Trump and His Propaganda Secretary Have No Idea What the State of the Union Address Is For

On Tuesday night Donald Trump will be straying from his customary schedule of golfing, dining at the Mar-a-Lago buffet, and rage-watching Fox News, to deliver his State of the Union address (SOTU) before a joint session of Congress. It’s going to be a strain on him physically and mentally, but he’ll soldier through, if only to bask in the adoration of his MAGA GOP disciples.

Donald Trump, Wah

The State of the Union is a constitutionally mandated duty of any president. Although it doesn’t have to be delivered live or in a speech, it has become a traditional affair since first being broadcast on television live in primetime by Lyndon B. Johnson in 1965. Now 60 years later, Trump is planning to diminish its significance further with the help of his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News.

SEE THIS: Fox News is TERRIFIED of How Awful Trump is Doing Prior to His State of the Union Lie Fest

The SOTU is supposed to be a dissertation on the current welfare of the nation. Presidents are expected to give an honest appraisal of the country’s condition on matters of importance both domestically and internationally. However, Trump will have difficulty with that objective considering that it requires being honest, something that he is congenitally incapable of.

The pre-speech comments by Trump reveal that he actually has no idea what the SOTU is intended for. He thinks that it’s just another platform for him to spew self-serving lies to exalt himself and malign his political foes. He deliberately lied to reporters on Monday saying that…

“We have the greatest economy we’ve ever had. We have the most activity we’ve ever had. I’m making a speech tomorrow night, and you’ll be hearing me say that. It’s going to be a long speech because we have so much to talk about.”

So Trump has no intention of telling the truth about the State of the Union. He is promising instead to ramble on interminably about how magnificent he is, and all of the wonderful, albeit imaginary, things that he’s done. Never mind that reality vehemently contradicts him. The country is still suffering from high inflation that is mainly due to his idiotic tariffs. His ICE agents are terrorizing American citizens along with law-abiding immigrants. We are threatening war against foreign nations without any rational cause. All of which has contributed to his historically abysmal approval ratings.

By pontificating on what he believes are his glorious accomplishments, Trump is actually just reminding everyone about what a pitiful failure he is. The people know how much their groceries cost, and how much they are paying for other necessities, including housing and healthcare. No amount of gaslighting by Trump will persuade any but his most brainwashed cult devotees that we are living in a Trumpian utopia.

Nevertheless, the Trump regime is dead set on trying to convince the American people that everything is just hunky dory. Which is why Trump’s Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, was out Tuesday morning previewing the lies that Trump plans to disseminate in his speech tonight.

“He’ll be sharing these stories again of everyday Americans who are directly benefiting from his policies, and making a few new policy announcements as well as to continue tackling the affordability crisis that Joe Biden created one year ago, And the president will be talking about the positive metrics we have seen and moving forward towards making life again more affordable and prosperous for all Americans.”

Karoline Leavitt: "The president will be making a few new policy announcements to continue tackling the affordability crisis that Joe Biden created one year ago." (Joe Biden was no longer president one year ago.)

Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-02-24T13:10:58.592Z

Just like Trump, Leavitt is squarely focused on delivering a speech that celebrates Trump and his fantasies of fabulousness. She even slips in a slam on President Biden, who could not have created an affordability crisis a year ago because he was not president then. Also, didn’t Trump say that the whole “affordability” thing was a hoax?

The SOTU promises to be another lengthy harangue by Trump that wouldn’t pass for plausible fiction. However, it may offer some drama. While he has said that he’s inviting MAGA-tized guests like Erika Kirk (Charlie’s widow), Democrats will be attending with some Epstein/Trump survivors, and victims of his ICE thugs. So will have to face some of those who he hurt the most.

While Trump will be pitching a preposterously rosy scenario, it’s safe to assume that he won’t be mentioning at all some of the critical issues that the American people really care about. Such as the current government shutdown, his inflationary tariffs, his loss at the Supreme Court, his impending war with Iran, his obstructing the release of the Trump-Epstein files, or so many other matters that he’s anxious to suppress because they reflect negatively (i.e. realistically) on him.

If Trump thinks that this address is going to reverse his sinking popularity, he’s going to be sorely disappointed. And that disappointment will likely trigger even more raving madness from Trump. So fasten your seats belts. It’s gonna be a bumpy ride. And in the meantime, watch the People’s State of the Union instead.

Karoline Leavitt Admits that Trump Was Fooled by Putin’s Promise to Suspend Bombing of Ukraine

Before Donald Trump was even inaugurated for his second occupation of the White House, he disseminated deliberate deceptions about how he would resolve Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine. During his campaign he promised that he would end the war with a single phone call to his pall Vladimir Putin on day one. That was 379 days ago.

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

Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin

Needless to say, the war is still raging on with Russia committing new war crimes virtually every day. Meanwhile, Trump and his Senior Apologists continue to deny that he has any responsibility for the ongoing massacres perpetrated by Putin, despite his absurd insistence that none of it would have happened were he in office when it started.

SEE THIS: Trump Destroys His Own Claim that Russia Wouldn’t Have Invaded Ukraine if He Were President

Trump’s absolution is being regurgitated again by his Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt. She was asked about a recent claim by Trump that he spoke with Putin and asked him to suspend his bombing raids during the winter storms that have battered the region. Trump claimed that…

“I personally asked President Putin not to fire into Kyiv and the various towns for a week and he agreed to do that, and I have to tell you it was very nice.”

As usual, Trump’s account has a measure of believability that rests on how well known Putin is for being “very nice.” On Tuesday morning Leavitt was asked about this almost certainly imaginary conversation between Trump and Putin, and the fact that Putin continues his slaughter of innocent Ukrainians. She replied with an impressively straight face to the question…

Reporter: Trump said Putin agreed to halt attacking Ukraine because of the cold weather. But today we’ve seen Russia launching some of the heaviest attacks this month. What’s your reaction?
Leavitt: I spoke with the president about it this morning and his reaction was unfortunately unsurprised. These are two countries who have been engaged in a very brutal war for several years. A war that would have never started if the president were still in office. It started because of the weakness and incompetence of the previous President, Joe Biden.

Q: Trump said Putin agreed to halt attacking Ukraine bc of the cold, but today we're seen Russia launching heavy attacks. What's your reaction?LEAVITT: I spoke with the president and his reaction was unfortunately unsurprised. These are two countries that have been engaged in a very brutal war.

Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-02-03T18:30:11.566Z

REALLY? Leavitt describes Trump as “unfortunately unsurprised.” In other words, Trump had accepted Putin’s promise to refrain from new attacks, and even complimented him for it. But afterward Leavitt says that he wasn’t surprised by Putin’s betrayal? Why would Trump brag about getting Putin’s agreement if he didn’t believe him in the first place?

Leavitt went on to parrot Trump’s frequent assertion that Putin would never have started the war if Trump were president at the time. But that is transparently preposterous. Trump’s claim that his presence alone would have prevented Russia from invading Ukraine implies that Putin would be either too afraid of Trump to take such aggressive action, or that Putin so admired Trump that his influence would be irresistible.

However, it’s clear now that neither of those scenarios have an iota of truth to them. If Putin won’t listen to Trump now when he’s asking him to halt bombing for the duration of the storm, it’s safe to assume that he wouldn’t have listened when he was first plotting to invade. What is unarguably obvious is that Trump has no leverage with Putin whatsoever.

Consequently, the efforts by Leavitt and Trump to blame Biden for Putin’s invasion of Ukraine is misdirected. In reality it is the weakness and incompetence of Trump that allows this war to persist. Even after Trump issued direct threats to Putin giving him two weeks to agree to a cease fire – five months ago.

Trump’s Press Secretary Flagrantly Lies That Trump Didn’t Say Iceland When He Meant Greenland

The imperative to distort what the world plainly sees and hears with regard to Donald Trump has been a constant feature of the Trump Era. He and his cronies all too frequently find it necessary to provide explanations and/or excuses for his obvious mental glitches that are utterly devoid of any resemblance to reality.

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

Donald Trump and Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt

When a national “leader” is so delusional that he can’t distinguish fact from fiction, it presents a dangerous set of circumstances that could result in atrocities and behavior that has the potential to undermine the stability of a nation that relies on a coherent vision to preserve democracy and freedom.

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

On Trump’s one year anniversary of his second occupation of the White House, he is exhibiting the sort of deranged conduct that could unravel America’s political and social infrastructure. That conduct is seen in ways big and small. The big examples include his attacks on foreign countries like Venezuela, his imposition of inflationary tariffs, and his military invasions of American cities.

An example of conduct on a smaller, but still significant scale, occurred Wednesday when he delivered a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. During his address Trump referred several times to Iceland, when it was clear that he meant Greenland. It’s a mistake that would have consumed the national media for days or weeks if President Biden had done it, but is hardly making a ripple from the press that seems to accept Trump’s cognitive impairment as normal and acceptable.

Making matters worse is how Trump’s handlers try desperately to whitewash his blunders. And on this occasion his Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, was wound up and ready to go. News Nation reporter Libbey Dean, noted that Trump “appeared to mix up Greenland and Iceland around three times.” In response Leavitt flatly denied that it happened, saying that…

“No he didn’t, Libby (sic). His written remarks referred to Greenland as a ‘piece of ice’ because that’s what it is.”

For the record, here is what Trump said along with the video of Trump saying precisely what Leavitt insists that he didn’t say…

“They’re not there for us on Iceland, that I can tell you. I mean, our stock market took the first dip yesterday because of Iceland. So Iceland’s already costs a lot of money.”

Trump is now confusing Greenland and Iceland: "They're not there for us on Iceland, that I can tell you. Our stock market took the first dip yesterday because of Iceland. So Iceland has already cost us a lot of money."

Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-01-21T14:20:29.058Z

Leavitt’s explanation doesn’t make any sense at all. It doesn’t matter what was in the written transcript. No one is criticizing that. What matters is what Trump said. And he said “Iceland.” To which Leavitt didn’t mince words in Trump’s defense saying “No, he didn’t.” She is the walking, squawking embodiment of George Orwell’s admonition in “1984,” “The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

What’s more, Leavitt’s excuse that Trump had referred to Greenland in writing as “a piece of ice” has no bearing on Trump changing the name of the country to Iceland – three times – when delivering the speech. Trump also called Greenland “a piece of land.” Does that mean it would have been okay to call the country Landland?

Trump did indeed refer to Greenland several times as “a piece of ice,” but in explicitly derogatory terms. For example he said “Who the hell wants to defend a license agreement or a lease, which is a large piece of ice in the middle of the ocean”? Followed inexplicably by “What I’m asking for is a piece of ice.” But those references cannot coherently lead to referring to the Greenland as Iceland, which is a name already in use by another nearby and totally separate country.

Trump’s Davos speech was jam-packed with bullpucky on a variety of topics. But his mentions of Iceland/Greenland stood out for their sheer lunacy. And it’s notable that shortly after his speech Trump posted a comment to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, wherein he announced that an agreement had been reached regarding the fate of Greenland. And true to form, it was a tediously long and bizarre declaration that the U.S. and NATO had agreed to a relationship with Greenland that is, well, exactly what it has been all along. So all of the turmoil that Trump had put everyone through was, as usual, utterly pointless.

This is Trump's long, rambling attempt to save face. It says essentially that the U.S. and NATO have agreed to do exactly what they've been doing all along.In other words…T-rumpA -lwaysC-hickensO-ut!

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

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

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

King Donald Trump in the Oval Office.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In the same interview with Reuters Trump…

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

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

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

Trump’s Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, Celebrates Trump’s Approval Ratings – That SUCK!

The trials and tribulations of Donald Trump continue to gnaw at him and his MAGA movement mavens as his policies continue to fail and cause grievous harm to the American people. Not surprisingly, his approval ratings are scraping the bare bottom at depths that are – as he might describe it – 200, 500, 1,200% lower than anything that has ever been seen before.

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

Donald Trump and Karoline Leavitt

In the midst of Trump’s miserable showing in the polls, his Press/Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, is spinning as fast as she can to try to present a palatable impression of her Dear Leader’s position in the political hellscape of his own making. But so far, it doesn’t seem to be doing any good.

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

On Saturday morning Leavitt posted a comment on Twitter/X that was likely intended to raise the spirits of he boss. And he really needs it, considering the pitiful performances he has been giving lately.

A primetime television address showed Trump barking like a rabid hound at a national TV audience to berate them for not adoring him enough. And at a follow up rally in North Carolina he appeared to be on heavy sedatives as he babbled incoherently about everything from his repeated cognitive tests (that generally are not repeated unless there’s a problem), to Melania’s “perfect” panties. Leavitt’s comment gushed that…

“President Donald Trump’s approval rating rose to 50 percent in a new RMG Research poll, marking his strongest showing by the pollster in more than a month.”

WOW! Trump’s approval rocketed up to less than a clear majority by RMG Research (Rasmussen), a notoriously biased, right-wing pollster. How proud he must be. Certainly Leavitt is thrilled by this achievement. So thrilled that she forgot to post some of the other findings in the same Newsweek article to which she linked. Such as that…

“…the poll found more respondents strongly disapprove of Trump than strongly approve, with 38 percent saying they strongly disapprove and 27 percent saying they strongly approve.”

For the record, here are some other recent surveys of Trump’s sagging popularity…

SO SAD! Propaganda Secretary Karoline Leavitt has to pump up Trump's ego with pathetically biased polls that aren't even very good for him.And every other poll is even worse.

News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-12-20T21:09:51.934Z

This is the current state of Trumpian affairs that Leavitt is so overjoyed about. Needless to say, it’s a sad exhibition of failure by a felonious, ignoramous and pathological liar who whose inability to govern is painfully obvious. But that “pain” (especially for the people) notwithstanding, Trump’s ego must be constantly massaged, and it’s the unpleasant duty of Trump-fluffers like Leavitt to do the dirty work. You might almost feel sorry for her. Almost.

Trump Mouthpiece Whines that the Epstein Story Gets More Press than Trump ‘Winning’ the Shutdown

This week has seen a couple of significant stories competing for the attention of the media. One of them is the end of the longest government shutdown in United States history, which broke the record set by Donald Trump in his first occupation of the White House. The other story is the Jeffrey Epstein emails that implicate Trump in his pedophilia activities.

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

Donald Trump

Both of those are important stories to keep the public informed about the state of the government and the affairs (no pun intended) of the president. However, one of them is weighed down by the dull details of economics, while the other is bursting with the excitement of scandal and melodrama. So take a guess. Which one is the media most anxious to cover? And subsequently, which one is the Trump regime most worried about?

SEE THIS: Trump’s Press Flack, Karoline Leavitt, is Spinning Furiously to Cover Up His Epstein Ties

That’s right. Trump has been working feverishly to suppress any media mentions of the Epstein story. He is blasting the press for promoting what he calls a “hoax” (as usual). And he is pressuring his MAGA minions in Congress to deep six the issue. Meanwhile, he is hardly talking about the shutdown at all. As of this writing, he hasn’t posted a single comment on it in more than 24 hours on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social. But not to worry. His Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, is on the job. She tweeted Tuesday morning that…

“If not for the Jeffrey Epstein story, CNN would be forced to talk about how Chuck Schumer and the Democrats got shellacked by President Trump and Republicans in the government shutdown fight. It’s clear this is another Democrat + Mainstream Media hoax.”

See? The Epstein story is just another hoax that is being spun by the fake news. And if Epstein’s emails, that tell of Trump having spent hours with an Epstein victim in Epstein’s home, weren’t revealed, we would all be “forced” to talk about Trump’s magnificence at “shellacking” the Democrats.

The problem with Leavitt’s argument, besides her callous dismissal of the gross and potentially illegal behavior of Trump, is that there was no “shellacking” of Democrats to brag about. To the contrary, Democrats crushed Trump and his MAGA Republicans by raising the issue of healthcare to the top of the news cycle.

Democrats also succeeded in attributing the blame for the shutdown – and all of the harm it has caused for the American people – to Trump and the GOP in Congress. They also insured that a vote will be held to hold the GOP accountable for the skyrocketing healthcare insurance premiums. They also secured funding for SNAP for a full year.

To be sure, there are problems with the agreement to open the government, but they pale in comparisons to the gains, and they will be brought up again in two months when this Continuing Resolution expires.

The bottom line is that compassionate Democrats compromised in order to get SNAP funding for children, seniors, and others flowing. While simultaneously putting the cruelty of Trump and the Republicans on display. And the evidence of that was shown in the latest polls that have Trump underwater on every major issue, particularly the economy and the Epstein files…

TRUMP IS TOAST!CNN's Harry Enten: "Trump is 39 points below water on the Epstein case. […] Less than half of Republicans are buying it."Also, Trump is losing BIGLY on every one of these other issues. How can his MAGA Republicans continue to back him?

News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-11-13T18:00:13.739Z

If these numbers hold – or more likely worsen – for the MAGA movement, there will be a massive blue tsunami next November. And while Democrats get most of the credit for that, Republicans can take some pride in knowing that they were at least partially responsible for sinking their own ship.

Trump’s Press Flack, Karoline Leavitt, is Spinning Furiously to Cover Up His Epstein Ties

Donald Trump and his MAGA Minions have been pulling out all the stops to protect him, and any other adjacent pedophiles, from the revelations that are lurking in the “Justice” Department’s files of child sex trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein. Their determination to keep those files secret belie their claims that they would prove Trump’s innocence. If that were true, they would have released them long ago.

Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein

On Wednesday a new batch of Epstein’s emails were made public by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee. They revealed more about how deeply Epstein and Trump were connected. So naturally, Trump Propaganda Secretary, Karoline had to make an appearance in the White House Press Briefing Room to lie about the emails and Trump’s frequent mentions in them. It’s what she has been been doing – very badly – for months…

SEE THIS: Trump’s Press Secretary, in a Rambling Defense, Fails to Say Trump is Not in the Epstein Files

Among the disclosures about Trump in the emails was Epstein’s statement that one of his victims “spent hours at my house with him [Trump],” and that “Of course he knew about the girls.” At the press briefing Leavitt was asked about the emails by CBS News Senior White House Correspondent, Weijia Jiang.

Jiang: Separate from why you believe these emails were made public, can you address their substance? Did the president ever spend hours at Epstein’s house with a victim?
Leavitt: These emails prove absolutely nothing other than the fact that President Trump did nothing wrong. And what President Trump has always said is that he was from Palm Beach and so was Jeffrey Epstein. Jeffrey Epstein was a member at Mar a Lago until President Trump kicked him out because Jeffrey Epstein was a pedophile and he was a creep.

JIANG: Did the president ever spend hours at Epstein's house with a victim?LEAVITT: These emails prove absolutely nothing, other than the fact that President Trump did nothing wrong

Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-11-12T18:42:41.662Z

Notice that Leavitt conspicuously didn’t answer the question regarding Trump spending hours with the victim at Epstein’s home. Instead, she made a blanket denial, bizarrely claiming that the emails proved that Trump did nothing wrong. Where exactly they said that is a mystery. She went on to repeat the lie that Trump kicked Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago because he was a “pedophile and a creep.”

However there is no evidence of that being the reason for the fallout between them. Trump didn’t even say that. What Trump said was that he booted Epstein for “stealing” his girls from the Mar-a-Lago spa. Although other witnesses have testified that Trump booted Epstein because Epstein tried to cheat Trump out of a real estate deal. PBS published a detailed timeline of these events.

In a statement to the press, Leavitt accused the Democrats of having “selectively leaked emails [to] create a fake narrative to smear President Trump.” She elaborated that…

“These stories are nothing more than bad-faith efforts to distract from President Trump’s historic accomplishments. And any American with common sense sees right through this hoax and clear distraction from the government opening back up again.”

If Leavitt is worried about Democrats making selective leaks, she could easily solve that problem by having her boss release everything. But for some reason, they aren’t doing that. Instead, she’s calling the whole thing a “hoax,” which is Trump’s description of any truth that reveals his corruption and dishonesty. For his part, Trump posted a comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, whining that…

“The Democrats are trying to bring up the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax again because they’ll do anything at all to deflect on how badly they’ve done on the Shutdown, and so many other subjects. Only a very bad, or stupid, Republican would fall into that trap […] There should be no deflections to Epstein or anything else.”

For the record, The Epstein matter is being brought up on a bipartisan basis. Several notable Republican Trump supporters are pressing the administration to release all of the Epstein files, including Marjorie Taylor Green, Thomas Massie, Nancy Mace, and Lauren Boebert. Trump’s comment above is his passive-aggressive threat to them to fall in line or suffer his wrath. Will it work? Stay tuned.

Trump’s Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, is HORRIFIED…By a White House Toilet?

The American presidency is currently going through some of the most troubling challenges in its history. For the first time ever we have, in Donald Trump, a White House occupant who is emulating the behavior of notorious totalitarian dictators such as Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Kim Jong Un, all of whom he frequently reminds us are leaders that he admires.

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

Donald Trump, Toilet, Bathrobe

Having an avowed autocrat as the American PINO (President in Name Only) is creating unprecedented challenges that portend seriously disturbing consequences if not rejected by the American people and what remains of our government institutions.

Unfortunately, those institutions are being strained by the cowardice of Trump’s Republican Party colleagues and the blind fealty of his White House staff. And topping the list of the Trump Sycophants Brigade is his Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt.

SEE THIS: Trump Cult Priestess, Karoline Leavitt, Preaches the Divine Infallibility of Dear Leader

With all of the trauma and turmoil that this nation is currently undergoing, Leavitt made a point of highlighting what she regards as among the most worrisome problems that America is facing. And she tweeted her relief that Dear Leader was addressing that problem head on, saying that…

“When I first learned a toilet like that existed inside the White House, I was horrified. President Trump is making the People’s House more elegant and beautiful for generations of Americans to come!”

Thank gawd! Now, along with building an elegant ballroom for Trump to throw parties paying tribute to him. he and his guests will be able to defecate in the luxury to which they are accustomed. How could anyone even contemplate the horror of the loathsome lavatory on the left in the photos above? But now “generations of Americans” will delight in the gaudy “elegance” of the marble amenities that Trump has installed. Well, actually only a handful of privileged elites with access to the Lincoln Bedroom in the White House.

Trump posted seven separate comments about his facility upgrade on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. So naturally, Leavitt backed him up in a tweet. It is notable that Leavitt has expressed how “horrified” she was by the prior state of the rest room. So, for the record, let’s explore just a few of the things that did not “horrify” Leavitt:

  • Trump’s government shutdown that cut off food aid for children and seniors
  • Trump’s termination of funding for the USAID that will result in thousands of deaths
  • Inflationary tariffs that raise the cost of living of most Americans
  • Healthcare premiums skyrocketing by as much as 400%
  • Trump’s “Justice” Department prosecuting his political foes
  • Ministers getting shot in the face by ICE agents
  • Trump sending the military into American cities
  • Palestinians suffering genocidal attacks in Gaza
  • Trump halting military support for Ukraine at the behest of Vladimir Putin
  • Murder of Venezuelans in the Caribbean who may have been innocent fishermen
  • Trump and Republicans calling peaceful protesters “terrorists”
  • Trump suppressing the media that he calls “the enemy of the people”

With all of that going on, it is comforting that at least we can be grateful now that Leavitt and her ilk will no longer have to suffer from using a toilet that isn’t embedded in a marble mausoleum. Likewise, we can rest assured that Trump is focusing like a laser on the matters that truly impact the lives of the American people. And now he has a place to deposit his excrement, rather than on top of the people who were protesting his authoritarian aspirations.

Trump’s Press Secretary and Fox News Go All-In Maligning Democrats as Hamas Terrorists and Antifa

The Olympic-grade hypocrisy of Donald Trump and his servile Republican Party has already proven to be unmatched for outrageous hyperbole and dangerously reckless rhetoric aimed at inciting fear, hatred, and, yes, violence. It is a daily ritual for the MAGA cult to be baptized in the toxicity of the far-right’s neo-fascism.

Donald Trump and Karoline Leavitt

So, true to form, the spokesperson for the MAGAtist-In-Chief, Karoline Leavitt, upped the ante on Thursday morning during yet another interview on Fox News. Like so many of Trump’s Cabinet members, she seems to make more appearances there than she does in the White House Press Room. And on this occasion she was loaded for bear. Even more than usual.

Leavitt was taking questions from Fox News while the government was in the midst of the third week of the Trump Shutdown. Which has been going very badly for the administration whose excuses were falling flat with the American people who knew better than to believe Trump and Company. Consequently, she desperately needed a distraction. And what she chose was this bit of vile defamation…

“The Democrat Party’s main constituency are made up of Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens, and violent criminals. That is who the Democrat Party is catering to. Not the Trump administration, and not the White House, and not the Republican Party, who is standing up for law abiding Americans, not just across the country, but around the world.”

Leavitt: "The Democrat Party's main constituency is made up of Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens, and violent criminals."

Note that Leavitt isn’t merely accusing Democratic leaders or politicians or media of being terrorists and criminals, as the MAGA Klan often do. Nope. Now she is accusing their constituents. Which means Democratic voters. That’s at least half the country. It’s a major escalation of hostilities by the Trump regime.

What’s more, Leavitt couldn’t be more mistaken in her maliciousness. After all, it’s Trump who is the criminal with 34 felony convictions. He is the one who pardoned hundreds of rioters who stormed the Capitol and assaulted cops. He has supported the terrorist actions of Vladimir Putin against civilians in Ukraine, and Benjamin Netanyahu’s genocide in Gaza. He directs his own terrorist actions against potentially innocent fishermen in the Caribbean. Not to mention his hostile invasions of U.S. cities with military troops. Yet Trump et al project their own malfeasance onto their enemies.

As for “standing up for law abiding Americans,” Trump has issued pardons for his friends, and convicted criminals, such as Steve Bannon, Roger Stone, Peter Navarro, and many more. And it is Trump who continues to cover up for his pedo-pal, Jeffrey Epstein. An aversion to being law abiding seems to be a prerequisite for entry into Trump’s inner circle.

Meanwhile, Leavitt is also promoting a Fox News smear campaign involving the nonexistent organization, Antifa, which the Trump regime has tried to link to Democrats. A story by Fox News asserts that Trump’s “Justice” Department has filed its first charges against alleged Antifa conspirators, saying that…

“A federal grand jury indicted two alleged Antifa members with terrorism-related charges for a July 4 attack on an ICE facility in Texas. […] ‘For the first time ever, the FBI has arrested anarchist violent extremists and charged these Antifa-aligned individuals with material support to terrorism,’ FBI Director Kash Patel said in a statement.”

There’s just one little problem with that. Although the terms “Antifa” and “Antifa Cell” were used repeatedly throughout the Fox News story and the descriptive text of the indictment, and even by Trump’s FBI Director Kash Patel, the word “Antifa” was not mentioned once in the seven actual counts against the defendants. And since there is no such thing as Antifa, it is not surprising that prosecutors could not make legal assertions of membership in an imaginary group.

This is how Trump and his MAGA cohorts are “toning down the rhetoric” that they pretend to believe is so divisive and dangerous. To they contrary, they have been the worst practitioners of vicious invectives to stir up trouble. They know what they’re doing and what the consequences are. They just simply don’t care.

Fox News Lies Fuel the Trump Regime’s Efforts to Blame Democrats and Migrants for the Shutdown

It’s Day 15 of the Trump Shutdown and there is still no discernable exit scenario. Republicans continue to insist that they have nothing to negotiate. Democrats remain steadfastly committed to preventing the healthcare costs for millions of Americans from doubling.

Donald Trump and Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt

So naturally it’s time for Donald Trump and his minions to look to their Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, for support to bolster their faltering campaign to strangle the life out of the government that they despise and to avoid opening it up to serve the people, and perhaps, hold a vote on the issue that most terrifies Trump: releasing the Epstein files.

SEE THIS: Trump Unites America – In Opposition to His Shutdown and His Skyrocketing Healthcare Costs

On Wednesday morning, Trump’s Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, joined in on the lies that Democrats want to keep the government shutdown in order to give free healthcare to illegals aliens. But her “proof” of that is a story by Fox News that completely fails to validate the charge – even when it isn’t spreading flagrant falsehoods. The article published by Fox News leads off saying that…

“EXCLUSIVE: The White House unveiled a number of criminal illegal migrants who received Medicaid as the Senate remains in gridlock over the government shutdown. Fox News Digital obtained detailed information surrounding the arrests of 49 illegal migrants, who have all been deported under the Trump administration, who were arrested for an array of crimes that occurred in the U.S. […] Republicans argue that ‘more than 1 million illegal aliens’ receive Medicaid under the previously existing program that was revised under Trump’s landmark bill.”

Nowhere in the Fox News article that Leavitt cited is there any documentation of the alleged “criminal illegal migrants who received Medicaid.” And even if there were documentation, finding 49 out of a million is hardly evidence of a crisis. It’s barely a rounding error.

The Fox News article concedes that “federal law prohibits undocumented individuals from obtaining Medicaid.” Which is a point that Democrats have been making all along. The article even acknowledges that “A White House official explained that illegal migrants could obtain Medicaid through different means, but, specifically, emergency care.” And emergency care is mandated by the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA), a law that was signed by President Ronald Reagan in 1986.

The article further stated that “emergency care spending on those not legally in the U.S. rose from $3 billion to $9 billion under President Joe Biden.” Once again, there is nothing validating that claim in the article. So it should come as no surprise that it is a totally false claim. According to KFF Health News

“A new Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report shows a total of $27 billion in federal and state spending on Emergency Medicaid for noncitizen immigrants between fiscal years (FY) 2017 and 2023. […] this spending represents less than 1% of overall spending in Medicaid over the entire time period, and, in some years, is less than half of a percent. Spending on Emergency Medicaid was $3.8 billion in FY 2023 and was .4% of total Medicaid spending that year.”

The figures stated above cover most of the Biden presidency and don’t come close to the $9 billion stated by Fox News. What’s more, those CBO numbers are for all immigrants – both legal and otherwise. Which means that the Republican excuse for keeping the Trump Shutdown going is a tiny fraction of federal funds for emergency care that has been mandated by law for forty years.

The real reason that Trump and Republicans are deliberately prolonging the shutdown is, of course, their determination to shutter dozens of critical government agencies, fire thousands of federal employees, and reform American democracy into an autocracy that is ruled by Dear Leader Trump. It’s a model of totalitarian takeover that Trump has borrowed from his idols, Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Kim Jong Un. It’s dangerous, and treasonous, and he must not be allowed to succeed. Because in America we have NO KINGS! Be there.
