It’s another day that ends in “Y”<\/em> and, therefore, it’s another day wherein Donald Trump affirms his abhorrent anti-Americanism in the nastiness manner that he can muster. Trump apparently is not satisfied with his already repugnant record of trashing the nation’s constitutional principles. So he is once again escalating his malevolence to new lows.<\/p>\n

\"Donald<\/p>\n

Unsatisfied with stomping on the rights of migrants to due process, or the rights of universities to academic freedom, or the rights of lawyers to practice, or the rights of journalists to report the truth, Trump is now threatening his political opponents with harassment and persecution from his grossly corrupt Department of Justice. Is it just his latest attempt to declare himself America’s first president-for-life?<\/p>\n

SEE THIS: Trump\u2019s Anti-Press Secretary Won\u2019t Deny His Intention to Seek an Unconstitutional Third Term<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

On Sunday morning Trump posted yet another unhinged screed<\/a><\/strong> on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social<\/a><\/strong>. This time he intended to disparage the Democratic fundraising website, ActBlue, with wholly unfounded allegations of election finance fraud. However, as usual, his tantrum was fueled by ignorance and loaded with lies. He began by passively ordering his Attorney Genuflect, Pam Bondi, to investigate Actblue…<\/p>\n

“Hopefully ACTBLUE, the Democrats ILLEGAL SCAM used to raise money, including from not allowed ‘foreign contributions,’ is being looked at by authorities. The Dems only know how to win by CHEATING, something which they do better than any group or party in history.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is a thinly veiled instruction to Bondi to commence a meritless probe meant only to hobble the fundraising efforts of the Democratic Party. And it was jampacked with the familiar projection that Trump employs when he is trying to tarnish others with the sort of crimes that he engages in. He continued…<\/p>\n

“But now, with their terrible policies and candidates, and with people like Crooked Adam Schiff, who demanded a full Pardon from Sleepy Joe, leading the way, it is almost impossible to reach their money goals. The USA is wise to these scoundrels and crooks.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is a bizarre Trumpian cocktail of wishful thinking and straight-up lies. Not only is ActBlue succeeding in its mission to help Democrats raise money, they are reaching new heights of success, partially thanks to Trump himself. As reported by The New Republic<\/a><\/strong> (TNR)…<\/p>\n

“The Trump administration\u2019s decision to target ActBlue has instead resulted in the left-leaning platform\u2019s biggest fundraising day of the year.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And as for Trump’s charge that ActBlue was taking in improper foreign donations, TNR reports that…<\/p>\n

“Conservatives have repeatedly claimed that ActBlue was acting as a conduit for foreign contributions. In December, an analysis<\/a> of the fundraising network\u2019s records by Republican Representative Bryan Steil not only failed to advance the theory but instead found proof that the platform\u2019s automated program to reject donations from foreign nationals was working effectively.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Furthermore, Politico reported<\/a><\/strong> that…<\/p>\n

“‘ActBlue raised $400 million in the first three months of 2025 alone, the biggest fundraising total in the first quarter of a non-presidential or midterm election year ever,’ the organization said.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So thanks for the funding boost, Donnie. In closing, Trump took a wild swing at one of his favorite targets, Sen Adam Schiff…<\/p>\n

“Also, why did the Auto Pen give Schiff a Pardon? Biden knew nothing about it. Who operated the Auto Pen? That is the biggest question being asked in D.C. They almost destroyed our Country. They should all be in jail!!!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Setting aside Trump’s childish insults, Trump asks why Biden gave a Schiff a pardon. But he actually answers his own question when he adds emphatically, and without any evidence of wrongdoing, that “They should all be in jail!!!”<\/em> Yeah, that’s exactly why Biden gave pardons to Schiff and the other members of the House Committee to Investigate the January 6th Insurrection. Because a rabidly vengeful Trump has been dead set on persecuting them and has even accused them of “treason.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Trump’s attack on ActBlue is nothing less than an effort to rig the upcoming elections in 2026 and 2028. He would like to starve the Democratic Party of funds to mount a campaign. But his glassy-eyed rage is turning out to be working against him. The American people recognize the hideousness of Trump’s aspirations to autocracy, and they are not going to stand for it.<\/p>\n
