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.

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

Posted by on December 11, 2025 at 3:44 pm. 2 Comments :

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

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

Donald Trump, Wah

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[And that…]

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

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

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

Posted by on November 21, 2025 at 12:13 pm. 1 Comments :

Earlier this month, Trump suffered a resounding electoral defeat as voters in multiple states rejected his candidates and his policies. And with his pathetic failure to address the number one issue in the minds of voters – the economy – his future looks decidedly bleak. And he knows it.

Donald Trump, Wah

Trump’s fear of sinking to ever deeper depths in public opinion is having a profound impact on his already fragile emotional state. It could be at least partly responsible for what may be his most nauseating outburst wherein he called for the execution of several Democratic members of Congress just because they reminded soldiers of their duty to disobey illegal orders.

SEE THIS: Trump Accuses Democratic Members of Congress With ‘Seditious Behavior, Punishable by Death’

So Trump is going to go into an apoplectic shock when he hears about the latest poll by his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News. Quite often when a Fox News poll has bad news for Trump, the network buries it. And they did on this occasion as well, at least so far as their most watched primetime programs are concerned. However, Fox’s primary “news” anchor, Bret Baier, had the audacity to air part of the poll’s results during his Thursday program. He reported that…

“The issue of affordability, the issue of how people feel about the economy, is popping up in our latest poll. In personal financial situation – “excellent/good” 40%, only “fair or poor” 60%. The condition of the U.S. economy, also a perception totally upside down. 76-25%. And then economic conditions for the nation and you personally, again 25% positive, 76 negative for the nation, and 60-40 % (negative) personally.”

Reality check. Fox News presents Trump’s dismal poll numbers from their own poll to Fox’s MAGA audience.

— Mike Sington (@mikesington.bsky.social) 2025-11-20T13:58:24.354Z

It’s difficult to imagine things being much worse for Trump. Fortunately, no imagination is necessary if you read the article about the poll on Fox’s website. It went into more detail than Baier was comfortable revealing on the air. For instance, among all voters, only 41% approve of the job Trump is doing, while 58% disapprove. That’s a five-point drop since September.

What’s more, a new low of 38% approves of his handling of the economy. While large numbers overall – and even among Republicans – say their costs for groceries, utilities, healthcare and housing have gone up this year. About twice as many say Trump, rather than Biden, is responsible for the current economy. That includes a surprising 42% of Republicans. And voters say by a 31-point margin that Trump’s economic policies have hurt rather than helped them.

Trump has yet to comment on these abysmal numbers. But in the past, Trump has made his displeasure with Fox News known when they published poll results like these. This summer Trump lashed out at Fox News for reporting survey results that proved to be pretty accurate. Trump raged on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, that…

“The Crooked FoxNews Polls got the Election WRONG, I won by much more than they said I would, and have been biased against me for years. They are always wrong and negative. It’s why MAGA HATES FoxNews, even though their anchors are GREAT.”

That’s right! “MAGA HATES FoxNews.” Which is why Trump’s glassy-eyed cult disciples watch almost nothing else. And among the reasons that Trump thinks the Fox “anchors are great,” aside from their constant kissing of Trump’s…let’s say ring, is that they don’t embarrass him by reporting his awful poll numbers, even by their own network. Although the polling from other sources isn’t any better for Trump. Just wait until he hears about this…

FLYING KETCHUP BOTTLE ALERT!!!Trump's BEST poll has him down by 14 points. But it's all downhill (26 points down) from there.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-11-21T18:15:31.036Z

UPDATE: Trump had something to say about his poll numbers. And to no one’s surprise, it was totally bonkers…

OKAY… Now can we all agree that Trump is NUTZ?Now can we remove Trump from office? 8647!#25thAmendment

Trump Media (Truth Social) Falls to Its Lowest Point Ever – And So Does Donald Trump

Posted by on November 18, 2025 at 1:59 pm. 1 Comments :

In the fall of 2025, the fortunes of Donald Trump have fallen on hard times. The November 4th election saw him lose virtually every contest in which his influence or reputation was a factor. And the snowballing scandal regarding his unsavory association with child sex trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein, has picked up steam even among his Republican confederates in congress who just voted to release the Epstein files.

Donald Trump Circling the Drain

No wonder Trump is furiously freaking out and throwing some of the most deranged tantrums of his decade in politics. Which given his record of bizarre and psychotic episodes to date, is really saying something. It also explains in part his desperation to rig the upcoming elections next year for which he is likely to be the biggest burden crushing the prospects of his Republican cult…er…Party.

SEE THIS: Trump Threatens Republicans to Gerrymander Red States With a Flurry of Downright Deranged Lies

Reflecting the animus that Trump inspires in America, his scam business venture, Trump Media and Technology Group, is suffering its worst week since it went public a year and a half ago. It has lost a whopping 80% of its asset value since then. Just in the past month its stock lost 32% marking its lowest price since listing. And these declines have occurred while the stock market indexes have been surging.

The last quarterly report for the company showed yet another “net loss of $54.8 million.” They made a huge and poorly timed $2 billion bet on Bitcoin, which then promptly plummeted from their $118,000 purchase price to about $95,000 in the past couple of months. They also reported a massive $20.3 million in legal fees to fend off allegations of fraud and financial misconduct.

Not surprisingly, Trump’s own approval ratings have performed in sync with his corporate enterprise. Which is to say that they have cratered in historic fashion, settling at or near the bottom of his placing since his reoccupation of the White House. As reported by Newsweek…

“Trump’s approval rating remained at the lowest level since his term started in January [40%]. His popularity has been within a percentage point or two of its current level in every Reuters/Ipsos poll since mid-May. The share of people who say they disapprove of his performance has grown, from 52% in a May 16-18 poll to 58% in the latest survey.”

This translates electorally to disaster for Trump and the GOP. Recent polls show that 44% of Democrats said they were “very enthusiastic” about voting in the November 3, 2026, elections, compared with 26% of Republicans, who appear to be severely depressed and disillusioned. And the percent of Democrats who said that the Party had “lost its way” declined by 10 points since August. Which suggests that their decision to “cave,” as some have described it, in order to end the Trump Shutdown not only hasn’t hurt them, it may have helped.

None of this should surprise anyone who has been paying attention to Trump’s financial and political status in recent months that has been anything but promising. What follows is a brief summary of the disaster we know has Trump World…

Trump’s Truth Social AI is Woke AF: Even His Own Social Media App Hates Him
Truth Social’s Artificial Intelligence app is going woke. It is actually telling the truth about Trump and contradicting his flagrant lies on numerous subjects.

The Trump Media and Technology Group (Truth Social) Scam Reflects His Fondness for Fraud
During an interview on CNBC, Trump complained that he has been treated “very badly” by banks that he alleged were discriminating against him. Of course that might be because of the 34 felony convictions he has for defrauding banks. Not to mention a civil lawsuit finding of liability that cost him about half a billion dollars.

Trump’s Truth Social is Creating ‘Non-Woke’ Investment Portfolios for MAGA Cult Investors/Dupes
The focus of the Trump investment portfolios rests on buzzwords plucked from his political rhetoric. And what could possibly have more income potential than “non-woke” enterprises that pursue the anti-democratic goals of the MAGA movement?

Truth Social, Trump’s Pathetic Personal Propaganda Platform, Continues to Bleed Cash
In what may be the least surprising news of the year so far, Donald Trump’s flagship social media enterprise, Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG) – the parent holding company of his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social – released its annual report on Friday that revealed just how big a failure it is.

Trump’s Truth Social is Shedding Users Like a Miserable Childless Woman’s Mangy Cat
The Donald Trump-controlled Truth Social platform recorded its third straight month of declining traffic. Truth Social attracted 2,112,000 unique visitors, down 38% compared to June 2023 when the site generated 3,407,000 unique visitors. It was the platform’s second worst traffic performance since June 2022 when Truth Social had only 1,891,000 unique visitors.

Trump’s associates in his truthless, anti-social media venture were arrested and charged with insider trading. Reports indicate that “the three individuals together made more than $22 million in illegal profits.”

Truth Social Disease: Ads on Trump’s Twitter Ripoff are Mostly Scams and Trump-Fluffing Merch
Advertisers are afraid of their ads being juxtaposed with hate speech and other noxious content. Consequently, the only advertisers who are willing to shell out are sketchy scammers, conspiracy theorists, and junk peddlers.

Trump Threatens Republicans to Gerrymander Red States With a Flurry of Downright Deranged Lies

Posted by on November 17, 2025 at 1:15 pm. 2 Comments :

When Donald Trump told his supporters in his 2015 campaign that if they voted for him they would soon become “sick and tired of winning,” he was partly right. They are becoming sick and tired. But on the heels of his disastrous and record breaking government shutdown, he and the GOP are being held accountable for the turmoil, chaos, and suffering that it caused.

Donald Trump Sweating

The election results earlier this month were another warning sign for Trump and the Republican Party that they are sinking fast in the minds of the American people. He lost in virtually every contest despite his frenzied politicking. Trump’s focus on extraneous matters that are of interest only to him and his most MAGA-tized cult followers predictably alienated most voters.

SEE THIS: Republicans Learn Nothing From Their Electoral Spanking, but Trump Learns to Savor Dictatorship

Consequently, Trump is now turning in desperation to efforts to rig the 2026 election by grossly gerrymandering districts in Republican states. He knows that he can’t win by campaigning on his achievements or agenda. So he posted the following threat aimed at his fellow Republicans on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social.

“I will be strongly endorsing against any State Senator or House member from the Great State of Indiana that votes against the Republican Party, and our Nation, by not allowing for Redistricting for Congressional seats in the United States House of Representatives as every other State in our Nation is doing, Republican or Democrat. Democrats are trying to steal our seats everywhere, and we’re not going to let this happen! This all began with the Rigged Census. We must keep the Majority at all costs. Republicans must fight back!”

First of all, Trump’s crusade to turn red states even redder is an admission that he’s losing and has to resort to cheating. He’s too scared to let voters make their own choices for who they want to represent them. What’s more, it is wholly improper for him to inject himself into the electoral affairs of the sovereign states. But he was just getting started. His comment consists of several brazenly dishonest, and frankly demented, assertions that deserve further scrutiny. For instance, Trump says that…

  • “Every every other State in our Nation is” redistricting.
    Actually, it’s only 13 states. And more Republican (8), than Democratic (5).
  • “Democrats are trying to steal our seats everywhere.”
    However, it was Trump and the GOP who started it in Texas. Democrats still prefer independently drawn districts and are only trying to level the playing field.
  • “This all began with the Rigged Census.”
    The last census was conducted in 2020, when Trump was occupying the White House. So is he confessing that he rigged it, but just did it badly?
  • “We must keep the Majority at all costs.”
    That’s a frightening position that reeks of totalitarianism and suggests that it includes breaking the law and engaging in violence.
  • “Republicans must fight back!”
    As noted above, Republicans were the initiators. It is Democrats who must fight back.

Despite his determination to undermine democracy, Trump and his Republican confederates may be surprised by the election results next November. Many of the districts that they rejiggered to favor themselves weakened their advantage in adjacent districts, while failing to sufficiently improve their position in the new districts. They could end up losing both.

Furthermore, they based their redrawing of the maps on 2024 election data where many Latinos were swayed by Trump’s economic promises that he has not come close to fulfilling. Consequently, recent polling shows that Latinos are shifting back into the Democratic column, which would seriously screw up the GOP’s new maps. This was confirmed by CNN’s poll analyst, Harry Enten who reported that…

“Donald Trump’s net approval rating on immigration among Latinos. He is 38 points underwater. That is a 36 point shift from where we were a year ago. […] Whatever Donald Trump is doing in office in the minds of Latinos, it is not working. They have turned against him in massive, massive numbers.”

No wonder Trump is resorting to threatening his own party members. Trump’s loss of support among the public is translating to the loss of support in his party. There was always going to be a tipping point where Republican members of Congress would be more afraid of their voters than they are of Trump. We may be at that point now.

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.

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.

PROPAGANDA WORKS! Fox News and Other MAGA Media Deliver Disciples for Dear Leader Trump (Poll)

Posted by on October 22, 2025 at 2:50 pm. 0 Comments :

The United States as led by His MAGA-sty, Donald Trump, is suffering one of its most serious challenges since the Civil War. In many respects the current crisis embodies some of the same threats that tore the nation apart in that deadly and divisive conflagration. The Trump driven turmoil that America is undergoing today is ripping apart families over political and moral differences, and interpretations of law and principle.

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

Donald Trump, Fox News, Lies

Trump and his Republican Party have taken the lead in disparaging Democrats and even Republicans who fail to be sufficiently worshipful of Trump. And it is not merely the divergence of opinion that is common in a healthy democracy. The MAGA-tists have embarked on a crusade that mirrors the hostilities that resulted in the Battle of the States almost 200 years ago. Their invectives and lies are off the charts crazy.

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

A new poll by the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) sheds additional light on the severity and the causes of the division in American political life. And, not surprisingly, much of the responsibility lies with the media. The poll found that…

“Americans who most trust far-right news, including Newsmax and One America News, for accurate political information show the highest level of approval of Trump’s job as president (92%), followed by 86% who most trust Fox News. Smaller majorities of Americans who most trust the radio (67%) and who do not trust any media source also approve (61%). Far fewer Americans who most trust YouTube or podcasts (46%), social media (42%), mainstream TV news (25%), and newspapers (19%) approve of the job Trump is doing as president.”

In short, viewers of Fox News, OAN, Newsmax, and other MAGA media, are by far the most likely to believe the flagrant lies that prop up Trump’s public image. Those viewers are the glassy-eyed cult followers who regard Trump as a pseudo-deity who can do no wrong. And the reason they buy into that nonsense is that it is all that they are exposed to from the pro-Trump propaganda sources that they hungrily consume.

The poll delved deeply into a broad array of other political subjects and where Trump fit in. Or more pointedly, failed to fit in. For instance…

  • A majority of Americans agree “President Trump is a dangerous dictator whose power should be limited before he destroys American democracy” (56%).
  • A majority of Americans (56%) disapprove of the job Donald Trump is doing as president, compared with 42% who approve.
  • Americans who most trust far-right news show the highest level of approval of Trump’s job handling the Epstein files at 70%, followed by 68% who most trust Fox News.
  • Six in ten Americans (62%) believe things in the country are going in the wrong direction, including most Democrats (92%) and independents (71%), compared with 24% of Republicans.
  • Majorities say that the cuts in federal funding of health care programs (60%)…have gone too far.
  • Republicans (22%) are more likely than independents (16%) and Democrats (12%) to agree that political violence may be necessary to save the country.
  • Most Americans agree that “What President Trump is doing to the federal government is an assault on constitutional checks and balances and the rule of law” (54%).

While it is comforting to see that most of the American people reject Trump and his aspirational authoritarian agenda, it is troubling that there are still a fair number of weak willed citizens who are so easily misled. And the fact that they are swayed by the deliberately dishonest right-wing media is a disconcerting affirmation of the power of propaganda.

If the American experiment is to endure, there must be a solution to the harm posed by media that is purposefully lying on behalf of special interests, both political and financial. That solution must be careful not to step on the right of free speech. And while the right to speak may be practiced freely, it is not necessarily free of rebuttal or consequences if it deliberately causes harm.

Part of the solution was demonstrated in the $787 million settlement that Fox News had to pay to Dominion Voting Systems for defamation. There needs to be more of that. And it needs to hold individuals like Trump accountable as well. Because the more that liars in politics and media are held to a higher standard, the fewer opportunities evildoers will have to create the chaos that empowers the perpetrators of propaganda.

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

Posted by on October 7, 2025 at 12:17 pm. 2 Comments :

Nothing is more devastating to Donald Trump than any affront to his massive yet fragile ego. He is perpetually obsessed with numbers related to his public profile: crowd size, ratings and polls. And he refers to them incessantly, generally citing only those that are flagrantly biased in his favor, misrepresenting their findings, or simply making them up.

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

Donald Trump, Stock Market

Lately Trump has taken a special interest in late night comedy shows on TV. Particularly Jimmy Kimmel Live, whose program Trump managed to get suspended for a few days because Kimmel dared to tell jokes that revealed the truth about Trump. When Kimmel was brought back on Trump suffered a severe emotional breakdown, manifesting in a barrage of typically Trumpian insults and threats…

SEE THIS: Toddler Trump Throws Tantrum, Threatens to Sue ABC for Restoring Jimmy Kimmel and Free Speech

Ever since his return to the air, Kimmel has demonstrated that he has not been intimidated by the Trump regime and has no intention of softening his comedic approach to the Crybaby-in-Chief. On Monday night Kimmel’s monologue (video below) featured a poll wherein Trump was soundly beaten by Kimmel in approval ratings. This is just the sort of news that leads to a Trump meltdown. Kimmel began by saying that…

“According to YouGov, which is a serious polling site, I am more popular than the president of the United States. Remember the guy who keeps saying I have no ratings? Well, that makes two of us.

“They polled more than a 1,000 people and I lead Trump by 16 points. I’m at plus 3, he’s at minus 13. It’s nice, but considering the fact that I’m not a convicted felon, a friend of Jeffrey Epstein, and I’ve never paid off a porn star, or sent a team of masked goons into a park to pull an old lady away from her grandchildren, I feel like my rating should be higher maybe than this. At this point finding a toenail in your salad has a 7 point lead over Donald Trump.”

JIMMY KIMMEL BEATS TRUMP!"According to YouGov, which is a serious polling site, I am more popular than the president of the United States. Remember the guy who keeps saying I have no ratings? Well, that makes two of us."

OUCH! Kimmel makes a good point about his ratings being the low side despite the fact that he isn’t a repulsive slimeball with a criminal record. Kimmel still surpasses Trump handily even after all of Trump’s slanderous outrage and relentless and defamatory efforts to muddy up Kimmel’s reputation. And yet, Kimmel continues to take the high road and express a little sympathy for poor baby Trump…

“I hope he doesn’t see this. You know I don’t like to upset him. But I think he might be upset because the White House put out a statement this afternoon – this is a real statement.

‘Over 77 million Americans showed up on election day to cast their ballots for president Donald J. Trump, who is delivering on his overwhelming mandate to put America first. Jimmy Kimmel prays every night to garner a fraction of that support to keep his show on air after ratings dropped 64% last week. Sad!’

“You know what else is sad? That the president of the United States has a lower approval rating than Diddy and diarrhea. That’s what’s sad. If he’s looking to improve his approval ratings, I have an idea. Release the Epstein files.”

Trump is unlikely to take Kimmel’s advice. But that’s only because he knows that his name is plastered all over the pages of the Epstein files. Which is also why Trump is constantly trying to change the subject to distract the American people. He’s sending military troops to invade several peaceful American cities. He’s blowing up possibly innocent fisherman in the Caribbean. And he orchestrated a government shutdown that will cause real harm for millions of Americans.

But at least they won’t be talking about the Epstein files. Oh, wait. They still are.

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

Posted by on October 2, 2025 at 1:09 pm. 0 Comments :

Now that Donald Trump has succeeded in implementing his government shutdown, the blame game in Washington D.C. has reached a fever pitch. Naturally, Democrats are blaming Republicans, and Republicans are blaming immigrants – and, oh yeah, Democrats.

Donald Trump

The Republican messaging is rife with flagrant lies about what Democrats want in order to pass the budget legislation. They insist that Democrats are demanding free healthcare for “illegal aliens.” That’s a lie. There are zero Democrats proposing that. But Republicans have decided that this will be their sole talking point because they couldn’t care less about ending the shutdown. In fact, they are rejoicing in it, and even bragging that it is helping them to achieve some of their long term goals.

However, the American people have other ideas. They are opposed to Trump and his GOP cohorts allowing healthcare costs to rise to exorbitantly unaffordable levels. As reported by CNN, a new poll by the Washington Post finds that…

“Seven in ten Americans side with Democrats in saying that Obamacare subsidies should be extended. {Adding that} “A lot more people are blaming the president and congressional Republicans than Democrats. [47% to 30%]”

Rep. Rich McCormick dismisses a Washington Post poll showing Americans are blaming Republicans for the shutdown: "Polling is not very accurate because the pollsters generally get out of it what they want. I don't trust those polls."

Meanwhile, over on Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, viewers got a morsel of truth from Democratic strategist Dan Kanninen. He told Fox’s Brian Roberts that…

“This month, if the ACA tax credits do not go forward, which is what the shutdown is about…viewers on this network who are 60 years old and making $75,000 a year, will see $841.00 increases monthly to the health insurance premiums.”

Republicans were hoping that they could shove this shutdown down America’s throat and make Democrats take the heat for it. But the American people are smarter than Republicans thought. And the GOP haven’t helped themselves with statements by their Dear Leader that reveal how thrilled he is with the shutdown that will cause severe harm to millions. He posted on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, that…

“I have a meeting today with Russ Vought, he of PROJECT 2025 Fame, to determine which of the many Democrat Agencies, most of which are a political SCAM…I can’t believe the Radical Left Democrats gave me this unprecedented opportunity.”

That comment is not only an expression of appreciation for the shutdown, but Trump is threatening to cut only “Democratic Agencies,” which is an openly partisan, and potentially illegal admission. He also reveals that he knows well about the authoritarian handbook “Project 2025,” that he has been denying any knowledge of for months.

What’s more, his Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, was also on Fox News touting Trump’s position on the shutdown and the grossly adverse consequences of it. She laid out a threat that is reminiscent of Mafia lingo in a futile attempt to coerce Democrats into submission, saying…

“Democrats should know that they put the White House and the president in this position. And if they don’t want further harm on their constituents back home, then they need to reopen the government. It’s very simple.”

Karoline Leavitt tells Fox News that Democrats must comply with Trump's demands. This is mob talk: Do what we say and your constituents won't be harmed!Why doesn't Trump agree with Democrats to stop skyrocketing healthcare costs to prevent further harm to his constituents? It's very simple.

Maybe Trump and the Republicans are the ones who should reopen the government, since they are the majority party in Congress with the power and obligation to do so. Or are they cool with harming their constituents back home? Clearly it’s the latter. Why else would Trump and company be moving so quickly and gleefully to dispense their harm?

GOOD NEWS: Trump is ‘Swimming with the Fishes’ According to the Aggregate of His Dismal Polling

Posted by on September 8, 2025 at 1:21 pm. 2 Comments :

Ever since Donald Trump’s reoccupation of the White House, he has been profoundly despised by the majority of the American people. Virtually every poll taken in the past few months has shown him with pitifully high disapproval ratings that are unmatched by any other modern president, except for Trump in his first term.

Donald Trump Walking the Plank

The disgust of the voters is understandable considering his policies that have been explicitly aimed at hurting average Americans, while benefitting the wealthy and corporations. He has cut taxes for the rich, while cutting benefits for everyone else, including Medicare and health insurance. He has exacerbated climate change. He has abandoned our democratic allies around the world. He has imposed tariffs that worsen inflation. And he has deployed the military against us in our own homes.

SEE THIS: Trump Threatens to Send His StormTrumpers to N.Y., L.A., and Chicago, Where Crime is Declining

The consequences of these wildly unpopular positions has been the rapid decomposition of whatever support Trump had from voters who were concerned about the rising cost of living. And this has not gone unnoticed by CNN’s polling analyst, Harry Enten. In a segment on Monday morning Enten delivered the good news about Trump’s bad state of affairs…

“Look at the aggregate of the polls and look how long Donald Trump’s net approval rating has been negative. It has been every day since March 12th in the average of polls. We’re talking about 181 days in a row in which Donald Trump has been underwater, swimming with the fishes. There is no good data for Donald Trump when looking at the aggregate and looking overall. He has been negative for a very long period of time, the vast majority of his second presidency.”

Enten: “Look how long Donald Trump’s net approval rating has been negative — every day since March 12. We’re talking about 181 days in a row in which Trump has been under water swimming with the fishes. There is no good data for Trump. Look at the issues. Trump is under water on all of them.”

In addition to the rock bottom numbers for Trump personally, he is also in desperate condition on all of the most important matters facing the nation. On trade, due to his ridiculous tariffs, Trump is at a negative 17. On the economy he is at a negative 14; On foreign policy he’s down to a negative 12. And the two issues that he most closely aligned himself with, immigration and crime, he’s showing a negative three and two respectively.

There isn’t a positive number in the bunch. But that doesn’t stop him from claiming to have the highest polling numbers ever. Whether that’s just Trump lying again, or it’s a symptom of his severely delusional malignant narcissism, is hard to tell. But it really doesn’t matter. Either way it is harmful to the nation and justification for his involuntary removal from office. And the sooner the better.

The American people have already decided that Trump is unfit for office. They are opposed to his policies. And they are repulsed by his character, or lack thereof. And his refusal to come clean about his unsavory relationship with Jeffrey Epstein isn’t helping.
