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

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.

Donald Trump

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."

WHUT? Trump’s Treasury Secretary Says to Move From Blue States to Red States to Lower Inflation

The advice offered by Donald Trump and his Cabinet cronies has always been something less than credible, and more likely dangerous. It began years ago when Trump told people diagnosed with COVID to inject bleach, and it continues through his recent suggestion that it’s okay for service members to follow illegal orders, Trump has been a veritable fount of reckless counsel.

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

On Sunday morning, Trump dispatched his Treasury Sycophant…er…Secretary, Scott Bessent, to another interview on another television program. Which appears to be the main duty of everyone in Trump’s Cabinet, who spend more time in TV studios than in their offices. On this occasion Bessent was there to make bizarre excuses for why inflation has persisted throughout Trump’s second occupation of the White House. Heaven forbid they take responsibility for anything. Among the prime directives of MAGA World is “Blame Others.” For instance…

SEE THIS: Democratic Senator Gets Bomb Threat After Trump Called for Her Execution – Fox News Blames Her

Let’s set aside why a Trump Cabinet official is appearing on “fake news” NBC (as Trump calls it). During his interview on Meet the Press with Kristen Welker, Bessent sought provide the Trump administration’s solution to the inflation problem that the country is mired in. Never mind that Trump says that there is no inflation and that the economy is better than ever. Bessent offered this advice to make everything even more betterer…

“The Council of Economic Advisers has a study. You know the best way to bring your inflation rate down? Move from a blue state to a red state. Blue state inflation is half a percent higher. And that is because they don’t deregulate, they keep prices up, energy is higher.”

Bessent: "You know the best way to bring your inflation rate down? Move from a blue state to a red state. Blue state inflation is half a percent higher."

Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-11-23T15:10:35.773Z

Bessent is disgorging utter nonsense. First of all, the Council of Economic Advisers is a board comprised of Trump flunkies who say whatever Trump tells them to say. Secondly, Bessent’s explanations for why inflation might be higher in blue states have nothing to do with inflation. Regulations may increase the costs, but they are not the same as inflation. Energy prices are driven by industry manipulating supply and demand for maximum profit. And WTF does he even mean by “they keep prices up”? That’s not an inflationary factor. It’s just a disconnected swipe at Democrats that has no factual basis.

More to the point, Bessent’s claim that “Blue state inflation is half a percent higher” is entirely made up. He doesn’t offer any sources to validate the claim, because there aren’t any. On the other hand, the Wall Street Journal published a story last year that revealed the results of an independent study that found that the opposite of what Bessent said is the actual truth. The article’s headline was “Trump Voters Don’t Just Expect Higher Inflation—They Get It Too.” It began…

“Republicans right now think inflation is a much bigger problem than Democrats do, and a lot of that is just politics. But here’s another possibility: Many of the places Republicans live indeed have had significantly higher inflation than Democratic enclaves.

“In new research, economists Carola Binder, Rupal Kamdar and Jane Ryngaert examined Labor Department inflation figures for U.S. metropolitan areas, and compared them with voting data. Their finding: Metro areas with more Republicans and independent voters tended to have higher inflation in 2022 than places where Democrats live.”

So if anyone were to take Bessent’s advice, they would end up moving to a state that likely had higher inflation. Plus, they would have had to quit their jobs in the blue state, and would encounter worse unemployment in their new red state home. Plus, they would have fewer services available to mitigate their suffering in red states where they have cut funding for education, healthcare, financial aid, housing assistance, etc., to the bone. Although they would have lots of new neighbors who hate them because they came from a blue state.

On a more positive note, if enough Democrats were to move to red states, they would become less red, which would result in more compassionate leadership and more benefits for everybody. Including those remaining in the blue states who would have fewer, or less red, red states counteracting all the good that the blue states do for the nation. So maybe Bessent’s idea isn’t so bad after all.

Democratic Senator Gets Bomb Threat After Trump Called for Her Execution – Fox News Blames Her

Democrats and Republicans are both warning that these are dangerous times that we are living through. Political violence has been on the increase. Democrats have been concerned about this for several years, but Republicans seem to have just taken note of it since the shooting of right-wing activist, Charlie Kirk.

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

Donald Trump, Fox News

Kirk’s murder riled up the MAGA confederacy, generating a relentless stream of accusations against Democrats as being responsible for the rising tide of violence. The right’s complaints have themselves risen to the level of potentially violent rhetoric. That’s especially true of Donald Trump. And they are in complete denial of the fact that most such violence, by far, is committed by conservative perpetrators.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Justice Dept Disappears Study that Proves Most Violence is Caused By Far Right Radicals

This week Trump lashed out a group of Democratic members of Congress – all military and/or intelligence veterans – who produced a video to remind soldiers of their legal obligation, as stated in the Uniform Code of Military Justice, that requires them to refuse to obey unlawful orders. To which Trump and his MAGA minions immediately replied by accusing them of “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!”

Trump’s threat is despicable and inflammatory. The concerns of those in the video are not hypothetical. Trump has already issued orders that are plausibly unlawful, including those to bomb boats in Caribbean without evidence of any criminal activity, and his invasions of U.S. cities by military troops to quash peaceful protests. With regards to the latter, several court rulings have already found that those deployments are illegal, including one such ruling this week.

Another affirmation of the grotesque consequences of Trump’s outbursts is that one of those in the video, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, has already been the victim of a bomb threat. Fortunately, she and her family were not at home at the time, and no one was hurt. But the intent was clear. Except, that is, for those at Fox News, who reported on the incident and perversely twisted the facts to blame Sen. Slotkin for the attempted bombing of herself. The Fox News story reported that…

“Sen. Slotkin’s home targeted with bomb threat days after she told troops to defy ‘illegal’ orders.” [and that] “The video, which was posted on Tuesday by Slotkin, has drawn the ire of Republicans as well as the Trump administration.”

Did you catch that? Fox reported that the bomb threat occurred “days after she told troops to defy ‘illegal’ orders.” Which is technically true. However, it was just a few hours after Trump posted his incendiary call for Slotkin and her colleagues to be executed. Which is far more likely to have incited the bomb threat. Funny that Fox News didn’t mention that. What’s more, in Fox’s retelling, it wasn’t Slotkin who was the target of the bomb threat, just her home. Fox also only associated the violence with unnamed Republicans and the Trump administration, but not Trump himself, who made the reprehensible remarks.

Sen. Slotkin is not the only one who has been on the receiving end of MAGA malice. Another participant in the video, Rep. Jason Crow, has been getting profane phone calls threating him and his family. You can hear them here, if you have the stomach for it. His congressional office has also received a bomb threat.

To reiterate, these atrocious acts were triggered by patriotic veterans issuing a reminder about the duties that service members swear an oath to. And Fox News is complicit in the deliberate distortion of their intentions that makes the threat of violence toward these members of Congress more likely. Some people might call that seditious behavior. But if they did, Trump would surely pardon them, just as he did others who were actually convicted of it.

UPDATE: Trump was rage-posting late Saturday against the members of Congress in the video…

CRYBABY TRUMP is whining and incoherent again. So I thought I'd help him out.

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

The megalomania of Donald Trump is reaching grotesquely frightening new lows. In a flurry of rancid posts to his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, Trump is accusing several members of Congress of “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!” Will this abomination convince Republicans that Trump must be removed from office?

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

Donald Trump Angry

Trump’s basis for these accusations are as weak as his perpetually tedious lies about having won the 2020 election, or his constant boasts about his divine brilliance on every subject. However, these charges are far more dangerous than most of the laughably incoherent remarks he makes. This episode of his demented hostility began with a segment that aired on Fox News…

SEE THIS: Fox News and GOP Senator Idiotically Claim ‘Democrats Are Calling For Treason From Military’

The Fox News segment featured an interview with Tennessee Republican senator, Marsha Blackburn, that grossly misinterprets a video produced by several Democratic members of Congress encouraging service members to honor their oaths to the Constitution (Video below). The segment played above Fox’s preposterous and hyperbolic chyron that read “Critics Say Dems Calling For Treason From Military.”

In the video the Congress members reminded those in the military that they have a legal obligation to refuse to follow unlawful orders. It is stated explicitly in Article 92 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), which requires service members to refuse orders that are illegal, unconstitutional, or violate military law. However, Trump has preposterously misinterpreted this as an act of sedition. He posted the following comment on Thursday morning…

“SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL. Each one of these traitors to our Country should be ARRESTED AND PUT ON TRIAL. Their words cannot be allowed to stand – We won’t have a Country anymore!!! An example MUST BE SET. President DJT”

To be clear, Trump is accusing members of Congress of sedition, and demanding that they be prosecuted, and even potentially put to death, for reiterating the actual legal obligations of the military as stated in the UCMJ. And if his own posts weren’t bad enough, he reposted 18 more comments (so far) by random people on his website saying such things as “Insurrection. TREASON!” and “HANG THEM GEORGE WASHINGTON WOULD !!”

The members of Congress in the video that Trump is accusing of sedition are Sens. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.) and Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.), as well as Reps. Jason Crow (D-Colo.), Chrissy Houlahan (D-Penn.), Maggie Goodlander (D-N.H.) and Chris Deluzio (D-Penn.). They were all either military veterans or intelligence operatives before being elected to Congress. Which makes Trump’s accusations all the more reprehensible considering his notorious refusal to serve by falsely claiming five medical deferments for “bone spurs” during the Vietnam war.

What will GOP Senate leader John Thune think about Trump wanting to execute his fellow senators? And what will former senator, now Trump’s Secretary of State, Marco Rubio think about killing his former colleagues? Is there any line that Trump could cross before they consider impeachment, or the 25th Amendment to remove him from office?

The brazen and purposeful dishonesty of Trump is meant to excite and increase the hatred of his MAGA cult disciples toward Democrats. It is intended to put a wedge between the military and the American citizens they serve. It is abominable and unconscionable rhetoric that will further divide the nation and potentially incite violence.

In other words, it is entirely expected of Trump whose aversion to fellow Americans who fail to unflinchingly worship him is an integral part of his character, or lack thereof.

We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community.The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution.Don’t give up the ship.

Senator Elissa Slotkin (@slotkin.senate.gov) 2025-11-18T13:31:25.167Z

Fox News and GOP Senator Idiotically Claim ‘Democrats Are Calling For Treason From Military’

The rise of authoritarianism in the reign of Donald Trump has been an inescapable concern for the patriotic Americans who cherish the principles on which this country was founded. For the whole of his time occupying the White House, Trump has worked against those principles in order to advance his cravings for wealth and power.

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

Fox News, Constitution

In just the first year of his second term, Trump has wildly exceeded the anti-American aspirations of his first term. He is imposing retributive and inflationary tariffs on most of America’s allies. He is sending troops into U.S. cities to suppress peaceful, lawful dissent. He is directing his “Justice” Department to indict and persecute his political foes. He is attempting to muzzle the free press via government pressure and ludicrous lawsuits. He is trying to rig future elections with partisan gerrymandering. And that’s an abbreviated list.

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

In short, Trump is working tirelessly on poisoning the institutions that hold America together. He is hellbent on twisting every one of those institution – from governmental, legal, academic, diplomatic, legislative, and even cultural – into slaves to his personal obsessions. And among the most worrisome are his efforts aimed at the institution of America’s military.

In addition to Trump’s hostilities toward U.S. cities with Democratic leaders, he is escalating his war on members of the Democratic Party itself. He recently ordered his Attorney Genuflect, Pam Bondi, to investigate Bill Clinton and other Democrats over baseless accusations of associations with Jeffrey Epstein. And on Wednesday his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, aired a segment that explicitly accused Democrats of advocating treason.

The segment featured an interview with Tennessee Republican senator, Marsha Blackburn, that grossly misinterprets a video produced by several Democratic members of Congress encouraging service members to honor their oaths to the Constitution (Video below). The segment played above Fox’s preposterous and hyperbolic chyron that read “Critics Say Dems Calling For Treason From Military.”

Blackburn: It is inconceivable that you would have elected officials that are saying to uniformed members of the military who have taken an oath to protect and defend that they say would defy the orders that they have been given to execute their mission. I find it inconceivable, but that is what they have chosen to do, and we will see what the response to them from Democrats…I find this just so disturbing that they would say defy the orders if you do not like the orders.
Faulkner: I don’t think they understand the slippery slope of what that does to an already unpopular Congress.

“Inconceivable!” "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.” (Also "Treason" on Fox News chyron)The Uniform Code of Military Justice (Article 92), literally REQUIRES service members to refuse orders that are illegal, unconstitutional, or violate military law.

News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-11-19T19:58:00.399Z

“Inconceivable”? Blackburn says that twice. But as was noted by Inigo Montoya in “The Princess Bride,” “I do not think it means what you think it means.” For one thing, they never said to “defy the orders if you do not like the orders.” They referred only to unlawful orders. And the Uniform Code of Military Justice (Article 92), literally requires service members to refuse orders that are illegal, unconstitutional, or violate military law. But don’t expect anyone on Fox News, or among the MAGA GOP, to know that.

The brazen and purposeful dishonesty of Blackburn and Fox News is meant to bring the animosity of their viewers toward Democrats to a furious boil. It is meant to further divide the nation and potentially incite violence. It is intended to put a wedge between the military and the American citizens they serve.

As such, it is Fox News and Trump’s flunkies who are engaging in the most heinous sort of unpatriotic rhetoric that should be regarded as – not treason – but at least inconceivable in civil society.

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

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

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

Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

WTHolyF? Trump Falls for Phony Meme Saying Obama Received Millions in Royalties for Obamacare

Anyone who hasn’t yet figured out that Donald Trump is a world-class imbecile who is pitifully incapable of grasping the obvious – or reality – probably still believes in the tooth fairy and needs to sew their name into their hat to remember what it is. In other words, they would be MAGA cult followers.

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

Barack Obama, Donald Trump

The dangerous dimwittedness of Trump puts America and all of its inhabitants at risk every day. It is particularly evident during a crisis such as the current Trump Shutdown that has resulted in millions of Americans being deprived of critical aid for food, just because Trump and his Republican minions are determined to make them pay more for healthcare.

SEE THIS: Trump’s New Plan to Kill Obamacare Would Cost People More and Make Insurance Companies Richer

Consequently, it shouldn’t come as surprise that Trump spent this Sunday morning posting a flurry of deranged comments related to his obsessions with voter ID (i.e. suppression), the divine glory of tariffs, and killing Obamacare. And with regard to the latter, Trump thought it would bolster his arguments by posting a meme that alleged that President Obama has been profiting from his namesake healthcare program. The meme said…

“BREAKING: DOGE halts yearly payment of $2.5 million to Barack Obama for ‘royalties linked to Obamacare.’ Obama has collected this payment since 2010, for a total of $40 million in taxpayer dollars.”

Trump is trying to shift responsibility for the government shutdown (and denial of medical coverage) to the Democrats by attacking Obamacare.Obviously, the post below is flat false. Obama hasn’t earned royalties from the Affordable Care Act. But it goes to show how desperate Trump is to distract.

Tom Joscelyn (@tomjoscelyn.bsky.social) 2025-11-09T17:12:02.289Z

Trump added his own commentary that consisted of the single exclamation “WOW!” Wow, indeed. That would be a shocking revelation, except for one little thing. It isn’t true. In fact, it was originally posted by a satirical website with its own disclaimer saying that “Everything on this website is fiction. It is not a lie and it is not fake news because it is not real. If you believe that it is real, you should have your head examined.”

Apparently that admonition was insufficient for Trump, who recently did have his head examined. He had a “perfect” MRI for reasons that have never been explained. But medical professionals say that it is rarely prescribed without some diagnostic concern to probe. It could have been to check whether or not Trump was suffering from the sort of cognitive decline that would cause him to believe the preposterous meme that he posted.

Trump: I got an MRI. It was perfect. We had an MRI, and the machine, you know, the whole thing, and it was perfect. The doctors said some of the best reports for the age, some of the best reports they've ever seen

FactPost (@factpostnews.bsky.social) 2025-10-27T13:27:30.272738111Z

For the record, the meme has roots that go back several years. FactCheck.org researched it in February of this year and published their findings, saying that…

“In recent days, some social media posts have repeated a fabricated claim that DOGE had halted millions in supposed royalty payments to former President Barack Obama. […] But the claim that the former president had been receiving royalty payments for the health care law he championed was the invention of America’s Last Line of Defense, or ALLOD, which publishes fabricated political stories and claims on its websites and social media pages that it describes as satirical.”

Throughout his occupation of the White House, Trump has been a perpetual source of embarrassment to the nation and humiliation to himself and his party. And just when you think that he has descended to depths that could never be lower, he manages to prove that his ability to plummet ever farther into the bowels of the abhorrent has been grossly underestimated. That’s his superpower.

Trump Slobbers Over Hungarian Dictator Viktor Orbán, Whose Unchecked Power He Envies and Craves

Three days ago Republicans suffered a massive electoral blowout to reenergized Democrats, in which they lost races for critical offices and issues across the country. And they lost by surprising margins. So naturally, Donald Trump has returned to the White House to refocus his attention on the issues that matter most to the American people.

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

Donald Trump Tyrant Dictator

And if you believe that, I have a ballroom to sell you in Washington for a mere $4 trillion. The truth is that Trump is continuing to ignore the needs and desires of the American people. He is prolonging a government shutdown that is creating severe hardships for millions. He is fiercely pushing to cut off SNAP benefits for needy children and seniors. And he isn’t doing anything to lower the cost of living, which he promised to do on day one of his second occupation of the White House. We are now on day 292.

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

What Trump is doing is sending $20 billion to his dictator friend in Argentina, Javier Milei. And he is pardoning the felonious billionaire who helped to launch his own crypto business. And on Friday, Trump carved out some of his precious time to entertain the totalitarian prime minister of Hungary, Viktor Orbán, at the newly redecorated Palace of Trump – aka the White House.

Trump was effusive in his praise for Orbán, who he adoringly called “a great leader” who is doing “a fantastic job.” Trump gushed that…

“I stick up for Viktor Orbán. Not a lot of people do because in many cases they’re jealous. They wish they did what he did. They would have no problems if they did what he did.”

Trump: "I stick up for Viktor Orbán. Not a lot of people do because in many cases they're jealous. They wish they did what he did. They would have no problems if they did what he did."

The Bulwark (@thebulwark.com) 2025-11-07T19:11:56.849Z

Indeed. Dictators have no problems getting what they want done because, if anyone refuses, they mysteriously fall out of high-rise windows. And Trump is being uncharacteristically honest when he talks about how other leaders are jealous of Orbán. In fact, Trump is referring to himself. He wishes that he could be as domineering as Orbán. He is even employing the Orbán playbook of subjugating the legislature to the autocratic executive, and by taking control of the media through wealthy surrogates who buy up news organizations and reform them into pro-Trump propaganda mills.

The media companies that Trump doesn’t control by ownership, he beats into submission with multi-billion dollar lawsuits. Those suits generally have no legal merit, but the companies agree to settlements out of fear that Trump will abuse his power to harm their business prospects.

Trump’s obsession with being the King of America is thinly veiled. In the same meeting with Orbán, Trump addressed the current state of the nation that is in the midst of the Trump Shutdown. He expressed his desire to end the standoff with Democrats by invoking a procedural measure that would give all of the power to Trump’s MAGA Republicans in the Senate…

“If we do it [eliminate the filibuster in the Senate], we will never lose the midterms and we will never lose a general election. Because we will have produced so many different things for the people, for the country, that it would be impossible to lose an election.”

Trump on ending the filibuster: "If we do it, we will never lose the midterms and we will never lose a general election … it would be impossible to lose an election."

And there you have it. Trump is explicitly declaring that it is his intention to rule unchallenged for life. He isn’t interested in solving problems for the benefit of all Americans. He is determined to reign as a tyrant who cannot be refused or removed. And he couldn’t care less about the welfare of the American people, as he showed in his infamous pooping on the people video a few weeks ago.

The only things Trump cares about are money and power. He just wants to be like his pals Orbán and Putin. Fortunately, the people he despises are not going to let him do it. 8647 NOW! [And for you hyperventilating MAGA-nauts, that means remove (86) Trump (47)].

FACT CHECK: Serial Liar Trump Unleashed a Fury of Flagrant Falsehoods (aka Lies) on 60 Minutes

It is a rare occurrence when Donald Trump allows himself to be interviewed by anyone other than one of the slobbering sycophants who populate the MAGA media outlets like Fox News or Newsmax or One America News Network. It is evidence of his innate cowardice, insecurity, and fear of being asked a question that is more difficult than “How did you become so handsome and brilliant?”

Trump Lies

Which may have sparked some curiosity when it was announced that Trump would be interviewed on “60 Minutes” by Norah O’Donnell. Although it shouldn’t have for reasons that will be dealt with in more detail below. On the surface, it seemed peculiar that Trump would appear on the network and program that he recently sued for alleged “election interference.”

True to form, Trump delivered a performance that was rife with deflection and dishonesty. When he wasn’t making up fantastical diversions from reality, he was swerving off into unrelated responses to questions he either didn’t know the answers to, or was too afraid to reply with anything resembling the truth.

Fortunately, CNN’s designated fact-checker, Daniel Dale, was on the job. He posted a pretty comprehensive summation of the many lies that Trump tried to pass off as coherent replies to inquiries on some serious matters. What follows are some of the more egregiously truthless Trumpisms itemized in Dale’s article…

  • It’s not true grocery prices “are down”; Trump told this lie even after O’Donnell told him they’re up
  • It’s not true “$17 trillion” is being invested in the US “right now” (this fictional figure is nearly double the White House’s own wildly inflated “announcements” figure)
  • It’s not true some recent former presidents invoked the Insurrection Act “28 times” (Ulysses S. Grant has the record because he invoked it on six occasions)
  • It’s not true Trump has ended “eight wars” (among other issues, his list includes two situations that weren’t wars at all
  • It’s not true foreign countries pay his tariffs (US importers make the payments and often pass on costs to consumers)
  • It’s not true Trump inherited the worst inflation of all time (it was 3% the month he took office, same as now, and even the 9.1% Biden-era peak in 2022 was not close to the all-time record)
  • It’s not true the 2020 election was “rigged and stolen” (his usual lie)
  • It’s not true the Presidential Records Act says he was allowed to have classified documents at his home post-presidency (it says all presidential records are to be in government custody the moment a president leaves office)
  • It’s not true Trump never instructed the Justice Department to go after Comey and James (he explicitly pressured the head of the department to do so in a social media post we all saw)
  • It’s not true Democrats are trying to give $1.5 trillion to illegal immigrants in the shutdown battle
  • It’s not true foreign leaders have emptied their prisons to somehow insert criminals into the US as migrants

It’s ironic that Trump is lying so profusely during a “60 Minutes” interview. He sued CBS over an interview they conducted with Kamala Harris that he said was election interference and probably illegal.” CBS settled the lawsuit without apologizing or conceding any wrongdoing. But they still shelled out $16 million dollars for his presidential library, if there is ever is one.

That settlement was a more of a bribe that CBS was paying to insure that mob boss Trump wouldn’t block the merger that CBS’ parent corporation, Paramount, was trying to complete with Skydance Media, a company run by Trump pals, Larry and David Ellison. There was no legal reason to settle. The case had no merit whatsoever. Trump was alleging that “60 Minutes” had improperly edited the interview to favor Harris politically. They didn’t.

What’s more, Trump acknowledged that he knew that CBS would be editing his interview. Which they did. It was whittled down from 90 minutes to about 28, in much the same way that he complained about for the Harris interview. And while it was in progress, Trump revealed that, not only was he aware of the editing, but he gave CBS permission to edit out specific parts that exposed the bias of the network’s new owners in his favor…

“You don’t have to put this on, because I don’t want to embarrass you. […] I think you have a great new leader, frankly, who’s – the young woman [Bari Weiss] that’s leading your whole enterprise is a great, from what I know – I don’t know her, but I hear she’s a great person. But ’60 Minutes’ was forced to pay me a lot of money because they took her [Kamala Harris] answer out that was so bad it was election-changing.”

So Trump sued CBS for what they did with the Harris interview, which is also precisely what he was now conspiring with CBS to do for his own interview. And the rest of the time he was lying. Of course, most of America – and the world – is already aware that Trump lies virtually every time he opens his mouth. But the reputation of CBS is now pretty much shot to hell. And unless the honest journalists who haven’t quit yet rise up to defend the free press, CBS can take their place in the MAGA Media Hall of Shame.

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

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

Donald Trump, Toilet, Bathrobe

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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