HUH? Trump Flunky Tells Fox News that Small Businesses Are ‘Excited’ to Pay Taxes Thanks to Trump

It’s high time that Trump gets credit where credit is deserved. And truth be told, no president in U.S. history has been as averse to the truth as the current occupant of the White House. His record of flagrantly lying about all matters, great or small, is unsurpassed. And while he isn’t particularly good at it, he is devoted to it.

Donald Trump, Stock Market

Fortunately for Trump, he doesn’t need much skill to pass off his lies to the cult followers he is lying to. They hungrily eat them up and beg for more. And they can’t be persuaded that Trump’s lies are completely removed from reality because cult followers are brainwashed to believe only their Dear Leader and assume that everyone else is lying to them. Which allows Trump to take credit for virtually anything.

In addition to the barrage of flagrant falsehoods that flow from Trump himself, the Confederacy of Trumpists that populate his regime are similarly trained to disseminate untruths to the loyal MAGA-tists. Case in point is Trump’s SBA Administrator, Kelly Loeffler. She was at her post on Fox News Sunday morning to unleash a litany of lies to the willing believers…

“Small business optimism is really spiking under president Trump after four very difficult years under Joe Biden….I don’t think small business owners have ever been so excited to pay their taxes thanks to President Trump.”

Kelly Loeffler: "I don't think small business owners have ever been so excited to pay their taxes thanks to President Trump."

Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-12-28T15:16:50.293Z

Those comments are typical of the sort of gaslighting that Trump et al engage in. She expects people to accept the notion that business owners are actually “excited” to pay their taxes now that Trump has made it so much fun. Can’t you just imagine all of these taxpayers grinning ear to ear as they sign their tax returns and skip merrily down the street to deposit them in the mailbox?

There’s just one little problem. None of what Loeffler is saying is remotely true. To the contrary, small businesses are struggling to keep their heads above water in Trump’s collapsing economy. The Washington Post just published a detailed analysis entitled Bankruptcies soar as companies grapple with inflation, tariffs.” The article began…

“Corporate bankruptcies surged in 2025, rivaling levels not seen since the immediate aftermath of the Great Recession, as import-dependent businesses absorbed the highest tariffs in decades.

“At least 717 companies filed for bankruptcy through November, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. That’s roughly 14 percent more than the same 11 months of 2024, and the highest tally since 2010.”

For the record, the 11 months of 2024 that saw far fewer bankruptcies were presided over by President Biden, who Loeffler falsely accused of leading through “four very difficult years.” While there were some challenges during Biden’s term, they were resolved before Trump was inaugurated. After which his policies just made things worse.

Had Loeffler ever actually spoken to any small business owners, she would know that that are not “excited” about paying taxes. Nor are they thrilled with the present economic conditions. She would know that they are suffering through hard times that are the direct result of Trump’s ignorance, negligence, and even deliberate malfeasance.

As for the business owners, they know that they are paying more for imported goods thanks to Trump’s tariffs. They know that it’s harder to hire and retain employees thanks to his short-sighted, xenophobic immigration policies. They know that there is anxiety inducing uncertainty caused by Trump frequently shifting his actions and rhetoric. And they are all to aware of the abysmal consumer sentiment ratings that are near historic lows. The University of Michigan’s Index of Consumer Sentiment is down 28 points from the same time last year when Biden was finishing his term.

Yet somehow Trump’s SBA chief has the gall to go on Fox News and tell their viewers that they are all “excited” to pay their taxes. You have to wonder how many of them just nodded their heads and said “Yeah, it’s so exciting.” But it’s more likely that most of them furrowed their brows and thought “WTF is she talking about?”

POOR BABY: Trump Whines that Polls Don’t Give Him Credit for ‘the Greatness of America’

There is one thing that virtually every neutral observer of Donald Trump agrees on. He has a massive and fragile ego, and an insatiable appetite for constant attention and approval. It’s why he spends so much of his time exalting himself and forcing his flunkies to lavish him with fawning flattery at his staged reality show style pseudo-cabinet meetings.

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

Donald Trump, Wah

Naturally, with Trump’s profoundly advanced case of malignant narcissism, he requires uninterrupted infusions of worshipful adoration. When he isn’t getting a sufficient amount of it from his glassy-eyed subordinates, he looks to the press for more unfettered and decidedly undeserved accolades. And when he doesn’t get it there, he unleashes his pitifully impotent wrath.

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

On Thursday morning Trump was right where you would expect him to be, busily working hard on behalf of the American people by rage-posting incoherent comments on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. On this occasion he was addressing an issue that has surely been of great concern to the nation: “Why am I not being venerated as much as I think I should be.” He complained that…

“I inherited a MESS from the Biden Administration — The Worst Inflation in History.”

This is an often repeated complaint by Trump. Never mind that it has no resemblance to reality. When President Biden left office the economy was booming. And although there had been an inflation problem a couple of years before, with it rising to about nine percent, the Biden administration had brought it down to about three percent, which is where it is today. So Trump has not improved it in the least. And he certainly had not reduced it to zero, as he claimed a bit later in the same comment…

“When will I get credit for having created, with No Inflation, perhaps the Greatest Economy in the History of our Country?”

Trump has a tendency to exaggerate everything he says in manner that inflates his preposterously high opinion of himself. By no means has he created “the Greatest Economy in the History of our Country.” To the contrary, the economy is sputtering on the brink of recession due to his inflationary tariffs (aka taxes) that serve no practical purpose. He also has a tendency to demand credit where none is due. That’s particularly ridiculous when he insists that he should be elevated in the polls, as he said a bit later in the same comment…

“When will Polls reflect the Greatness of America at this point in time?”

The answer to that question is that the polls will reflect America’s greatness when it has a president who can live up to it. Currently Trump’s polling is at the low point for both of his occupations of the White House. He is in negative territory on virtually every issue, including immigration, foreign policy, trade, and most problematic, the economy. As reported in The Hill

“The latest AP-NORC survey, released Thursday, found that just 31 percent of respondents said they approve of the president’s handling of the economy. That marks a 2 percentage point decrease relative to last month, a 9 point decline relative to March, and Trump’s lowest rating on the issue during his first or second term.”

[And that…]

“Inflation, which Trump had vowed to tackle on the campaign trail, was at 3 percent for the 12 months ending in September, an increase of 0.6 points relative to September 2024, BLS data shows. Inflation was also at 3 percent in January 2025, when the president returned to the Oval Office.”

It’s to be expected that Trump is blaming Biden for his own failures. However, the American people don’t agree with him. In fact. even 37% of Trump’s own voters disapprove of the economy and worse, they say that he is to blame. Which is probably why he is so furiously posting defensive comments on his own dedicate propaganda platform. But something tells me that that isn’t going to help him much.

HUH? Fox News Praises Trump for Being 80 Years Old and Severely Sleep Deprived

The endless flow of gushing adoration for Donald Trump by his devotees at his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, is one of the best indicators of an emerging authoritarian state wherein the aspiring dictator exerts total control over a compliant press corps.

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

Trump in Bed, Eating, Sad

However, the degree of Trump-fluffing that comes out of Fox News puts the state media mavens in North Korea and Russia to shame. The Foxies really should keep handkerchiefs handy to wipe the drool that’s dripping from their chins.

This was particularly notable in a segment on “The Ingraham Angle” Friday night (video below) when fill-in host Lisa Boothe raved about Trump’s allegedly abundant energy. Which is so far removed from reality that even the New York Times, that has been sucking up to Trump of late, has noticed Drowsy Don’s struggle to stay awake.

SEE THIS: SLEEPY DON Throws a Tedious Tantrum Triggered By a New York Times Exposé of Trump Fatigue

Boothe referenced the article in the Times to lead into her lazy opinion that Trump’s dynamism far exceeds the comparative lethargy that she ascribed to President Biden. As for Trump, she says that…

“The New York Times is claiming that he slowed down and is showing signs of fatigue.”

[Quoting NYT]: ‘Americans see Mr. Trump less than they used to. He has fewer public events on his schedule and he is traveling much less than he did by this point during his first year in office. Although he is taking more foreign trips. He also keeps a shorter public schedule than he used to. Most of his public appearances fall between noon and 5:00 PM on average.’.

“Well, the man is almost 80 but he’s also a machine. I mean, he barely sleeps, he works around the clock and he constantly talks to the press.

It was nice of Boothe to give the Fox News viewers a taste of the article that conducted a deep analysis of Trump’s physical and mental decline. However, her pro-Trump conclusion was hysterical in its portrayal of him as an elderly superhuman who doesn’t require sleep. To the contrary, lack of sleep is not a sign of strength. It is a debilitating condition that diminishes mental acuity, produces hallucinations, and causes anxiety and psychoses. Which explains quite a bit of Trump’s abnormal and dangerous behavior.

Furthermore, if Trump is suffering from insomnia, it would be interesting to know what’s causing it. Some common causes are anxiety, stress, depression, and pharmaceutical medications such as Adderall. Lack of sleep doesn’t improve anyone’s ability to function. There’s a reason that sleep deprivation is often used as a form of torture. Missing these obvious caveats to her compliments, Boothe went on to malign Biden, lying that…

“Meanwhile Biden always slept, worked sometimes, and never talked to the press unless they were asking about ice cream flavors. But some people are still living in opposite world when it comes to these two presidents.”

[Video of Dr. Vin Gupta on the MeidasTouch Network]: ‘President Biden was active on weekends. Especially riding his bike in Rehoboth Beach. No one denies that President Biden, when he had his moments of being 80, 82, whatever it was. In this case the White House is not even willing to even acknowledge the president is showing obvious signs of age-related cognitive decline…He might take trips overseas in Air Force One. That doesn’t substitute for the lack of physical activity…There’s a reason to be worried based on that public performance.’

“Well, Biden also fell off that stationary bike.”

Once again, it was nice of Boothe to give the Fox News viewers a taste of Dr. Gupta’s analysis of the comparative vigor of Trump and Biden. Although she ended it with the lie that Biden fell from a stationary bike. Actually the standard bike that he had been riding fell over after he came to stop.

Boothe’s snarky aside does nothing to refute the substance of Dr. Gupta’s remarks. Also, she edited the full video of Dr. Gupta, leaving out the following diagnosis of Trump…

“It’s clear that there’s age-related cognitive decline…He’s confused a lot. He sometimes mumbles sort of incoherent nonsense when he’s asked a question in the Oval Office…Clearly they’re not getting MRIs just because, because that’s the moment that we live in. There’s a reason to be worried based on his public performance.”

People in Trump’s inner circle were already praising him for not sleeping during his first occupation of the white House, including his chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney, and former GOP House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. But if they are really worried about Trump getting enough sleep, they can rest assured that he is resting plenty during all of the meetings that he has been caught sleeping through.

However, no one should be impressed that Trump doesn’t get sufficient sleep. They should be concerned about how it is degrading his ability to reason and function. Not that Fox News will notice. Which makes one wonder, are they getting enough sleep?

Does Trump’s Racist Pledge to Deport Naturalized American Citizens Include Melania?

Leave it to Donald Trump to grossly exploit a true human tragedy in order to exalt himself and divert attention from his multitude of failures. The latest example stems from the shooting of two National Guard troops in Washington, D.C. by an Afghan refugee.

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

Donald Trump, Melania Trump

Consistent with his inbred bigotry and compulsive self-interest, Trump immediately embraced this news as an opportunity to malign all Afghans, including those who risked their lives to help American soldiers fighting the Taliban. He is predictably blaming all Afghans for a crime committed by one. And he’s doing it because he thinks this display of racism will reverse his collapsing approval ratings.

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

Late Thursday night, while most Americans were winding up their Thanksgiving day festivities, Trump was awake and rage-posting on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. He disgorged an interminably long and tedious comment aimed at disparaging and threatening virtually all migrants in America. And he began with his trademark infantile sarcasm that he thinks is funny…

“A very Happy Thanksgiving salutation to all of our Great American Citizens and Patriots who have been so nice in allowing our Country to be divided, disrupted, carved up, murdered, beaten, mugged, and laughed at, along with certain other foolish countries throughout the World, for being ‘Politically Correct,’ and just plain STUPID, when it comes to Immigration.”

Heartwarming, isn’t it? It’s clear that Trump truly understands the meaning of this holiday and the peace and unity that it represents. But he was just getting started. He continued…

“The official United States Foreign population stands at 53 million people (Census), most of which are on welfare, from failed nations, or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels. […] This refugee burden is the leading cause of social dysfunction in America.”

Trump’s foreign population estimate of 53 million includes naturalized citizens, lawful permanent residents (green card holders), temporary migrants, and unauthorized immigrants. About half of all foreign-born residents are naturalized American citizens. Another 12 million are legal green card holders. That’s about 75% of the total. Trump’s claim that most of them are on welfare and are criminals or mental patients is just outright racism and patently false. And nothing contributes more to the “social dysfunction” in America than the antics of Trump and his MAGA cult.

For some reason, Trump then lashed out at Somali migrants in Minnesota, who had nothing to do with with the shooting in D.C. But he may have just seen it as an opportunity to lob a childish insult at Minnesota governor Tim Walz, who Trump called “seriously retarded,” and at Rep. Ilhan Omar, who he mocked for being “always wrapped in her swaddling hijab, and who probably came into the U.S.A. illegally.” But he still wasn’t done. He closed by saying that…

“I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries to allow the U.S. system to fully recover, terminate all of the millions of Biden illegal admissions, including those signed by Sleepy Joe Biden’s Autopen. […] end all Federal benefits and subsidies to noncitizens of our Country, denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.”

Notice that Trump is only threatening to pause immigration from the third world countries that he has referred to as “shit holes.” He’s fine with white migrants from Europe. What’s more, he makes a bizarre reference to migrants being approved for admission by “Biden’s Autopen.” That’s not how immigration works. Presidents don’t personally sign off on immigration papers. This sounds like more evidence of Trump’s cognitive impairment wherein he is conflating things that are unrelated.

However, the most troubling part of Trump’s rant is his threat to “denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility.” He doesn’t bother to define what he means by “domestic tranquility,” He’s likely talking about stripping citizenship from, and deporting, Americans who he doesn’t like, or are critical of him. And he proposes to halt federal benefits for migrants who remain, even if they are are legally entitled to them.

Trump’s standard for determining whether any migrants should be permitted to stay or be cast out appears to be an ambiguous designation of being “compatible with Western Civilization.” Whatever that means. Consequently, Melania should be worried. Because if she ever falls out of favor with Trump, she fits all of his criteria for having her citizenship revoked and being deported back to Slovenia. Yes, that’s precisely how stupid all of this is.

LATE BREAKING: Trump just posted another comment on Truth Social wherein declares that almost all of President Biden’s executive orders are “hereby terminated,” unless he signed them directly (i.e. without the autopen). Never mind that most of Trump’s executive orders were also signed with an autopen. In the same comment Trump threatens to bring perjury charges against Biden if he disputes Trump’s ludicrous claims. This entire comment has no legal standing. But it will serve nicely as evidence if Trump’s mental acuity and fitness to remain in office is ever challenged via impeachment or invocation of the 25th Amendment. 8647!

Pam Bondi Spends Thanksgiving on Fox News Blaming the D.C. Shooting on President Biden

A couple of families in West Virginia are going to have considerably less to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. They are the families of the two National Guard troops who were tragically shot on Wednesday and are now in critical condition in a District of Columbia hospital, rather than at home for a holiday dinner.

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

Joe Biden, Donald Trump Baby, Fake News

These soldiers should not have been in D.C. at all. They served no practical purpose. They spent their time picking up garbage, standing around bored in front of federal buildings, or resting in parking lots that served as their quarters. Trump deliberately – and illegally – put them in harms way in order to juice his pitifully sagging approval polls.

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

Nevertheless, the soldiers performed their duties faithfully before suffering the consequences resulting from Trump’s ignorance and ego. And on the day following the tragedy, Trump dispatched his Cabinet cronies to make excuses for him and to shift the blame for his failures unto others. So his Attorney Genuflect, Pam Bondi, spent her Thanksgiving morning disseminating propaganda on Fox News…

Bondi: We have looked at failed policies of Biden, from autopenning violent felons being taken off death row, to letting people into our country without proper vetting after the entire Afghanistan debacle.

Likewise, Trump’s profoundly unqualified FBI Director, Kash Patel, was covered by Fox News at a pointless press conference where he didn’t deliver a single salient piece of information…

Reporter: Can you clarify the timeline of when the suspect was granted asylum?
Patel: I believe Kristi Noem put that out, and that’s a DHS matter and I’ll refer it to them.

REPORTER: Can you clarify the timeline of when the suspect was granted asylum?KASH PATEL: I believe Kristi Noem put that out, and that's a DHS matter and I'll refer it to them

Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-11-27T14:47:39.696Z

The remarks of both of these Trump regime mouthpieces failed to enlighten the public about anything relevant to the crime or its investigation. To the contrary, they dodged any honest commentary, and instead disgorged partisan finger-pointing or diversions.

Bondi’s remarks were littered with lies. She didn’t bother to provide any evidence that Biden had pardoned violent felons, or that he did so with an autopen. Although her allegation is wildly hypocritical considering that Trump did pardon hundreds of violent January 6th rioters, including cop beaters.

What’s more, Bondi’s attempt to associate the D.C. suspect with Biden letting unvetted people into the country was flagrantly false. In fact, as reported by ABC News, the suspect “applied for asylum in 2024 and was granted asylum in April 2025, under the Trump administration.” [And that] “The suspect previously worked with the U.S. government, including the CIA, as a member of a partner force in Kandahar.” That’s according to Trump’s CIA Director John Ratcliffe. Also, what Bondi refers to as the “Afghanistan debacle” was actually negotiated and agreed to by Trump and the Taliban.

As for Patel, he blatantly avoided responding the question, that he surely knew the answer to, because he was afraid of triggering a tantrum from Trump, who is already reportedly considering firing him.

for his part, Trump issued his own message in response to the shooting. And true to form, it was self-serving slop that was intended solely to deceive, shift blame, and exalt himself…

Leave it to Trump to exploit & politicize the tragic murder of 2 National Guard soldiers who he put in harms way for no reason.He taints their memory with bigotry toward all Afghans and Somalis (who had nothing do with it) in America. And falsely blames Biden. (See next comment)

News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-11-27T11:02:57.467Z

The foregoing notwithstanding, here’s hoping for a speedy recovery for the National Guard troops, and a happy Thanksgiving for everyone.

Trump Blasts the Former Presidents Who ‘Strangled’ Middle East Peace – Which Includes Himself

There are good reasons to be grateful today for the freedom of the 20 remaining living hostages taken by Hamas two years ago. The October 7 slaughter that Hamas conducted at a music festival in Israel was unthinkably repugnant. And the hostage taking was cruel and unforgivable.

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

Donald Trump

While it may be a joyous day for the freed hostages and their families, we cannot forget the horror of the past that resulted in the deaths of so many innocent people. And that includes the tens of thousands of Palestinians is Gaza who were not combatants and had no part in the atrocities of Hamas.

On this day we are thankful that some of the victims have been returned. But we must also remain committed to preventing any such event from occurring in the future. And with regard to that, we must recognize that Donald Trump is not helping matters. He is not a hero or a peace activist. To the contrary, he has exacerbated the problem with his vile rhetoric and his exploitation of events to glorify himself.

SEE THIS: By Trump’s Deranged Logic the U.S. Should Takeover Israel and Relocate All of its Residents

For instance, in the address he gave before the Israeli Knesset, Trump frequently wandered off into shameless praising of himself for making America “the hottest country anywhere in the world.” Which has nothing to do with the situation in the Middle East. But even worse, he sought to heap all the credit on the “peace” deal onto himself, saying that…

“What we’re doing now, it could’ve happened a long time ago, but it was strangled and set back almost irretrievably by the administrations of Barack Obama and then Joe Biden. There was a hatred toward Israel.”

Trump: "What we're doing now, it could've happened a long time ago, but it was strangled and set back almost irretrievably by the administrations of Barack Obama and then Joe Biden. There was a hatred toward Israel."

Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-10-13T12:11:09.315Z

REALLY? In Trump’s revisionist history, only former presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden were responsible for failing to achieve peace in the Middle East. However, he left out another president who served in between those two. His name was Donald Trump. So why didn’t Trump get a peace deal four years ago if it was so easy? Was it because he has a “hatred toward Israel”?

It should also be noted that the deal Trump claims credit for now was fundamentally the same as one that Biden had proposed in May of 2024. It contained the same three phases, hostage releases, and plans for governing of Gaza. Israeli president Benjamin Netanyahu nixed that deal under pressure from his far-right legislators. He may also have had an incentive to prevent Biden from getting any credit, in order to help Trump win the 2024 election, and then agree to essentially the same plan, but attaching Trump’s name to it.

So while we rejoice in the good news about the freed Israelis who have suffered for so long, let’s also keep in mind that the sort of ignorance, dishonesty, hostility, and incompetence, that is part and parcel of the character of Trump, has caused more suffering than it has resolved. And if we are to progress as a nation, and a leader in the world community, we must not allow villains like Trump to come to power just so they can abuse it.

Trump Derangement Surfaces in Two Truth Social Posts that Are Utterly Insane (More than Usual)

Anyone who has been paying attention is well aware of the cognitive dysfunction of Donald Trump. His incoherent responses to simple questions, and the rambling oratories such as those he delivered at the United Nations and the Navy anniversary event, would be enough to commit an ordinary person to an institution.

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

Donald Trump, Padded Cell

Trump manages to turn every public comment or address into a pleading for adoration, a blathering expression of victimhood, or a vicious attack on his many perceived enemies. He spent the week prior to the announcement of the Nobel Peace Prize lobbying for himself to receive the honor. Never mind that the reasons against it are too numerous to list in full.

SEE THIS: Fox News Lunacy: There’s ‘Universal Agreement’ on this Show for Trump to Get a Nobel Peace Prize

On Sunday morning Trump took to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, to provide additional proof (as if it were necessary) of his rapidly declining mental acuity. They were the sort of outbursts that one might expect to come from a man on a street corner shouting at cars about the end of the world. Trump began with a pre-dawn diatribe lashing out at…well, as it turns out, himself:

“THE BIDEN FBI PLACED 274 AGENTS INTO THE CROWD ON JANUARY 6. If this is so, which it is, a lot of very good people will be owed big apologies. What a SCAM – DO SOMETHING!!! President DJT”

The first problem with that rant is that on January 6, 2021, Trump was still president. Joe Biden was not inaugurated until January 20. So it was Trump’s FBI, including the Bureau’s director, Christopher Wray, whom he appointed three and half years prior, that would have placed any agents in the crowd of insurrectionists.

What’s more, the story that Trump is telling has already been debunked by his own current FBI director, Kash Patel. Trump raised this issue last month after reading a story about it in the ultra-rightist rag, “The Blaze.” He alleged that the FBI agents were “acting as Agitators and Insurrectionists.” But that was after Patel had told Fox News that “While the agents were on hand, they were sent in after the riot had begun to try to control the unruly crowd.”

MORE HERE: Trump’s Lies About FBI Provocateurs on January 6th are Debunked by His Own FBI Chief Kash Patel

If it isn’t bad enough that Trump has apparently forgotten when he was president, his other comment on Sunday morning exposed another fallacious framing of reality. He raged that

“The Ukraine Impeachment (of me!) Scam was a far bigger Illegal Hoax than Watergate. I sincerely hope the necessary authorities, including CONGRESS, are looking into this! Adam ‘Schiffty’ Schiff was sooo dishonest and corrupt. So many laws, and protocols, were violated, and just plain broken!!! President DJT”

REALLY? Trump is now asserting that Watergate – the well documented scandal that led to the resignation of Richard Nixon, and the conviction of 48 of his White House staffers, including his Chief of Staff and Attorney General – was an “illegal Hoax.” That’s a new angle for Trump. Although he might want to reconsider associating his own impeachable offenses with Watergate. Because if Watergate was not a hoax, which it wasn’t, then neither is Trump’s impeachment.

Trump went on to make another wholly unfounded accusation against Sen. Adam Schiff. As in the past, Trump neglects to offer any evidence of the dishonesty or corruption that he alleges. However, Sen. Schiff was one of three persons on Trump’s enemies list that he recently ordered his Attorney Genuflect, Pam Bondi, to prosecute. And two of them, New York Attorney General Letitia James and former FBI director James Comey, have been indicted. So is Sen. Schiff next?

At any other time in America’s history, the behavior that Trump exhibits would result in impeachment or invocation of the Constitution’s 25th Amendment to remove him from office. He would already have been committed to an institution. The only question would be whether that would be a penal or mental institution. Perhaps the prison’s mental ward would be the best option.

Fox News Lunacy: There’s ‘Universal Agreement’ on this Show for Trump to Get a Nobel Peace Prize

For as long as Donald Trump has been a political figure, he has conducted a shameless campaign for himself to be honored with a Nobel Peace Prize. He may be the first person to ever advocate on his own behalf for the award, and certainly the first American president to do so.

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

Donald Trump

The obsession that Trump has for getting the prize is firmly rooted in the malignant narcissism that feeds so much of his noticeably diseased personality disorders. It’s what drives his relentless fixation on crowd size, television ratings, and public opinion polling. He must always be the center of attention and be seen as the unchallenged victor of any contest, including elections that he clearly lost. So you know this is gonna burst a vein…

SEE THIS: Jimmy Kimmel Crushes Trump in Poll Despite Having No Talent or Ratings (According to Trump)

The Trump campaign for the peace prize has been faithfully carried out by his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News. And on Thursday Fox Business host, Stuart Varney, revealed just how devoted the network is to Trump’s honorarium ambitions. During an interview with Sen. Joni Ernst (IA-MAGA), Varney prefaced a question with a disclosure of the network’s position of the subject…

Varney: There’s virtually universal agreement on this program that the president should get the Nobel Peace Prize. After all, if Obama can get one for doing very little, surely President Trump can get one for bringing peace.
Ernst: Exactly. President Trump is the president of peace.

VARNEY: There's virtually universal agreement on this program that the president should get the Nobel Peace Prize. After all, if Obama can get one for doing very little, surely President Trump can get one for bringing peace.JONI ERNST: Exactly. President Trump is the president of peace.

Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-10-09T15:24:56.350Z

Exactly! And what president has ever accumulated a record that was more deserving than Trump? After all, he has forcefully threatened virtually every American ally with both military and economic punishment if they failed to obey his demands. And he has racked up a resume that includes – but is not limited to – the following uber-peaceful accomplishments…

  • He abandoned Ukraine to his pal Vladimir Putin in Russia.
  • He blows up boats in the Caribbean that may be innocent fishermen.
  • He has been convicted of 34 felonies.
  • He is an adjudicated rapist.
  • He has proposed invading and annexing other sovereign nations (Greenland, Panama, Canada).
  • He is deploying military troops to American cities that he calls “war zones,” and threatens to arrest their elected representatives.
  • He led a deadly insurrection on January 6, 2021, in an effort to undermine democracy.

Has there ever been a more deserving candidate for a Nobel Peace Prize? Even the issue that Varney and others in the MAGA media are currently discussing is a dubious justification for Trump to be honored. They are saying that his efforts to secure a peace deal between Israel and Hamas should merit his getting the award.

However, Trump’s peace plan for Gaza is far from complete. What’s more, it is fundamentally the same as one proposed by President Biden in May of 2024. That one was resisted by Israeli president Benjamin Netanyahu, who was under pressure from his far-right legislators to reject it. He also may have had an incentive to prevent Biden from achieving peace, in order to boost Trump’s electoral prospects and then agree to the same plan during Trump’s term. Which appears to be what has happened.

It is also difficult to ignore the fact that Trump has been an avid supporter of Netanyahu, and backed him to do whatever he wanted to do in Gaza. Which has led to the deaths of more than 68,000 Palestinians to date. That is hardly cause to grant an award for peace.

The support by Fox News for Trump to get the peace prize is purely political and nonsensical. On a previous program they said Trump was worthy simply because he berated Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in an Oval Office meeting. The behavior of Trump and vice-president Vance was atrocious. But Fox and Friends co-host, Rachel Campos-Duffy, who happens to be married to Trump’s Transportation Secretary, Sean Duffy, gushed that “If he doesn’t get the Nobel Peace Prize after this, that thing means nothing.” And as usual, the opposite of that is the truth. If Trump does get the prize, it means less than nothing.

UPDATE I: On this day Trump advanced his Nobel campaign by posting four “news” articles, advocating for him to get the Peace Prize, from Fox News, Washington Post, Breitbart, and Newsmax, whose laughably kiss-ass headline was “Trump Shouldn’t Just Win the Nobel Prize, It Should Be Renamed After Him.”

UPDATE II: IS TRUMP GONNA CRY?
Nobel Peace Prize awarded to Venezuela’s María Corina Machado.

This part of the Prize Committee’s statement seems important: “When authoritarians seize power, it is crucial to recognize courageous defenders of freedom who rise and resist.”

SRSLY? Trump is Still Obsessed with His 2020 Election Loss and is Demanding a Special Prosecutor

It has been nearly five years since Joe Biden committed the unspeakably humiliating act against Donald Trump by decisively beating him in the election of 2020. What was he thinking? That tragic episode in Trump’s life has had an enduring impact on his mental health and his ability to cope with reality.

Donald Trump

A lot has happened since then. Most notably, there were four years of relief from the daily tumult and chaos that characterized Trump’s incoherent style of governing. Much of the damage he caused was effectively undone, and the people’s business was attended to in a manner that advanced their interests and welfare.

However, that relief would be short lived as, somehow, Trump managed to get himself reelected in 2024 to resume his deconstruction of American democracy. Which isn’t going very well for him…

Something that has not changed is that the deranged anxieties that consume Trump continue to roil his fragile emotional state. Despite the fact that there are numerous domestic and international crises in progress – Iran, Gaza, Ukraine, recession, civil unrest, and more – Trump is busy massaging his acute narcissism and struggling to pacify his bruised ego over the 2020 defeat that he clings to obsessively.

On Friday morning he posted a comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, that exposed just how desperately he is controlled by his compulsion to not be perceived as the loser he is. He lashed out at…

Sleepy, Crooked Joe Biden, a man who lost the 2020 Presidential Election by a ‘LANDSLIDE!’ Biden was grossly incompetent, and the 2020 election was a total FRAUD! The evidence is MASSIVE and OVERWHELMING. A Special Prosecutor must be appointed. This cannot be allowed to happen again in the United States of America! Let the work begin! What this Crooked man, and his CORRUPT CRONIES, have done to our Country in 4 years, is grossly indescribable! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

It hardly needs to be reiterated that Trump obviously did not win “by a LANDSLIDE,” or at all, in 2020. Neither do we need to dwell on his rants about Biden’s competence, when he has a record of historic achievement. And if Trump had any “MASSIVE and OVERWHELMING” evidence of the “total fraud” he alleges, why hasn’t he produced any of it in court, or anywhere else?

Trump’s demand that a special prosecutor be assigned to this non-existent scandal is preposterous. Particularly when there is no legal or even rational basis for it. What’s more, it is unethical for a president to make such a demand directing his Justice Department to persecute a political foe. And it is also notable that Trump has previously argued that special counsels are unconstitutional. But that apparently only applies to those investigating him.

This is what an authoritarian ruler would do to clamp down on his opponents. Which is precisely the problem with Trump. He has long been envious of the kind of power wielded by his idols, Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Kim Jong Un. And when he refers to the behavior of a “Crooked man, and his CORRUPT CRONIES” as being “grossly indescribable,” it is clear that he is employing projection and is actually referring to himself. With Trump, every accusation is a confession.

Trump Threatens to Cancel Musk’s Government Contracts Because He ‘Just Went Crazy’

The intensifying feud between Donald Trump and his billionaire benefactor, Elon Musk, is providing some of the best soap opera melodrama that America has seen in decades. And coming just a few days after they had an affectionate farewell in the Oval Office just makes it all the more enticing as an entertainment event.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk

It didn’t take long for the bombs to fly across the crybabies battlefield. It was Musk who threw the first flurry of explosives on Wednesday when he lambasted Trump and his “Big Ugly Bill” that he’s currently pushing through Congress. Musk didn’t mince words, calling it a “disgusting abomination,” due to its multi-trillion dollar increase of the national debt.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Favorite Fox News Flunkies FREAK OUT Over the ‘Big Bogus Bill’ Breaking Up Trump and Musk

On Thursday morning Trump fired back with a couple of comments posted to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. and was pretty direct as well, saying that

“Elon was ‘wearing thin,’ I asked him to leave, I took away his EV Mandate that forced everyone to buy Electric Cars that nobody else wanted (that he knew for months I was going to do!), and he just went CRAZY!”

There’s a lot of derp stuffed into that brief passage. First of all, Trump did not ask Musk to leave. Musk’s tenure as a temporary “special government employee” was expired. And at the farewell ceremony, Trump gave Musk a golden key to the White House and said that Musk wasn’t really leaving.

As for Musk’s electric cars that nobody wants, Trump actually bought one himself in a widely publicized, staged photo-op in front of the White House. Yet Trump was still “disappointed” by Musk’s betrayal which led to this historic first…

The feud between Trump and Musk is escalating with two notable comments that mark what may be the first time that either of them has told the truth…1?? Trump accuses Musk of being a self-serving ingrate (TRUE)2?? Musk accuses Trump of being a liar (TRUE)

News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-06-05T16:53:35.761Z

Trump followed that up with a second post on Truth Social saying that

“The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon’s Governmental Subsidies and Contracts. I was always surprised that Biden didn’t do it!”

Fantastic! That would be the best thing to come out of this bellicose brouhaha. Musk has built his fortune on government subsidies from the U.S., as well as China and other countries. If Trump were to follow through on this threat it would indeed save American taxpayers billions of dollars. Unfortunately, Trump has a terrible record of following through on anything. Hence his new nickname, TACO Trump (Trump Always Chickens Out).

Meanwhile, Trump is demonstrating some the best justifications for removing him from office via the 25th Amendment. His cognitive decline has sunk to depths previously thought unimaginable. For instance, Thursday morning he made a preposterous comment about the price of groceries…

Trump says "Eggs have come down 400%"?COOL! That means that you could could walk into the store, fill your shopping cart with eggs, and walk out with hundreds of dollars and the eggs.And he talks about President Biden's mental acuity?

News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-06-05T17:47:54.999Z

And Trump also displayed his shockingly ignorant grasp of history in a press avail with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz…

Trump has no idea what D-Day was. Then again, he has no idea about anything other than what idiocy creeps into his mush-filled brain.Trump is utterly incapable of running this country. Or running a lemonade stand. He'll bankrupt it like he did his own businesses 4 times.

News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-06-05T17:39:09.119Z

And in the midst of this, and so many other examples of Trump’s failing mental acuity, Trump is calling for an investigation of President Biden. As reported by ABC News

“Trump ordered Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate whether former President Joe Biden’s administration sought to conspire to cover up his mental state while in office.”

Never mind that Trump even admits that he has no evidence of his allegations. What he has is his bizarre declaration that he has “uncovered the human mind” and had a debate with it.

UH-OH: Trump has "uncovered the human mind."Now we're really f*cked!

News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-06-05T19:04:59.482Z

So much for the sustainability of life on Earth.

UPDATE: The feud is going scorched earth. Now Musk has accused Trump of being “in the Epstein files” and has endorsed his impeachment.

UH-OH… Now Musk has accused Trump of being "in the Epstein files" and has endorsed his impeachment.
