Earlier this month Donald Trump was shaken by the escalation of news reporting about convicted pedophile and sex trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein, and his personal relationship with the man that he called a “terrific guy.”<\/em> But as the saga unfolded, Trump feigned some measure of confidence that it would be a two day story at worst. <\/p>\n

Two weeks later the story still dominates the news cycle, and has even ballooned into a major scandal for Trump that is weakening his support among many of his previously devoted disciples. And most of the blame for the escalation lies with Trump himself, and his staff who keep fueling the fire with inadvertently incriminating defenses and blatantly obvious efforts to create diversions. Even his Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, has contributed to the controversy.<\/p>\n

On Sunday morning, Trump engaged in the typically Trumpian pursuit to cast alternative scrum into the media sea to distract the sharks from feeding on his political carcass. He posted a flurry of comments on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social<\/a><\/strong>, that only made it more clear how desperate and scared he is.<\/p>\n

What follows are some annotated excerpts from his comments. The full postings are linked to “TrumpsTruth.org<\/a><\/strong>,”<\/em> a website that reposts his Truth Social remarks, so you don’t have to click through to his website.<\/p>\n

Let’s begin with…<\/h3>\n

…a comment wherein Trump praises himself and the six month anniversary of his second occupation of the White House. He gushes<\/a><\/strong> that he is “being hailed as one of the most consequential periods of any President.”<\/em> Which is technically true. Most people would describe his assault on democracy and the Constitution as “consequential.”<\/em> However, he went on to claim that “One year ago our Country was DEAD, with almost no hope of revival.”<\/em> You have to wonder what drugs he is taking that would produce that sort of delusional hysteria.<\/p>\n

Next up…<\/h3>\n

…was Trump’s reporting<\/a><\/strong> on his poll numbers. He wrote that “My Poll Numbers within the Republican Party, and MAGA, have gone up, significantly, since the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax […] and are all Republican Party records.”<\/em> Okay. In some polls there has been a slight uptick in his support by his MAGA cult. Which only tells you something about how deeply indoctrinated they are. However, his support is by no means a record for either party. Although his overall approval rating is at a record low for him.<\/p>\n

\n

Mike Johnson fails to mention that Trump's approval rating of 90% is just among Republicans. And other presidents have been even higher among their own party:? George Bush: 99% after 9\/11.? Barack Obama: 93% after Obamacare passed.? Joe Biden: 95% after his inauguration.<\/p>\n
