous. And quite frankly, American voters are still nervous. So how do you claim victory when the game is far from over? We’re in the 6th inning.”

The Fox Friends were visibly stunned into silence. They couldn’t refute Rosenberg, so they didn’t even bother to respond. Rosenberg went on to discuss how Trump keeps threatening Iran, but that they don’t care and are not being compelled to make any concessions. Rosenberg also noted that there is no actual deal, only a vague memorandum of understanding that promises Iran billions of dollars while committing them to nothing but opening the Strait of Hormuz, which was open before Trump started all of this.

This illustrates how hard it is for Fox News to keep up their propaganda. But they are nothing if not determined. Yesterday they interviewed White House deputy press secretary, Abigail Jackson, who rattled off some blatantly false talking points and the preposterous assertion that “Trump has been right about everything on Iran.”

This White House flack says that "Trump has been right about everything on Iran.""Their military has been totally destroyed." WRONG!"The Strait [of Hormuz] is open." WRONG!"Oil and gas prices came down." WRONG!The question is: Has Trump been right about ANYTHING? [NOPE]

News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-06-27T09:23:25.487Z

Which is the sort of painfully obvious nonsense that we can expect from Fox News, who also said this on the unrelated subject of Trump’s disastrous “Freedumb 250” fair in Washington, D.C…

FOX NEWS BEING FOX NEWS:Reporting at Trump's "Freedumb 250" flop that "We've got thousands of people celebrating," while the video shows a few dozen lost tourists.And he hopes that a lot of them went home to watch this fiasco on Fox. So they can hear him lie about it? ?????

Lying Fox News Gets Schooled on X After Quoting Trump Lying About Oil Flowing Out of Hormuz

The regularity with which Fox News disseminates wholly fabricated fantasies on behalf of their Republican benefactors has been a hallmark of their so-called “journalism” from its inception thirty years ago.

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

Donald Trump, Fox News, Lies

If anything, they have become even more consistently dishonest as the years went by. Particularly since they adopted an obsequious affinity for the notoriously pathological liar, Donald Trump. And Trump’s deceit has grown exponentially with regard to his reckless and illegal war against Iran.

SEE THIS: Trump Posts an Absolutely BONKERS Comment on His Fake ‘Peace’ Deal with Iran

On Tuesday morning Trump posted a comment on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, bragging about his imaginary successes in his Middle East misadventures. He said that…

“19 Million Barrels of Oil flowed out of the Hormuz Strait yesterday, an all time RECORD. Oil prices are tumbling down, and the World is a much safer place!!!”

Virtually everything in that comment is untrue. Oil prices are still much higher than they were before the war. The oil is not flowing smoothly through the Hormuz Strait. And the world is hardly safer with Iran getting billions of dollars as a result of Trump’s “peace deal” that they are free to spend on new military equipment and funding for terrorists groups, but with few concessions on their part.

Shortly after Trump posted that comment, Fox News reported it on their X/Twitter account. They prefaced it by saying that “Trump is celebrating what he says was a record day for oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz.”

Unfortunately for Fox News, their focus on Trump’s assertion about the “all time record” for oil flowing through the Strait got a fact check by the moderators on X/Twitter. A “community Note” was attached to the post that said simply that “Pre-war, 20 million barrels passed through the gulf each day, on average.”

So not only was it not a record, it didn’t even match the average for pre-war oil flow. Even worse, as reported by Fortune, “US Central Command said on Saturday that 17 million barrels had passed through Hormuz.” So even according to the military leadership under Trump, the oil flow was less than both average flow, and the lie that Trump told.

This is another example of the multilayered patchwork of lies by Trump and his MAGA media minions that have become routine. And when we add them to his lies about everything from the economy, to immigration, to his many tributes to himself (ballrooms, reflecting pools, triumphal arches, etc.) we end up with a compendium of concoctions that don’t come close to passing the smell test.

And yet, Trump’s cult continues to believe whatever he tells them. And his MAGA media continues to regurgitate what they know are flagrant falsehoods. But the good news is that the majority of the American people have seen through Trump’s deceptions and regularly dismiss them. Which is why his approval ratings are what are really in record territory, on the low side. November can’t come soon enough.

Jimmy Kimmel Crushes Trump with Truths About His Iran War Fiasco And Channels Melania

This week Donald Trump trumpeted his prideful and delusional declarations of victory in the reckless and illegal war that he started against Iran. Never mind that all indicators show that Iran was actually the winner, and that Trump is pitifully trying to claim glory for himself that he doesn’t deserve.

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

Jimmy Kimmel with Trump baby

While Trump’s imaginary victory is all in his head, most rational observers are not fooled by his babbling. Even many of his fellow Republicans are disputing his rosy scenario that defies reality, warning that “giving Iran’s theocratic regime access to billions of dollars in economic relief would be a major ‘blunder.'” None of that, however, has deterred Trump from bragging/lying on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social

SEE THIS: Trump Posts an Absolutely BONKERS Comment on His Fake ‘Peace’ Deal with Iran

Among the most honest and insightful analyses of the latest Trump debacle was one delivered by Jimmy Kimmel on Wednesday night. It was a concise itemization of the main points of ineptitude that is emblematic of Trump’s brand of “leadership.” Kimmel’s critique included that…

  • “We killed the Ayatollah…
  • “Replaced him with a younger, more radical Ayatollah…
  • “We did nothing for the protesters in Iran…
  • “We removed the sanctions that were on Iran before the war started…
  • “We got a ceasefire that we already had before this…
  • “We opened the strait, which was already open before this…
  • “We used up who knows how many billions of dollars on bombs and missiles…
  • “Many American and civilian lives were lost…
  • “We gave Iran full control of the strait of Hormuz…
  • “And we threw in a minimum of $300 billion, because why not?

Jimmy Kimmel tells the truth about how Trump lost his war with Iran & settled for a pathetic non-agreement that got the U.S. nothing.So expect Snowflake Trump to whine about Kimmel tomorrow on Truth Social and tell his "Justice" Department and FCC to go after him, and tell ABC/Disney to fire him.

News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-06-18T11:01:14.367Z

Kimmel wrapped that up by presuming what Melania Trump might be thinking: “Right now, Melania’s wondering, ‘How do I get a deal like that?'” Kimmel later consoled his audience with a reference to Trump’s unsavory relationship with his pedo-pal Jeffrey Epstein saying that…

“The one area in which the war’s been a rousing success is it did take our attention away from the Trump-Epstein files. But don’t worry, the second it is really over, we will get right back into that.”

This example of truth-telling by Kimmel is what keeps getting him him trouble with Trump and the MAGA cult in Washington. It’s what got Stephen Colbert canceled. So it wouldn’t surprise anyone if Snowflake Trump started whining about it on Truth Social and telling his “Justice” Department goons and his corrupt FCC to go after him, and also to tell ABC/Disney to fire him.

They tried that once before. It didn’t work. But failure has never been a deterrent to Trump. So Kimmel should remain vigilant, and stay strong, and remember that Trump only wins if you capitulate to him. Bullies always wither when you fight back. And no one is more withering than Trump.

Trump Totally Humiliated Himself – And America – 3 Times (at Least) at the G7 Summit in France

The walking pile of puerile perversity that we know as Donald Trump has once again demonstrated how grossly distant he is from any semblance of civil conduct. Trump’s massive yet fragile ego drives everything he does or says. And it’s particularly disturbing when he does it on foreign soil.

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

Donald Trump

Just before gallivanting off Evian, France, Trump threw himself an 80th birthday bash at the White House with a show of sweaty, half-naked men wrestling in a giant cage. Just the sort of thing that exudes the dignity and honor of the presidential residence. And Trump made certain to offer his own personal expressions of honor…

SEE THIS: Trump Goes Off on a Racist Rant Shortly After His White-Trashing of the White House and America

The next day Trump boarded Air Force One to jet off to France for the annual G7 summit with the leaders of the world’s wealthiest, most highly industrialized democracies. And while there he comported himself in exactly the manner that you would expect of a vulgarian with no diplomatic sensibilities whatsoever. What follows are three notable examples of how Trump embarrasses America every time he opens his mouth. And representing our nation on the world stage doesn’t seem to temper his grotesquery.

TRUMP THREATENS TO NUKE SOME NUCLEAR ARMED NATIONS
“Whoever sells them [Iran] a nuclear weapon will get nuked themselves, if they sold a nuclear weapon, only a few that could do it, they would be nuked. They wouldn’t have that country long.”
REALLY? So Trump is threatening to nuke Russia, or China, or North Korea, or maybe France? Does he think that they wouldn’t defend themselves by nuking the U.S. right back? Does he think at all?

TRUMP THANKS XI JINPING AND VLADIMIR PUTIN FOR BEING NEUTRAL
“I want to thank China and President XI. I was with him, and he stayed neutral, totally neutral, and I appreciate it. And I would want to thank Vladimir Putin. He was very neutral. They could have made it much more difficult for us.”
For the record, Iran did receive military technology, drones, and missile components from China. And Russia shared intelligence that actually helped Iran to locate and kill U.S. forces. Both countries propped up the Iranian economy by purchasing discounted Iranian oil. So thanks, from your fanboy Trump.

TRUMP DISPARAGES AMERICAN DEMOCRACY
“Nobody plays rougher than the United States. Look, our elections are totally rigged. We have rigged elections.”
So Trump currently presides over an all-Republican government with GOP majorities in Congress and the Supreme Court, but still chastises the U.S. for having “rigged” elections? Maybe he’s right. If our elections were free and fair there would be more political diversity. The Electoral College and the Senate representation is anything but fair.

Also, Trump complains about his buddy, former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro, being convicted for plotting a military coup after the 2022 election. But Trump ignores his own persecution of Democrats like Gov. Gavin Newsom, Senators Mark Kelly, Elissa Slotkin, Adam Schiff, etc., New York Attorney General Letitia James, former FBI Director James Comey, and many more.

Also notable is a Trump post at 2:50am on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. He endorsed MAGA GOP Rep. Mike Collins for the Senate in Georgia, but had little to say about Collins. However, he calls his Democratic opponent, current Sen. Jon Osoff, “Os(jerk)off.” That’s Trump always staying classy and setting a standard for America’s kids.

This Trump comment illustrates just how unfit he is for any office.He thinks he's clever with his infantile nicknames, calling Sen. Jon Osoff "Os(jerk)off." What a great role model for America's children.However, Democrats will welcome him to Georgia to campaign for Collins. Come often, Donnie.

WOW! Secretary of War Crimes Pete Hegseth Admits Trump’s Iran Deal Gets Nothing that Obama Didn’t Get

The political and PR tug of war between Donald Trump and Iran is continuing to strain relations without making any observable progress. On Saturday Trump posted a comment on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, declaring that an alleged “peace” deal would be signed Sunday (today). [SEE UPDATE BELOW on report of an alleged deal being reached – but no signing today]

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

Barack Obama and Donald Trump

The full comment that Trump posted was flagrantly dishonest and downright bizarre at levels never seen before (as he might put it). He insulted President Obama, misrepresented the deals by both Obama and himself, invented imaginary scenarios of future relations with Iran, and even threatened nuclear war. No, really…

SEE THIS: Trump Posts an Absolutely BONKERS Comment on His Fake ‘Peace’ Deal with Iran

On Sunday morning Trump’s Secretary of War Crimes, Pete Hegseth, was interviewed on CBS News’ Face the Nation by Margaret Brennan. During their discussion Hegseth admitted something that totally contradicts what Trump has been lying about for years with regard to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) negotiated by the Obama administration to halt Iran’s nuclear aspirations.

Hegseth: Obama begged Iran for a deal. We bombed Iran, and then put in a blockade…The document says Iran will never have a nuclear weapon, won’t seek one, won’t buy one, won’t have one.
Brennan: JCPOA said that too.
Hegseth: But they didn’t have the threat of military force the way that we do…and that’s why they’re at the table. The huge difference is we did this from a position of strength. Trump led with military might.

Trump's Secretary of War Crimes, Pete Hegseth, admits Obama got Iran to agree to never have nuclear weapons (which Trump denies and lies about).Then Hegseth said the difference is Trump did it with military force (costing billions and killing thousands), while Obama did it through diplomacy.

News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-06-14T16:16:30.812Z

So Hegseth is actually conceding that the Obama deal secured Iran’s commitment to cease all of their nuclear weapons programs. That’s something that Trump has repeatedly said wasn’t true. Never mind that the very first paragraph of the JCPOA says that “Iran reaffirms that under no circumstances will Iran ever seek, develop or acquire any nuclear weapons.”

What Hegseth describes as the difference between the confirmed Obama deal and Trump’s more ambiguous and non-binding “Memorandum of Understanding” (MOU) is that Trump’s deal was obtained by military force and hyperbolic threats that TACO Trump kept reneging on. By contrast, Obama’s deal was secured through diplomacy, carried out by experienced negotiators, and verified by the independent International Atomic Energy Agency. None of which Trump’s team accomplished.

Hegseth implies that Trump’s hawkish warmongering is superior to Obama’s statesmanship, despite the fact that Obama got tangible results without spending billions of dollars and slaughtering thousands of innocent people. However, there are still no results whatsoever from Trump’s dealings after four months of a war that Trump said wouldn’t take more than a few days.

Meanwhile, Trump’s Homeland Security secretary, Markwayne Mullin, was also on the Sunday morning media circuit, On Fox News he praised Trump because “On his birthday he’s still working.” Then he specifies what Trump is “working” on. Was it the Iran deal that was supposed to be signed imminently? Or lowering costs for gas, groceries, housing, or healthcare? Or anything else that the American people actually want or need?

Nope. It’s his tacky and corrupt UFC birthday bash on the White House lawn. Because Trump’s priorities are squarely focused on what is most important – To him, and him alone!

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

UPDATE: According to Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif in a comment posted on Twitter/X, “The Peace Deal between the United States of America and Islamic Republic of Iran has been REACHED.” and that “The official signing ceremony will be on Friday, 19 June.” So there is no signing Sunday as Trump said, and a lot can change in a week. So nobody should be confident that this will pan out.

Also, while Trump posted a giddy, celebratory confirmation on Truth Social, there is no confirmation from Iran, and no details on the terms of the deal or whether it is a binding agreement or just an MOU. Also, nothing indicates that the deal contains anything that wasn’t already in the Obama deal. But reports say that Iran will get billions more from Trump, including $300 billion in recovery/reconstruction funds, and have less stringent restrictions and monitoring.

Trump Posts an Absolutely BONKERS Comment on His Fake ‘Peace’ Deal with Iran

America is now in the fourth month of the war with Iran that Donald Trump said would only last a few days. Instead what Trump has called a “little excursion” has cost billions of dollars, thousands of lives, and the reputation of the United States as a diplomatic superpower.

Trump baby with Iran map

Throughout the conflict Trump has made repeated promises that a deal to end the war was imminent. Those promises were quickly broken when Iran disputed that any agreement was made, followed by Trump issuing more threats that amounted to war crimes and blaming the breakdown on everything from Iran’s “dishonorable” leaders, to “radical lunatic” Democrats, to former Presidents Joe Biden and Barack Obama.

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

On Saturday morning Trump took time off from planning his 80th birthday bash on the lawn of the White House with a bunch of sweaty, half naked UFC fighters, brutally beating each other, to post a comment that put his derangement on display on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, about yet another alleged “peace” deal with Iran. His comment was typically littered with lies, self-exaltations, and derogatory remarks about his political foes. What follows are a few choice excerpts with annotations. Trump began by saying that…

“Barack Hussein Obama’s Deal with Iran, the JCPOA, was an easy, beautiful, smooth road to a Nuclear Weapon.”
Actually, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) states explicitly in the first paragraph that “Iran reaffirms that under no circumstances will Iran ever seek, develop or acquire any nuclear weapons.” And that prohibition would be monitored and enforced by the independent International Atomic Energy Agency.

“My Agreement with Iran is the exact opposite.”
First of all, there is no agreement at this time. What Trump is talking about is just a “Memorandum of Understanding” that proposes a 60 day ceasefire to continue talks in the future. It is not in any way binding and has no independent verification. Nevertheless, Trump added the preposterous claim that “they [Iran] no longer want a Nuclear Weapon.” Yeah, right.

“The Deal is scheduled to get signed tomorrow.”
Of course it is. And since we have Trump’s word on this we can rest assured that it is likely not going to happen. But even if it does, it is still only a non-binding document of future intent. Still, Trump bragged that “after it is signed, the Hormuz Strait is OPEN TO ALL>” Well, it was open to all before he started this war. So he’s admitting that there has been nothing gained.

“Unlike Obama’s Hundreds of Billions of Dollars in payments to them…no money will exchange hands.”
Once again, Trump is lying about Obama’s plan making payments of “Hundreds of Billions of Dollars” to Iran. Iran got less than $2 billion. And that was just the unfreezing of Iran’s own money that was being held in foreign banks. More importantly, Trump is lying about his own plan that calls for unfreezing $24 billion in Iranian funds, as well as an additional “$300 billion in reconstruction money.”

“[W]e have the ultimate alternative, hopefully never to be used again!”
This is how Trump closed his comment. It sounds very much like a threat to use nuclear weapons against Iran. Which is a lousy way to advance his alleged signing of a peace deal.

Usually Trump says that whatever bullshit promise he is making will be fulfilled in two weeks. So it’s good news of sorts that we will only have to wait until tomorrow to see if he welches on this one. But even if there is a signing of some paper promise, Trump will still have 60 days to screw it up. Which is way more than he needs.

YEAH, SURE! Trump Tells Fox News He Spoke with Iranian Officials Who Love the Great Press They Get

The increasingly bad news for Donald Trump continues to spill out as his reckless and illegal war with Iran spirals out of control. In the past 24 hours Trump has whined that Iran isn’t capitulating quickly enough, but also that he has secured a complete peace agreement with Iran wherein the U.S. is getting everything it wants. They can’t both be true.

Donald Trump, Insane, Straight Jacket

Even worse, the dementia of Trump is springing up with ever more frequency with each passing day. In addition to his routine dissemination of flagrant falsehoods and infantile insults, Trump is also having imaginary conversations that he relays to his official Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News. And Fox dutifully reports whatever Trump says without question.

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

On Thursday morning Trump did another one of his pajama phone-in interviews with the “Curvy Couch” potatoes of Fox and Friends. during their discussion Trump revealed some juicy details of an alleged phone call he had with unnamed Iranian “officials.” Trump said that…

“Behind the scenes I will tell you – they won’t even dispute it, although they probably would because it makes sense – They’re very good at publicity, but they’re not good at fighting. They can’t believe the press they get. They can’t even believe it. And they told me. They said, ‘It’s amazing how well we’re doing in the papers.’ We’re not doing so well. They’re negotiating with us to make a deal.”

Trump: "Behind the scenes I must tell you Iran can't believe the press they get. They can't even believe it. And they told me. They said, 'It's amazing how well we're doing in the papers. We're not doing so well–' They're negotiating with us to make a deal."

Virtually every conversation that Trump claims to have had with Iran was promptly disputed shortly after Trump made the claim. This one is unlikely to be any different. Why would Iran ever consider bragging to Trump about getting good press coverage? Where exactly is that coverage? And notice that Trump says in the same breath that Iran would not dispute it, and also that they would. Which point is trying to make?

Furthermore, Trump praises Iran’s PR prowess, but disparages their fighting ability. Even though Iran has held off Trump’s assault for four months now, when he said that this war would be over in a matter of days. And while the war is broadly opposed by huge majorities of the American people – dragging down Trump’s approval ratings and the Republican Party’s electoral prospects – Trump can’t seem to figure out any way to get out of it.

Earlier Trump claimed to have “dropped $250 million of bombs” on Iran (a number that he plucked from his demented brain that is fixated on his U.S. birthday bash). So while the American people are struggling financially, Trump is wasting hundreds of millions of dollars for no benefit. he could have built another ballroom for that.

Trump also said that Iranians had called him in the White House Situation Room last night asking him to stop the bombing (that hadn’t started yet). However, cell phones are strictly prohibited in the Situation Room. So that was another imaginary conversation.

Closing up the interview, Fox News host Ainsley Earhardt told Trump not to worry because “Our viewers are watching Fox. So they see this coverage. They’re not reading the New York Times “ Which is an unusually honest appraisal of the Fox News audience that is deeply indoctrinated into the Trump cult and oblivious to any other source of information. Especially information that is truthful and aligned with reality. It was nice of Earhardt to admit that.

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

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

Donald Trump and Mike Johnson

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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