He generously disgorges hollow praise in the form of mushy clich\u00e9s and drenches his remarks about the nation with fawning flattery that has the stench of scammy evangelical sideshows. In reality, Trump displays a profound aversion for America, it&#8217;s laws, and its Constitution.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=70285\" target=\"_blank\">Trump Himself Confirms that He is the Most Deviant Lawbreaker in Presidential History<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As is often the case, Trump provides the best examples of his treasonous tendencies. On Friday he spoke to reporters during a White House Cabinet meeting. These meetings are never held to work on matters of critical importance to the nation. Instead, they are ceremonial kiss-up rituals where Trump has his flunkies take turns fluffing him. That is, when he isn&#8217;t doing it himself.<\/p>\n<p>On this occasion Trump had something to get off his chest. He had heard about a cyberattack on water systems in Minnesota, a blue state whose governor, Tim Walz, Trump has a particular animosity toward. The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2026\/07\/30\/us\/politics\/minnesota-water-cyberattack-iran.html?unlocked_article_code=1.11A.OnsO.ITCDIMyH2PP_\" target=\"_blank\">New York Times reported the news<\/a><\/strong> on Thursday saying that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Investigators believe a cyberattack this week on dozens of municipal water systems in Minnesota was probably the work of Iranian hackers, according to U.S. and state officials and others familiar with the matter, a potential act of aggression that comes at a precarious moment in the U.S. war against Iran.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Despite the preliminary assessment by Trump&#8217;s own FBI and cybersecurity agency surmising that the attack was by Iran, Trump had other ideas. He told reporters that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I just wanna mention that we heard in Minnesota there was a cyberattack and they blame it on Iran. I don&#8217;t think so. I blame it on Minnesota because they&#8217;re grossly incompetent. There was a cyberattack on 30 water plants. And I would blame it on Minnesota, and the corrupt government of Minnesota. They like to say &#8216;Oh, it was Iran.&#8217; Iran should be so lucky. Iran&#8217;s got bigger problems than worrying about Minnesota.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"embed-x\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Typical Trump: BLAME AMERICA FIRST!<\/p>\n<p>He is absolving Iran of guilt in a cyber attack and blaming it, without evidence, on Democratic Americans that he despises.<\/p>\n<p>He defends Iran as innocent because they have &quot;bigger problems than worrying about Minnesota.&quot; But Trump doesn&#39;t? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/pvR0Mc4bfv\">https:\/\/t.co\/pvR0Mc4bfv<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; News Corpse (@NewsCorpse) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/NewsCorpse\/status\/2083225559224750352?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 31, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<p>As he often does, Trump has chosen to blame America first. He is defending our enemy Iran against these accusations despite the fact that he is at war with them and bombing their civilian infrastructure, which gives them motives to disrupt infrastructure in the U.S. And he is making wholly unsupported accusations against fellow Americans who would only be harming themselves if Trump&#8217;s preposterous charges were true.<\/p>\n<p>In Trump&#8217;s mind his political foes in Minnesota are more likely to be the culprits of this cyberattack than actual wartime enemies in Iran. That&#8217;s how twisted Trump&#8217;s thought processes are. And he assigns blame to what he calls the <em>&#8220;corrupt government of Minnesota,&#8221;<\/em> without any rational benefit a corrupt government would receive for attacking its own water plants.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s more, Trump is absolving Iran in part because messing around with Minnesota&#8217;s water plants would be too small an endeavor for Iran. So according to Trump, Iran has <em>&#8220;bigger problems than worrying about Minnesota,&#8221;<\/em> but Trump doesn&#8217;t? Really? What about the high cost of gas and groceries and housing and healthcare? What about his ICE thugs persecuting migrants and killing citizens? What about his collapsing approval ratings as the midterm election nears. What about Iran?<\/p>\n<p>Trump is doing nothing to resolve any of those problems. But he is taking the heat off of Iran, while simultaneously taking time out to baselessly accuse Minnesota of attacking their own water plants.<\/p>\n<p>Well, at least he&#8217;s only taking time away from building his vanity ballroom, and renovating the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool and other DC beautification projects, and shouting insults at journalists. Because Trump has bigger problems than worrying about affordability or war. After all, his ego have been hurt.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED STORIES:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=70419\" target=\"_blank\">Trump Plots to Evade Senate Vote for Todd Blanche So He Can Keep His Slush Fund and Immunity<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=70370\" target=\"_blank\">Trump FREAKS OUT Over a Democratic Proposal: \u2018They Do This, and the Republican Party is DEAD!\u2019<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=70349\" target=\"_blank\">Herr Trump Threatens to Muzzle the Free Press in His Unhinged Infomercial for Voter Suppression<\/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\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/newscorpse.bsky.social\" target=\"_blank\">Bluesky<\/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=\"\">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>Patriotism has long been a core principle of the Republican Party, at least during election campaigns when they try to portray themselves as unwaveringly devoted to America and its founding philosophies of democracy and liberty, and equality.
