Poll Shows Republicans Trust Only Criminal Messiah Trump to Tell Them the Truth<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On Sunday morning, one of Trump&#8217;s most loyal ministers, Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson, was <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/meet-the-press\/meet-press-october-13-2024-n1310767\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">interviewed<\/a><\/strong> on NBC&#8217;s Meet the Press. And the sermon he delivered there was extraordinarily reverential and bursting with blind devotion. It was a display of unfettered fealty to his salmonesque savior. The exchange began with host Kristen Welker asking Johnson whether Trump should release his medical records &#8211; which Johnson said were <em>&#8220;irrelevant&#8221;<\/em> &#8211; but descended into flagrant lies and worshipful exaltation almost immediately.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Welker:<\/strong> Should Donald Trump release all of his medical records, Mr. Speaker?<br \/>\n<strong>Johnson:<\/strong> He has. He issued \u2013 he issued the records of his physicians. Kamala Harris issued her medical records as diversion because she&#8217;s desperate, because she&#8217;s sinking in the polls. Donald Trump&#8217;s health is on display. Everyone in America can see it. The man works nonstop. He never quits. He probably sleeps four hours a night. He doesn&#8217;t require as much sleep as the average person. He&#8217;s an unusual figure. And this is the strength that we need in a time like this. We&#8217;re in the most dangerous moment since World War II. You have to have strength. You have to have a steady hand. You have to have a commander-in-chief that our allies respect and our enemies fear. They do not fear Kamala Harris. They do fear Donald Trump. That\u2019s what people are going to vote on.<br \/>\n<strong>Welker:<\/strong> Mr. Speaker, just be very clear, he hasn&#8217;t released all of his medical records. He released two letters. Should he release the results of the cognitive tests?<br \/>\n<strong>Johnson:<\/strong> It\u2019s unnecessary. He\u2019s on display every minute.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This is North Korea level worship of Dear Leader Trump. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/KUERoK96lB\">https:\/\/t.co\/KUERoK96lB<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; News Corpse (@NewsCorpse) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NewsCorpse\/status\/1845549960047059168?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 13, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a lot of blatant BS to unpack here. Let&#8217;s start with Johnson&#8217;s barefaced lie that Trump has released his medical records. He has not. Johnson was, however, correct that Kamala Harris did release hers. And not as a diversion (<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=63021\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">she is currently leading in most polls<\/a><\/strong>), but because every presidential candidate for decades &#8211; except for Trump &#8211; has done so.<\/p>\n<p>The only thing Trump released was an outdated and letter with no details from last year describing a partial physical that did not include cognitive testing, and two letters from disgraced former doctor, Ronny Jackson, who claims that he treated Trump after his <em>&#8220;ear death&#8221;<\/em> experience in Pennsylvania. He did not perform a complete physical on Trump at that time. Jackson is currently unlicensed, and was demoted in retirement from the Navy due to misconduct involving drugs and alcohol.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Kamala Harris released results of her recent medical exam. It shows her in &quot;excellent&quot; health physically &amp; mentally.<\/p>\n<p>Trump responded by releasing old letters from his disgraced &amp; unlicensed doctor, Ronny Jackson, and a report that is a year old with no neuropsychiatric results. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/0Vf8vbPsPk\">https:\/\/t.co\/0Vf8vbPsPk<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; News Corpse (@NewsCorpse) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NewsCorpse\/status\/1845160304264577413?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 12, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Johnson went on to assert that Trump&#8217;s medical records weren&#8217;t needed because his perfect health was evident and that <em>&#8220;Everyone in America can see it.&#8221;<\/em> That is hardly an alternative to a physical exam by a qualified professional. Trump could have numerous problems that are not visible to laymen watching him on TV, or measurable without laboratory tests. They could include any number of bio-deficiencies or abnormal growths. And certainly any mental defect would require closer scrutiny. Although there has been a great deal of that evident in Trump&#8217;s bizarre and incoherent ravings at his rallies and in recent interviews.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Bill Maher to Buck Sexton: &quot;Trump&#39;s super power is that he&#39;s so fucking insane and that he&#39;s been such a inveterate liar about everything he just pulls out of his ass.&quot; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/hUmKzSPOo5\">pic.twitter.com\/hUmKzSPOo5<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Blue Georgia (@BlueATLGeorgia) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BlueATLGeorgia\/status\/1844948930972311640?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 12, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Johnson also lauded Trump&#8217;s alleged stamina. But boasting that he doesn&#8217;t sleep much is more a sign of depravation than fitness. Likewise, claims that America&#8217;s enemies <em>&#8220;fear Donald Trump&#8221;<\/em> are preposterous. Mostly they laugh at him. If there is any hint of fear it&#8217;s due to his mental instability, not his strength or intellect, both of which he is lacking. Which our enemies know and are adept at manipulating him.<\/p>\n<p>Trump&#8217;s failure to release his medical records is certainly due to their having bad news in them. If they were positive he would have released them on live TV weeks ago. It&#8217;s the same reason he has refused to release his financial and tax records. He is afraid to let the American people see the truth.<\/p>\n<p>Johnson knows all of this, but he is to deeply indoctrinated into the Trump cult to be honest about it. In the meantime, Democrats and other sane Americans need to stay focused on winning in November. It is more imperative now than ever.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED STORIES:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=63304\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Traitor Trump Says that Americans Who Oppose Him are \u2018a Bigger Enemy than China and Russia\u2019<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=63228\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Master Racist Trump Attacks America: \u2018We\u2019ve Got a Lot of Bad Genes in Our Country Right Now\u2019<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=63114\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ATTN: Trump Says Pretty Much Everyone Who Supports Kamala Harris Must Have Their Heads Examined<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote>\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Be sure to visit and follow News Corpse<br \/>\non <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NewsCorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NewsCorpse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/newscorpse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.net\/@newscorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Threads<\/a>.<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>And check out my books on Amazon:<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2aOYFpM\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox Nation vs. Reality:<br \/>\nThe Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Thanks so much for your support.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Any rational person who has been paying attention to the MAGA movement led by Donald Trump cannot help but recognize its similarities with cults from the past.
