Most Americans Are Fed Up With Trump’s Lies About Taxes and Spending According to Fox News Poll

Posted by on April 9, 2026 at 2:08 pm. 0 Comments :

IT’S TAX TIME! And the American people are contemplating just how much they have suffered during the reoccupation of the White House by America’s most affluent authoritarian, Donald Trump. Despite his campaign promises to lower the cost of living on day one, to solve what he called an immigration crisis, and to refrain from starting any new wars, Trump has failed to fulfill a single pledge made after fourteen months in office.

To the contrary, Americans are paying more for everything from groceries to gasoline to housing to healthcare. They have been terrorized in their own neighborhoods by Trump’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) thugs. And the nation is currently embroiled in a reckless and illegal war against Iran that Trump has failed to coherently justify or provide an exit strategy for. No wonder his approval ratings are in the toilet. Even according to recent polls by his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News…

SEE THIS: UH-OH! Fox News Poll Spells DOOM for Trump and His MAGA Republicans in Congress

Trump isn’t a big fan of polls that don’t show him as adoringly worshipped by 110% majorities of the people. And he has been critical of Fox News for occasionally publishing polls that reveal his weaknesses. So expect him to be in a foul mood if his nursemaids show him the latest survey from Fox News that asked voters what they think of their tax burdens since he returned to office. According to Fox News…

“With the deadline to file taxes a week away, a record number of voters say their taxes are too high, according to the latest Fox News Poll. They are also bothered by the rich not paying their fair share and how the government uses their money. In addition, three-quarters feel government spending is wasteful — up almost 20 points since last year. […] A record 70% of voters think the taxes they pay are too high — up 11 points from last March and surpassing the previous high of 64% in March 2024.”

These are abysmal numbers that reflect Trump’s ignorance, as well as the deliberate malevolence of his policies. He never intended to serve the interests of the average American. He was always focused solely on enriching himself and his billionaire buddies. So, mission accomplished. Consequently, these results shouldn’t surprise anyone.

The respondents to this survey cannot be dismissed as simply being whining malcontents who would complain about their taxes whatever they were. They are having valid reactions to the reality that they are encountering. Their dissatisfaction is borne out in a recent study by the non-partisan Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy that found that…

“President Trump has raised taxes on most Americans in ways that more than offset the tax cuts he has signed into law. The net effect this year of all his tax policies is to increase taxes on the average American in all income groups aside from the richest 5 percent.” […]

“For a large majority of Americans, the tax increase resulting from Trump’s tariffs, along with the ending of the health care tax credits, more than offsets any tax cuts provided by OBBBA (One Big Beautiful Bill Act).”

Additional findings in the Fox News poll reveal that “What bothers people most about federal income taxes is the wealthy are not paying enough,” and that “Disapproval of how President Trump is handling taxes has reached a record high of 64%, up 11 points from a year ago.” Also, while three-quarters of Democrats, Republicans, and independents say that “a significant share of government spending is wasteful and inefficient,” for some reason 69% of Republicans rate Trump positively for his handling of government waste. That is in contrast to “nearly all Democrats (90%) and a large majority of independents (80%) [who say he] is not doing a good job.”

None of this augers well for Trump and his MAGA Republicans in the upcoming midterm elections. Most analysts are now predicting that Democrats will likely end up with majorities in both the House and the Senate. In other words, Trump’s taxation may result in better representation. And if that happens, Trump and his MAGA comrades will be facing political and legal accountability in – as Trump would say – levels they have never seen before.

Trump Desperately Clings to Wildly Adoring Polls, Doesn’t Mention They Only Polled His Supporters

Posted by on March 31, 2026 at 3:06 pm. 0 Comments :

The raging egomania of Donald Trump is often revealed in his pitifully deranged behavior. He has a habit of declaring that everything he does or says surpasses the meager activities of mere mortals “on a level that has never been seen before.” It’s remarkable how one person can be so extraordinarily superior to everyone else on the planet so consistently.

Donald Trump

Trump’s messianic view of himself comes across to most people as severely psychotic. But his glassy-eyed cult disciples embrace him as a manifestation of the divine. They are bound to accept his every pronouncement as gospel, and his every decree as holy. That’s the nature of a cult. And Trump is their Dear Leader who closely monitors their devotion to insure their unflinching loyalty.

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

To that end, Trump repeatedly misleads his cult followers by trying to convince them that he is universally adored. Nothing could be farther from the truth. His approval ratings are so deeply underwater that even Fox News can’t ignore it. So Trump resorts to collecting blatantly biased polls and presenting them as credible.

MORE HERE: UH-OH! Fox News Poll Spells DOOM for Trump and His MAGA Republicans in Congress

On Tuesday Trump posted three such polls on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social. The polls were conducted by the notoriously partisan McLaughlin & Associates. The results of these surveys say that Trump’s use of tariffs are approved by 91% of the survey’s respondents. Also, Trump’s decision to use military force in Iran is approved by 89%. Also, Trump arresting Venezuelan Dictator Nicolas Maduro is approved by 92%. On every one of those issues credible polls show Trump with overwhelmingly negative numbers.

In none of Trump’s posts did he bother to mention that the polls he posted were all taken at the recent CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) conference. CPAC is a convention of far right Republicans that featured guest speakers like Steve Bannon, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, ICE Director Tom Homan, Matt Gaetz, FCC Chair Brendan Carr, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, Mike Lindell, and, well you get the idea. It’s a convention of Trump-fluffers, by Trump-fluffers, for Trump-fluffers.

Some other results of the CPAC poll include Trump’s overall approval at 96%. And 94% say that Trump is “the best President in my lifetime.” Most of the more credible pollsters have Trump’s approval in record low territory that dips below 40%.

Trump, however, wants his cult devotees to believe that they are part of a massive contingent of patriots who want to make American great again, when they are actually a pathetic klan of kooks and crybabies who just want to blame their problems on minorities, immigrants, and the liberals who actually do make America great. So to rope in his MAGA-tists, Trump openly lies about his support. And this instance with the CPAC polls isn’t the first time. Just 10 days ago…

This is a desperation play by Trump. He knows that he is widely despised and that his MAGA GOP comrades in Congress are about to lose their majority status to Democrats. That will put Trump in the uncomfortable position of being vulnerable to honest and competent oversight for a change. And honesty and competence are two things that Trump is totally unfamiliar with, and intensely afraid of. The White House is going to have to stock up on ketchup bottles and other throwing items between now and November.

UH-OH! Fox News Poll Spells DOOM for Trump and His MAGA Republicans in Congress

Posted by on March 27, 2026 at 1:55 pm. 0 Comments :

Less than a year and a half ago, Donald Trump managed to eke out a narrow victory and return to his occupation of the White House. And it didn’t take long for him to successfully sink the electoral prospects of his blindly obedient MAGA minions in what can now be called the Republican Cult.

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

Donald Trump, Fox News, White House

Trump’s agenda of imposing unlawful and inflationary tariffs that increased the cost of everything from groceries, to gasoline, to housing, to healthcare, and more, were just the beginning of his assault on the American people. He followed that up with deployments of his ICE StormTrumpers in U.S. cities. Then he decided to wage an unprovoked and illegal war against Iran. And all the while disgorging virulent hate speech intended to divide the American people.

SEE THIS: Trump Unleashes a Manic Tirade Attacking Those He Says are America’s Greatest Enemy – Democrats?

The first year of Trump’s second term could not have been more politically crippling if he had devised it deliberately to destroy the GOP. His approval ratings have broken through the basement floor and are heading toward the Earth’s burning core. And this isn’t the opinion of what he calls the “radical left lunatics” in the mainstream media. Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, just a released a poll that found him floundering.

Fox published their results in an article declaring that “Sour voters say Washington is out of touch.” That headline actually bails Trump out by suggesting that it it isn’t his fault that everything sucks. It’s those “sour” voters. But the rest of the article wasn’t as gentle.

The article began by noting that “Voters are not only dissatisfied with the direction of the country but also pessimistic about the economic outlook.” The poll found that “Nearly two-thirds, 64%, are dissatisfied [and] that’s the highest dissatisfaction rating of President Trump’s second term.” Then the article elaborated saying that…

“His worst numbers are on inflation, with a new low of 28% approving […] His 34% approval for the economy is another new low, down 6 points since January and 9 points from a year ago. Other ratings are also well underwater: healthcare (36% approve, 64% disapprove), Iran (36-64), taxes (36-64), foreign policy (38-62), and immigration (44-56).”

Trump is unlikely to be able to improve on any of that between now and the midterm elections in November. One important reason for that is that he isn’t even trying to. To the contrary, he is doubling down on his widely opposed domestic policies by insisting that everything is the best it’s ever been in the history of mankind. And he’s celebrating his war in Iran as a “little excursion” that he says he won in the first hour, three weeks ago. Which begs the question, why is he still fighting, and even escalating, with thousands of troops being deployed to the Middle East, and requests for $200 billion more in funding?

It’s tempting to muse that, with regard to Trump, “When you’ve lost Fox News…” But Trump has never been satisfied with the polling by Fox. He frequently goes on the network to whine about their polls that sometimes put him in a negative light. But Fox News remains his mass media mouthpiece. And polls like these will rarely turn up on the primetime shows that Trump watches. So most of his cult followers will never see these numbers. However, here’s an example that snuck through during a daytime program…

Fox News may be accepting the reality that Trump is a mentally impaired loser whose star is fading. More likely, they realize that their audience is already aware of how dismal their lives are without Fox or Trump trying to persuade them that they are prosperous and happy. In any event, expect Trump to chastise Fox for having the audacity to post these poll results. He will surely regard it as an act of betrayal, and he might even sic his FCC boss on them with impotent threats of revoking their licenses (that don’t exist).

Pete Hegseth Grasps at Fantasy that Americans Back Trump’s Iran War, While Attacking the Media

Posted by on March 19, 2026 at 1:45 pm. 0 Comments :

There is an old adage among lawyers that says, “If you have the facts on your side, pound the facts; if you have the law on your side, pound the law; if you have neither the facts nor the law, pound the table.” Now we can add the Trump corollary to that which would end with “if you have neither the facts nor the law, pound the media.”

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

Donald Trump baby and Pete Hegseth

Actually, in Trump’s world he would probably say to pound the media even if you have the facts and the law on your side. Pounding the media is the first response to virtually every dilemma that Trump or his toadies face. He is so entirely incapable of forming a coherent thought that attacking the press is just easier and, for him, more personally satisfying.

SEE THIS: Trump Brags About Getting Fascist Control of the Media in Bonkers Truth Social Post

Naturally, Trump’s Cabinet follows the same unprincipled path of anti-constitutional dismissal of the free press. His Minister of War Crimes, Pete Hegseth, held a press harangue on Thursday morning to rant about (and at) the media for their audacity in covering Trump’s war against Iran accurately. Hegseth looked directly into the assembled cameras, pointing his finger at them, and bellowed that…

“I stand here today speaking to you, the American people. Not through filters. Not through reporters. Not through cable news spin. A dishonest and anti-Trump press will stop at nothing to downplay progress, amplify every cost, and call into question every step. Sadly, TDS is in their DNA. They want president Trump to fail. But you, the American people, know better.”

Trump's Minister of War Crimes, Pete Hegseth, attacks the media because he has no facts to support his illegal war against Iran. So he whines about the press asking legitimate questions:"They [the media] want Trump to fail. But you, the American people, know better."Ummm, OK.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-03-19T17:42:28.346Z

First of all, Hegseth’s insistence that he wasn’t speaking through reporters is downright hysterical considering that he was literally speaking through reporters. Well, at least a few among the MAGA-friendly hacks that he allows into the press room. Or did he think that the American people were all in the room with him?

What’s more, Hegseth’s whining that the media would “call into question every step” that the administration takes is a pathetic complaint that just reveals his ignorance of the fact that it is the media’s job to question any administration. Or does he think that the press should be blind sycophants who adore everything Dear Leader does and says? (You don’t have to answer that).

It was, however, generous of Hegseth to leave it up to the American people to decide for themselves what they think about Trump’s “little excursion” into Iran that has already cost 13 American lives, more than 1,400 Iranians, and cost over $12 billion dollars. On top of that, Trump is now asking for $200 billion more. For what he doesn’t actually say.

The American people have made their disapproval of all of that well known in numerous polls, with big majorities opposing the action. Furthermore, another survey shows that Trump’s handling of the war is also a disaster, with his approval on Iran at a dismal 36%, and disapproval at 56%. In the same survey his personal approval hits a new low at only 35%.

Not to worry though. Trump is buoyed by the glassy-eyed adoration of his cult following MAGA minions. A poll of their support for Trump came in at an astoundingly high 100%. Never mind that the MAGA mob makes up a paltry 27% of American voters. And their hive-minded uniformity affirms that MAGA is hopelessly brainwashed. In fact, IT’S A CULT! And it is that groveling gaggle that Hegseth is actually speaking to through the media that he and Trump despise.

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.

SO MUCH WINNING? Trump’s State of the Union Ratings Ranks Near the Bottom for the Past 25 Years

Posted by on February 26, 2026 at 1:18 pm. 0 Comments :

On Tuesday Donald Trump delivered what many are saying was the most unhinged, hostile, and lie-riddled State of the Union address (SOTU) that he – or anyone – has ever given. It was, therefore, a typical display of his acutely warped persona that is permanently set to eleven on the scale of presidential derangement.

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

Donald Trump Walking the Plank

Trump may have regarded this exercise in self-aggrandizement, infantile insults, and flagrant dishonesty, to be his best opportunity to reverse the downward trending of his presidency. Most polls show him at record lows for approval, and he is surely being eaten up by the fact that he is even trailing his arch nemesis, Joe Biden.

SEE THIS: CUE TRUMP TANTRUM: Multiple Polls Find that Most Americans Favor Biden Over Trump

Now another metric of success that Trump regards as the most important of all is flashing bright red signals of disaster. His television ratings for the speech have come in near the bottom for all SOTU speeches for the past 25 years. According to the Hollywood Reporter…

“Trump’s 107-minute speech (the longest on record) drew about 27.8 million viewers across the seven most watched broadcast and cable outlets: ABC, CBS, CNN, Fox News, the Fox broadcast network, MS Now and NBC. That’s down by about 12 percent from 31.45 million viewers for those same networks for Trump’s address to Congress last year. […] Fox News led the way with 9.1 million viewers.”

The only years where Trump was not dead last were one for Biden in 2021 during COVID, and another for Biden in 2023 when inflation hit its peak at about 8%. Note that inflation at that time was higher worldwide than in the U.S., and that Biden brought it down to about 3% before his term ended. Whereupon his last SOTU rebounded to be higher than Trump again. Here are the numbers…

  • 2026 (Trump): 27.8 million*
  • 2025 (Trump): 31.45 million#
  • 2024 (Biden): 32.2 million
  • 2023 (Biden): 27.3 million
  • 2022 (Biden): 38.2 million*
  • 2021 (Biden): 26.9 million#
  • 2020 (Trump): 37.2 million
  • 2019 (Trump): 46.8 million
  • 2018 (Trump): 45.6 million*
  • 2017 (Trump): 47.7 million#
  • 2016 (Obama): 31.3 million
  • 2015: (Obama): 31.7 million
  • 2014: (Obama): 33.3 million*
  • 2013: (Obama): 33.5 million
  • 2012: (Obama): 37.8 million
  • 2011: (Obama): 42.8 million
  • 2010: (Obama): 48. million*
  • 2009: (Obama): 52.4 million#
  • 2008: (Bush): 37.5 million
  • 2007: (Bush): 45.5 million
  • 2006: (Bush): 41.7 million*
  • 2005: (Bush): 38.4 million
  • 2004: (Bush): 43.4 million
  • 2003: (Bush): 62.1 million
  • # Joint Session of Congress
  • * Ratings for a speech preceding a midterm election like the current one.

Given Trump’s sub-par performance, both with ratings and the substance of his speech, it is highly unlikely that it will have any positive impact on the upcoming midterm elections. Although some negative impact could be felt. And the post-speech surveys bear that out…

If Trump thinks that his lie-riddled, hostile State of the Union speech is going to boost his approval ratings, he is gonna be sorely disappointed. Followed by a massive meltdown and more totalitarian raving.CNN poll: "This was actually his least well-received speech."

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-02-25T18:59:35.150Z

For those of you who missed, or more likely deliberately avoided, the speech, Jimmy Kimmel has helpfully provided a summary version of it that should be all anyone would need. His “State of the Union in 60 Seconds” includes Trump insisting that there has just been “too much winning.” Which is not validated by the polls or ratings. We also see him shouting at the Democrats in the chamber that “These people are crazy.” It’s rather bizarre to see Trump heckling Democrats from the podium, while he whines about being heckled from the audience.

In conclusion, it’s safe to say that Republicans are headed for a massive blowout in November. Although, don’t let that make you work less diligently to topple Trump and his MAGA Republicans. If Democrats and other patriots stay committed, the result will be, in technical terms, that “TRUMP IS TOAST!” And America – and the world – will be all the better for it.

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

Posted by on February 23, 2026 at 1:46 pm. 0 Comments :

Every public appearance by Donald Trump is an opportunity for him to disseminate another bunch of flagrant falsehoods that are designed to manufacture a fantasy world wherein he is not merely a strong leader, but the savior of all mankind. He desperately yearns to be perceived as the infallible and divinely anointed Messiah of MAGA.

Consequently, the annual State of Union address is a profoundly significant event that has the potential to make or break a president, depending on how they perform, and how the public perceives it. In Trump’s case it is another chance to deceive America with ludicrous claims of fictitious accomplishments, rancid insults aimed at his many perceived political enemies, tiresome repetitions of imagined offenses, and egomaniacal exaltations of his delusional magnificence.

SEE THIS: CUE TRUMP TANTRUM: Multiple Polls Find that Most Americans Favor Biden Over Trump

Naturally, Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, is feverishly working to promote Dear Leader prior to his big day before Congress and the nation. And who better than Fox’s Senior Trump-Fluffer, Maria Bartiromo, to spearhead the effort to pump up Trump. So on her morning program on Monday she unloaded this bit of buffoonery…

“It’s incredible to me that it appears to be that the Democrats are so angry about President Trump’s success – he’s been so successful on so many levels and has done things so fast – that now the Democrats are boycotting the State of the Union. Adam Schiff, Mr. Russia Collusion himself, said he’s not gonna show up to the State of the Union tomorrow night.”

Maria Bartiromo: "It's incredible to me that it appears to be that the Democrats are so angry about President Trump's success, he's been so successful on so many levels and has done things so fast that now the Democrats are boycotting the State of the Union."

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-02-23T13:15:45.524Z

Bartiromo is right. Trump has been incredibly successful. At exacerbating inflation; at raising the cost of living for everyone but the rich; at causing healthcare premiums to skyrocket; at terrorizing law-abiding residents of Democratic run cities; at decimating regulations that mitigate the harm of Climate Change; at blowing up boats with potentially innocent fisherman in the Caribbean; at alienating America’s international allies, while embracing authoritarian foes; at undermining the First Amendment and suppressing the free press; and at destroying the Republican Party and any hopes they had of maintaining their majorities in Congress.

What’s more, Bartiromo is demonstrating that she is just as out of touch with the American people as Trump is. She appears to be utterly unaware that Trump’s standing among voters is historically low. On Monday morning CNN’s polling analyst, Harry Enten, observed that Trump is floundering in deeply negative territory.

“Trump’s net approval rating, look at all the pre-SOTU polls…negative 27 points…Compare that to where he was in 2020, 2019, and 2018, in term one going into those State of the Unions…way lower now. The bottom line is this: Donald Trump has never been weaker going into a State of the Union address, according to our CNN polling, than he is right now. And weaker by a considerable amount. [And] Trump isn’t just weaker than he’s ever been going into a State of the Union address, he’s weaker than any other president this century going into a State of the Union address at this point in their second term.”

Enten: "Trump's net approval rating. Look at the pre-SOTU polls. Look at that — negative 27 points! My goodness gracious. Compare that to where he was in 2020, 2019, and 2017 — minus 10, way lower now. The bottom line is Donald Trump has never been weaker going into a State of the Union."

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-02-23T13:35:59.999Z

Bartiromo is obviously taking her cues from Trump himself. He is fervently gaslighting the nation, telling reporters on Monday that “We have the greatest economy we’ve ever had.” But with nonsense like that he’s just reminding voters, who know better, that he is woefully out of touch with their lives. Democrats are likely to be hoping that he keeps telling these lies, because he’s really helping their electoral prospects in November.

As for the State of the Union, there is a respite for those who don’t want to be tortured by another hour or two of Trump spitting lies and rage-whining. As Bartiromo was kind enough to point out, MeidasTouch and MoveOn are hosting a People’s State of the Union. And Kid Rock is guaranteed not to be there.

For those Boycotting the State of the Union, MoveOn and MeidasTouch are hosting the People’s State of the Union. Let’s unite at this live event for an uplifting and powerful purpose. ???

CUE TRUMP TANTRUM: Multiple Polls Find that Most Americans Favor Biden Over Trump

Posted by on February 13, 2026 at 2:37 pm. 0 Comments :

The debilitating psychosis of Donald Trump is going to be studied by historians and psychiatrists for decades to come. He has been remotely diagnosed by knowledgeable professionals as a malignant narcissist, whose acute sociopathy and egocentrism combine for a potent mental elixir of dysfunction that poses profound risks for the nation and the world.

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

Joe Biden, Donald Trump

Every motivation of Trump is driven by just a few triggering events: insatiable greed, lust for power, seething vengeance, and consuming fear. That makes for a highly combustible personality who would blithely sacrifice the welfare of a perceived foe, or an entire nation, in order to get what he believes, in his twisted mind, is rightfully due to him. For instance…

SEE THIS: Trump to Americans Whose Lives Are at Risk By His Repealing Pollution Regs: ‘Don’t Worry About It’

Whenever Trump is exposed to some news that sparks his psychotic episodes, he is likely to go off like an out of control pyrotechnical display. He is a Roman Candle waiting to veer off course and set the whole neighborhood ablaze. That fuse can be lit by someone criticizing him for any of the fiascos he is responsible for on a daily basis, by a politician casting a contrary vote to his atrocious agenda, or by a disobedient truth making its way into the public’s awareness via the free press that he despises.

Among the many things that might trigger a Trump tantrum is any suggestion that he isn’t a gift to mankind from god. And he is particularly disturbed if he is ranked below any of his innumerable archenemies. Consequently, he is not going be take it well if he happens to see the results of a series of polls, all taken after Trump has been back in office for a full year, comparing him to his nemesis, former President Joe Biden…

  • Harris Poll: Trump is doing a worse job than Biden – 51-49%
  • Rasmussen Poll: Biden was a better president than Trump – 48-40%
  • The Economist/YouGov Poll: Trump is doing a worse job that Biden – 46-40%

Trump isn't gonna like this…America Prefers President Biden to Crybaby Trump!

There is firm agreement in these diverse polls. The results of the Rasmussen poll are especially notable considering that it is a notoriously biased pollster in favor of Trump and the Republican Party.

Many other polls surveying Trump’s approval are similarly bad news for him. The RealClear Politics poll of polls has Trump down by double digits, with an average approval ranking of 42.2% and disapproval at 55.1%. Among the five most recent polls, his best showing is still a negative 47% (by another Rasmussen survey), and he goes as low as 36%.

The one conclusion that can be drawn from this is that, in technical terms, TRUMP IS TOAST! And if he sees these polls – which is doubtful because his toadies will be too scared to show him – he is likely to have an aneurism. Or worse, he’ll nuke Greenland. Hopefully his handlers/nurses will keep him under control.

Trump Proudly Hypes a Poll that Shows His MAGA-tists are Mindless Members of a Totalitarian Cult

Posted by on January 31, 2026 at 1:55 pm. 2 Comments :

Every model of dystopian dictatorships includes the determination of the aspiring oppressor to exalt himself as something akin to a messianic idol with the accompanying traits of infallibility and a divine endorsement. Donald Trump is no exception to this rule for ruling over a willing population of sheepish peasants

Donald Trump Messiah

Throughout his reign of error, Trump has sought to portray himself as Heaven’s ambassador to Earth. He believes – or at least seeks to delude others into believing – that he is universally beloved and more popular than Taylor Swift, Bad Bunny, and Jesus, combined. Despite questioning his own likelihood of going to Heaven, Trump acts as if he’s destined for sainthood.

Trump’s latest attempt to glorify himself came in a comment posted to his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social. He bragged about the results of a new poll that found his popularity soaring to stratospheric heights. However, Trump’s celebration demonstrated his faulty grasp of opinion surveys – and reality. Along with the poll data, Trump thrilled that the…

“Survey conducted Thursday by Harper Polling shows MAGA base opinion not shifting post-Pretti killing…Of 800 likely Trump GOP voters.”

Trump posted these results from a notoriously disreputable GOP pollster.They prove only that his MAGA-tists are fully indoctrinated members of a cult who embrace totalitarianism and brutality.

Trump posted these results from Harper Polling, a notoriously disreputable GOP pollster. The respondents to the survey were all Trump supporters. So the only thing that this poll proves is that Trump’s MAGA-tists are fully indoctrinated members of a cult who embrace totalitarianism and brutality. What other excuse could there be for embracing Trump and his fascist regime that has been murdering American citizens, deporting law abiding migrants, and viciously smearing and persecuting anyone who dares to protest his autocratic overreach?

For the record, according to a Pew Research Center survey of 8,512 U.S. adults (ten times more than the Harper poll), “Trump’s approval among Republicans is now 73%.” That’s quite a ways from the Harper finding of 92%. Overall, Trump’s approval is an abysmally low 37%. Only 42% of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents said “they were confident that Trump acts ethically in office.”

Trump has been dismissive of most of the polling that has been conducted recently. He bitterly maligns it all as “fake News.” In another Truth Social comment Trump suggested that polling results that were negative for him were “a criminal offense,” raging that…

“Fake and Fraudulent Polling should be, virtually, a criminal offense. […] The Failing New York Times, ABC Fake News, NBC Fake News, CBS Fake News, Low Ratings CNN, or the now defunct MSDNC, Polls were all fraudulent, and bore nothing even close to the final results. Something has to be done about Fraudulent Polling. Even the Polls of FoxNews and The Wall Street Journal have been, over the years, terrible!”

Poor baby. It’s getting harder and harder to convince himself and his disciples that he is their blessed lord and savior. Trump maligns every legitimate poll as fake. He thinks that MS NOW (formally MSNBC) is defunct. And he can’t even trust his slobbering sycophants at Fox News and the Wall Street Journal. Consequently, he needs to have them all arrested, just like he did with Don Lemon.

This is not how a free democratic republic is run. It violates the protections granted in the First Amendment of the Constitution. And it emulates the tyrannical tactics of Trump’s heroes and mentors, Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Kim Jong Un. But he must not – and will not – be allowed to succeed in his efforts to make himself America’s Führer. He will end up in the dustbin of history, just like his predecessors.

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.
