Trump Praised a Clip From CNN (Fake News?) That He Played at His Rally – Here’s What He Left Out

Posted by on October 10, 2026 at 4:56 pm. 0 Comments :

For several months the polls for the upcoming midterm election have been showing signs of a massive Blue Tsunami that is predicted to flush out the Republican majorities in Congress. And as election day draws closer, the polls have only gotten worse for Donald Trump and his MAGA Party.

Donald Trump, CNN

As Trump and the GOP candidates he has endorsed flounder, Trump manages to retain his confidence that the only problem with the election is that the public hasn’t seen enough of Trump. Consequently, he has pledged to abandon his presidential duties and devote himself to rescuing his party. Although many of them are asking him not to bother. So he has narrowed his itinerary to mostly solid red states.

SEE THIS: GOOD NEWS: Trump Will Be Campaigning for Republicans ‘Every Single Day’ Until the Election

On Friday Trump took his red eye rally express to Syracuse, New York. And while there he thought it would be a good idea to play a deceitfully edited video of something he saw on CNN. Not only was this video from a network that he despises, but it was on a subject that he insists is totally corrupt: Polling. Nevertheless, Trump introduced the clip saying that…

“I saw a chart, because CNN is very unfriendly territory, they’re fake news, but this time I believe them 100%. Because they did a chart, and I respect them for putting it up, but they did a couple of very important charts.”

Whereupon Trump played the video of CNN’s data analyst, Harry Enten, saying that…

“MAGA GOP on Trump in the 2024 election versus Kamala Harris he got 99% of the MAGA GOP vote. But surprisingly. I might have thought it would be 100%. But it was 99%. Compare that to his approval rating now with the MAGA GOP. It’s 98%. That is, there has been no real decline in MAGA support.”

Enten concluded that Trump’s support among the MAGA GOP is “really holding up strong.” And why not? IT’S A CULT! However, what Trump didn’t play for his cult rally devotees was the remainder of the CNN segment where Enten revealed that only 50-60% of Republicans identify as MAGA. Which means that, since only 28% of U.S. adults identify directly as Republicans, MAGA is only about 14-17% of the electorate.

Enten went on to note what he called a “troubling sign for Republicans,” that Trump’s approval among all Republicans declined by 14 points (from 94% to 80%) since 2024. And those Republicans who strongly approved of Trump declined by 24 points (from 71% to 47%, less than half) since the beginning of 2025.

It is so monumentally hypocritical and dishonest for Trump to brag about CNN’s reporting, when he only shows a small piece of it. The rest of the segment showed how dismal Trump’s standing is with the Republican Party and the American people. He left all of that out. And he calls CNN fake news?

It’s kind of funny that Trump is embracing something that he saw on CNN, a network that he relentlessly accuses of being treasonous Even worse, it’s one of the networks that he has actually banned from covering him. But now, because he – or more likely someone on his staff (Natalie Harp?) – was able to cherry-pick a few seconds that he thinks makes him look good, he “believes them 100%.”

Trump can do this because he knows that none of his gullible cult disciples will ever see the parts of the video that he cut out. They don’t watch CNN. Furthermore, he knows that his MAGA-tists are going to fawn over whatever he says. And it’s because of them that he thinks he is universally beloved, even though they are a tiny minority. So he runs around the country thinking that his presence will produce a nationwide Republican victory.

Trump may be sorely disappointed when the actual election results come in. And when they do, he will become the lamest of ducks. Although he will still just say the election was rigged. Because he thinks he’s infallible and more popular than Jesus.

Crybaby Trump Blasts Fox News for Not Airing His Pitiful Campaign Cult Rallies Live

Posted by on October 4, 2026 at 3:23 pm. 1 Comments :

The 2026 midterm election is now only one month away. And the dismal prospects for Donald Trump and his MAGA Republican comrades are driving them ever deeper into a debilitating panic as they fail to see any path to escape their electoral debacle.

Donald Trump, Fox News, White House

In desperation Trump is insisting, as usual, that he alone is the cure for the GOP’s woes. Consequently, he has scheduled a campaign tour featuring himself with an itinerary that is targeting exclusively red states where Republicans shouldn’t have to worry about the results. But they are.

SEE THIS: GOOD NEWS: Trump Will Be Campaigning for Republicans ‘Every Single Day’ Until the Election

Trump’s crusade is not being received by his MAGA confederates with the enthusiasm that he likely believes it deserves. In fact, many of them are asking that he stay away, or are declining to take the stage with him. It appears that the only politicians who are excited by this Trump junket are Democrats who recognize that his record high disapproval will only drag the GOP candidates farther down.

Ordinarily Trump could rely on his official Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, to grease the wheels of his whistle-slopping. But apparently even Fox has grown fatigued. While their primetime Trump-fluffing hours still slather him with adoration, Trump isn’t satisfied that they are fulfilling their hype duties. So he posted his discontent in a tediously lengthy comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. It’s too boring and asinine to repost here in full, but what follows are a few choice excerpts. He begins by whining that it’s…

“Sad to see that Fox & Friends (Sunday) is not covering our packed house and incredibly enthusiastic (beyond!) Rally…They were all sold out.”

Yes. It’s so sad. It’s also sad that those rallies were not packed. On site reports say that nearly half the seats were empty. Also, it is impossible for an event to be “sold out” if it doesn’t cost anything to get in. Trump continued…

“Our people want to see our Rallies, and reports on our Rallies, on FoxNews, or they will very quickly stop watching (like I am doing right now!).”

Trump is right that his cult followers want to see his rallies on Fox News. However, whether they will stop watching is an open question. After all, Trump’s own claim that he isn’t watching is a flagrant lie. How else would he know that the rallies weren’t covered? Trump continued…

“Fix spends more time talking to Communists, Socialists, and Dumocrats.”

FYI: “Fix” is not a typo. Trump is now referring to the network as fixed. And he has also taken to making preposterous accusations that they are interviewing more Democrats than Republicans.

Trump continued…

“We don’t like stupid Jessica Tarlov, and all of the others, that are forced down MAGA’S throats.”

This is also true. Trump and his cult devotees hate Jessica Tarlov. Just like they hate all smart women who they are unable to rebut. They only want to have the bullshittery of bona fide Trumpists shoved down their throats. Trump continued…

“Phenomenal ratings for those that properly report…Who makes these decisions at FoxNews?”

Trump thinks that ratings for Fox News would be better if they aired his explosive diarhetoric live 24/7. However, the networks that do commit more airtime to his rallies are so lowly rated that Nielsen doesn’t even measure them. Which may be one of the reasons that Trump launched his own channel that he humbly calls “Trump TV.” And it has really gone wild with a throbbing audience of about 150 viewers.

Trump is Pushing the Sunshine Protection Act to Make Daylight Saving Time Permanent. Here’s Why

Posted by on October 3, 2026 at 1:32 pm. 0 Comments :

It isn’t often that Donald Trump comes out in favor of something that has bipartisan support. Ordinarily he is laser focused on backing, or even purposely creating, issues that divide the American people. He likes nothing better than to set up phony political confrontations in which he can try to demonize Democrats.

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

Donald Trump Pacifier Fox

So it may come as some surprise that Trump is enthusiastically backing the Sunshine Protection Act (SPA) that would make Daylight Saving Time (DST) permanent. The bill has already passed in the House, and likely has the votes to pass in the Senate as well. Of course, any assumption that Trump is actually concerned about the welfare of the people or the nation is wildly off base.

SEE THIS: OH BOY: More Pollution and Higher Gas Bills as Trump Rolls Back Fuel Efficiency Standards

Trump revealed why he is supporting the SPA in a comment that he posted to his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social on Saturday morning. His remarks were typically longwinded and barely coherent, saying in part that…

“Nobody wants to spend their precious time running all over the place, turning Clocks back twice a year and, having sunshine in the afternoon is better than early in the morning! […] Golfers, Tennis Players, Hunters and, perhaps most importantly, Farmers who want more Daylight to play or work. […] Almost everybody wants ‘The Sunshine Protection Act’ to pass, except for Tom Cotton…Call Tom on his cellphone at, 479-453-0533, and let him know.”

However that was not the revealing part. Trump’s post also included a copy of a letter that he received from Brian Rolapp, CEO of the PGA Tour. Rolapp’s letter included the following argument in favor of passing the SPA (emphasis added)…

“The National Golf Course Owners Association (NGCOA) estimates that permanent DST would generate 23 million additional rounds per year and $1 billion annually in new direct revenue for the golf industry — an average of $250,000 per facility. The NGCOA has also found that afternoon and evening tee times generate roughly 40 percent more revenue than morning play.”

A billion dollars a year for golf course owners. And it’s surely just a coincidence that Trump owns eleven golf resorts in the United States. That’s a pretty strong financial incentive to support making Daylight Saving Time permanent. And it would explain why Trump is badgering his fellow Republican, Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas, to get him to drop his opposition. Although Cotton doesn’t seem particularly eager to comply with Trump’s demands…

Cotton’s rebuttal isn’t very persuasive. If he’s afraid that Arkansans will have to wake up before sunrise, or send their kids to school in the dark, all they would have to do is change the hours that they do those things. For instance, start school an hour later in the winter. Then the entire nation of more than 360,000,000 doesn’t have to change their clocks, and tolerate earlier sunsets, just to accommodate those parents of young children.

There are arguments on both sides of the DST debate. Some doctors say that Standard Time is healthier. But that’s offset by the health risks caused by the biannual changing of the clocks, which include higher rates of heart attacks and strokes, more auto accidents in the darkened evening hours when there is more traffic, and the environmental harm done by increased use of energy for lighting and heating when the sun sets earlier.

While there are much more important issues that need to be addressed, this one presents a rare opportunity for a bipartisan accord on a matter that people care about. And coming right before a critical election makes it all the more significant. And it even has Trump’s support, albeit for selfish reasons.

However, it’s being hung up by a Republican who suddenly isn’t afraid to defy Dear Leader. These MAGA Republicans go along with Trump on virtually everything, such as waging an illegal war against Iran, protecting pedophiles associated with Jeffrey Epstein, backing inflationary tariffs, and building monuments to exalt our Narcissist-in-Chief. But on this issue Sen. Cotton has summoned the courage to stand up to Trump?

The Republican Party really does seem determined to convince the American people that they are weak-kneed nut cases who need to be voted out of office as soon as possible. And fortunately, the people will have that opportunity in the next few weeks. In the meantime, you can give Cotton a call at the number helpfully provided by Trump if you want to keep Daylight Saving time.

Deranged Trump FREAKS OUT: Says Fox News Gives More Airtime to Democrats than MAGA Sicko-phants

Posted by on September 30, 2026 at 3:38 pm. 0 Comments :

The love/hate relationship that Donald Trump has with the media is textbook case of malignant Narcissism. He desperately needs to be the center of attention at all times, while simultaneously demanding that all references to him be worshipful.

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

Donald Trump, Wah

The result of this psychotic dichotomy is that Trump is constantly in a state of high anxiety because he simply can’t tolerate not having the unflinching adoration he craves from 24/7 press coverage. He responds to this by inventing a world wherein he is universally beloved, despite the reality in which he is floundering at record lows of public approval. In his world that is all “fake news.”

SEE THIS: Trump Says the Media are ‘Sick, Treasonous, Demented’ ‘SLEAZEBAGS’ – Because They Cover Him?

Trump’s derangement sometimes manifests in uniquely bizzarre ways. For example, on Wednesday morning Trump posted a comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, that directly attacked his official Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News. Apparently he woke up to something on TV that was less than sufficiently adoring, so he raged that…

“Why does FoxNews always put Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, Jessica Tarlov, and every Democrat on, saying bad things about the Republican Party and, of course, me? I actually think they get more airtime than Pro Republicans. This is why MAGA, and REAL Patriots, will never like Fox! They repeat a completely negative narrative, on and on it goes, and then we get a quick retort. It’s truly amazing that I won all three Elections. The opposition is enormous, but the fight goes on!”

Let’s set aside the ludicrous notion that Fox News shouldn’t ever have the Democratic leaders of the House and Senate on the air. Trump is also disturbed that Fox gives airtime to Jessica Tarlov, the lone liberal on their radically partisan right-wing panel program, The Five.

More to the point is that Trump believes that there should never be any criticism of him or his MAGA GOP comrades on Fox News. Even more ridiculous, he believes that Fox actually gives more airtime to his Democratic critics than to his wingnut cult devotees. And if that isn’t crazy enough, he also thinks that because of that preposterous analysis, the ultra-conservatives who venerate him “will never like Fox!” Who does he think is watching? That is, besides him.

Trump offers as validation of his anti-Fox commentary the lie that he “won all three elections.” By that he is including the election of 2020, that he lost. But in his mind his imaginary winning streak is evidence that something is wrong with the media, because he manages to prevail even though everybody is against him. Poor paranoid baby.

What we know for sure is that Trump is not unaware of the overwhelming support he gets from Fox News. Every single program host – Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Jesse Watters, Will Cain, Bret Baier, Greg Gutfeld, and the the “Curvy Couch” potatoes on Fox and Friends – are certified Trump-fluffers.

And yet Trump’s dementia produces the illusion that Fox News is a network where “they repeat a completely negative narrative,” and “the opposition is enormous.” With mental impairment that severe, there is really nothing left to say. Except that it is imperative that Trump be diminished in power for the remaining time that he occupies the White House.

Which is where every voter in America comes in. Since we can’t rely on Republicans in Congress to act responsibly, we must vote them all out. Early voting begins in the next week in many places. And November is just around the corner. Make a plan to vote, and take your friends and family with you.

GOOD NEWS: Trump Will Be Campaigning for Republicans ‘Every Single Day’ Until the Election

Posted by on September 29, 2026 at 11:03 am. 0 Comments :

With the midterm election now only about one month away, the Trump regime is getting more desperate to turn around the abysmal prospects predicted for Trump and his MAGA Republican confederates. And as Trump becomes more desperate, he becomes more unhinged.

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

Donald Trump

Virtually every poll shows that Democrats are heading toward blowout victories that could wind up with them in the majority in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. Those polls also show that Trump is trailing Democrats on just about all of the issues that Americans regard as most important, including the economy and Trump’s reckless and illegal war against Iran.

SEE THIS: Fox News Poll Says ‘Democrats Are Considered the Party that Would Better Handle…’ EVERYTHING!

In a bid to prevent the Trump Titanic from sinking, his former Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, visited Fox News to deliver what she must have thought would be good news for her fellow Republicans (video below). She said that…

“I was with the president today, checking in with our friend and my old boss, and I will tell you he is ready to hit the road. He will be on the road almost every single day in the month of October, campaigning for Republicans up and down the ballot, and drawing this contrast between the common sense vision that he shares with Republicans on Capitol Hill, and the far-left vision of the radical Democrats who are on the ballot who we cannot allow control of this city.”

HOORAY! So while the nation is embroiled in the war that Trump started – and is losing – in Iran, and while Americans are struggling to make ends meet, Trump will be devoting his time and energy to campaigning for his MAGA comrades. That is if he can tear himself away from his pet projects to build a vanity ballroom and invade Greenland.

The best part of this news is that any attention that Trump gives to Republican candidates will probably make them less likely to prevail in November. That’s why many of them are asking him to stay away. and if he shows up uninvited, they don’t attend the event with him. The only people happier about Trump’s promise to campaign are Democrats nationwide.

However, Leavitt wasn’t finished with her pathetic propagandizing. She added some commentary on her views of what Democrats stand for. And it was as bizarre a spectacle as you can imagine. She enumerated policies that Democrats never held, and which were actually completely fabricated, over-the-top bullshittery. And she had the gall to declare at the end of her harangue that it was “not an exaggeration.”

“Over the next 35 days Republicans – and I know president Trump is going to do it – must ruthlessly prosecute the Democrats as who they are. Extreme, far-left liberals who want to destroy our economy, want to take away your private property, raise your taxes, take your hard-earned money, abolish prisons, abolish police, open our borders to insane people all over this world, and end America as we know her and love her. That is not an exaggeration.”

SERIOUSLY! Do you remember when Democrats promised to “destroy our economy,” and “take away your private property,” and “abolish prisons,” and “open our borders to insane people”? Yeah, neither does anyone else. And if this is the caliber of campaigning that Trump will be engaging in for the next month, Democrats are going to need a venue even bigger than Trump’s giant ballroom to hold their post-election celebration.

That said, take nothing for granted. Be sure to vote and get all of your friends and family to vote. We can’t just rely on the stupidity of Trump and Republicans, no matter how reliable that is.

Fox News Poll Says ‘Democrats Are Considered the Party that Would Better Handle…’ EVERYTHING!

Posted by on September 17, 2026 at 1:36 pm. 0 Comments :

The 2026 midterm election is looking like it will be a historic catastrophe for Donald Trump with Democrats winning majorities in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. Of course, as baseball legend Yogi Berra said “it aint over till it’s over.” So voters need to actually cast their votes in numbers too big to rig before they declare victory.

Donald Trump, Biggest Loser

The latest evidence that Republicans are in full collapse is a new poll by Fox News. That’s right…Fox News – Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda – has just released a poll that affirms all of the previous polling that designates Trump as this year’s biggest loser. Not that he is cognitively capable of acknowledging it…

SEE THIS: Delusional Trump: ‘My REAL Polling Numbers Are the Best They Have Ever Been’ – OK Grandpa

Because the poll was so negative for the MAGA media network, it was only briefly discussed on the air. And they left out most of the really juicy stuff. But Fox News hack John Roberts manages to find a dishonest slant with which to introduce the segment, saying that “I guess voters are hankering for the old days of 9% inflation.” [NOTE: President Biden reduced inflation to 2.9% by the end of his term, and Trump has driven it back up to 3.4%].

Fox News details new Fox News polling that is BRUTAL for Trump — there's been a 15 point swing on inflation toward Democrats over the last four years (note how salty John Roberts is about this)

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-09-17T18:05:18.720Z

The details of the Fox News poll are almost entirely bad news for Trump and his MAGA movement. What follows are some of the lowlights that are driving Trump and his comrades crazy(er), and leading them to engage in desperation tactics such as accusing all Democrats of being communists.

FROM THE FOX NEWS POLL…

“Overall, nearly two-thirds of voters (63%) say the Trump administration has made the economy worse, including a quarter of Republicans.”

“By a wide margin, the Democrats are considered the party that would better handle inflation at a time when the cost of living and the economy are voters’ top concerns…Costs of everyday items are a hardship for voters.”
[NOTE: On every issue polled – gas, groceries, healthcare, housing, tariffs, Iran – a majority say they are dissatisfied with Trump.]

“Only 8% are enthusiastic about how the government is working, with another 23% satisfied. A 68% majority is unhappy, including a high of 33% who are ‘angry.'”

“Independents favor the Democratic candidate 53-31%.”

“Those with a negative view of both the Democratic and the Republican Party (‘double haters’) favor the Democratic candidate in their district by a 26-point margin.”

“A Trump endorsement made [voters] less likely to support a candidate by a 15-point margin…(25% more likely, 51% less likely).”

“53% say the Trump administration is more corrupt than previous administrations.”

“Nearly two-thirds support raising taxes on the wealthy.”

“Fifty-seven percent say the way capitalism works in the U.S. these days doesn’t give people a fair shot, up from 42% in 2019. That shift spans political views, increasing among Democrats (by 17 points), Republicans (+13), and independents (+22).”

Numbers like these just 47 days before a critical election are devastating for the already demoralized Republicans. And it doesn’t help that Trump is demanding that GOP candidates feature him in their campaigns. At a recent rally Trump insisted that voters “pretend that [Trump] is on the ballot.” And given how universally he is despised, that’s an idea that Democrats are also advocating.

See? Trump has found common ground with Democrats. However, Trump’s own party is not on board. Many of them are dodging him and asking him to stay away. His recent Trump-a-Palooza rally in Dallas was a pitiful failure. In fact, if Trump insists on staying in the spotlight for the next six weeks, it might be Republicans pushing to impeach him.

OH NOES! Ted Cruz Warns If Democrats Control Congress They Will Use it to Stop Trump’s Agenda

Posted by on September 16, 2026 at 3:31 pm. 2 Comments :

The Democratic Party has been enjoying a pretty healthy lead in the months prior to the 2026 midterm elections. Every poll predicts that they will win a majority in the House of Representatives, and most polls say the same about the Senate.

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

Ted Cruz, Donald Trump

There is little mystery as to why the Democrats are so strongly favored. On virtually every issue the America people agree with Democrats, including the issues of greatest concern to voters: the economy, healthcare, the Iran war, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and even immigration. Meanwhile, Republicans are burdened with a delusional leader in Donald Trump, who doesn’t even know where he is or what he’s saying.

SEE THIS: Delusional Trump: ‘My REAL Polling Numbers Are the Best They Have Ever Been’ – OK Grandpa

So it shouldn’t surprise anyone that one of Trump’s most devoted congressional comrades, Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, is making the MAGA media rounds to fluff Dear Leader, and to try to whip up interest among demoralized Republicans to turn out in November. Cruz, like Trump and the rest of the rattled right, is employing a strategy of desperation and fear in order to avoid an electoral blowout. So during an interview on Newsmax Cruz warned that…

“We are at real risk of losing both the House and Senate. So I am devoting every waking hour to raising money, to campaigning, to fighting to keep the Senate Republican, to keep the House Republican. If the Democrats take the Congress they will use it to fight with everything they can to stop Trump’s agenda. So I’m doing everything I can to stop that.”

HOLY CRAP! Are Democrats really running to obstruct Trump’s totalitarian aspirations? Do they really plan to halt and reverse his wreckage of the economy? Could they possibly be plotting to probe his grifting and self-enrichment? Would they bring his reckless and illegal wars to an end?

Yeah, Teddy Boy! That’s exactly what they’re doing. And it’s why they are winning. Your promise to fight their efforts to “stop Trump’s agenda” will be an enormous benefit – to the Democrats. So thanks for that. Maybe now you would like to cut a campaign ad accusing Democrats of conspiring to make healthcare available to everyone, lowering the price of gas and groceries, protecting the environment, restoring international relations, and preserving democracy.

Cruz is resorting to the sort of last ditch tactics of a party that knows it is doomed. Those tactics generally result in making their already dire circumstances even worse. That said, this is not the time for Democrats to get over confident. It’s not over til it’s over. And Democrats must remain committed and motivated until we have bona fide victories.

Which means that we need to vote in huge numbers. Vote early. Vote by mail. Get all of your friends and family to vote. Volunteer for campaigns and GOTV efforts. We need to make sure that we have the votes necessary to defeat the flagrant, unconstitutional, voter suppression measures that Trump and the GOP are already engaging in. LFG!

Trump Lies (Surprise) About the “Success” of His Midterm Trump-a-Paloozer That Was a Total Flop

Posted by on September 11, 2026 at 3:08 pm. 0 Comments :

Republicans are going into the 2026 midterm elections with a decidedly heavy burden to bear. That burden goes by the name of Donald Trump. And it is dragging down Republican candidates across the country, including in ordinarily conservative strongholds like Kansas, North Carolina, and Texas.

Donald Trump TV Set

At this point in Trump’s reoccupation of the White House he is suffering the lowest approval ratings of either of his deplorable terms in office. And to make matters worse, he is completely oblivious to his paltry popularity because he is also suffering from a case of Trump Derangement Syndrome whose symptoms include severe cognitive impairment.

SEE THIS: Delusional Trump: ‘My REAL Polling Numbers Are the Best They Have Ever Been’ – OK Grandpa

This week Trump featured himself in a political extravaganza in Dallas, Texas, that his operatives dubbed a Trump-a-Palooza. He delivered the keynote speeches on both nights of the pseudo-convention that was really nothing more than another Trump cult rally. And when he wrapped his first harangue on Wednesday Trump was quick declare it a success in a giddy comment that he posted on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. He bragged that…

“The Republican Midterm Convention last night, in Dallas, was a major, sold out hit, far bigger, better, and more important than anyone thought possible. It was really something, streaming all over the place, and really big numbers, despite going up against the NFL. The overall numbers beat the NFL. The Arena, which was really nice, beat its own attendance records. The place was packed! There were thousands of people outside who couldn’t get in. Screens were provided. I guess people LOVE TRUMP POLITICS! I’ll be there again tonight to close out the show. Exciting ‘Stuff!’ MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!”

There is just one problem with Trump’s glowing appraisal of TrumpFest. It is a pile of unmitigated bull manure. Not only was it not sold out, but the GOP couldn’t even give away enough free tickets to fill the arena. And regarding the “really big numbers” that “beat the NFL,” he couldn’t possibly know that since those ratings haven’t been released. Although it’s safe to assume that his affair didn’t get anywhere near the 20-30 million viewers that the NFL season opener usually gets. Particularly when the numbers we do have are so pitifully low. As reported by Deadline…

“The first night of Donald Trump‘s midterm convention failed to generate a ratings bounce for Fox News, with the audiences comparable or even slightly below regular primetime programming. […] During Donald Trump’s speech from 9 p.m. ET to 11 p.m. ET, Fox News averaged 2.5 million viewers. A year ago, during the month of September, Hannity drew an average of 2.89 million in the 9 p.m. ET hour and Gutfeld! garnered an average of 2.94 million at 10 p.m. ET.”

So Fox’s Big Trump Show resulted in lower ratings for the network with Trump than they got without him. It is also telling that when Trump isn’t fluffing himself, he sometimes allows small bits of truth to escape his sneering grimace. For example, during an interview with Laura Ingraham of Fox News, Trump actually capitulated to the reality that he and the GOP are going to lose in November, saying that “I’ll end up being a blocker. I’ll block all their bad stuff for two years.”

Trump is admitting that for his final two years as the lamest of ducks he will just be serving as an annoyance by obstructing the will of the people after they have elected Democratic majorities. It is literally the least he can do. Especially if his cult disciples fail to restore his MAGA team in Congress and break their solemn pledge to his MAGA-sty to turn out voters, even if they aren’t registered or otherwise legally allowed to vote…

If you’ve been wondering when we would see the worst of what AI is capable of, that time has come. The Republican Senate candidate in Texas, Ken Paxton, has released a campaign ad that features an AI representation of his Democratic opponent, James Talarico. The ad is entirely generated with AI and shows Talarico supposedly speaking in his own voice, and saying things that would disturb many Texan voters. Talarico is shown reading from a King James Talarico bible and “saying” that…

“In the beginning God was non-binary, and he wasn’t a Christian. And God said let there be six genders, and there were. Then God so loved the world, he gave us his only son, who is a radical feminist and never asked people to worship him. Look, I always think of myself as a Christian who hates Christianity. America is not a Christian nation.”

For the record, Talarico did say some of that, but in a much broader context that refutes the implications that Paxton is making. For example, regarding a non-binary God, Talarico, who is studying to be a Presbyterian minister, was citing his faith’s doctrine that God is neither male nor female, but transcends being merely human. And what he hates about Christianity are professed Christians who are hypocrites who betray the religion. You know…like Paxton.

Paxton’s ad was an entirely dishonest piece of political bullshittery. And true to his inbred hypocrisy, Paxton presented the ad by accusing Talarico of “weaponizing faith to sell a radical agenda.” Which is exactly what Paxton’s ad does. And the only indication that the version of Talarico in the ad was fake was a bit of tiny print near the end that said “Certain video content depicted in this advertising was generated by artificial intelligence.”

That almost impossible to notice disclaimer appeared for all of four seconds. Also, it wasn’t “certain video content” that was AI generated. It was all of it.

The good news is that Paxton has purchased airtime to run this ad on the radical, far-right “news” channel, Newsmax, during the Trump-a-Palooza event that Republicans are staging in Dallas, Texas. That midterm GOP convention is unlikely to be seen by many television viewers, because hardly any networks are bothering to air it. And since Newsmax, Fox News, and OAN viewers are already fully indoctrinated MAGA cult disciples, the whole campaign is waste of time and money.

Fox News Shamelessly Shills for the Trump-a-Palooza While Republicans Avoid it Like the Plague

Posted by on September 4, 2026 at 2:49 pm. 0 Comments :

When a political party finds itself in an unrecoverable downward spiral they often resort to extraordinary measures to attempt to avoid disaster. And with the midterm elections rapidly approaching, that’s where the Republican Party finds itself as it flounders near the bottom of the Mariana Trench of approval ratings.

Donald Trump Circling the Drain

To be fair, the abysmal prospects of the GOP (Greedy One Percent) aren’t attributable solely to their own broadly unpopular policies. They are being driven down by the even greater unpopularity of their Dear Leader, Donald Trump, who they they blindly cling to like good, obedient cult disciples. For Trump’s part, he seems to be too cognitively impaired to recognize his sorry state.

Given their dire electoral diagnosis, Republicans have scheduled a first-of-its-kind mid-term political convention to juice their standings with voters who are frustrated by the incompetence of the Trump regime. They are tired of paying more for gas, groceries, healthcare, housing, etc. They are sick of persistent wars that serve no national security purpose. They are appalled by trivial projects (ballrooms, arches, reflecting pools, etc.) aimed at satiating the ego of Trump.

How this convention – better known as Trump-a-Palooza – will help the GOP’s approval is a mystery. It’s being held in Texas, a state where Republicans shouldn’t need any help. And unlike ordinary conventions, there is no official business to conduct. No candidates will be nominated. No platforms will be drafted. In fact, it’s just another project to fluff Trump’s massive yet fragile ego.

The foregoing notwithstanding, Fox News is assuming their customary role as Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda. In a segment devoted to the TrumpFest, Cheryl Casone interviewed Joe Gruters, the chairman of the Republican National Committee…

Casone: The RNC just confirmed to Fox that more than 2,000 tickets have been distributed ahead of the convention. So tell us more about this convention and also the cash advantage for you and the RNC. The big question is ‘Where are you gonna deploy the money?’
Gruters: Well, listen, I think that people are giving us money because they believe in the agenda that we’re selling to the American people. and I think they believe in what the president is doing.

Notice that Casone asked Gruters two questions: Tell us more about this convention, and where are you gonna deploy the money. He didn’t answer either one.

It doesn’t seem like they have much to brag about. To begin with, Casone says that “2,000 tickets have been distributed.” Not sold. Which is significant because the tickets when purchased by GOP candidates, officials, and corporate sponsors, are reported to cost between $25,000 and $100,000. And much of that money goes straight into Trump’s SuperPAC. What’s more, the venue for the event is the American Airlines Center in Dallas, that has a capacity of 20,000. So with just five days left, they have only “distributed” 10% of the tickets.

More importantly, the expectations for attendance are, to say the least, disappointing. As reported by The New Republic, “Republicans Are Fleeing Trump’s Weird Midterms Convention.”

“A Politico survey of more than 70 Republican candidates and party members found that most were not planning to attend the two-day function that begins September 9.” […]

“[Many] were planning to dodge the event, which has been dubbed ‘Trump-a-palooza,’ in order to avoid being held accountable for the president’s inflammatory rhetoric.”

Avoiding Trump’s “inflammatory rhetoric” is only part of the story. Republican candidates nationwide are telling Trump to stay away because they don’t want his stench of failure rubbing off on them. More specifically, they don’t want to be associated with his fiasco in Iran, or his inflationary tariffs, or his support for AI data centers, or his embrace of America’s adversaries in Russia, China, and North Korea.

So dozens of Republicans aren’t gong to his convention that takes place two months before the election. It’s also one day before the anniversary of 9/11, that every living former president is memorializing in New York. Trump, however, is not attending because, like every other politician, he wasn’t permitted to speak.

Moreover, since pocketbook issues generally dominate political campaigns, Trump’s GOP comrades don’t want to be associated with his rampant corruption and the financial misconduct that is filling his bank accounts. The American people are through tolerating Trump enriching himself while they suffer, and then trying to tell them that everything is going great.

UPDATE: As predicted, the Trump LoserFest is a pitiful dud…
