Trump Declares the New York Times a ‘Threat to National Security’ that ‘Must Be Stopped’

Posted by Mark NC on December 23, 2025 at 12:30 pm. 1 Comments :

The seething animosity that Donald Trump has toward the free press and the Constitution’s First Amendment is well known and thoroughly documented. He regularly refers to the media in Stalinist terms as “the enemy of the people.” And even mild criticism is met with savage insults and ludicrous lawsuits intended to intimidate and silence anyone who dares to find fault with His MAGA-sty.

However, if you thought that Trump was satisfied with his constant barrage of vile invective, you are vastly underestimating his unquenchable capacity for deep seated loathing and voracious appetite for vengeance. There is nothing that triggers a Trump temper tantrum more than a news story that reveals his multitude of glaring flaws. He demands unflinching adoration at all times.

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

On Tuesday morning Trump escalated his war against the free press with a spine-chilling comment posted to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. The hostility in his most recent rhetoric should be of concern to every freedom loving American patriot who cherishes the Constitution and it’s protection of liberty. Trump raged in a late-night outburst against one of his perennial foes, the New York Times, over some unspecified offense to his massive, yet fragile ego…

“The Failing New York Times, and their lies and purposeful misrepresentations, is a serious threat to the National Security of our Nation. Their Radical Left, Unhinged Behavior, writing FAKE Articles and Opinions in a never ending way, must be dealt with and stopped. THEY ARE A TRUE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE! Thank you for you attention to this matter. PRESIDENT DJT”

It’s impossible to decipher precisely what specific story set Trump off late last night. It could be related to the latest bombshell incriminations in the newly released Jeffrey Epstein files. Or he might be upset that the Times caught him napping during recent Cabinet meetings. Or maybe he’s whining about not being praised for having crashed the economy and making everything more expensive with his inflationary tariffs (aka taxes). Or perhaps people aren’t properly elated by his extrajudicial murders of possibly innocent people in small boats off the coast of Venezuela. There is just so much to choose from.

Trump may just be outraged by an all-of-the-above batch of reporting on atrocities for which he is responsible. In any event, he is embarking on a path of psychotic fury over what he claims – without any rational basis – are “FAKE Articles and Opinions.” Of course all articles and opinions are constitutionally protected, even if the subject of them disapproves. But since Trump doesn’t bother to cite any of these alleged misrepresentation, his claims can’t be confirmed or believed.

What’s even worse about this outburst is Trump’s allegation that the allegedly “Unhinged Behavior” of the Times is a “serious threat to the National Security of our Nation.” That’s the sort of language that Trump commonly unleashes to justify violent military assaults on whoever he is angry with at the moment.

Consequently, it’s fair to assume that he is craving an opportunity to treat the Times the same way he is treating the people in those boats in the Caribbean. After all, he used the very same language for both of these situations. Just one week ago he justified bombing those boats by asserting without evidence that they were transporting drugs, and that “drug trafficking cartels POSE A THREAT to U.S. National Security.” And now he’s saying that about the New York Times.

It is clear that Trump has descended into a state of schizoid delusion and is suffering from severe cognitive impairment. It is Trump who is the imminent danger to the national security of the United States. And he needs to be deprived of power before he causes real, irreparable harm. Whether his removal is done by Congress, his Cabinet, the judiciary, his doctors, or his family, it needs to be done. And soon!

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

Posted by Mark NC on December 10, 2025 at 11:58 am. 2 Comments :

The virulent animosity that Donald Trump has for the free press and the First Amendment of the Constitution has been a hallmark of his public life and his occupation of the White House from its earliest days. He has made it clear that any attempts to report the truth about him or his activities are unwelcome and subject to punishment meted out by his neo-fascist regime.

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

Trump’s history of attacking the media is well documented. It includes everything from infantile insults to multibillion dollar lawsuits. Anything that he can think of to suppress the press that he frequently refers to in Stalinist terms as “the enemy of the people.” He has even put up a wholly improper page on the White House website to malign the media. Although it creates an interesting opportunity for his critics.

SEE THIS: A CALL TO ACTION: Trump White House Launches a ‘Media Bias Offender Tipline’ – Let’s Use It

On Tuesday night Trump dropped an excessively long and tedious comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, that attempted to address his utterly deranged anti-media obsessions. Naturally, he began with some gratuitous praise of himself saying that “There has never been a President that has worked as hard as me! My hours are the longest, and my results are among the best.” Which is downright hilarious considering the frequency with which he has been caught sleeping during his recent Cabinet meetings.

Trump’s comment continued with a litany of lies about his many imaginary accomplishments (i.e. stopping eight wars, creating the “Greatest Economy in History,” rebuilding the Military, restoring international respect, etc.). Then he launched into a bizarre defense of his obviously declining cognitive acuity, saying that…

“I have done something that no other President has done, on three separate occasions, the last one being recently, by taking what is known as a Cognitive Examination, something which few people would be able to do very well, including those working at The New York Times, and I ACED all three of them in front of large numbers of doctors and experts, most of whom I do not know. I have been told that few people have been able to “ace” this Examination and, in fact, most do very poorly, which is why many other Presidents have decided not to take it at all.”

First of all, if his doctors keep prescribing cognitive exams, they must be gravely concerned about something. If they aren’t just observing his growing disability, they could be tracking the side effects of some medication he is taking. Secondly, these exams are pretty simple and involve elementary tasks such as drawing a clock and identifying a camel. The fact that he thinks he “ACED” these tests, and that “most do very poorly,” says more about his own psychoses than the others who he is demeaning.

Trump’s comment then proceeded to deny that there has been any evidence of him “‘slowing up,’ [and] maybe not as sharp as I once was.” For anyone to believe that, they would have to ignore virtually every one of his recent public appearances. He is painfully incapable of staying on topic, as seen in his cult rally Tuesday night in Pennsylvania where he intended to focus on the affordability crisis that he is responsible for, but wandered off course repeatedly to disparage migrants. And he referred to his White House chief of staff, Susie Wiles, as Susie Trump – twice.

HOLY SHIH TZU: Does Trump think that his chief of staff, Susie Wiles, is his wife? Or his mother?

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-12-10T10:49:02.277Z

So Trump’s efforts to assure everyone that he is mentally sound just turned out to bolster the case that he is profoundly impaired. Undeterred, he then got to the meat of his commentary, which was to lambaste the press for accurately reporting his all too apparent physical and mental deficiencies. He raged that…

“After all of the work I have done with Medical Exams, Cognitive Exams, and everything else, I actually believe it’s seditious, perhaps even treasonous, for The New York Times, and others, to consistently do FAKE reports in order to libel and demean ‘THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.’ They are true Enemies of the People, and we should do something about it. They have inaccurately reported on all of my Election Results and, in fact, were forced to apologize on much of what they wrote. The best thing that could happen to this Country would be if The New York Times would cease publication because they are a horrible, biased, and untruthful ‘source’ of information.”

And there you have it. Trump is openly embracing a core principle of totalitarians throughout history, who believe that if the media criticizes them, they are traitors who must be terminated. It is posts such as this that are among the best evidence that Trump should be removed from office ASAP. And you have to wonder what it will take for his glassy-eyed MAGA cult devotees in his administration and in Congress to wake up and do their patriotic duty to prevent this nutcase from doing further harm to the nation and its people?

Is there any atrocity that Trump can commit that will finally go too far in their eyes? So far, bombing boats in the Caribbean with no evidence of criminal activity, and pardoning convicted drug traffickers, and suppressing evidence of his unsavory relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, and shutting down the government to starve poor Americans in order to deprive other Americans from getting healthcare, and on and on, have not been enough. Does he really have to shoot someone on 5th Avenue?

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

Posted by Mark NC on November 26, 2025 at 12:13 pm. 3 Comments :

Anyone who has been observing the behavior of Donald Trump in recent months cannot help but notice his rapidly declining ability to focus on critical issues, or comprehend simple subjects, or even to remain awake during White House meetings. His temperament wavers between lethargic rest home resident and raving psychiatric patient.

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

The precarious state of Trump’s mental condition is one of many reasons that his approval ratings are in the toilet. Most reputable polls show him at or near the lows for either of his occupations of the White House. And that even includes polling by his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News…

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

So it should come as no surprise that Trump is lashing out maniacally at the media for having the audacity to report the truth about him. This time it is a familiar foe, the New York Times, that just published an article with the headline “Shorter Days, Signs of Fatigue: Trump Faces Realities of Aging in Office,” wherein they analyzed Trump’s noticeably faltering state of consciousness, comparing his current 79 year old self to the 71 year old one that began his first term in office. And it’s a rather disturbing comparison. The Times analysis reveals that…

“Trump has fewer public events on his schedule and is traveling domestically much less than he did by this point during his first year in office […] He also keeps a shorter public schedule than he used to.” […]

“Trump’s [first term] scheduled events started at 10:31 a.m. on average. By contrast, Mr. Trump in his second term has started scheduled events in the afternoon on average, at 12:08 p.m. [And that] The number of Mr. Trump’s total official appearances has decreased by 39 percent. In 2017, Mr. Trump held 1,688 official events between Jan. 20 and Nov. 25 of that year. For that same time period this year, Mr. Trump has appeared in 1,029 official events.”

True to form, Trump quickly rushed to reply to this article on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social. He disgorged a 1,571 word rant, of which he spent more than half – 851 words – on flagrant lies about himself and his imagined record in office before getting to his real complaint. What follows are a few select excerpts that reflect the tone of his weakened mentality…

“The Creeps at the Failing New York Times are at it again. I won the 2024 Presidential Election in a Landslide…”
No he didn’t. It was one of the narrowest margins (1.5%) in modern times. Nevertheless, he went on to boast about his phony landslide victory at length.

“The last Administration had the Highest Inflation in history – I have already brought that down to normal.”
No he didn’t. While inflation rose to about 9% during Biden’s term (which was lower than every other industrialized nation), it came down to about 2.9% before Trump was inaugurated. It’s actually gone up a bit to 3% since Trump returned. Trump also bragged falsely that he settled eight wars, was responsible for stock market highs, and restored respect around the world.

“To do this requires a lot of Work and Energy, and I have never worked so hard in my life. Yet…the soon to fold New York Times did a hit piece on me that I am perhaps losing my Energy.”
Trump’s idea of working hard includes golfing at his own clubs and luxuriating at Mar-a-Lago.

“This cheap “RAG” is truly an “ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE.” The writer of the story, Katie Rogers, who is assigned to write only bad things about me, is a third rate reporter who is ugly, both inside and out.”
The article was actually co-written by Katie Rogers and Dylan Freedman. But Trump chose to attack only the woman, and he used his typical misogynistic rhetoric to do so.

“I have my highest Poll Numbers, ever.”
Yeah sure, grandpa. Trump’s polling is abysmal. His best poll has him down by 14 points. And it’s all downhill (26 points down) from there.

“a PERFECT PHYSICAL EXAM AND A COMPREHENSIVE COGNITIVE TEST (“That was aced”)”
Trump has been bragging about this for years. The “cognitive” test was a simple exam given to detect early onset dementia that asks questions no more challenging that to identify a camel. And we still haven’t seen the full results of his physical exam that included an MRI, which is generally only prescribed when there is evidence of a problem.

It’s ironic that Trump’s tirade does more to prove the allegations of his mental infirmity than to persuade against it. But that’s a fairly common consequence of his rage-postings. If anyone is suffering from “Trump Fatigue,” It’s the American people. And no matter how hard he and his sycophants argue that he is sharp and aware, his own behavior always manages to contradict those pleadings. For instance…

Trump's Attorney Genuflect, Pam Bondi, says "we're all trying to keep up with the president."I think she meant "we're all trying to wake up the president."

More Proof That When You Fight Wannabe Dictator Trump, You Win: NY Times Lawsuit Edition

Posted by Mark NC on September 19, 2025 at 1:23 pm. 1 Comments :

Securing his place in history as the most litigious WAB (Whiny-Ass Baby) to ever serve as president of the United States, Donald Trump has once again come up empty in court against the media that he regards as “the enemy of people.” It is just the latest humiliation that he has suffered due to his crankiness and pathetically inept lawyers.

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

On Friday a federal judge dismissed Trump’s lawsuit against the New York Times for defamation, or maybe something else, because his filing didn’t actually present any coherent arguments for any actionable legal complaint. The dismissal was issued just two days after the lawsuit was filed. Which was predictable considering the profoundly ludicrous content in the filing…

SEE THIS: Crybaby Trump’s Hysterical Posting that He’s Suing the New York Times for Hurting His Feelings

It didn’t take long for the judge to determine that the lawsuit lacked any merit, and was thrown out because it “unmistakably and inexcusably” violated the rules that govern civil lawsuits. As reported by ABC News, a federal judge tossed the $15 billion lawsuit, calling it “decidedly improper and impermissible.” And furthermore…

“Judge Merryday, who was appointed by President George H. W. Bush, said the complaint contains eighty pages of repetitive claims and praise for President Trump, but fails to establish the two counts of defamation alleged. He lambasted Trump’s lawyers for forcing him to ‘labor through’ the ‘superfluous’ praise about Trump’s show ‘The Apprentice,’ as well as the size of his real estate empire and the ‘historic fashion’ of Trump’s 2024 presidential victory.”

[And that] “As every lawyer knows (or is presumed to know), a complaint is not a public forum for vituperation and invective — not a protected platform to rage against an adversary.”

OUCH! Trump’s lawyers were given 28 days to refile the complaint in a proper manner. It remains to be seen if they are capable of that. Clearly Trump is not. When he announced that he was filing the suit, he posted a couple of comments on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, exhibiting his pitifully weak comprehension of the law…

Trump wrote that: “They practiced this longterm INTENT and pattern of abuse, which is both unacceptable and illegal. The New York Times has been allowed to freely lie, smear, and defame me for far too long, and that stops, NOW!”

For some reason, Trump has never been able to document this allegedly “longterm” “pattern of abuse.” And with the dismissal of this lawsuit, the Times’ truth-telling about him isn’t going to stop “NOW” either. However, his ranting is also not going to stop now. The next day…

Trump wrote that:: “I am getting amazing feedback on my Lawsuit against The New York Times. The predominant feeling and sentiment is, ‘IT’S ABOUT TIME!’ The case was filed in the Great State of Florida! The Radical Left Media is working hard to destroy the U.S.A. We are going to stop them at each and every level!!! President DJT”

That “amazing feedback” apparently didn’t include any from people who actually know anything about such litigation. His lawsuit never had much of a chance. CNN interviewed several First Amendment experts who all agreed that Trump was way out of bounds constitutionally. Although, his intent may never have been to win, but only to create a media circus within which he could perform his trained monkey act for his cult followers.

With the dismissal of this New York Times case, Trump is adding to his resume of failure. It’s already a long list that includes, but is not limited to…

A case against CNN for reporting about his “Big Lie” that he won the 2020 election was dismissed.
A case against Harvard University, who prevailed in litigation against Trump when he tried to withhold federal grants.
Harvard also won when Trump tried to block the enrollment of international students.
Several law firms won temporary restraining orders prohibiting Trump from punishing them for engaging in litigation against him.
Journalist Bob Woodward beat him in a suit where Trump sought to prohibit him from using audio tapes recorded during an interview.
A case against Hillary Clinton alleging that she lied in her campaign against him in 2016. Trump was ordered to pay Clinton nearly $1 million for legal fees.
And writer E. Jean Carroll scored about $90 million in a judgment against Trump for defamation in a suit involving his sexual abuse of her in a department store dressing room.

The lessons that ought to be learned here are if you fight Trump, you stand a good chance of winning. The parties that previously caved in – including CBS/Paramount, ABC/Disney and a few weak law firms – received nothing for their cowardly capitulation.

Going forward the targets of Trump’s wrath need to show some backbone. And if they do, they will not only have a shot at victory, they will retain their dignity and self-respect, and the respect of of their fellow Americans.

Crybaby Trump’s Hysterical Posting that He’s Suing the New York Times for Hurting His Feelings

Posted by Mark NC on September 16, 2025 at 1:33 pm. 0 Comments :

There has never been an American president whose skin was as thin as whiny baby Donald Trump. He rarely takes a rest from complaining about how horribly offended he is over even the most mild criticism or disagreement. And he lashes out petulantly at whoever dared to utter that insult.

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

On Tuesday morning Trump provided yet another demonstration of his emotional tenderness with his announcement that he is suing the New York Times for … well, who knows what? He’s calling it defamation, but his filing doesn’t contain a single example of anything defamatory published by the Times. It’s just a hodgepodge of gripes about legitimate expressions of opinion that are based on his verifiable conduct. And there is nothing he hates more than accurate reporting about what he does and says.

SEE THIS: Crybaby Trump Whines About Getting Bad Press and Demands that the Offending Media Be Terminated

In the tediously long posting to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, Trump wrote in part that…

“Today, I have the Great Honor of bringing a $15 Billion Dollar Defamation and Libel Lawsuit against The New York Times, one of the worst and most degenerate newspapers in the History of our Country, becoming a virtual ‘mouthpiece’ for the Radical Left Democrat Party.”

Trump’s bizarre “Great Honor” to sue the Times is notable for committing the same sort of defamation that he is accusing the Times of. If required to prove his allegation that the Times is “degenerate” or “a virtual ‘mouthpiece'” for Democrats, he would come up pitifully short. And even if it were true, it’s perfectly legal under the Constitution’s First Amendment. But Trump was just getting started. He also wrote that…

“Their Endorsement of Kamala Harris was actually put dead center on the front page of The New York Times, something heretofore UNHEARD OF!”

Once again, if true it would be the prerogative of the Times to endorse anyone they want, in any manner they choose. But for the record, Trump is lying. The Times endorsement of Harris was only in the Opinion section, not the front page. And there was nothing “UNHEARD OF” about it. And then he continued…

“…our successful litigation against George Slopadopoulos/ABC/Disney, and 60 Minutes/CBS/Paramount”

Setting aside Trump’s infantile nickname for George Stephanopoulos, he is lying yet again. He did not have a “successful litigation” against Disney or Paramount. Neither case ever went to trial. They both settled due to their cowardly fear of Trump interfering with their businesses, which he threatened to do. And they both had pending transactions that relied on approvals from the federal government. So they settled in order to appease Trump. Even so, the amounts were mere fractions of what Trump sued them for. And finally, Trump revealed that…

“The suit is being brought in the Great State of Florida.”

This is an obvious effort to judge-shop in the more friendly Florida pool of conservative judges, rather than the actual location of the suit’s target in New York.

Since Trump’s lawsuit fails to identify any false or defamatory statements by the Times, what is Trump really whining about? Well, last week he threatened bring a suit over a Times story about the now infamous “birthday card” to Jeffrey Epstein that included a note from Trump. He is already suing the Wall Street Journal for $10 billion for the same thing. Trump has denied that the card existed, even after it was released by the Epstein estate. So this is more performative bullpucky, and intimidation. For it’s part, the Times responded saying that…

The New York Times responded to Trump’s lawsuit saying that “This lawsuit has no merit. It lacks any legitimate legal claims and instead is an attempt to stifle and discourage independent reporting. The New York Times will not be deterred by intimidation tactics. We will continue to pursue the facts without fear or favor and stand up for journalists’ First Amendment right to ask questions on behalf of the American people.”

We’ll see. Many others have capitulated. Although the record shows that, more often than not, when a party to a Trump lawsuit chose to fight back, they won. Because in the end, Trump is just a phony who puts on a facade of toughness that he has never lived up to. In fact, he has provided a better description of himself when he bragged that he is “the most fabulous whiner.” No, really…

UPDATE: Trump’s lawsuit against the New York Times was thrown out of court only two days after it was filed. The ruled that “it “unmistakably and inexcusably”that the courts are violated the rules that govern civil lawsuits, and “not a protected platform to rage against an adversary.”

60 Minutes Interview of Kamala Harris that Drove Trump to Sue CBS is Nominated for an Emmy

Posted by Mark NC on May 3, 2025 at 11:53 am. 2 Comments :

The crusade by Donald Trump to suppress the media, intimidate journalists, and bring an end to America’s constitutional protection of the free press, has accelerated since his reoccupation of the White House. His determination to emulate the sort of autocratic control that his idols (Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, Kim Jong Un, etc.) enjoy is the keystone of his MAGA Cult movement.

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

Among Trump’s brazen efforts to clamp down on independent news organizations and reporting is his lawsuit against CBS for what he claims was their “illegal” editing of an interview of Vice-President Kamala Harris near the end of the 2024 election campaign. It was just another attempt by Trump to use meritless legal tactics to bring the media to heel with threats and the abuse of the power of the presidency.

SEE THIS: Trump Threatens CBS Over Kamala Harris Interview on 60 Minutes He Says Was ‘Possibly Illegal’

Trump was furious at CBS and 60 Minutes for reporting in a manner that was consistent with honest and professional journalism. He posted a frothingly rabid comment in October of last year on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, saying that…

“60 MINUTES SHOULD BE IMMEDIATELY TAKEN OFF THE AIR – ELECTION INTERFERENCE. CBS SHOULD LOSE ITS LICENSE. THIS IS THE BIGGEST SCANDAL IN BROADCAST HISTORY. Kamala should be investigated and forced off the Campaign”

Trump is going to have an aneurism after he learns that the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences has just announced that the interview that triggered Trump’s wrath has been nominated for an Emmy in the very category that ruffled his scales. As reported by the Associated Press (which Trump has banned from presidential events)…

“Last fall’s ’60 Minutes’ story on Kamala Harris — the subject of Trump’s $20 billion lawsuit against CBS — was nominated for an Emmy Award Thursday for ‘outstanding edited interview.’ Trump, in his lawsuit, complained that the interview was deceptively edited to make his Democratic election opponent look good.”

That’s right. The interview that Trump baselessly asserted was “illegal” and “election interference” due to its editing, has been nominated for an Emmy for “Outstanding Editing.” Could there be a better example of the irrational inanity of Trump’s impotent whining?

Well, actually there can be. Because Trump is still doing it with even greater force of idiocy. A few days ago Trump posted a new comment absurdly claiming that “The case we have against 60 Minutes, CBS, and Paramount is a true WINNER.” He reiterated his false accusation that the interview was improperly edited. But then he escalated his legal threats to include the New York Times because they published an article that correctly reported that legal experts regarded his case as “baseless.” He wrote that…

“[T]he Failing New York Times, which is Fake News both in writing and polling, claims that ‘people’ said that the case is baseless. They don’t mean that, they just have a non curable case of TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, possibly to the point where the Times’ interjection makes them liable for tortious interference, including in Elections, which we are intently studying.”

It is also notable that Trump’s legal threats are both a conflict of interest and a flagrant abuse of power. As David Corn of Mother Jones reports, Trump is simultaneously suing CBS and it’s corporate parent, Paramount, while his FCC chair, Brendan Carr, is reviewing a proposed merger between Paramount and Skydance Media. So Trump can extort a settlement from CBS under the threat of declining to approve the merger.

That wholly inappropriate scenario may have contributed to the resignation of 60 Minutes executive producer, Bill Owens, whose reason for leaving after 37 years included the complaint that he “would not be allowed to run the show as I have always run it. To make independent decisions based on what was right for 60 Minutes, right for the audience.”

Hopefully CBS will not capitulate to Trump’s demands. What is clear is that everyone who has done so previously has paid a price for it, financially and reputationally. And those who have stood up against him have prevailed. That’s because the law, and the Constitution, and the people are on the side of unfettered freedom of the press. And it’s why Trump’s totalitarian efforts to undermine it will fail in the end.

UPDATE: An outraged and deranged Trump is predictably whining that the 60 Minutes interview “has now been nominated for an award by the totally discredited Emmys. Did 60 Minutes and its Corporate Parents apply to get an Emmy for an illegally falsified interview?”

White House ‘Corrects’ a New York Times Headline – Winds Up Affirming Trump’s Contempt of Court

Posted by Mark NC on April 18, 2025 at 2:37 pm. NO Comments :

The second occupation of the White House by Donald Trump has proven to be far more destructive of the laws and principles of the United States and its Constitution than even the most pessimistic prognosticators imagined. And exacerbating the damage done is the fact that Trump routinely makes matters worse when he is confronted with his offenses.

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

That was demonstrated this week when Sen. Chris Van Hollen travelled to El Salvador to arrange a meeting with his Maryland constituent, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was abducted by Trump’s thugs and carted off to a gulag in El Salvador without the due process that everyone is entitled to in the American justice system. Garcia has also suffered the defamatory abuse of Trump’s MAGA media propagandists.

SEE THIS: Trump DHS Official on Fox News Likens Wrongly Deported Migrant, Abrego Garcia, to Osama Bin Laden

After first being refused, Van Hollen was eventually permitted to see Abrego Garcia and ascertain his welfare and treatment while in custody. The meeting was a significant step forward to what should be Abrego Garcia’s release, and it was widely reported in the U.S. press.

Among the media that posted stories about the meeting was the New York Times. Their headline accurately stated that “Senator Meets With Wrongly Deported Maryland Man in El Salvador.” And that honesty was taken as some sort of challenge by the Trump administration to pile on with more lies and callous disregard for human rights. The White House posted the following…

Thanks White House hack, for providing this additional proof that Trump is in Contempt of Court for non-compliance with a court order to facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia from El Salvador.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-04-18T18:40:35.874Z

You really have to wonder just how severely disturbed one has to be to get on Trump’s White House staff. This attempt to mock what is a profoundly gross violation of international law and human rights is not only repulsive, it actually harms Trump’s already weak arguments for having deported Abrego Garcia, and for maintaining his incarceration. Trump’s White House is actually affirming that he is deliberately in Contempt of Court.

For starters, they crossed out the word “Wrongly,” which contradicts their own admission that Abrego Garcia’s deportation was the result of “an administrative error.”

Secondly, they also crossed out the words “Maryland Man,” and replaced them with “MS-13 Illegal Alien. However, there is no evidence whatsoever that Abrego Garcia is, or ever was, affiliated with MS-13 or any other gang. Furthermore, in the 15 years that he has lived in the U.S. he has never been arrested or charged with any crime.

Finally, they added the words “Who’s Never Coming Back” to end of the headline, referring to their insistence that Trump and his administration have no intention bringing Abrego Garcia back home, despite the ruling by a federal court ordering his return, which was upheld 9-0 by the Supreme Court. That’s gonna come in handy when hearings are held to determine whether Trump should be held in Contempt of Court.

For his part, Trump took time off from golfing to address this matter with a comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, saying that Van Hollen “looked like a fool,” who was “begging for attention.” And for that Trump called him a “grandstander.” All of which proves that Trump is still the master of projection and is staring into a mirror when composing his insults of others. Has there ever been a more foolish, attention grabbing, grandstander than Trump?

MAKE IT STOP! Crybaby Trump Continues His Infantile Whining Weeks After Winning the Election

Posted by Mark NC on November 26, 2024 at 1:28 pm. NO Comments :

There is just no satisfying a malignant narcissist with delusions of grandeur and aspirations of authoritarian dictatorship. And Donald Trump is a textbook example of someone suffering from this acute psychosis that produces a relentless stream of anxiety and unrestrained animosity.

Emotionally stable persons are generally pacified when they achieve some long sought after goal. But Trump is congenitally incapable of pacification. He relentlessly regards himself as a victim no matter what the circumstances at any given moment in time. In fact, he’s actually proud of his ceaseless proclivity for whining, bragging that “I am the most fabulous whiner. I do whine, because I want to win. I am a whiner and I keep whining and whining until I win.”

So even three weeks after election day, Trump is still complaining that he is a victim of nefarious entities determined to destroy him. On his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, Trump posted a message griping about some unexplained offense by New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman. He began by asking…

“Will the failing New York Times apologize to its readers for getting years of ‘Trump’ coverage so wrong. They write such phony ‘junk,’ knowing full well how incorrect it is, only meaning to demean.”

Trump doesn’t bother to cite any particular story that he asserts was “wrong,” or “phony,” or “junk,” or intended to “demean.” But he does resort to disgorging his standard issue insults and misogyny, referring to Haberman as “Magot Hagerman,” a slur that most seven year olds have outgrown.

Trump goes on to malign Haberman as “a third rate writer and fourth rate intellect [who he] almost never speak[s] to.” Never mind that he has spent many hours with her over the years, and proudly posed with her for photos in the Oval Office (see above). She also published a book – “Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America” – based on her lengthy interviews of him. Despite these easily verifiable facts, Trump continued with a baseless charge against the New York Times, alleging falsely that…

“They do no fact checking, because facts don’t matter to them. I don’t believe I’ve had a legitimately good story in the NYT for years, AND YET I WON, IN RECORD FASHION, THE MOST CONSEQUENTIAL PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION IN DECADES. WHERE IS THE APOLOGY?”

For the record, Trump’s “RECORD FASHION” of winning was actually one of the narrowest margins of victory in modern times. He led Kamala Harris by less than 2%, and didn’t even muster a majority of the popular vote, for the third election in a row. But he still has the gall to ask for an apology? WTF for? Telling too much of the truth about him?

As usual, Trump’s temper tantrum was likely triggered by something that he came across in the press. Since he doesn’t mention what it was, we have to make an educated guess. In the hours before his hissy fit, the Times had published two stories by Haberman. One was about his long time aide, Boris Epshteyn, who is alleged to have sought payment from people seeking jobs in Trump’s administration. Proving that everyone in the Trump orbit is corrupt.

The other article was about Natalie Harp, a starstruck Trump flunky and former OAN cable “news” host who was known for writing “devotional letters,” to Trump, including one that said, “You are all that matters to me.” Her ultra-sycophantic presence in the Trump camp “has generated concern among other aides who feel she has been far too willing to serve as a funnel for conspiratorial information.” No wonder Trump loves her.

One other possible provocation for Trump’s outburst was a segment Monday night on CNN where Haberman talked about what Trump might do to retaliate against special counsel Jack Smith and other prosecutors in the Justice Department who indicted him for inciting the January 6th insurrection, and for stealing and hoarding classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago home/hotel and lying to the FBI about it.

Whatever the cause, it is clear that Trump is not mentally stable enough to perform the duties of the presidency. Not that he ever was. But now he is wracked with a frenzied hostility aimed at his perceived enemies without any rational basis. And as bad as this is now, it is only going to get worse over time. Hopefully Democrats in Congress will will provide some protection from the harm he is preparing to unleash. The MAGA GOP – and his family – obviously don’t care that he is a danger to himself and the nation.

WTF? According to the New York Times ‘Biden Should Leave the Race’ AND ‘Trump is Unfit to Lead’

Posted by Mark NC on July 11, 2024 at 12:46 pm. 1 Comments :

One thing that is disturbingly clear at this critical time in America’s story is that the media is not serving the interests of the American people. In the midst of a presidential election that could determine whether the future of the nation will see its democracy preserved, or descends into a populist autocracy, the press is fixated on the horserace to the detriment of the human race.

As the election cycle unfolds, the arguments for and against the candidates seems to be an afterthought to the press. Their obsession with President Biden’s age has consumed the attention span of the reporters covering the campaign. Meanwhile, they are downplaying the existential threat that Donald Trump poses to the principles enshrined in the Constitution and even to national security.

As an example of the ideological instability that is infecting the media, the New York Times just published an article by their Editorial Board that declares that “Donald Trump is unfit to lead.” The problem is that this article follows by a mere two weeks one by the same Board that asserted that “To serve his country, President Biden should leave the race.” So which is it? Or does the Times think that both candidates should drop out? And if one or the other doesn’t, then what?

WTF is the New York Times trying to say?

June 28: "To serve his country, President Biden should leave the race."
July 10: "Donald Trump is unfit to lead." pic.twitter.com/b5PfyGnIJO

What follows are a couple excerpts from each article…

June 28, To serve his country, President Biden should leave the race:
“President Biden has repeatedly and rightfully described the stakes in this November’s presidential election as nothing less than the future of American democracy.

Donald Trump has proved himself to be a significant jeopardy to that democracy — an erratic and self-interested figure unworthy of the public trust. He systematically attempted to undermine the integrity of elections. His supporters have described, publicly, a 2025 agenda that would give him the power to carry out the most extreme of his promises and threats. If he is returned to office, he has vowed to be a different kind of president, unrestrained by the checks on power built into the American political system.” […]

“Mr. Biden has been an admirable president. Under his leadership, the nation has prospered and begun to address a range of long-term challenges, and the wounds ripped open by Mr. Trump have begun to heal. But the greatest public service Mr. Biden can now perform is to announce that he will not continue to run for re-election.” […]

“If the race comes down to a choice between Mr. Trump and Mr. Biden, the sitting president would be this board’s unequivocal pick. That is how much of a danger Mr. Trump poses.”

July 11, Donald Trump is unfit to lead
“Next week, for the third time in eight years, Donald Trump will be nominated as the Republican Party’s candidate for president of the United States. A once great political party now serves the interests of one man, a man as demonstrably unsuited for the office of president as any to run in the long history of the Republic, a man whose values, temperament, ideas and language are directly opposed to so much of what has made this country great.” […]

“Mr. Trump has shown a character unworthy of the responsibilities of the presidency. He has demonstrated an utter lack of respect for the Constitution, the rule of law and the American people. Instead of a cogent vision for the country’s future, Mr. Trump is animated by a thirst for political power: to use the levers of government to advance his interests, satisfy his impulses and exact retribution against those who he thinks have wronged him.”

A fair reading of these articles would lead the reader to the conclusion that the Board regards Trump as a threat to democracy and the welfare of the nation and the world. But why did the Times choose to publish both articles, giving equal weight to the argument that Biden, while preferable, is just as unfit to occupy the office of the president? It’s a serious disservice to the readers and the nation to provide justifications to withhold support from Biden, who the Times believes would save democracy.

The Times could have published just the article criticizing Trump and included their reservations about Biden in a couple of paragraphs near the end. That would have been a better representation of their opinions, without giving ammunition to Trump supporters. After all, the Times is essentially saying that Biden’s faults are mainly political viability, while Trump’s would lead to actual catastrophe.

Furthermore, the Times could have gone into more detail about why Trump is unacceptable as a candidate. They didn’t mention Trump’s 34 felony convictions related to covering up hush money payments to a porn star; his civil liability for defamation and rape; his $354 million judgment for financial fraud; his theft of hundreds of classified documents about which he lied to the FBI; or his inciting a violent insurrection.

These are not times to be timid or to cling to false notions of balance. It’s okay to speculate about whether Biden presents the best opportunity to defeat Trump. It is not okay to place Biden’s comparatively minor deficiencies on the same level as Trump’s sociopathy that ranges from incompetent to traitorous. And the Times knows better. Or at least they used to.

Bizarro Trump Embraces the ‘Fake News’ New York Times, While Bashing the ‘Unwatchable’ Fox News

Posted by Mark NC on November 7, 2023 at 1:15 pm. 1 Comments :

With election day 2024 now officially one year away, some people will begin paying a little more attention to campaigns and candidates. Although it’s still likely that most Americans will avoid the subject until after both Democrats and Republicans have selected their nominees at their respective conventions next summer.

On the surface there doesn’t seem to be much mystery about who the candidates will be. President Biden is unlikely to have a serious challenger for the Democratic nomination. And since there are no Republicans who can be taken seriously about anything, Donald Trump will likely cruise to his party’s nomination. The Republican primary season has already begun with two debates completed and the third scheduled for this week. And Trump has chickened out of all three.

Still, both Biden and Trump have vulnerabilities that could result in their being sidelined. Biden has been hammered in the allegedly “liberal” media for his advanced age, although he is only three years older than Trump, and noticeably more capable and better qualified to perform the duties of the office. Trump, on the other hand, has four indictments pending on 91 felony charges, and has been embarrassing himself with repeated episodes of his mental deterioration.

Which brings us to the recent poll by the New York Times that found Trump to be leading Biden in five of six swing states. There are as many good reasons to be concerned about those results as there are to dismiss miss them as premature or outliers. So that can be debated elsewhere.

What’s interesting is that Republicans are downright giddy over these numbers and are convinced that they herald a certain Trump victory twelve months from now. And among the MAGA faithful who are clutching onto this poll is their Dear Leader, Donald Trump. In fact, Trump has already dropped five posts citing this poll on his pitifully failing social media scam, Truth Social.

That’s right, Trump, who devoutly decries the New York Times as the “failing,” “fake news” arm of the “radical Marxist thugs” on the left, is now heralding them as an ideological ally and a bastion of insight and accuracy. For some reason Trump isn’t castigating the Times an anti-Trump rag populated by idiots who hate America. All of a sudden those idiots are prophets doing the Lord’s work.

At the same time, Trump has lately been chastising his longtime Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News. He has rebuked it as a “dead, “unwatchable,” network that is “pushing the radical left, do-nothing Democrats,” and “is doing nothing to help Republicans, and me, get re-elected.”

SEE THIS: Trump Viciously Attacks Fox News, the Network He Says is ‘Dead, Totally Fake, Unwatchable’

If you thought you recently felt a reversal in Earth’s geomagnetic polarity, this might explain it. Or more likely, it may just be Trump’s tendency to take diametrically opposing views whenever he thinks it is in his interest to do so. And those positional reversals can occur over a matter of years, weeks, or even minutes.

Case in point, Trump just dispatched his attorney, Alina Habba, to Fox News, despite it’s deadness and unwatchability. However, while there Habba accidently said something that was uncharacteristically true. Following Trump’s testimony in his financial fraud case, she complained that “There’s a real disregard for authority here, and a real primary focus on politics.”

Habba’s remarks were an accurate description of Trump’s infantile behavior in court, although she might not have meant it that way. Fox meanwhile, identified her as “Alina Habba: Save America Legal Spokesperson,” rather than as his attorney. The question now is, will Trump have to dump Habba for fraternizing with the enemy? And will he renew his subscription to the no-longer-fake New York Times? Or will he simply adopt some other opinion that temporarily satisfies his voracious ego? The smart money is on the latter.
