Exacerbating Trump’s declining emotional trauma are the polls showing him at record lows. Those abysmal numbers apply to his overall approval, as well as his handling of virtually every issue of significance to the American people, including the war in Iran, tariffs, healthcare, Social Security, housing, and the economy. And yet he is glaringly delusional as to his standing with the public.<\/p>\n
SEE THIS: Trump is APPALLED that Nobody is Talking About a CNN Poll With 100% Approval \u2013 That Doesn\u2019t Exist<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n This week it became even more obvious how grave Trump’s descent into madness is. He has developed a debilitating case of paranoia. He is suspicious of everyone with whom he comes in contact. And he is convinced that everyone from journalists, to comedians, to politicians, and even his own staff, are plotting to destroy him. But there may be some truth to the old adage that “Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean everybody isn’t out to get you.”<\/em><\/p>\n One particularly revealing example is that Trump’s Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, just distributed a memo threatening the entire White House staff<\/a><\/strong> to refrain from leaking anything to the press. She wrote that…<\/p>\n “No staff member within the Executive Office of the President is permitted to speak with members of the news media without the explicit approval of the White House Communications Office. […] Unauthorized leaks will not be tolerated and are subject to sanction up to and including termination.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n In a hilarious feast of irony, that email was, of course, instantly leaked to the press. Apparently there are moles in the White House. And among them are likely to be Wiles and Trump himself. The Wiles threat memo is a blatant contradiction of the claims by Trump’s communications staff that he is the most transparent president ever. To the contrary, he may be the most secretive. Although he preens before the media scrum with uncommon frequency, that can’t be described as transparency if all he does is lie and dodge. For instance, Trump still refuses to release all of the unredacted Epstein files.<\/p>\n What’s more, Wiles decrees that “Unauthorized leaks will not be tolerated.”<\/em> So then only “authorized leaks”<\/em> will be allowed? Another way of saying “authorized leaks”<\/em> is “propaganda.”<\/em> And the press really should stop disseminating it.<\/p>\n The paranoid state of Trump appears to be serving as a role model for his Cabinet. Last week Trump’s FBI boss, Kash Patel was so outraged by a critical article written about him that he launched an investigation of the author, Sarah Fitzpatrick, and ordered polygraph tests of his senior staff and security detail.<\/p>\n MORE HERE: Trump\u2019s FBI Boss, Kash Patel, Goes After the Reporter Who Exposed Him as an Incompetent Lush<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n There are additional examples of Trump regime paranoia in his “Justice”<\/em> Department, where he has directed his Attorneys General (first Pam Bondi and now Todd Blanche) to initiate probes and indictments of anyone who was ever affiliated with an investigation of Trump’s criminal activities, including James Comey, John Brennan, Jerome Powell, Letitia James, and even several members of Congress. He has also orchestrated a massive purge of DoJ lawyers<\/a><\/strong>, crippling the Department’s ability to engage in efficient law enforcement.<\/p>\n And through it all, Trump remains focused on the issues that have always mattered most to him – Himself! Although his incompetent attempts at self-exaltation continue to be more humiliating than complimentary…<\/p>\n Trump's post is from a month old poll by the ultra right-wing Napolitan News Service (aka Rasmussen). The question is absurd. Nobody wants Iran to have nukes.In a more recent Napolitan poll, "Only 34% of voters favored the attacks on Iran, while 59% opposed them."<\/p>\n — News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social)<\/a> 2026-05-09T16:44:23.966Z<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
