Trump Threatens to Charge Hakeem Jeffries with Inciting Violence for What a Trump Staffer Said

Posted by on May 7, 2026 at 12:56 pm. 1 Comments :

The politicization of the “Justice” Department under Donald Trump is accelerating as his poll numbers sink to new record lows. It’s clear that Trump is lashing out more furiously at his political foes as the risk of his losing power becomes more imminent and less possible for him to ignore.

Donald Trump, Twitter

Since his second occupation of the White House began, Trump has sought to prosecute members of Congress for reminding soldiers that they are legally obligated to disobey unlawful orders. He has had several critics indicted on phony charges of mortgage fraud. He is persecuting former FBI Director James Comey over some seashells that spelled out “8647.” In just the past week Trump’s legal inquisition has launched campaigns against Louise Lucas, a Democratic state representative who led the redistricting effort in Virginia, and a journalist who documented the dangerously erratic behavior of Trump’s FBI director, Kash Patel.

SEE THIS: Trump’s FBI Boss, Kash Patel, Goes After the Reporter Who Exposed Him as an Incompetent Lush

On Thursday morning Trump was busy conducting what he believes is his highest priority presidential duty: posting lies, self-exaltations, and offensive memes on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social. Among his latest online outbursts was one wherein he called for the criminal prosecution of the Democratic Leader in the House of Representatives, Hakeem Jeffries. Trump posted his racist rage that Jeffries replied to in much more diplomatic – and sane – manner…

“This lunatic, Hakeem ‘Low IQ’ Jeffries, should be charged with INCITING VIOLENCE! The Radical Left Democrats actually want to Destroy our Country. President DJT”

Notice that Trump is trying to associate Jeffries’ remarks with the the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner last month. It isn’t the first time that Trump has tried to exploit that event for selfish reasons. But on this occasion he is going even farther off the edge by threatening criminal prosecution.

What’s worse is that Trump is misrepresenting what Jeffries said. The reference to “maximum warfare” was made by Jeffries in response to Trump urging his MAGA Republicans in Texas and elsewhere to conduct unprecedented mid-census redistricting in order to steal congressional seats from Democrats. It was not remotely related to violence. Jeffries said that…

“We are in an era of maximum warfare, everywhere, all the time. And we are going to keep the pressure on Republicans at every single state in the union, to ensure at the end of the day, that there is a fair, national map. Because we believe that it is the people who should decide who is in the majority in the next Congress. Not Donald Trump and MAGA extremists.”

However, Jeffries was not the author of that “maximum warfare” language. It was first used by a Trump White House staffer. Jeffries was deliberately throwing it back in the face of the Trump regime that frequently employs blatantly hostile rhetoric. It fact, much more so as revealed in study by Trump’s own Justice Department.

As reported by the New York Times in August 2025, “One person close to the president, who insisted on anonymity to describe the White House’s political strategy, candidly, summed it up succinctly: ‘Maximum warfare, everywhere, all the time.'” So Trump’s meme is blaming Jeffries for what his own staffer said. Should Democrats call for that staffer to be prosecuted?

In Trump’s defense, it’s possible that he has no idea where the phrase – or the meme quoting it – came from. He’s too mentally impaired to assume that he has that sort of comprehension. However, his minions surely know and they allow him to post these lies. Even though it affirms his aspirations of authoritarian control wherein he incarcerates anyone who is less than unflinchingly worshipful.

On the other hand, Trump posted another meme Thursday morning that is more along the lines of the psychoses he suffers from…

Trump is STILL OBSESSED with the Democrats that haunt his nightmares. So he posts a dishonest and offensive cartoon attacking Biden, Obama, and Clinton.Meanwhile, the American people continue to struggle to make ends meet, while Trump is the one sleeping on the job.

Trump’s FBI Boss, Kash Patel, Goes After the Reporter Who Exposed Him as an Incompetent Lush

Posted by on May 6, 2026 at 1:58 pm. 0 Comments :

The vengeance driven retribution campaign of Donald Trump and company has been a prominent feature of his second occupation of the White House. It has placed numerous Democrats, wayward Republicans, and other critics in legal jeopardy just for daring to take honest positions in opposition to Trump and his MAGA cult movement.

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

Among the victims of the Trump regime’s revenge tour have been members of the media that they have attacked both civilly – by filing meritless lawsuits against news organizations – and criminally – by directing his “Justice” Department to prosecute journalists on blatantly phony charges. Most recently Trump’s FBI director, Kash Patel, followed his master’s lead by suing The Atlantic over a story that revealed him to be an incompetent administrator with a serious drinking problem.

SEE THIS: FBI Director Kash Patel Tells Fox News He’s Filing a Lawsuit Over Allegations of His Drinking

The Atlantic’s story profiled Patel’s unseemly behavior, alleging that “He is erratic, suspicious of others, and prone to jumping to conclusions before he has necessary evidence.” And that “The problems with his conduct…include both conspicuous inebriation and unexplained absences.”

Shortly after the article was published, Patel announced on Fox News that he was filing a $250 million defamation lawsuit. But as it turns out, that’s not the only overt act of retaliation that he’s taking. As reported by MS NOW, Patel’s FBI is going after the reporter…

“FBI agents are probing the reporter who wrote a detailed story of Patel’s alleged heavy drinking and erratic behavior.” […]

“The journalist, Sarah Fitzpatrick, cited two dozen anonymous sources in a detailed story reporting that Patel’s alcohol consumption and erratic behavior had caused deep concern among FBI officials. Patel was known to drink to the point of intoxication, she reported, adding that on occasion his security detail had trouble waking him in the morning.”

MS NOW’s reporting noted that such an investigation of Fitzpatrick “could be used by FBI agents to obtain her phone records, run her name and information through FBI databases and examine her social media contacts.” And The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, responded by saying that, “If true, this would be an outrageous, illegal, and dangerous attack on the free press and the First Amendment.”

Indeed. Siccing the FBI on a journalist who wrote a critical article could not be a more egregious breach of the Constitution’s protection of the free press. It’s the sort of thing one might expect of a totalitarian regime like the ones in Russia or North Korea that Trump idolizes and seeks to emulate. But in America it would be a criminal abuse of power that could land Patel in prison.

An FBI spokesperson has denied that any investigation of Fitzpatrick was underway. But given the credibility of statements issued by Trump, or anyone in is administration, it would be fair to take such denials with a pound or two of salt. On the other hand, the reporting by The Atlantic and Fitzpatrick has been impeccable and, to date, unimpeachable.

So you can make your own choice as to who to believe. The highly respected journalist with dozens of knowledgeable sources, or the guy who still says that Trump won the 2020 election, and that the Epstein files contain no evidence of any crimes, and that James Comey’s “8647” seashells were a threat to kill Trump, and that Trump declassified in his mind the documents found at Mar-a-Lago, and that Trump was exonerated of collusion with Russia by the Mueller Report, and any number of other conspiracy theories to which Patel had subscribed?

UPDATE: Following Patel’s harassment of The Atlantic’s reporter, he ordered polygraphs of his own staffers and security detail. He is scared, desperate, and suffering from acute paranoia. Which makes him a danger to democracy.

WTF? Trump’s FCC Expected to OK Paramount’s Takeover of CNN with BILLIONS of Middle East Dollars

Posted by on April 28, 2026 at 1:55 pm. 2 Comments :

The state of the media business has declined precipitously during the second occupation of the White House by Donald Trump. Either they have capitulated to his threats, lied to “sanewash” his incoherent babbling, soft-pedaled his autocratic policies, or just failed to demonstrate the courage that is expected from practitioners of a free press.

General Donald Trump on CNN

In short, the performance of much of the media amounts to simply cowardice. While there are some notable exceptions, the craven spinelessness, greed, and biases of most of the biggest media conglomerates is more than a little disturbing. And their sheepish surrender to Trump’s crybaby bullying encourages his worst totalitarian tendencies. Such as…

SEE THIS: Trump at the ‘Justice’ Department: CNN, MSNBC, and Other Media are Illegal and ‘It Has to Stop’

Trump has been carefully studying the anti-democratic tactics of his tyrannical idols Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un, and Viktor Orbán. And the results are evident in recent interactions between the government agencies he presides over and his MAGA media pals.

For instance, Larry and David Ellison, the Trump-fluffing moguls who own Paramount Skydance, are now seeking to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery. They have already gotten some preliminary approvals from Trump, his Justice Department, and his Federal Trade Commission. And now they are seeking to get a green light from the Federal Communications Commission. As reported by the Hollywood Reporter…

“Paramount has asked the Federal Communications Commission to sign off on its equity investment from three prominent Middle East sovereign wealth funds that are backing the company’s $111 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery.”

Paramount is making a direct appeal to Trump flunky Brendan Carr, his FCC chair, to approve the deal for the merger, including $24 billion from “Saudi Arabia’s PIF (public investment fund), L’Imad, an Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund, and a Qatar Investment Authority fund.” And while they say that “the sovereign funds are only acquiring non-voting equity shares,” it would still be an unprecedented arrangement wherein these foreign investors would own 49.5% of the company.

Paramount says that “the Ellison family and RedBird will…be the sole owners of Class A Common Stock, representing 100% of the voting shares.” And they think that makes things better? It actually means that these politically biased billionaire pals of Trump will be the overlords of two prominent news networks, CBS and CNN, along with all of the other assets of the combined media empire.

There are legal obstacles to foreign individuals, businesses, or governments owning U.S. media companies. The law cites national security, propaganda or political influence, and media concentration, as issues impacting approval. Under normal circumstances it would be particularly concerning for Middle Eastern entities to own such large percentages of American media.

The potential for exploiting the platforms (both news and entertainment) is obvious and worrisome. Even limited to non-voting shares, they would have significant leverage by simply threatening to sell shares, maneuvering their own competing platforms, or bailing out entirely.

Anyone who thinks that investors who own nearly half of the company wouldn’t be able to influence the company’s decisions is terminally naïve. And if those investors also happen to be tight with the U.S. administration, it just makes the potential for risk even greater.

There is literally no limit to the nefarious financial and national security mischief that they could engage in. And Trump’s Justice Department and other oversight agencies would be useless. Trump has already cleansed them of any ethical operatives. His administration, and Trump himself, would be no deterrent at all. In fact, the record shows that he would be an accomplice.

WHAT 1ST AMENDMENT? Melania and Donald Trump Demand that Jimmy Kimmel Be Taken Off the Air

Posted by on April 27, 2026 at 1:21 pm. 1 Comments :

In the wake of the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner Saturday night, Donald Trump has been parading around the media making the case that he’s a brave hero who survived an attempt by Democrats to terminate his presidency. It’s just more of the myth making bullpucky that Trump is so well known for disseminating.

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

Donald Trump Baby and Melania Trump

Consistent with Trump’s enduring fixation on demonizing his political opponents and the free press, Trump’s insignificant other, Melania, made a rare public statement that advances his determination to muzzle the media, particularly when it engages in accurate and honest criticism of him. On this occasion, Melania sought to respond to a joke made by Jimmy Kimmel last week.

SEE THIS: Jimmy Kimmel Hosts the ALTERNATIVE White House Correspondents’ Dinner Featuring Snowflake Trump

Outraged by Kimmel’s audacity to deliver a comedy monologue, Melania posted a comment on X/Twitter to express her dismay over a single line that referred to her and her charade of a marriage to Donald, the serial adulterer. What Kimmel said was that she had a “glow like an expectant widow.” In her hyperbolic overreaction Melania raged that…

Kimmel’s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn’t comedy- his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America.

“People like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate. A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him.

“Enough is enough. It is time for ABC to take a stand. How many times will ABC’s leadership enable Kimmel’s atrocious behavior at the expense of our community.

Melania has some massive testicular fortitude to complain about Kimmel’s allegedly “hateful and violent rhetoric”? Has she ever met her hateful HINO (Husband In Name Only)? And yet she brazenly calls for what amounts to the abolishment of the Constitution’s First Amendment, saying that “Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening.” She then demands that ABC “take a stand [against] Kimmel’s atrocious behavior.”

This is just another attempt by the Trump regime to ban Kimmel from broadcasting, which they tried and failed to do last year. Disappointed by his failure, Trump whined that “I can’t believe ABC Fake News gave Jimmy Kimmel his job back. The White House was told by ABC that his Show was cancelled!”

Following Melania’s tweet, Trump chimed in with one of his own. It was a tediously long and incoherent comment that affirmed Melania’s anti-free press sentiments babbling about “Kimmel’s despicable call to violence,” and demanding that “Jimmy Kimmel should be immediately fired by Disney and ABC.”

Of course, nothing in Kimmel’s jokes advocated anything approaching violence. Melania’s widow glow could be the result of Trump’s advanced age, poor health, and fast food diet. To the contrary, it is Trump who has been relentlessly “corrosive” and “despicable” and that promoted “political sickness.” In a 60 Minutes special segment Sunday night, Trump told Norah O’Donnell that “I do think the hate speech of the Democrats is very dangerous, much more so.” That was right after he called O’Donnell “a horrible person” and a “disgrace.” Never mind that a report by his own Justice Department found that it is right-wingers who have been responsible for most political violence.

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

Trump’s DoJ later tried (but failed) to disappear that report. In the meantime, Trump has literally called for the death of sitting members of Congress. He celebrated the death of lifelong public servant and decorated veteran, Robert Mueller. And he has maligned Democrats and the press as “treasonous,” “lunatics,” “vermin,” and “the enemy of the people.” So any complaints that he – or Melania – have now about divisive rhetoric are – to put it in technical terms – BULLSHIT!

DISGUSTING: Trump Uses White House Correspondents Dinner Shooting to Justify His Vanity Ballroom

Posted by on April 26, 2026 at 12:52 pm. 0 Comments :

On Saturday night there was yet another incidence of gun violence in America. This time it took place at a the annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner (WHCD) in Washington, D.C. where Donald Trump was attending for the first time as president. And unlike previous shootings at elementary schools or churches, Republicans are actually making demands that “something” be done about it.

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

Trump Penthouse Phone

Less than an hour after the shooting, Trump was back at the White House giving reporters a carelessly premature account of what happened, complete with praise for himself mixed in with some for law enforcement. But most bizarre was his segue to justifying his vanity ballroom as a solution to the sort of shooting that occurred at the WHCD. It’s just the latest sales pitch for the architectural monstrosity that he is building. Earlier this year he made an impassioned (and deranged) plea for the pointless structure.

SEE THIS: Trump Posts an Utterly INSANE, Lie-Riddled Rant to Justify His $400 Million Vanity Ballroom

In Trump’s post-shooting press conference he thought it was relevant to mention his ballroom project, asserting that it was necessary just for situations like this and falsely claiming that the Secret Service, the military, and unspecified others have been demanding it for 250 years.

Never mind that there is no way that the ballroom would have prevented this shooting. But that didn’t stop the White House from reportedly coordinating a social media campaign to advocate for the ballroom within minutes of the shooting. However, a private journalism organization could not have held their event on White House grounds. Although he is hosting a UFC fight there later this year, so you never know how low he will go.

Trump followed up his televised ballroom pitch the next morning with a comment posted on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, saying that…

“What happened last night is exactly the reason that our great Military, Secret Service, Law Enforcement and, for different reasons, every President for the last 150 years, have been DEMANDING that a large, safe, and secure Ballroom be built ON THE GROUNDS OF THE WHITE HOUSE. This event would never have happened with the Militarily Top Secret Ballroom currently under construction at the White House.” […]

“The ridiculous Ballroom lawsuit, brought by a woman walking her dog, who has absolutely No Standing to bring such a suit, must be dropped, immediately.”

Contrary to Trump’s ludicrous lie that the lawsuit challenging the ballroom was brought “by a woman walking her dog,” it was, in fact, brought by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, who argued that the administration failed to conduct mandatory reviews and get congressional approval for the $400 million dollar project. A federal judge agreed and temporarily halted the project pending compliance with the required legal processes. The judge also affirmed that the plaintiff had legal standing.

As for the alleged “dog walker” in Trump’s vivid imagination, it is likely Alison K. Hoagland, an architectural historian who submitted a declaration about the damage the proposed ballroom would cause to the White House, the neighborhood, and the social and cultural ambience of the city. But she is not the plaintiff. Also, she doesn’t have a dog.

While it is way too soon to speculate about the motives and details of the shooting, it’s hard not to wonder why this happened now, to a historically unpopular president who desperately needs a PR boost, at an event that he hated and would love to have sabotaged. The shooting provides a convenient benefit for Trump who appears to valiantly survive an assassination attempt, and the WHCD, where he has felt humiliated by comedians in the past, is cancelled. And you know that Trump wouldn’t want to sit through the awards to journalists who reported on his failures that were to be given out at the Dinner.

Trump said that the Dinner would be rescheduled in 30 days. But with Trump, such promises almost never come to pass. The War against Iran was supposed to be over in less than 30 days, but now it’s been nearly twice that. And we’ve still never seen his healthcare plan, his taxes, or the rest of the Epstein files. So don’t hold your breath, America. In the meantime, ponder this…

Trump Reveals that He is a Bipartisan Racist in a Pair of Disgusting Truth Social Posts

Posted by on April 25, 2026 at 1:01 pm. 0 Comments :

The flaming bigotry of Donald Trump is not exactly a breaking news story. He has displayed his racial hatred for decades in a virtually prideful manner, and shamelessly exploits it to secure the support of the small but obnoxiously loud community of American bigots.

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

Donald Trump, MAGA

For the most part Trump’s prejudices have been directed at his political foes on the left. He routinely describes Democrats and civil rights leaders as racists in an effort to deflect attention from himself and to diffuse the term of any meaning. For instance…

SEE THIS: Jasmine Crockett Tells the Truth About Trump, So He is Attacking Her and Other Women of Color

While most of Trump’s racist attacks just happen to fall on Black women, he does sometimes broaden his attacks to include Black men, including Don Lemon and Charlamagne Tha God. But on Saturday morning Trump went after the Democratic House Leader, Hakeem Jeffries, saying that…

“Hakeem “High Tax” Jeffries is a Low IQ individual who is not smart enough to be ‘running’ the Democrat Party, and certainly not smart enough to be involved in running the United States of America.”

Trump’s “Low IQ” epithet is a big part of his extraordinarily limited vocabulary. And it is aimed almost exclusively at Black men and women who dare to oppose him. What made Trump’s outburst on this occasion slightly different is that he also called one of his most fervent MAGA supporters “Low IQ” just a few minutes after insulting Jeffries with it. He railed at ultra-rightist Candace Owens, who recently criticized Trump over his Iran war, saying that…

“Candace Owens’ stock, which was never very high, has fallen a long way…she is an extremely Low IQ individual!”

So Trump is demonstrating that he has the capacity to be a bipartisan racist, demeaning the intelligence of Black people on both the left and right ends of the political spectrum. Of course, he still directs the vast majority of this abuse at left-leaning Black women including Kamala Harris, Jasmine Crockett, Maxine Waters, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, and Rashida Tlaib, all of whom he has called “Low IQ.”

In yet another affirmation of Trump’s inbred racism, this week he ordered his “Justice” Department to prosecute the Southern Poverty Law Center, a non-profit enterprise that has been fighting racial hate organizations for 50 years. And of course, their preposterous, legally meritless allegations are that the SPLC is itself racist. The real objective of the persecution is to defend groups like the KKK that form the base of Trump’s MAGA cult.

In the Trump era he has had some success at making it acceptable to be openly racist, at least within the already racist MAGA communities. It will be interesting to see if they continue to back him now that he has launched his invective at the Blacks that they have tolerated because they embraced Trump.

The MAGA cult has lately been showing cracks in their foundation. Will this topple it completely? Probably not. But combined with his broken promises to refrain from starting new wars, and to release the Epstein files, and to lower prices for gas, groceries, etc. the ground beneath Trump’s empire may be turning into quicksand.

UM…NOPE: Karoline Leavitt Tells Fox News ‘When Trump Says He’ll Do Something, He’ll Do It’

Posted by on April 21, 2026 at 2:06 pm. 1 Comments :

Before Donald Trump ran for president, he had a regular weekly segment on Fox News that was called “Mondays With Trump” wherein he phoned in an interview with the “Curvy Couch” potatoes of Fox and Friends. It served as a promotional vehicle and free campaign ad from 2011 until he came down his golden escalator in 2015.

Donald Trump and Karoline Leavitt

Today Trump continues to appear regularly on Fox News, his official Ministry of Propaganda. But that’s not all. His daughter-in-lawlessness, Lara Trump, has her own weekend show. His Cabinet members are on Fox’s air daily. And his Propaganda Secretary has a recurring spot on Sean Hannity’s program that he calls the “Hannity Washington Briefing” featuring Karoline Leavitt. From the start of Trump’s re-occupation of the White House, Leavitt has made Fox News her home away from home.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Anti-Press Secretary Talks More to Fox News than to Reporters in the White House

On Monday evening Leavitt was on duty with Hannity where she made some of her routinely ridiculous remarks intended to fluff her boss. She began by complaining about the media observing that “the United States is in a worse off position than we were at the start” of the Iran war. That’s objectively true considering that 13 American troops were killed, more than 400 injured, and thousands of Iranian civilians have died. What’s more, the Strait of Hormuz, which was open before the war, remains closed causing severe product shortages and price increases around the world.

But Leavitt was just getting started. She went on to invent a profile of Trump’s alleged leadership (huh?) and steadiness (whut?), saying that…

“Trump has been the steady leader our country needs throughout this entire endeavor and again, thanks to the success of this entire military operation and his hardline negotiating style, we’re on the brink of a deal. […]

“President Trump has proven before he does not bluff. When he makes a promise, he follows through on it. And I’m not sure why after 10 years of covering this president, the American media still cannot understand when President Trump says he’s going to do something, he’s going to do it.”

The ability to see leadership, and especially steadiness, in Trump requires a massive dose of cult programming. But more to the point, one thing that Trump is well known for is not doing what he says he’s going to do. It’s such a common flaw that it has its own acronym: TACO: Trump Always Chickens Out. And if you need some more proof, there’s this…

As for Trump’s war against Iran, he has claimed to be “on the brink of a deal” too many times to count. But no deal has emerged. To the contrary, the latest news is that the peace talks have completely broken down.

Even worse, Trump has promised to annihilate everyone in the country if their leaders didn’t submit to his demands. He threatened that “A whole civilization will die” if the Hormuz Strait weren’t opened. He also raged that they must “Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell.” And yet, it seems that every other day Trump is either celebrating that an incredible deal has been reached, or is issuing new deranged threats.

If that is what Leavitt thinks is leadership and steadiness, I don’t ever want know what she thinks being weak and fickle are. Because to every other conscious observer the strength that Trump projects is the human personification of creamed corn.

Trump Blames Himself for His Iran War Fiasco, and Brags About Hate-Watching Lots of ‘FAKE NEWS’

Posted by on April 20, 2026 at 2:11 pm. 0 Comments :

When Donald Trump launched his war against Iran he promised that it would be won easily and quickly. He claimed to have achieved victory just a few hours after it began. Then he claimed victory again and again and again, every couple of days for the past seven weeks. And after each declaration he resumed offensive military operations against the country he claimed to have already defeated.

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

Trump baby with Iran map

Somehow Trump keeps prosecuting this war, and even escalating it to include more troop deployments and psychopathically genocidal threats against the civilian population of Iran, who he has said he is trying to liberate.

SEE THIS: Trump’s INSANE Threats and War Crimes Against Iran are Dismissed by His Acting Attorney General

In the process, Trump’s massive yet fragile ego was hurt by the analysis of Middle East experts who have concluded that he launched his war against Iran at the behest of Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, So Trump posted a comment on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, to deny that Netanyahu had anything to do with the decision to go to war, and was it was all Trump’s idea. But as usual, he expects everyone to just take his word for it, despite his rock solid reputation as a pathological liar. Trump raged that…

“Israel never talked me into the war with Iran, the results of Oct. 7th, added to my lifelong opinion that IRAN CAN NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON, did.”

So Trump is taking full responsibility for the fiasco in Iran. That’s big of him. But he wants people to believe that he started the war because of the terrorist attack in Israel on October 7, 2023, by Hamas. Trump’s story is that he is now leading the United States to retaliate against Iran for something that Hamas did three years ago to Israelis.

Therefore, the U.S. is just defending the interests of Israel, and Netanyahu had nothing to do with it? Too bad Trump won’t do that for Ukraine, where Russia has killed tens of thousands more innocent civilians. But then he would have to defy his idol and mentor, Vladimir Putin. That’s not gonna happen.

Trump, however. was just getting started. His post went on to complain about the free press who have been doing their job reporting on the war and Trump’s maze of explanations and excuses for it. According to Trump…

“I watch and read the FAKE NEWS Pundits and Polls in total disbelief. 90% of what they say are lies and made up stories, and the polls are rigged, much as the 2020 Presidential Election was rigged.”

REALLY? So Trump spends quite a bit of his time perusing the media that he holds in contempt and regularly maligns as “the enemy of the people.” And in his warped opinion the vast majority of what is reported (90%) “are lies and made up stories.” But he keeps watching and reading it anyway? He is particularly disturbed by the polls that currently show him in record low territory. Even his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News…

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

Despite the accuracy of the bleak reporting and dismal surveys, Trump continues trying to deceive Americans that the news is all good. He insists that “the results in Iran will be amazing” and that he will prevail with the help of “Iran’s new leaders (Regime Change!).” Never mind the new Ayatollah is the even more radical son of the old Ayatollah, and that the same Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is running the country.

No one knows how long these hostilities will continue. But it’s safe to say that Trump’s lies will persist for as long he presents some semblance of cognitive functionality. Which by all available indications, won’t be for very much longer.

Trump’s Outrage at Iran for Blockading Hormuz Has Driven Him to New Depths of Depravity

Posted by on April 12, 2026 at 2:18 pm. 1 Comments :

The peace talks between the United States and Iran that Donald Trump announced with such great fanfare, have already collapsed after only one day. Trump had predicted that they would lead to an agreement with Iran surrendering to his every demand.

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

Donald Trump, Insane, Straight Jacket

Instead, the war will continue indefinitely with Trump promising even more savage attacks and threats of war crimes that violate international law. In the meantime, Trump remains laser-focused on who he regards as America’s real enemies…

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

The day after the charade of peace talks broke down, Trump took to his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, to lash out with unbridled anger at Iran and pretty much the rest of the entire world that isn’t submitting to his divine will. He posted an interminably long comment that said in part that…

“Effective immediately, the United States Navy, the Finest in the World, will begin the process of BLOCKADING any and all Ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz. […] I have also instructed our Navy to seek and interdict every vessel in International Waters that has paid a toll to Iran. No one who pays an illegal toll will have safe passage on the high seas.”

These remarks contain a bucket load of bullpucky. Let’s break them down, shall we? To begin with, it is a pitiful demonstration of Trump’s derangement that he is complaining about Iran blockading the Strait of Hormuz, and that his solution to that atrocity is blockade Hormuz himself. This is obviously a negotiating tactic that Trump learned from the movie Blazing Saddles…

Trump also made a point of threatening every ship that pays a toll to Iran to go through the Strait. That is a wide ranging threat that could impact much of the world including China, Russia, India, Iraq, Pakistan, Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia, Japan, and Greece, who have all already made agreements for safe passage. There is no evidence at the present time if those agreements included paying Iran. However, if Trump were to carry out his threat, it could expand the conflict to World War status by dragging countries like China and Russia into it. They would likely be very unhappy if the U.S. were to interdict their ships.

Another problem with this threat is that there is no way to know whether any nation has paid a toll to Iran. Particularly if the tolls are paid with cryptocurrency. Neither Iran nor the countries currently traversing the Strait have disclosed whether any funds were transferred.

There is also a glaring hypocrisy in Trump’s threat. After all, when tolls were previously brought up, he didn’t shy away from them. Rather, he simply said that he would make sure that the U.S. got a cut. “We’re thinking of doing it as a joint venture,” Trump said. And that “It’s a beautiful thing.” What’s more, Trump still hasn’t explained how Iran could blockade the Strait since he insists that “Their Navy is gone, their Air Force is gone.”

So in response to an Iranian blockade, Trump threatens to make his own blockade, also threatens the world’s shipping trades, forgets his joint toll offer, and ignores his prior claims that Iran had been totally defeated. Is that the behavior of a “stable genius.” Trump doesn’t belong in the Strait of Hormuz. He belongs in a straight jacket.

Trump Lies and Threatens CNN Over a Story He Falsely Claims Was Fake News From Nigeria About Iran

Posted by on April 8, 2026 at 3:43 pm. 1 Comments :

Now that Trump has claimed victory over Iran – after repeatedly claiming imaginary victories in the past six weeks – he is bragging about how masterful his negotiating skills are that led to this outcome. Never mind that the alleged ceasefire that Trump is touting is already reported to have been broken, and that few if any of his demands have been met.

Donald Trump, CNN

True to form, Trump is laser focused on on the facade of leadership that he seeks to present. He has always been more interested in appearances than substantive results. And to that end, he is reverting to his standard operating procedure of bashing the free press should they report anything about him that is less than gushingly adoring. In his diseased mind, he must be worshiped at all times, and at all costs…

The ceasefire deal that Trump claims to have struck will supposedly reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which was already open before the reckless and illegal war that he started. Only now it will be controlled by Iran who will be charging fees to pass through it. Iran will also get sanctions relief in this deal, and their oil will be selling for much more on the global markets. And all it cost the United States was a few billion dollars and thousands of innocent Iranian lives, as well as thirteen American troops.

Trump proudly posted a comment announcing the deal on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, saying that, subject to Iran agreeing, he would “suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks.” Because everything that Trump does happens (or more accurately, doesn’t happen) in a two week span, from revealing his healthcare plan to releasing the Epstein files. This time he’s reneging his prior promise that “A whole civilization will die tonight.”

Then, in pursuit of more surface level adulation, Trump lashed out at CNN for publishing a story about the ceasefire. Naturally, Trump’s position contained an abundance of anger and a litany of lies. He wrote that “The alleged Statement put out by CNN World News is a FRAUD,” and made a bizarre charge, without any evidence, that “The false Statement was linked to a Fake News site (from Nigeria).” But then he elaborated with an overt, albeit impotent, threat…

“Authorities are looking to determine whether or not a crime was committed on the issuance of the Fake CNN World Statement, or was it a sick rogue player? CNN is being ordered to immediately withdraw this Statement with full apologies for their, as usual, terrible ‘reporting.’ Results of the investigation will be announced in the near future. President DONALD J. TRUMP”

So Trump is seeking to criminally prosecute CNN for publishing a story that he doesn’t like. And furthermore, he is “ordering” them to retract the story and apologize to him. That is the tyrannical behavior of a confirmed fascist who thinks that he has the right to dominate the press. Which is nothing new for Trump.

For the record, CNN is standing by their story. They claim that it is well sourced and accurate. As reported by Deadline…

“CNN is defending its reporting on the statement. A spokesperson said, ‘The statement in question was obtained by CNN from Iranian officials and reported on multiple Iranian state media outlets. We received the statement from specific official Iranian spokespeople who are known to us.'”

To make matters worse, Trump’s FCC boss, Brendan Carr, joined in the attack on CNN. Without conducting any investigation or research, Carr charged that CNN’s conduct was “outrageous,” and that they were “pushing out a hoax headline,” and that “this requires accountability.”

So Carr is also threatening CNN, even though he has no authority over cable news networks. He closed with an ominous taunt that it is “Time for change at CNN.” [Note: Trump’s billionaire pals David and Larry Ellison are in the process of acquiring Warner Bros/Discovery, which also owns CNN]

This sort of government bullying of the media is what you might expect to see in dictatorships like Russia and North Korea. But considering that those countries are run by Trump’s idols and mentors, Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un, it shouldn’t surprise anyone that he is emulating their totalitarian tactics. Hopefully, he will be stopped by a new Democratic Congress and the American people who cherish freedom.
