HUH? Trump Now Says His Weaponization Fund Was to Compensate People Who Were Abused – By the Media?

Posted by on June 4, 2026 at 1:56 pm. 0 Comments :

It’s getting more difficult every day to keep track of the myriad explanations and excuses that Donald Trump dispenses to the press for whatever calamity happens to be gnawing at his rapidly decomposing brain matter. The problem with trying to comprehend Trump’s explosive diarhetoric is that he continuously alters it fit into his always evolving fantastical version of reality.

Donald Trump, CNN

For instance: Tariffs don’t impact American consumers. No, I’m removing some tariffs to help American consumers. And: My vanity ballroom won’t cost taxpayers a penny. No, the ballroom is going to cost a billion dollars for national security. And: I had nothing to do with canceling Stephen Colbert. No, I’ve taken out many bad political pundits including Stephen Colbert. And: We’re at war with Iran. No, the war is over. No, it wasn’t a war to begin with, it was an excursion. And now Trump is doing the same with his “weaponization” slush fund…

SEE THIS: DEMOCRATS: Claim Your Share From Trump’s $1.776 Billion ‘Anti-Weaponization’ Slush Fund

During a press avail at the White House on Thursday, Trump engaged in a brief exchange with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins. She asked him about his now abandoned slush fund, and he replied in the typically rude and flagrantly dishonest manner that has become his hallmark.

Collins: Just to clarify on what you were asked earlier, is the $1.8 billion DOJ fund dead or is it on hold?
Trump: It’s — I’d have to ask the lawyers, I don’t know. I know one thing: The weaponization fund, as far as I’m concerned was a beautiful thing. It was something I was — I didn’t make it, but I was — I heard that I thought that was the greatest thing because people like you…have abused our people so badly – Be quiet — have abused our people so badly and you should be ashamed of yourself. […] CNN does such false reporting, but now they have new ownership, so maybe it’ll straighten it out. I doubt it, but it’s hard to straighten garbage out. But CNN has abused and others have abused so badly.

WTF IS TRUMP TALKING ABOUT?He is not only being grossly disrespectful to Kaitlan Collins of CNN, he is saying that his illegal $1.8 billion "weaponization" fund was to compensate people who were abused by the media. That's a new one from the Demented One.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-06-04T10:32:28.687Z

There is a lot to unravel in that stream of incoherence. First of all, Trump’s claim of ignorance – while on the surface is believable considering his cognitive dysfunction – in this case is ridiculous. He knows exactly what happened with the fund because he was responsible for it. And the lawyers to whom he refers are his lawyers.

More to the point, Trump is not only being grossly disrespectful (as usual) to Collins by dismissively ordering her to “be quiet,”, he is also saying that his illegal slush fund was intended to compensate the January 6th insurrectionists who he now says were abused by the media, rather than law enforcement and the prosecutors who held them accountable for their seditious crimes, many of whom pleaded guilty.

Trump’s original claim that his StormTrumpers were badly treated by law enforcement was preposterous on its face. Which is why he has dropped it under pressure from his own MAGA Republicans in Congress and the MAGA media. But this new assertion is even more bizarre. There is no legal justification for his attempting to use taxpayers dollars to compensate his criminal cult devotees for anything that was said about them by the media.

If Trump’s rioters really thought that they were abused by the media, they could seek compensation by filing defamation lawsuits on their own. But they would have to prove that the media lied with malice. And since there is zero chance that they could do that, they would promptly get laughed out of court.

Getting laughed out of court just happens to be the proper response to any litigation that Trump dredges up. Unfortunately, there are still a few of his flunkies in robes who willingly do his bidding. But that state of affairs won’t last forever. And before long the time come will come when he and his goon squad will be brought to justice.

WHAT 1ST AMENDMENT? Snowflake Trump Takes Credit For Canceling “DUMB” (With a B) Stephen Colbert

Posted by on June 2, 2026 at 2:01 pm. 1 Comments :

The tender sensitivities of Donald Trump, and his massive yet fragile ego, continue to shine through the facade of bombast and bullying that he likes to put forward. His macho image of himself – setting aside his affinity for The Village People and muscular MMA fighters – is as fake as his layers of orange pancake makeup and B-52 hairstyles.

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

Donald Trump, Constitution

Trump’s hyper-mushiness is often expressed by his lashing out at journalists and other media figures. It can be seen whenever he is asked a question he can’t answer and resorts to insulting the reporter as a means of dodging the question. And it’s particularly true with regard to comedians who wound his smug pride with ample servings of satire and well-deserved mockery.

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

On Sunday night Trump unloaded yet another lambasting of his perceived enemies, both political and humorous. In a comment posted to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, Trump lauded himself for allegedly ending the careers of several of his archfoes, including Stephen Colbert. Trump bragged that…

“In the last two weeks I’ve taken out many bad Political ‘Leaders’ and Pundits including Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Lightweight ‘Congressman’ Thomas Massie of Kentucky, Brad Raffensperger of Georgia, REALLY DUMB Stephen Colbert of CBS, and others.”

Whad'ya know? Trump is admitting he had a role in Stephen Colbert being canceled, something he previously denied, and CBS said was just a financial decision.Plus he says he's also going after the other late night hosts. And finally, he says this is how he is "working so hard for our country" ???

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-06-02T07:40:34.959Z

That’s right. Trump is taking credit for the cancellation of “DUMB” (with a “B”) Stephen Colbert. Which is peculiar because he has previously denied having much, if anything, to do with it. In a post on Truth Social in July of last year Trump claimed that Colbert was fired due to “lack of talent” and CBS’s unverified assertion that the number one rated show lost $50 million dollars a year…

“Everybody is saying that I was solely responsible for the firing of Stephen Colbert from CBS, Late Night. That is not true! The reason he was fired was a pure lack of TALENT, and the fact that this deficiency was costing CBS $50 Million Dollars a year in losses.”

Trump’s tirade also included a tribute to himself saying that “It is my Honor to be working so hard for our Country!” Exactly! Because, as everyone knows, canceling Colbert is the best way to lower costs for gas, and groceries, and housing, and healthcare.

And that’s on top of the many economic benefits that come from building vanity ballrooms, staging UFC fights at the White House, paying $1.8 billion to reward violent seditionists, minting $250.00 bills with Trump’s face on them, and, of course. starting wars against Middle East countries without any reason or exit strategy.

The worst part of this assumption of credit by Trump is that he is affirming his intention to do away with the free speech rights and press freedoms embedded in the First Amendment to the Constitution. He actually believes that he has the power to dictate what can or cannot be aired on television. And sadly, too many of the billionaires who own the media are all too willing to capitulate to him for fear and/or greed.

However, that weakness will only work for so long. And the time is coming when they will learn the hard way that capitulation not only feeds Trump’s hunger for power, it alienates audiences who will revolt against the traitorous complicity in the corporate media’s embrace of MAGA-style fascism.

Trump Humiliates Himself in a Hysterical Interview By His Daughter-in-Law Lara Trump on Fox News

Posted by on May 31, 2026 at 1:50 pm. 2 Comments :

There really is no one who does more damage to Donald Trump than Donald Trump. With every public appearance he makes he pours out buckets of bullpucky that is decidedly detrimental, with an emphasis on the “mental.”

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

Fox News, Lara Trump, My View

Saturday night Trump courageously exposed himself to a potential PR disaster by agreeing to be interviewed by the most intimidating inquisitor on Fox News, Lara Trump. Who just happens to also be his daughter-in-lawlessness. And that family connection is being actively exploited as Lara’s husband Eric is threatening to file a defamation lawsuit against Jen Psaki and MS NOW, Lara and Fox’s competition.

SEE THIS: JUST LIKE DADDY: Eric Trump Threatens to Sue MS NOW and Jen Psaki for Telling the Truth About Him

During the father/daughter-in-law interview, Trump dropped some juicy news bites. And as always, they were more revealing of his own personality disorders, than of anything derogatory he intended about his perceived enemies. What follows are a few of those nuggets of Trump’s dementia.

FIRST: For the umpteenth time Trump basked in the glory of how beloved he is as shown in a poll that doesn’t exist.

Despite incessantly insulting CNN as “fake news,” Trump made a point of praising their data analyst, Harry Enten, who had nothing to do with the NBC poll, other than to refer to it. He has also misrepresented the findings that showed Trump’s approval is only 66% among Republicans. So a third (31%) of his own party doesn’t approve of him. Also notable is the wretch-inducing painting in the background for this interview that took place in the White House foyer.

SECOND: Trump sought to display how knowledgeable he is about America’s voting processes.

Never mind that Trump got literally everything wrong. Of course, it isn’t the first time he’s done that. He recently claimed that if Jesus came down and counted the votes in California, he would have won the notoriously Democratic state.

THIRD: Trump’s dementia was on full display as he contradicted himself within seconds about his alleged successes in Iran.

Trump has been claiming to have totally obliterated Iran’s military since the first few days of his reckless and illegal war. And he has been promising that the war’s end is just days away. Which he has been promising for months.

FOURTH: Perhaps most bizarre is Trump’s proof that he is intellectually superior to us mere mortals.
He tells Lara that most people don’t know that the word “dumb” ends with a “B.” However, Trump watchers know that whenever he says something about what other people don’t know, it’s really something that he just learned himself.

Throughout this parade of pitiful pompousness, Lara never asked a single follow up question or challenged the obviously lies told by her sugardaddy-in-law. But as the host on Trump’s State TV Ministry of Propaganda, would would she?

Trump Freaks Out Over Kennedy Center Ruling – Gets Fluffed by Maria Bartiromo on Fox News

Posted by on May 30, 2026 at 12:47 pm. 0 Comments :

By now everyone knows how easy it is to trigger Donald Trump into doing or saying something profoundly stupid, or worse, manifestly harmful to the reputation and/or well being of the United States. As Hillary Clinton presciently warned nine years ago, “A man you can bait with a tweet is not a man we can trust with nuclear weapons.”

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

Donald Trump

The inherent risks in coddling Trump’s flawed personality disorders have been witnessed repeatedly in his irrational overreactions to everything from Iran’s failure to submit to his toothless threats, to his demands that late night comedians like Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel be censored or banned from television. Even Fox News noticed that emotionally weak leaders should not be given destructive powers.

SEE THIS: Fox News Warns Against Giving the Nuclear Codes to Mentally Declining Presidents – Like Trump?

This week Trump’s psychological stability was challenged when a federal judge ruled that adding his name to the Kennedy Center was illegal and that he must remove it and cease plans to shut it down for unnecessary renovations. As reported by The Guardian…

“A judge on Friday ordered the removal of Donald Trump’s name from the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, ruling that the prestigious Washington DC venue cannot be renamed without an act of Congress…[US district judge Christopher] Cooper also temporarily blocked the center from closing this summer for proposed renovations, two months after Trump announced its two-year closure.”

Shortly after that ruling was announced, Trump took to his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, to plaintively cry about what a pathetic victim he is. The post was so long that it would be a monumental waste of time to read it. But it contained a few morsels of insight into just how demented Trump is.

WARNING: Do not read without a strong tolerance for BLLSHT!This is Trump's tirade after a judge ruled that adding his name to the Kennedy Center was illegal, ordering it to be removed, and halting his plans to shut it down for renovations. It's more than he's ever written about helping Americans.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-05-30T09:43:27.430Z

Trump repeated the same or similar post three times within 24 hours. He used more than half of his harangue (385 out of 723 words) to attack the judge’s wife as “an anti Trump Hater.” He whined that “Unless I am free to do what I do better than anyone else…I have no interest in continuing what could only be a hopeless journey into “NEVER NEVER LAND.” And his ludicrous argument against the ruling was that “a large Board of some of the most distinguished people in the Country voted unanimously to put the name up. I didn’t do it, the Board did.”

For the record, Trump’s argument had not only already been rejected by the court, it is grossly dishonest. As was also reported by the The Guardian…

“Shortly after taking office last year, Trump sparked controversy when he appointed himself chair of the Kennedy Center’s board of trustees in February, calling it a ‘take-over’. He purged the board and replaced them with his own appointees. The board of the Kennedy Center then voted in favor of the proposal to add Trump’s name in December, culminating an aggressive effort of his administration to remake Washington’s arts and culture institutions to his liking.”

Not surprisingly, Fox News quickly leaped to Trump’s defense. Their official Senior Trump-Fluffer, Maria Bartiromo, who herself is a Trump appointee on the Center’s board, was outraged on his behalf. So she tweeted that…

“The board already approved the name change @kencen the way these judges go after @realDonaldTrump is absolutely sick and the history books will reveal how sick and un American they are -Grow Up & stop wasting everyone’s time on your politics.”

REALLY? Bartiromo is either lying (again), or is pitifully ignorant of the facts noted above. What’s more, she was cited multiple times for her flagrant lying in the defamation lawsuit that cost Fox News $787 million for lying about the 2020 presidential election being “rigged” by Dominion Software. That’s likely to be more prominent in history books than whatever she is complaining about now.

As for “wasting everyone’s time on politics,” what does she think Trump is doing with his relentless self-aggrandizing efforts to exalt himself at the Kennedy Center, as well as the Institute of Peace, his golden vanity ballroom, his triumphal arch, and his new proposal to put his scowling mug on a $250.00 bill? Which ironically would just remind people of what it costs to fill their tank, pay for housing, get health insurance, or buy groceries.

Bartiromo’s tweet just parroted Trump’s rant, including his claims about his Board of Flunkies and his attacks on the judge’s wife. She concluded by asking “Do they not realize [America] wants @realDonaldTrump to win?” Considering that Trump’s approval rating is sitting at record lows, you have to wonder what fantasy world she resides in?

Fox News Warns Against Giving the Nuclear Codes to Mentally Declining Presidents – Like Trump?

Posted by on May 29, 2026 at 2:29 pm. 0 Comments :

Throughout the presidential campaign of 2024, Donald Trump and the Republican Party focused obsessively on the perceived weaknesses of President Biden, despite the fact that he had dropped out of the race. They made mental health a key factor for choosing a national leader.

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

Donald Trump, Insane, Straight Jacket

What they didn’t count on was that Trump’s own mental health would prominently figure into his own presidency. For severely years now he has been remotely diagnosed by knowledgeable professionals as a malignant narcissist, whose acute sociopathy and egocentrism combine for a potent psychological elixir of dysfunction that poses profound risks for the nation and the world. And Trump’s mental well being doesn’t compare favorably with that of his predecessor…

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

Consequently, Trump is making things very difficult for his fluffers at Fox News. When the figurehead of what was once the Republican Party – now the MAGA Cult – is an octogenarian with obvious physical and mental impairments, it becomes much harder for the devotees of that cult to unleash rote criticisms based on flaws typically associated with age and intellect.

Fox News contributor Kellyanne Conway (of “alternative facts” fame), who was Trump’s campaign manager in 2016 and served in the White House during his first term, was a guest on Laura Ingraham’s program Thursday night. During her segment she made some comments that might have struck some people as peculiar for a loyal Trumpist. She said that…

“This happens to many of us, right? People that we love fall into decline physically, mentally. That’s okay. That’s life. What happens is you have to let them live out their lives quietly, in peace with dignity with their families. Enjoy the grandchildren. You don’t give them nuclear codes and the presidency of the United States.”

Without any further context, it might appear as if Conway was giving a warning about what is happening now with with Trump. It could have been said by any Democrat concerned about the declining mental health of the current occupant of the White House. However, Conway was actually attempting to denigrate President Biden. The fact that she missed her target so badly speaks to how serious Trump’s problems are.

There is, however, a significant difference between Biden and Trump. While Biden is now living quietly, in peace with dignity with his family, and enjoying his grandchildren, it is Trump who has the nuclear codes. And he is making daily threats with hostile intentions toward a variety of countries, including Iran, Oman, Cuba, and even Greenland.

What’s more, it is Trump who is exhibiting dangerous signs of instability. He has been caught sleeping though meetings that were being televised. He has been rambling incoherently in speeches and press avails. He has been behaving in a distinctly narcissistic manner, praising himself shamelessly for imaginary successes, and constructing public tributes that include statues and placing his scowling likeness on currency.

Yet somehow, Trump still manages to have convinced himself that he is in perfect health, mentally and physically. Never mind that he still hasn’t released the reports from his most recent annual physical exam, his third in 13 months. That exam included yet another cognitive test that he boasts to having “aced.” It’s become a regular thing with Trump that he regards as evidence of his superior health. However, there is another interpretation that most Americans find more relevant…

Did Trump Fail His Physical? Why is He Panic-Posting Pix of Random People Sleeping on TV

Posted by on May 26, 2026 at 3:37 pm. 0 Comments :

Among the many records held by Donald Trump is that he is the oldest person ever to be inaugurated as president of the United States. The American people are reminded of that distinction every day as Trump seems to exhibit new signs of acute physical and mental decline whenever he is seen in public.

Trump in Bed, Eating, Sad

Despite Trump’s obvious impairments, he relentlessly brags that he is stronger, smarter, and better in every way than anyone who ever occupied the White House. And his loyal Republican cult disciples obediently repeat his exaltations during meetings that appear to have no other purpose than fluffing His MAGA-sty. Of course his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, is always there to back him up…

SEE THIS: HUH? Fox News Praises Trump for Being 80 Years Old and Severely Sleep Deprived

Nearing his eightieth birthday, Trump is showing signs of his age. He has several visible abnormalities that he has never explained. He has also neglected to explain why he is having his third “annual” physical exam in only thirteen months. However, he is predictably bragging about the results that have been confirmed only by his own unverified posting on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, in which he has declared himself to be “PERFECT.”

It’s safe to say that Trump’s assessment of his own health is something less than reliable. In fact, there appears to be something worrisome enough that he has resorted to preposterous claims of perfection, and has ordered his regime flunkies to deflect attention away from his problems and unto some totally fake problems of others.

Shortly after Trump concluded his latest physical at Walter Reed Hospital, his Rapid Response team on X/Twitter went to work accusing a bunch of television reporters and pundits of falling asleep on the air. They posted screenshots as their proof of these accusations. This is clearly an attempt to mock the documented videos of Trump sleeping through Cabinet meetings and other public events.

There’s just one little problem. While Trump’s dozing off is documented in videos that show him motionless with his eyes closed over time, these screenshots are stills that just caught the person looking down or blinking. [Be sure to click through to see the thread that contains the likely reason for these bizarre postings: A doctor on CNN who detailed some of Trump’s notable health issues, including what he called Trump’s “severe daytime somnolence”]

Trump's @RapidResponse47 account is posting screenshots of people allegedly sleeping on TV. It's a sad attempt to mock the videos documenting Trump sleeping at meetings and public events.But these are all stills, while Trump is seen on video. They are just making it worse. 1/3

For the record, here is a recent example of Trump drifting into dreamland. While he has done this on a pretty regular basis, with numerous videos as proof, this one was just yesterday as his Secretary of War Crimes, Pete Hegseth, was speaking at a Memorial Day event…

BREAKING? The Iran War Will End in ‘Days’ According to Trump, Who Has Been Saying that for Months

Posted by on May 24, 2026 at 1:40 pm. 2 Comments :

It has been 84 days since Donald Trump launched his 24 to 42 day war against Iran. In that time 13 American soldiers have died, dozens more were seriously wounded, at least $30 billion have been spent, the U.S. and world economies have floundered, the cost of gas, groceries, healthcare, housing, etc., have skyrocketed, and diplomatic relations with most of America’s allies have been squandered. Are we tired of winning yet?

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

Trump baby with Iran map

A war that Trump promised would be over before Easter has lasted until Memorial Day, so far. It has endured multiple justifications by Trump and his flunkies, many of them that contradict themselves. What’s more, Trump’s war was already won and done a week after it had begun, according to his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News…

SEE THIS: Fox News Has Already Declared Victory in Iran, While Trump is Threatening ‘Complete Destruction’

Despite all of that, Trump is still issuing declarations of victory on an endless loop. The latest one was in a long and lie-riddled comment on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, that read in part…

“One of the worst deals ever made by our Country was the Iran Nuclear Deal, put forth and signed into existence by Barack Hussein Obama and the rank amateurs of the Obama Administration. It was a direct path to Iran developing a Nuclear Weapon. […] The negotiations are proceeding in an orderly and constructive manner.”

This is just the most recent example of Trump insisting that all’s well in Iran and that peace is at hand. Never mind that he and his regime have been doing that for months. For the record, here are are just a few of the preposterously positive assessments announced by Trump and Company (with many more documented here)…

  • March 9: Trump said the war was “very complete, pretty much.”
  • March 13: Trump tells Fox News that “I don’t think it’s gonna be long,” and that it is over when “I feel it in my bones.”
  • March 25: White House messaging framed Iran as essentially defeated
  • April 6: Fox News reported Trump saying the war was “nearing completion.”
  • April 8: Trump posted a message on Truth Social saying it’s “A big day for World Peace! Iran wants it to happen.”
  • April 16: Trump said, the war is “going along swimmingly,” and “it should be ending pretty soon.”
  • May 2: Trump reportedly informed Congress that hostilities had “terminated.”
  • May 18: Trump said “serious negotiations” were underway and that a peace arrangement was close.
  • May 23: Final aspects and details of the Deal are currently being discussed, and will be announced shortly.”

Given those powerful proclamations of triumph, it’s difficult to understand why we are still engaged in ongoing hostilities with a supposedly vanquished enemy. What’s more, one must wonder what Trump still hopes to achieve.

It’s notable that Trump began his tirade, not with criticism of the foreign enemy with whom he’s at war, but with an attack on his perennial domestic enemy, President Barack Hussein Obama. Clearly Trump is suffering from an acute case of OCD (Obama Compulsive Disorder). And he uses Obama’s full name like an angry mother chastising an ill-behaved child. But in Trump’s case, it’s just a racist insult.

The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) that was negotiated by Obama assured that Iran would never build or acquire nuclear weapons. Iran also agreed to regular inspections to insure compliance by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). And for ten years Iran was full in compliance with the agreement. Until Trump tore it up and replaced it with – nothing! That’s when Iran resumed their nuclear programs.

Trump’s tentative new deal with Iran would reportedly open the Strait of Hormuz (which was open before his war) with Iran retaining control. It would unfreeze funds and remove sanctions, giving Iran access to billions of dollars in oil revenue. And it allow Iran to keep stockpiles of highly enriched uranium. Even if those flaws were resolved in continuing talks, the deal would still fall short of the one that Obama made that had built-in methods of verification, granted Iran far less monetarily, and and cost the U.S. far less in both blood and money.

Meanwhile, Trump has repeatedly said that Iran is “begging” to make a deal. Although there is no evidence of that whatsoever. To the contrary, Iran has contradicted every White House boast of progress at the negotiating table. Simultaneously, Trump has actually hampered negotiations by threatening to send Iran “back to the stone ages” or that “a whole civilization will die tonight.” He has also given Iran several deadlines to surrender that he subsequently ignored when they passed. As a result, no one takes Trump’s word seriously anymore, if they ever did.

In short, Trump has delivered nothing of substance after taking twice as long as he promised to get any results. So to pacify his badly bruised ego, he’s lashing out like a petulant toddler at Obama, an indisputably better man that he plaintively envies. And in the days that follow it is still unlikely that we will see the victory that Trump keeps lauding himself for.

BOO HOO: JD Vance Says the Treasonous Rioters Who Beat Cops Don’t Get Any Sympathy – No, REALLY!

Posted by on May 19, 2026 at 4:17 pm. 2 Comments :

Isn’t it comforting to know that while the American people are struggling to make ends meet, Donald Trump is focusing all of his attention on the beautification of Washington, D.C. He is building a billion dollar vanity ballroom next to the White House. He is doing an unnecessary renovation of the Reflecting Pool by the Lincoln Memorial. He’s shutting down the Kennedy Center to rehab it for reasons no one understands. And he has several remodeling projects in progress at the White House.

Donald Trump Insurrection

Never mind that the economy is suffering from rising inflation. Or that there’s a war going on against Iran that Trump can’t figure out how to end. Or that people can’t afford health insurance, or food, or housing, and the programs that provide aid are being slashed. Or that the national debt is hitting record highs. It appears that there is only enough money in the treasury to fund Trump’s pet projects, but nothing that benefits the American people.

SEE THIS: DEMOCRATS: Claim Your Share From Trump’s $1.776 Billion ‘Anti-Weaponization’ Slush Fund

The Trump administration’s solutions to these problems is to pretend that they don’t exist. To that end they have sent their best messenger, JD Vance, into the fray to make the case that everything is just hunky dory. And he’s doing a bang up job of it.

Vance showed up in the White House Press Briefing Room Tuesday morning in place of Trump’s Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, who is on maternity leave. He began by assuring the assembled reporters that Trump never said that he didn’t care about people’s financial situations (he did say it), and defending Trump’s stock trading in companies that he has a financial interest in, and condemning fraudulent schemes that sound exactly like what Trump engages in.

Amidst this embarrassing display poorly dispensed PR, Vance was asked about the nearly $2 billion “Anti-Weaponization” slush fund that Trump connived with his “Justice” Department to reward his StormTrumpers. Which led to this boneheaded bomblet that he dropped on the reporters…

“You know who never, ever gets an ounce of sympathy when it comes to that disproportionate sentencing? People who vote for Donald Trump and participated in the January 6th protest.”

Vance: "You know who never gets an ounce of sympathy when it comes to disproportionate sentencing? People who vote for Donald Trump and participated in the January 6th protest."

— The Bulwark (@thebulwark.com) 2026-05-19T18:35:17.751Z

Seriously? What Vance is asking for is sympathy for the insurrectionists – incited by Trump – who stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021, assaulted police officers, vandalized the property, threatened the lives of members of Congress and then-Vice-President Mike Pence, and sought to undermine democracy by overturning the election.

Of course. Why not show sympathy for these traitors? After all, most of them already received pardons from Trump. And now Trump is seeking to reward them financially for their treason. So haven’t they suffered enough? After all, Trump is going to need them for his next attempted insurrection when he is evicted from the White House by voters, or maybe sooner by impeachment or the 25th Amendment. It’s a virtual advertisement for aspiring anti-American mercenaries.

This is a perfect demonstration of what Trump and his MAGA minions think about democracy and the Constitution. They have no sympathy for the plight of the American people who their policies are harming. But hey are full of it when it comes to lawbreakers, and cop beaters, and criminals who commit fraud on behalf of Dear Leader and his cult.

The only thing surprising about any of this that they are doing it all right out in the open. And they wonder why Trump’s approval ratings are in the toilet.

This week Donald Trump took valuable time away from his highest priority presidential duties of golfing, planning his vanity ballroom, indicting Democrats, insulting the free press, and watching Fox News, to visit his authoritarian pal, Xi Jinping, in China.

Donald Trump and Xi Jinping

That’s right. Trump boarded Air Force One with his son Eric, Eric’s wife, Lara, Stephen Miller, and a horde of billionaire tech company honchos, to engage with the leader of one of America’s most daunting foes. The American people will be comforted to know that Trump is doing more than posting endless deranged comments on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social.

There are many crucial issues for Trump to address with Xi, including Trump’s war in Iran, China’s threatening stance toward Taiwan, economically critical trade deals, and advancing the American principles of democracy and freedom. Rest assured that Trump won’t waste any of his limited time in China with those trivialities. Instead, he will perform his organ grinder routine, with Xi as the organist. Trump began his stint in China by paying tribute to its brutal tyrant saying that…

“I have such respect for China, the job you’ve done. You’re a great leader. I say it to everybody.”

Trump gushes over China's dictator, Xi Jinping, because he loves, and hopes to be, a dictator himself someday.

Indeed. Xi has done a great job suppressing the Chinese people politically, and enslaving them economically. It’s a model that Trump envies and hopes to emulate in the U.S. Trump is so impressed by China’s successes that he even praised them for their superiority in America’s fast food business…

“Just as many Chinese now love basketball and blue jeans, Chinese restaurants in America today outnumber the five largest fast food chains in the United States, all combined. That’s a pretty big statement”

Trump is lying – again (SURPRISE!). And he insists on lying about some of the most petty things.Estimates of the number of Chinese restaurants in the U.S. are between 37,000, and 45,000. But the combined total of the 5 biggest fast food chains is over 67,000.people.com/trump-boasts…

Never mind that, even though Trump is a huge fan of junk food, he was – as usual – wrong and/or lying. It didn’t take long for the fact checks to reveal how far off Trump was. As reported by People…

“There were roughly 37,000 Chinese food locations in the U.S. as of March 2023, according to the Pew Research Center. Other organizations frequently cite a total of 45,000, sourcing that claim to the now-defunct Chinese American Restaurant Association.

“The top five fast food chains in the U.S. — Subway, Starbucks, McDonald’s, Dunkin Donuts and Taco Bell — had north of 67,000 units combined in 2025, according to QSR magazine, a trade publication that sources data directly from the companies.”

It isn’t surprising that Trump would get this easily verifiable data so wrong. He is notorious for failing to educate himself and for refusing to sit through boring briefings that aren’t predominantly about him and how awesome he is. And for this summit he saw fit to bring along his family and a bevy of conflicted businessmen, but not a single diplomatic or national security expert on China. And in response to that criticism his communications director, Steven Cheung, lashed out in a typically infantile Trumpian manner…

It would be safe to predict that little or nothing of substance will be achieved at this summit. But Trump will nevertheless boast that it was the most historically fantabulous summit in the history of the human race. And it couldn’t have possibly been done without His MAGA-sty in charge. And unfortunately, that’s one thing that he is right about.

BE AFRAID! Mike Johnson Frets About ‘Little Mini Mamdanis Popping Up All Around the Country’

Posted by on May 13, 2026 at 3:03 pm. 1 Comments :

The rapidly approaching midterm elections in November continue to stir deep seated anxieties in the Republican Party as their prospects for any sort of favorable results fade into the realm of improbable fantasy. Most recent polling show Democrats winning a solid majority in the House (despite the GOP attempts at redistricting), and a pretty good chance of taking the Senate as well.

Donald Trump and Mike Johnson

The predictions of a massive Blue Wave are driving GOP leaders into frenzies of desperation. They are utterly incapable of competing on the merits of their ideas or their records in office. So they are resorting to the most pathetic campaign tactics that rely solely on lies and smears. In other words, The Trump Strategy.

SEE THIS: Trump Unloads Dozens of Insane Posts, Including Calling for the Arrest of Obama for Treason

Leading the way is Republican House speaker, MAGA Mike Johnson. During a Wednesday morning interview on Fox News (where else?), Johnson revealed his innermost fears of the dreadful electoral outcomes that await him and his party in the near future.

“The way I describe it in summary is that there are little mini Mamdanis popping up all around the country. Okay? And they’re openly avowed socialist Marxist ideology. This is something that we have never seen before in American history.”

OH MY! Johnson is quite right. This country has never before been invaded by mini Zohran Mamdanis, the recently elected – and massively popular – mayor of New York City. And Johnson is also right to be afraid. These marauding Democrats are threatening to take the nation by storm, improving the lives of every American and advancing the principles of freedom and liberty. That alone should strike terror into the MAGA-tists. Even without the ludicrous lies that Democrats are “avowed socialists” espousing “Marxist ideology.” No wonder the GOP elite are scared. But Johnson was just getting started…

“The Tea Party resetting the Republican Party was about fiscal responsibility. This is about moving away from a constitutional republic to a communist utopian ideology, and that’s a dangerous thing for the future of the country.”

Really? Johnson is apparently oblivious to the fact that the current mood in the nation’s politics is dominated by the abysmal fiscal irresponsibility of the Trump regime that has resulted in higher costs of everything from gas and groceries, to housing and healthcare, and so much more. He is also blissfully unaware that it is Trump who is undermining the Constitution at every opportunity, and cozies up to his communist idols like Vladimir Putin. Johnson wraps up saying that…

“The problem we have, the insurgent left, the far left has all the energy, excitement, and the money in the Democratic Party. This is not our father’s Democratic Party anymore. They are going far, far left, and no one’s there to stop it.”

Once again, Johnson is right. “This is not our father’s Democratic Party.” Much as he wishes it were. In fact, he wishes it were a political party and era more like that of his great grandfathers, when women and people of color had no rights or voting privileges. and Democrats like Mamdani knew their place. Johnson is also right that there is no one who can stop it.

So maybe Johnson should just sit down and shut up for while as the adults run the country. It’s not like he’s actually doing anything anyway. He has presided over the least productive Congress in decades. And his overarching tendency has been to surrender every last remnant of the constitutional duties of the Legislative branch of government to Dear Leader Trump. Including allowing Trump to pocket billions of dollars of taxpayers’ money…

The MAGA GOP speaker says that an action by Trump's "Justice" Department (to pay him billions of dollars) "is not in my purview." ???Oversight of the Executive branch and its agencies is a core function of Congress. Johnson is, once again, surrendering his jurisdiction to Dear Leader Trump.
