Trump PR Flack, Karoline Leavitt, Embraces Poll that Proves MAGA is a Cult that Worships Trump

Posted by on March 18, 2026 at 2:35 pm. 0 Comments :

With the 2026 midterm elections rapidly approaching, it is becoming more evident that Donald Trump and his MAGA Republican Party in Congress are likely to suffer a bitter defeat, losing majorities in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. Should that happen Trump would become the lamest of ducks to finish off his remaining two years in the White House.

Donald Trump and Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt

Consequently, Trump is pulling out all the stops to get Congress to pass his so-called “Save America Act” (aka “Save Trump Act,” aka “Voter Suppression Act”) He has been posting a flurry of desperate comments on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, in the hopes of staving off the inevitable political drubbing that many analysts are predicting.

SEE THIS: IN A PANIC Trump Threatens GOP to Pass His Anti-Voting Act, Because His ‘Reasons’ Are Pure BS

Among Trump’s online pleadings is one that declares that this bill is a priority that must be passed “at the expense of everything else.” So he is placing it above his war in Iran, the affordability crisis caused by his tariffs, his hunting of immigrants, his vanity ballroom, the Epstein files, and his persecution of the media that he recently accused of “treason.”

On Wednesday morning Trump’s Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, sought to promote how beloved her Dear Leader Trump is. So she posted a video clip of CNN’s Harry Enten reporting the results of a new poll. The subject of the survey was the approval of Trump by his MAGA followers. Which reached levels that North Korea’s Kim Jong Un could only dream of…

Enten: Sometimes you look at the polling data and there are numbers that jump off the screen at you. And this is one of those. Because just take a look here. MAGA GOP view of Trump, approve is 100%. If you are a member of MAGA in the GOP, you approve of Donald John Trump.”

That’s right! The hive-mind uniformity of the MAGA movement is at peak deification. Not that that is anything to worry about. Because according to a recent Economist/YouGov poll “only 27 percent of all voters described themselves as ‘MAGA supporters’ and a perhaps surprisingly low 54 percent of Trump voters so identified.” So MAGA is a small minority of the general public, and only barely half of the Republican base. Yeah, that’s too many. But it shouldn’t be enough to wield any power, assuming fair elections are held.

Nevertheless, these numbers thrilled Trump’s press liar, Leavitt. So she proudly posted them on her Twitter/X account to pass on what she thinks is great news. However, the only thing that these numbers prove is that MAGA is a more nefarious disseminator of BS propaganda than North Korea.

There is only one way numbers could be that ridiculously homogeneous. And it’s what many people have been saying about MAGA for years: IT’S A CULT! Polling of all voters reveals that Trump is at record lows. Undeterred by reality, the cult’s spokeswoman is actually celebrating the thoroughness of the brainwashing and the unquestioning fealty that membership in the MAGA cult requires.

UPDATE: Trump himself cited the CNN poll and likewise lied about it by pretending that it represented all voters, rather than just his MAGA cult.

The Trump Regime Takes Putin at His Word About Russia Aiding Iran but Wanting to Help the U.S.

Posted by on March 10, 2026 at 1:59 pm. 2 Comments :

For ten years Donald Trump has been whining about what he calls the “Russia, Russia, Russia hoax.” But like everything else that he calls a hoax, it is based on documented facts. Trump has had unsavory connections to Russian officials and proxies for as long as he has been in politics, and even before with his real estate ventures.

Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin

Now as Trump is engaged in his unprovoked and unnecessary war against Iran, he is affirming all of the worst implications of his disturbing adoration of Vladimir Putin and his envy of the dictator’s authoritarian powers. And in his diminished mental state, Trump is conflating his lies about Iran with his lies about Russia and their interference in the U.S. elections.

SEE THIS: Trump Just Posted the Real Reason that He Started a War with Iran, and It’s Truly Insane

During a press conference on Tuesday morning, Trump’s Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, was asked a question by ABC News reporter, Karen Travers, about a recent phone call that Trump had with his boss, Vladimir Putin. Travers sought to get some clarification on Trump’s assertion that Putin promised to help the U.S. with Iran, which Putin promptly contradicted…

Travers: The president said yesterday that Putin told him he wanted to helpful in the Middle East. The Kremlin put out a statement where Putin said, quote, “I would like to reaffirm our unwavering support for Tehran and our solidarity with Iranian friends.” How does the president think that Russia could be helpful if not helping Iran? And did the president push Putin on Russia sharing intelligence with Iran in this war?
Leavitt: The President and Special Envoy Witkoff, have both said that they’ve sent a message to Russia that if that was taking place, it’s not something they would be happy with and they hope that it is not taking place.

Notice that Leavitt totally ignored the part of the question regarding Trump’s claim that Putin would be helpful to the U.S. And her response to the credible reports that Russia is giving intelligence to Iran to help them target American assets and troops was hardly comforting. To the contrary, it couldn’t be a weaker expression submissiveness to Putin by saying merely that Trump would not be happy about it. That’s telling him!

Confirming Trump’s mushy stance on these matters, his “Special” envoy to Russia, Steve Witkoff, told CNBC’s Carl Quintanilla that the Trump regime was satisfied with whatever Putin said…

Quintanilla: Do we think the Russians have shared intelligence about US military assets, and if they have, why would we be giving waivers on oil sanctions?
Witkoff: Well, I’m not an intel officer, so I can’t tell you. I can tell you that yesterday on the call with the president the Russians said they have not been sharing. That’s what they said. We can take them at their word.

QUINTANILLA: Do we think the Russians have shared intel about US military assets, and if so, why would we be giving waivers on oil sanctions?WITKOFF: I can tell you that on the call with POTUS, the Russians said they have not been sharing. That's what they said. We can take them at their word.

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-03-10T16:08:53.733Z

Once again, the part of the question regarding Trump giving waivers to Russia on oil sanctions was ignored. But Witkoff proudly proclaimed his blind faith in Putin, whose word is apparently golden to Trump and his team.

None of this should be surprising to anyone who has been paying attention to Trump, his staff, and his glassy-eyed disciples. The cult factor is clearly in play here. And Witkoff is a good example of a zealous devotee. During the CNBC interview he was also asked what he would say to “Americans who are struggling with making ends meet and don’t want foreign wars.” He replied…

"…think about what this world would look like if you didn't have Donald Trump as the president."OKAY…

Pete Hegseth Callously Dismisses American Fatalities as the Press ‘Wanting to Make Trump Look Bad’

Posted by on March 4, 2026 at 2:12 pm. 1 Comments :

The authoritarian aspirations of Donald Trump have manifested in innumerable ways during his occupation of the White House. He has been resolutely averse to complying with federal law and the Constitution. He has refused to acknowledge the role of either Congress or the courts as co-equal branches of the American republic. And he has made it his mission to alienate America’s international allies, while embracing its sworn enemies.

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

Pete Hegseth with Drunk Emoji

This has been painfully apparent in the four days since Trump launched his reckless, unjustified, and illegal war against Iran. There has already been a tragic loss of life of American troops. Not to mention hundreds of innocent Iranians. And all because of Trump’s obsession with war mongering and desperate craving to be perceived as a macho man, despite his personal resume of cowardice and the weakness of envy.

SEE THIS: Trump Reveals His OCD (Obama Compulsive Disorder) Played a Role in Launching a War Against Iran

Taking his cues from Trump, the Secretary of Toy Soldier War, Pete Hegseth, held a press harangue on Wednesday morning to provide his update on the regress of the Iran war, that nobody in the Republican Party or crony MAGA media will admit is a war. During his extending rant, Hegseth made his feelings known about both the fallen soldiers under his command and the media that reports on their fates. He whined that…

“This is what the fake news misses. We’ve taken control of Iran’s airspace and waterways without boots on the ground. We control their fate. But when a few drones get through or tragic things happen, it’s front page news. I get it, the press only wants to make the president look bad. But try for once to report the reality. The terms of this war will be set by us at every step.”

Notice that Hegseth himself refers to this as a war. Then he goes on to characterize the death of American troops as merely that “tragic things happen.” That’s true. Tragic things happen when incompetents whose prior experience was hosting weekend programs on Fox News are put in charge of massive military bureaucracies. But rather than taking responsibility for it, Hegseth blames the media for giving it the proper attention that fallen heroes deserve on the front pages and opening segments of their reporting.

However, to Hegseth, “reporting the reality” of these tragedies is just the media’s attempts “to make the president look bad.” Trust me…Trump doesn’t need any help from the media to look bad. But Hegseth is outraged because reporting that Americans have died in this regime’s war of choice and vanity can’t be spun as something positive for Dear Leader Trump.

Making matters worse, when Trump’s Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, was asked about Hegseth’s callous remarks, she took the same position…

Kaitlan Collins of CNN: Given what Hegseth said this morning, is it the position of this administration that the press should not prominently cover the deaths of U.S. Service members?
Leavitt: No, it’s the position of this administration that the press in this room, and the press across the country, should accurately report on the success of operation Epic Fury and the damage it is doing to the rogue Iranian regime that has threatened the lives of every single American in this room. […]

The press does only want to make the president look bad. Especially you, and especially CNN […] You and your network know that you take every single thing that this administration says and tries to use it to make the president look bad. That is an objectable (sic) fact.

Leavitt personally insults Collins, while literally saying that the job of the press is to report only “the success of operation Epic Fury” (aka Epstein Fury), not the reality. Because the reality has the unfortunate, albeit accurate, side effect of hurting Trump’s objectively abysmal reputation. And she flagrantly lies that it’s a fact that “every single thing” the administration says is used by CNN to make him look bad. Has she never seen Scott Jennings, Ben Ferguson, Batya Ungar-Sargon, Ari Fleischer, and many more of CNN’s Trump-fluffers?

Leavitt conveniently fails to mention Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, where she spends more time than she does at her White House office. And Fox News has also been regurgitating the Trump regime’s talking points about Iran, while downplaying the bad news. For instance, Fox’s Emily Compagno recently gushed that Trump “is a president that does not take the loss of those six American lives lightly. He takes it with the gravitas it deserves.” For the record, here is the “gravitas” that Trump expresses for the loss of life…

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

Posted by on February 24, 2026 at 1:15 pm. 0 Comments :

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.

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

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

Posted by on February 3, 2026 at 12:50 pm. 1 Comments :

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

Posted by on January 21, 2026 at 3:57 pm. 0 Comments :

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’

Posted by on January 15, 2026 at 12:30 pm. 0 Comments :

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!

Posted by on December 20, 2025 at 2:35 pm. 0 Comments :

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.

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.

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

Posted by on November 13, 2025 at 1:29 pm. 1 Comments :

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.

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

Posted by on November 12, 2025 at 1:33 pm. 1 Comments :

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…

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

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.
