“I think we have the greatest economy ever in history. We have the hottest country anywhere in the world.” Donald J. Trump to Larry Ludlow on Fox Business News.
Then why is every leader of every country laughing at us and making deals without us? And why is everyone booing us…booing YOU?
“You just tell them and they believe it. They just do.” Donald J. Trump to Billy Bush.
It is important that I start with this disclaimer: I have never been a Democrat NOR a Republican. I have never felt aligned with the ideologies of either of those party’s respective agendas. I instead focus on each individual issue, and each individual themselves who are elected into office.
I am a truth seeker, and hate liars and bullies. And I don’t like to see good, innocent, and vulnerable people get hurt. That is what drives me.
I so badly wanted to take a step back and not even think about the political mess this country is in and just focus on more positive, fun, and productive topics. But just when you believe things can’t get any worse, that people can’t stoop any lower, BANG!
Donald J. Trump’s obsession with Joe Biden is absolutely ridiculous. But at least you can TRY to rationalize it as Trump’s obsession is based on his election loss TO Biden. His obsession with Barack Obama is not JUST ridiculous, it’s truly creepy and insane.
Susan Powter used to yell “STOP THE INSANITY!” but rather than stopping ANY insanity, Donald J. Trump seems to just take it to the next level…even when you think there can’t BE any more levels. Because just when you really believed, thought, hoped…that it couldn’t get any more INSANE…he posts a despicable depiction of Barack and Michelle Obama on his social media platform.
Truth Social is anything BUT what its name implies. But that is right in line with the Trump way of “doing business.” It’s all a lie. It’s all a façade. It’s all a con.
“You just tell them and they believe it. They just do.” Donald J. Trump to Billy Bush.
Bernie Sanders recently said it so perfectly…”Donald Trump won this election because what he said is, quite appropriately, the system is broken. And he’s right. The healthcare system is a disaster. We have more income and wealth inequality than we’ve very had. You got 800,000 people sleeping out on the street. Real wages haven’t gone up for American workers in 50 years. Housing situation is a disaster. So Trump said, “Look around you. Situation is a disaster. It’s broken.” And people said, “yeah, he’s going to change the system.” Problem is what Trump is going to do is make a bad situation even worse.”
Donald J. Trump saw an opportunity with a weak and vulnerable population, with a large group of that population yearning for something more, and he played right into those yearnings and vulnerabilities.
Donald Trump to People Magazine in 1998: If I were to run, I’d run as a Republican. They’re the dumbest group of voters in the country. They believe anything on Fox News. I could lie and they’d still eat it up. I bet my numbers would be terrific.”
The President, one would expect, is trying to UNITE a nation. Even Melania Trump, in all of her glory of her recent film presentation, kept using the word “unifier” in reference to her husband. However, her husband has done everything possible to divide rather than unify.
How else can you explain the rationale for Donald J. Trump constantly referring to his opponents as the “radical left lunatics,” halting federal funding to states that didn’t vote for him in the 2024 election, and not inviting Democratic governors to a bipartisan governor gathering?
How does someone working to unify a nation state “I don’t know how a person of faith can vote for a Democrat. I really don’t.” at the National Prayer Breakfast?
Really? I don’t know how a person of faith, or any rational human being with a conscience can vote a known sexual predator and pedophile into the office of the United States Presidency. But he will keep telling everyone that he had nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein and it’s all a Democratic hoax manufactured by James Comey and Barack Obama.
“You just tell them and they believe it. They just do.” Donald J. Trump to Billy Bush.
Donald J. Trump has done everything possible to divide the American people. This has happened before. The problem is that nobody really learns from history, do they?
Almost 200 years ago, in the 1820’s, when the country was in its infancy, the turmoil and chaos sparked huge unrest.
It was the Union vs. the Confederacy, the Blue vs. the Gray, the industrial north vs. the agricultural south, and, yes, it was free vs. slave, and it all pitted brother vs. brother. The United States of America was divided and a violent and costly civil war took 600,000 casualties and it took 100 years to recover and establish a foundation that was still rife with injustice, prejudice, and inconsistent treatments among the masses.
It is no different in 2026…as we get set to celebrate the country’s 250th anniversary.
This time it is Red vs. Blue, the Republicans vs. the Democrats, the right vs. the left, the rich vs the not-so-rich, and this, too, has all divided families. The United States of America is so divided in a way that hasn’t been seen in over 150 years. And it has not yet reached its pinnacle.
So why has this happened?
When I was coaching high school basketball, the general scheme was simple – orchestrated chaos. The objective was to throw the other team off their game by causing absolute chaos on both offense and defense so that by the time the opponent was able to figure it all out, they wouldn’t even have enough time to adjust and react.
That is exactly what the Trump administration is doing.
“You just tell them and they believe it. They just do.” Donald J. Trump to Billy Bush.
The Trump administration has blatantly lied repeatedly, and none of the members of the administration even care that someone fact-checks them, and calls them out on the lies, they just keep repeating the very same lies over and over and over again until their minions simply accept the statements as true and then they, themselves, repeat those lies.
The “enemy within.”
The Trump administration has worked hard to intentionally divide the American people. They rail on anyone that is a Democrat or anyone who supports a Democrat. They take to hauling insults and making derogatory remarks at people, statements that have absolutely nothing to do with the issues.
The Trump administration is willfully and purposefully turning the citizens of the United States against each other so that they can allege “civil unrest” and then Donald J. Trump can claim that he doesn’t have to follow the rules and laws of the Constitution…which he doesn’t follow anyway…but it gives him that defense to fall back on.
So when Trump refers to the “enemy within” he is talking about the American citizens themselves. He wants the American people to fight amongst themselves, keeping everyone distracted from what’s really going on.
ICE is not really “Immigration and Customs Enforcement” any longer.
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act allotted a mass increase in funding for ICE from around $10 billion to 37.5 billion dollars annually. That is more money than allocated to the FBI, DEA, and even CIA. Heck, they are being funded more monies than most of the defense departments of countries around the world.
Why?
Because ICE has become the personal army, paramilitary, of Donald J. Trump , Stephen Miller, Russell Vought and the rest of the sycophants. Remember when the Confederate Army was formed and served under Jefferson Davis? Remember when the SS was formed and served under Adolph Hitler?
“ICE and Border Patrol are true patriots. They need to be respected. The Democrats need to agree to stop demonizing them.” Karoline Leavitt
Let’s be clear…ICE and Border Patrol agents are NOT “patriots.” Does Karoline Leavitt even know what the word “patriot” means?
Let’s first understand what the word “propaganda” means. Propaganda is the deliberate, systematic manipulation of information—including facts, half-truths, or lies—to influence public opinion, attitudes, and behaviors toward a specific cause, agenda, or viewpoint. It is used to provoke emotional responses, build support for political regimes, sway public opinion during wartime, or boost morale. Common techniques include emotional appeals, name-calling, false dilemmas, and the bandwagon effect.
Karoline Leavitt is nothing more than the mouthpiece to perpetuate the regime’s propaganda.
“You just tell them and they believe it. They just do.” Donald J. Trump to Billy Bush.
When they (members of the Trump Administration) say that they are “going after the worst of the worst” they are not lying. They ARE going after the worst of the worst…when recruiting for ICE officers.
Prior to 2025, ICE never went around wearing masks, breaking down doors, smashing car windows, ramming motor vehicles in the streets.
Prior to 2025, ICE officers were not given granted “absolute immunity” as expressed by Stephen Miller and JD Vance, although Vance later backtracked and swears he never said it. (Do they not realize they are on video?)
Prior to 2025, there wasn’t a recruitment effort to get as many people on board, unvetted, to essentially create an army of untrained, roid-raged animals, to intimidate and brutalize United States citizens in order to 1) scare the public into submission and/or 2) instigate protests in order to provide an image of chaos and unrest to provide a fabricated reason to initiate Martial Law.
And Greg Bovino, the notorious Commander-at-Large, has gone on public record stating that he was at odds with DHS leadership, wanting to continue his aggressive approach and to become even more aggressive. No warrant. No proofs. No justification for presuming someone is in the country illegally. Just grab, beat, detain, and ask questions later. Broken bones are just becoming notches in the agents’ Y-straps…like badges of honor.
So when Karoline Leavitt says that ICE and Border Patrol agents are patriots and should be respected…it really means that people should fear them, get out of their way, and don’t question anything…simply bend a knee and comply.
No, people should not be in the country illegally. But the premise was that ICE was going to be targeting and rounding up the “worst of the worst” – gangs, violent criminals, drug dealers, etc. It all sounds good. But that is NOT who they are rounding up. Instead, they are grabbing migrant farm workers, warehouse workers, Mario the fruit vendor on the corner, and the father driving his kids to school. These are not hardened criminals. They may not have citizenship, a green card, a visa, but they are not the “worst of the worst.” And HOW they are being rounded up is horrifying and terrifying.
The government is using the most angry and aggressive people on the planet, appearing to look like they are hopped up on steroids, literally ripping people out of their vehicles, beating them down, breaking arms and ribs, moving them to a detention center out of state, without cause, without a warrant, and without any due process. But WITH severe physical brutality.
Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling on ICE: They are an undisciplined militia and the leadership is awful. This is not policing and it’s not military service. It’s dangerously undefined.
When asked during a 60 Minutes interview about the immigration issue, and how ICE officers were acting, Donald J. Trump said that ICE needs to be MORE aggressive and that “they haven’t gone far enough.” Give that some thought.
Again…it is strictly for intimidation.
The people protesting ICE presence are not domestic terrorists. Domestic terrorists are the people who stormed and bulled their way past law enforcement on January 6, 2021.
A lot of the people who were convicted of storming the Capitol on January 6, 2021 and assaulting law enforcement officers were pardoned by Trump and then made a part of his personal army.
Insurrectionists are not the people protesting NO KINGS and the presence of masked ICE agents in their cities. Insurrectionists are the people who tried to overthrow the government on January 6, 2021 at the behest of a “leader” who wanted to procure power from the newly-elected leader, and steal an election.
Donald J. Trump called Renee Good, a victim of his untrained paramilitary, “a left wing radical,” indicating that her death was somehow understandable, but that he felt bad for the parents because they are “Trump fans.” All the compassion of a piece of driftwood.
Donald J. Trump is blaming Alex Pretti for his own death because he believes protestors can’t have guns. Alex Pretti was a licensed gun owner in a state that allows concealed carry who appears to have been disarmed before agents shot him while on the ground face down.
Donald J. Trump has emphatically endorsed right wing protestors who show up to demonstrations with guns.
When armed protestors showed up at the Michigan State Capitol with loaded AR 15’s to protest COVID lockdowns, Trump called them “very good people…” and urged the governor to give in to their demands. When Kyle Rittenhouse killed two Black Lives Matter protestors in Kenosha, Wisconsin, Trump came to his defense.
By his own words, Trump asked that the detector at the Capitol be removed on January 6, so that the protestors could KEEP their guns. That same person said that Alex Pretti should NOT have brought his gun to the protest. Think about that.
Now…does Donald J. Trump still believe that ICE needs to be MORE aggressive and that “they haven’t gone far enough…”?
There are horrifying things that I see on the social media pages of my friends…well…not friends but connections and, as a result, they are no longer connections.
DM Posted: Go ICE 2 dead pretty Good.
DCS Posted: One less liberal lunatic! 3 thumbs up
DS Posted: Definitely FAFO. He’s a Dead Poster Boy Now. Paid for by the Democrats now a dead Protestor.
Make no mistake, the domestic terrorists were the 1,500+ Trump loyalists who stormed the Capital on January 6, 2021 on his behalf. Donald J. Trump was trying to steal an election that he lost.
And yet, his supporters, his loyalists will look you dead in the face and say J6 rioters with guns, poles, bats, etc. were patriots but an ER nurse with a camera and registered firearm was a domestic terrorist.
DM posted: J6 was a set up by Pelosi and Democrats with planted FBI and Antifa assholes.
The people who stormed the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021 were NOT patriots. They pushed past security, past law enforcement officers, trespassed on government property, beat people with metal baseball bats and poles, destroyed property, and stole personal and sensitive equipment. They were looking for Nancy Pelosi and were stating clearly that they wanted to hang Mike Pence, the Vice President of the United States of America.
We saw it all on live TV and video. So did Donald J. Trump.
“You just tell them and they believe it. They just do.” Donald J. Trump to Billy Bush
Donald J. Trump posted on his Truth Social on October 12, 2025: THE BIDEN FBI PLACED 274 AGENTS INTO THE CROWD ON JANUARY 6. If this is so, which it is, a lot of very good people will be owed big apologies. What a SCAM – DO SOMETHING!!! President DJT
Is it me or wasn’t Donald J. Trump President of the United States on January 6, 2021? There could not have been a “Biden FBI.” So what is he talking about? And isn’t this Trump just, yet again, trying to rile up his base?
They were insurrectionists acting at the behest of one man – Donald J. Trump. And Trump pardoned them. All of them. And where are they now? These people are members of ICE, they have taken government jobs from those who were dismissed, some are even occupying seats on Trump’s staff. That’s like giving the middle finger to the United States of America, not only NOT punishing them, but rewarding them for their actions.
And some have even been arrested again. And some of those arrested again have even been pardoned again. You really can’t make this stuff up.
One of those pardoned, Enrique Tarrio, the leader of the Proud Boys, is now a high-ranking ICE officer.
Another one of those pardoned, Christopher Moynihan, was arrested again for threatening to kill Hakeem Jeffries.
The list goes on. These are all obviously “good people” according to Donald J. Trump.
The 2020 election was NOT rigged and was NOT stolen. That allegation that Donald J. Trump keeps repeating is not true and has been debunked MULTIPLE times.
Jack Smith testified under oath: “We had proof beyond a reasonable doubt that Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 election, prevent the peaceful transfer of power, retain classified documents, and obstruct justice. I would charge an ex-president again, regardless of party.”
“You just tell them and they believe it. They just do.” Donald J. Trump to Billy Bush.
There is clear and convincing evidence that Donald J. Trump knew that but just didn’t care. There was an election and he lost. But like an authoritarian, a dictator, he did not want to relinquish power. And he set out every which way to make it happen.
And he continues to promote that same lie over and over and over and over again.
And even when he was re-elected, instead of cherishing it, he decided to go on a world retribution tour – I am going to ruin everyone who was mean to me, I am going to take everyone and everything down, and I am going to take it like the spoils of war and sock it all away in an off-shore account and hide safely away after it’s all over.
Martial law is important to understand that it is the temporary substitution of military authority for civilian rule during extreme emergencies like war, rebellion, or natural disasters. It enables military leaders to suspend civil liberties like habeas corpus and free speech, impose curfews, and run tribunals. It is legally distinct from the Insurrection Act, which only allows military assistance to civil authorities.
Orchestrated chaos. That is what the Trump administration is doing. It’s orchestrated chaos in order to justify breaking with the Rule of Law, the Constitution, and all of the checks and balances in place to keep a leading politician in the United States reigned in. Donald J. Trump has already crossed the line with regard to the Rule of Law and Constitution. He has made most of the Courts his lackeys. Those that go against his will – impeach them, prosecute them, retaliate against them…make them pay.
Freedom of Speech has been taken away.
Anyone that talks about against Donald J. Trump, against the regime, is targeted. Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Myers…all targeted. And they are comedians.
CBS News, ABC News, PBS, NPR, CNN have all gotten caught in Trump’s cross hairs simply for news reporting.
The way Donald J. Trump, and his mouthpiece Karoline Leavitt, talk to the media is undignified, unprofessional, and just simply disrespectful.
The way Pam Bondi, Kristi Noem, Pete Hegseth, Kash Patel, and Company speak to members of the Senate and Congress when asked a question is undignified, unprofessional, and not only disrespectful, it’s outright defiance. They don’t answer questions, rather, they respond with prepared rhetoric of nonsense in order to avoid giving direct answers. Answers are responses but responses are not necessarily answers. And they are all just great at providing responses without divulging the answers.
The media is in a state of peril. Donald J. Trump telegraphed his philosophy years ago in 2016 when he told CBS correspondent Lesley Stahl, on camera, that he bashes the press “to demean you and discredit you so…no one will believe the negative stories about me…no one will believe you.”
Trump didn’t like Jimmy Kimmel’s remarks, and he got his FCC chairperson to threaten to take the license from CBS, leading CBS to take Kimmel off the air, albeit temporarily. This came after CBS already caved in a lawsuit to pay Trump and agree not to renew Stephen Colbert after his contract runs out.
When all of the late night hosts united in support of Kimmel, CBS relented, but it was too late to save Colbert.
CBS and ABC paid settlements to Donald J. Trump in response to lawsuits the filed against them. Paramount, the parent company of CBS paid Trump $16 million. ABC News paid Trump $15 million.
If Trump doesn’t like what you say, he will end you.
Trump didn’t like the way CBS and ABC handled coverage that included him, he sued them. They caved rather than pay long-term legal costs.
A litigation attorney friend reminded me that “…settlements are pragmatic. Because you always need to consider the cost and time to defend the matter.”
PBS and NPR weren’t so lucky. They simply had their federal funding pulled. A public, non-profit, apolitical television organization completely dismantled because Donald J. Trump doesn’t LIKE them.
Freedom of the Press…that is in the Constitution, isn’t it?
What Donald J. Trump is asking, what he is demanding, what he has sued for…is the right to have no negative information presented about him to the public. Meaning…that anything spewed from the media should be words that paint him in a good light, glorify him, and prop him up as the great person that he really is. Anything else is FAKE NEWS!
Whatever you present to dispel the administration’s propaganda, they cry “FAKE NEWS” or “HOAX” to counter any evidence that could possibly be provided, regardless how compelling and how clear and convincing it could be.
But then there’s Fox News which has become the State’s “authorized” news agency…an agency no different than KCNA (Korean Central News Agency) or TASS News Agency (Telegraph Agency of the Soviet Union or Xinhua News Agency (New China News Agency). Fox may as well have Karoline Leavitt sitting at the news desk 24-7 and just simply talking…it would make things so much easier.
Remember Jamal Khashoggi? He was a journalist and author critical of the Saudi Arabian regime. He was lured to the consulate in Istanbul, Turkey where he was barbaricly dismembered, while alive, at the behest of Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) in October of 2018.
It was a savage killing in the style of medieval torture and brutality.
After repeatedly changing its narrative about what happened to Khashoggi in the aftermath of the killing, the Saudi government admitted that it had been a “premeditated murder” and bin Salman said he accepted “responsibility for the killing because it happened under my watch.”
When the CIA concluded within weeks that bin Salman had, in fact, ordered the murder, rather than condemning the murder like the rest of the world, President Donald J. Trump openly disputed the CIA’s findings (and the rest of the world’s intelligence) and, instead, supported bin Salmon.
And recently, President Donald J. Trump stood beside the person who perpetrated such a heinous act, while selling to him US F-35’s, single-seat, single-engine, supersonic stealth strike fighters, with electronic warfare and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities.
Why is this relevant? Because just a short time ago Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson had her house searched and items taken by the FBI. Trump and his sycophants are trying to quiet anyone who talks out against him, his family, or his allies. If suing them doesn’t work, intimidation doesn’t work, what’s next?
People are feeling threatened just for posting their views on social media.
This is straight out of the Project 2025 playbook…mostly plagiarized from a book titled Mein Kampf.
In essence, the objective is to maximize the power of the Executive Branch, take away the power from Congress, undermine the administrative state, close down federal agencies, thereby creating a Presidency without checks and balances. The goal is to have the President do whatever he wants without the need for approval of, or consult with, Congress. A key area is immigration, not just closing the border or decreasing illegal immigration, it’s also cracking down on visas, de-naturalizing people, closing off the United States in many ways. They are trying to overturn immigration, not just slow it down. There is also a traditional vision of how society works, a very socially conservative America with a biblically-based vision of the family with men as bread winners and women at home taking care of children and abortion being outlawed.
They blame a group of people…immigrants…like they did in Nazi Germany with the Jews.
And what IS really going on? The democracy, the republic, known as the United States of America, the land of liberty, freedom, and dreams, is being converted before your eyes into an oligarchy, an authoritarian state. And it if you don’t see it, then get your head out of the sand.
The transition has not happened overnight. This systematic dismantling of the USA’s idealistic society began at least 10 years ago. And once Donald J. Trump got into office, and started placing his loyalists in high-powered positions, including the United States Supreme Court, the remodeling began. No different than when Trump would grab a piece of property, demolish it, and rebuild something ostentatious that didn’t belong. His “remodel” of the White House with a gaudy ballroom is symbolic of that.
His insistence that buildings…structures be named for him is the ideology of a dictator. Trump put his name on the John F. Kennedy Center for the Arts and the U.S. Institute of Peace headquarters. Now he wants to plug his name in front of Washington Dulles International Airport and just decided to stiff-arm New York City by saying he would initiate the release of 16 billion dollars he has been withholding in federal funding for infrastructure if his name was put in front of New York’s Penn Station.
This is egomania, megalomania, it’s just bizarre…especially from a man who is President of the United State of America. Of course if you say any of this to the Trump loyalists….you will inevitably get the usual “Trump Derangement Syndrome!”
Trump Derangement Syndrome. That is the company line when you disagree with something, or fact check something…the loyalists, rather than engage in a productive and comprehensive dialogue, will scream “TDS!” and then follow it up by spouting names and derogatory remarks.
Now, that is not so much as what happened with the last civil war in the United States, but the tactics are more in line with the Nazi takeover in 1930’s Germany. Mein Kampf. Project 2025. They are no different in reality.
In 1930’s Germany, in the simplest of terms, there was a push to take over the country and do away with all of the Rules of Law and due process of human rights. The “state” agencies were all headed by Nazi and, specifically, Hitler, loyalists who were given full unadulterated authority to run the agencies with any means necessary, regardless of how ruthless, to rid the country of any malcontents and opponents. Any person deemed to be disloyal to the regime, was quickly tried for treason and executed.
The end goal was to create a community, a country, a cleansed race of people who all looked alike, sounded alike, and thought alike…who were deemed to be superior to everyone and anyone else, and that country could then embark on world dominance…essentially…an ethnic cleansing to do away with opponents, detractors, and blemishes on the regime’s appearances.
Propaganda works wonders on people who are 1) not affected or THINK they are not affected and 2) believing anything they are told because they won’t admit that they might have made a mistake…ego.
Propaganda is an effective tool used to manipulate the masses.
In 1924, Adolf Hitler wrote that propaganda’s “task is not make an objective study of truth, in so far as it favors the enemy, and then set it before the masses with academic fairness; its task is to serve our own right, always and unflinchingly.”
Remember that little tidbit…“its task is to serve our own right, always and unflinchingly.”
The Nazis in 1930’s and 1940’s Germany were very skilled at using propaganda to spread their messages to the population of Germany and beyond. Once in power, Adolf Hitler created a “Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda to mold the German public opinion and spark the behaviors that would be helpful to their goals. The Nazi propaganda was effective and played a huge role in inciting hatred and fostering a climate of “indifference” to the fate of others, including the mass persecutions and executions of the people’s very own neighbors.
The Nazi regime used propaganda effectively to mobilize the German population to support its efforts to eliminate a part of the population, and to attempt to conquer the weaker countries around it. It served to secure the acquiescence of millions of other – as bystanders – racially targeted persecution and mass murder.
Using the art of propaganda, the Nazis drove people to a hatred of their fellow man, culminating in what would be a world war. Party members presented an appealing view of a new world order and a prosperous country where the working class people would be just celebrated as the aristocrats.
Millions of people were displaced, tortured, and killed. Millions more ignored it…thanks to the propaganda.
The Trump administration uses propaganda daily and does it well.
“You just tell them and they believe it. They just do.” Donald J. Trump to Billy Bush
Trump intentionally and with purpose rounded up the most incompetent buffoons to install as cabinet members.
Linda McMahon is just an absolute idiot. She just is. Which makes her perfect to be in charge of the Department of Education since they are getting rid of it anyway, right? They can replace teachers with A1…I mean AI.
How scary it is to have someone with rocks in their head, or was it worms, and takes all kinds of psychedelic drugs, in charge of telling you what is healthy and what is not?Keith Richards would do a better job than Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
Having a doctor around is convenient right? Dr. Mehmet Oz is absolute joke…because when someone collapsed on live TV he was Johnny on the Spot!
Every morning Speaker Mike Johnson faces the cameras of Fox News and tells lie after lie to the American public. It doesn’t matter the subject, his only role is to re-direct whatever question or statement is thrown his way and place the blame elsewhere. And the people believe what he says and share those words on their own social media pages…providing the regime with its very own “network affiliates.”
Every day Karoline Leavitt holds a “White House briefing” whereby she presents her daily monologue filled with deflections, spins, and flat out lies before the cameras of Fox News and other permitted (by the regime) news outlets, spreading messages with overt intent to manipulate the American public. And the people believe what she says and share those words on their own social media pages…again, providing the regime with its very own “network affiliates.”
Kristi Noem, in charge of Homeland Security, presents storylines that have proven to be without merit and completely untrue – some even so bizarre in nature that it is truly laughable – in order to create a defacto storyline that is intended to have the general population thinking specific thoughts about a particular group.
Pam Bondi, forget about her dubious past, but as the nation’s highest legal authority, she is overtly operating in direct conflict with the United States Constitution and the Rule of Law. She is willfully and purposefully BREAKING THE LAW by refusing to answer a subpoena to provide documents. She has been called before government committees to answer questions and willfully and purposefully looks to a list of “canned responses” that never answers the questions. “Responds” but doesn’t “answer.” As the chief legal authority, she damn well knows the difference. And when called out on her refusal to respond, or when caught lying, she lashes out and becomes belligerent. She also is guilty of extortion, sending a demand letter to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz saying she would call off the dogs if he sends her the documents that she wants. Nice.
Pete Hegseth is an embarrassment…he is…an embarrassment. There is no other way to describe him. He is so unqualified for the position he is in, it’s literally scary, but I will go back to “embarrassment.” He called every military leader in the US Armed Forces to a meeting in Virginia. Remember how the rule is that the President and Vice President are never to be on the same airplane? Think about that for a moment. How could anyone in their right mind put EVERY American general, admiral…all of the highest in command…in one room at the same time? Only an IDIOT would do that. But then…Hegseth was on stage giving a speech like he was talking to a group of businessmen at a sales seminar…or like he was in locker room at half-time giving a “go get ‘em” speech. It was cringe-worthy and second hand embarrassment. No reaction from the audience. Just looks of consternation.
The US military is blowing up ships in the Caribbean…with no oversight and no revelations of who these people actually are who are being blown to bits. There’s no evidence…nothing…to prove it’s about drugs. These are not ships or yachts capable of making any kind of a journey to the US shores. Rather, these are essentially tiny fishing boats. If there IS anything to the allegations that these are drug smugglers, prove it. The administration refuses.
If it IS, or WAS, all about drugs, then why did Trump pardon former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez who was serving 45 years for…what was it? DRUG SMUGGLING!
And suddenly warships are being moved from “at risk” areas of the world to the shores of Venezuela. Is this Trump’s Austria? Apparently so. He orders the kidnapping Venezuela’s leader Nicolas Maduro, and his wife, killing innocent civilians long the way, in an “oil grab?”
Then he sends an aircraft carrier to the Persian Gulf because Iran executed over 6,000 protestors, and is threatening a ground incursion to “save the people” while HIS personal paramilitary is brutalizing and executing people here on US soil? When THEY are protesting? What’s wrong with this picture?
Stephen Miller. Of all the Trump confidants, Miller gets the least limelight. And yet, he should have the biggest spotlight shined directly on him.
When you ask “Why?” to any of what is going on, you don’t have to look any further than Stephen Miller. If you delve into his background, what he did as a teenager, a college student, you will see how his personality and thought processes could elevate an awkward outcast into a sociopath who unleashes fire and brimstone on the masses while standing by and watching with glee. Whatever triggered the anger and aggression in this human being is anyone’s guess. But quite often, this is what happens when you have a movement to create discord, hate, fear-mongering, and ethnic cleansing. Donald J. Trump was only too happy to have a person like this as the architect for the strategy of his ultimate power play.
Miller has such a hatred for immigrants, that his melding of “undocumented immigrants” and “lawfully present immigrants (ones that hold green cards, visas, or other permanent residents)” into one nomenclature of “illegal immigrants” has become the rallying cry of the Trump administration and the MAGA loyalists. However, that nomenclature is unwarranted and has only created a hatred of a group of people, just like the Nazis orchestrated the hatred amongst the people of the Jews in 1930’s Germany. Straight out of the Nazi playbook.
Think about this…who was the one who created the “election was stolen” lie? Stephen Miller.
“You just tell them and they believe it. They just do.” Donald J. Trump to Billy Bush
Trump is a grifter, a conman.
Donald J. Trump to People Magazine in 1998: If I were to run, I’d run as a Republican. They’re the dumbest group of voters in the country. They believe anything on Fox News. I could lie and they’d still eat it up. I bet my numbers would be terrific.”
The loyalists who revere Trump as a businessman have to at some point realize, hopefully, that Trump’s business “prowess” is a total fabrication. Why does ANYONE laud this guy’s business acumen when….and let’s go down the list:
Trump bankrupted the United States Football League (USFL) because he was making a play to get his own NFL franchise and didn’t care the least how it affected the other USFL owners, the players, the executives and employees…he literally took the entire league down.
Trump actually bankrupted four casinos. (How dumb can you POSSIBLY be to bankrupt a casino?) Trump Taj Mahal (1991) filed for bankruptcy soon after opening. Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino (1992) filed Chapter 11. Trump Castle Hotel and Casino (1992) filed Chapter 11. Trump Hotels and Casino Resorts (2004) restructured but that just delayed the process and led to another bankruptcy.
Trump purchased the The Plaza Hotel in New York in 1988 and filed bankruptcy in 1992, losing control of it in 1995.
Trump purchased Trump Shuttle purchased for $365 million in 1989 and sold it 18 months later after losing $125 million.
Trump Entertainment Resorts went bankrupt in 2009.
Wait…it gets better…or worse.
Trump opened a non-profit, non-accredited school called Trump University in 2005. He was forced to close it down in 2010 and pay $25 million in settlements for allegations of fraud.
Trump started Trump Mortgage in 2006 and was forced to close it down within a year.
Trump embarked on a travel website in 2006 but was compelled to shut it down a year after launching it.
Trump Vodka (2006-2011) was discontinued after poor sales.
Trump Steaks (2007-2014) was discontinued also after poor sales.
And to make matters even worse, with each and every business venture going south, he literally stiffed workers, contractors, investors…always walking away and leaving others in distress and holding the bag.
A grifter is a confidence artist or swindler who uses deceit, charm, and manipulation to trick people out of money or property. Unlike thieves who use force, grifters convince victims to voluntarily surrender assets through scams, fraudulent schemes, or false promises. The term often implies a small-scale con artist, though it is frequently used to describe politically or financially self-serving individuals.
Donald J. Trump saw and opportunity and seized it because, as he said: “They’re the dumbest group of voters in the country. They believe anything on Fox News. I could lie and they’d still eat it up. I bet my numbers would be terrific.”
And with all of that, he was able to overcome and overrun anyone that got in his way. Because rather than revel in his victory, it’s been all about retribution…revenge…penalizing anyone who had the audacity, the balls, to go against him. He has had the DOJ go after all of his political foes – real or imagined.
He is taking funding from Democratic states. Not Republican states, but Democratic states. He is sending his troops into Democratic states. Not Republican states but Democratic states. He is threatening to send ICE to Democratic states’ polling centers or completely take over the oversight of voting in Democratic states. It is Donald J. Trump who is trying to rig an election.
And some other things to think about…
He repeats the same story about the rigged 2020 election. It’s been debunked. You lost. Get over it.
He repeatedly says he settled 8 wars. That is a complete and utter fabrication.
How could a draft dodger be Commander in Chief of the armed forces of the United States? How could ANY military personnel take this man seriously or have ANY respect for him?
How can someone constantly tell lies to third parties about someone and get away with it, yet sues anyone who says anything HE doesn’t like about HIM even though it’s true?
How can someone re-write history and nobody questions it and people actually go along with it?
Who gives himself a military parade to celebrate his birthday?
Who campaigns for a Nobel Peace Prize, chastises the organization for not giving it to him, lambastes a country that has nothing to DO with the Prize other than housing the organization presenting it, and then accepts the prize from someone else who actually received it?
Who claims they are in a war against drugs and then pardons one of the most notorious drug runners in the world?
What President, until now, has used the office for profiteering?
What President sues his own government for $10 billion?
The Epstein files…why haven’t they just simply been released without issues?
What was the secret meeting with Ghislane Maxwell, and how could they move a convicted pedophile and sex trafficker to a minimum security prison?
How would anyone else be treated if it became known that THEY were a pedophile?
Donald J. Trump states so many different versions about his association with Epstein that I think even HE has trouble keeping track of what he has said. But I think the best is that he was a plant, an informant for the FBI. That is my “go to” for Trump and Epstein.
I ask this question to a lot of Trump loyalists – Would you, as the parent of a young girl, leave your daughter alone in a room with Donald J. Trump? Rather than give it some thought, rather than have any concern, I just get anger directed back at me and scorn.
Again Donald J. Trump said: If I were to run, I’d run as a Republican. They’re the dumbest group of voters in the country. They believe anything on Fox News. I could lie and they’d still eat it up. I bet my numbers would be terrific.”
Again Donald J. Trump said to Billy Bush: “You just tell them and they believe it. They just do.” Donald J. Trump to Billy Bush
And Donald J. Trump represents the stupidity of this country. He can’t do simple math. Drug prices are dropping 1,500%. He has absolutely no clue about history. The U.S. and Italy have been allies since Ancient Rome. He doesn’t know geography. He had no clue who the President of Puerto Rico was during his first term as President of the United States….that HE was the President presiding over Puerto Rico.
It just boggles the mind that people can look at this man…listen to what he says…see what he does…and believe him, defend him, exalt him.
