As a result of his dogged drive to satisfy his psychotic urges, Trump demands unflinching idolatry from his Republican comrades in Congress, his gullible cult disciples, and the deceitful MAGA media that disseminate his propaganda. Anything less triggers a severely incoherent reaction.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Absolutely BONKERS Interview with Time Affirms that His Brain Has Turned to Mush

Even the slightest divergence from an agenda of pure Trump-fluffing is intolerable to Dear Leader Trump. And in these few weeks before a midterm election that is predicted to be a Democratic tsunami, Trump is becoming more and more unhinged and desperate. Which is evident in his Tuesday morning tirade wherein he lashed out in a series of raging comments on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. He began with a common complaint that his rallies are not depicted consistent with his deranged view of them.

“My Rally crowds and enthusiasm are unbelievable! Nobody has ever seen anything like it. We are flipping races all over the place.’ […and…]

“Thanks you to the great Networks that are covering the Rallies in full. They are being rewarded with BIG RATINGS.”

There’s a reason that Trump’s crowds are “unbelievable.” It’s because he’s lying. Even Fox News knows they are ratings sinkholes. And he couldn’t cite a single race where a Republican is flipping a blue seat. Whst’s more, the channels that are showing more of his rallies have ratings so low that Nielsen doesn’t even measure them.

“FoxNews spends more time covering the Jihadist and Dumocrat candidates than they do the good old fashioned Republicans. […and…]

“All they talk about is Dumocrat Jihadists like El-Sayed, with his softball interview by Martha MacCallum, and the like. She never interviews me like that. […and…]

“Fox is promoting the Dumocrats, not the Republicans and MAGA. They have totally lost their way!”

Trump frequently asserts (aka lies) that Fox News spends more time covering Democrats than Republicans. Which is utterly delusional. And it’s all the worse considering how much time he spends watching Fox. Abdul El-Sayed has been interviewed on Fox exactly twice. And both times he endured far more pushback from the interviewers than Trump ever had.

“MY RALLIES ARE SAVING THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, AGAIN!!!”

That was just Trump’s plaintive cry into the wild to discharge his anxiety and fear of his fate when Democrats have congressional majorities. The truth is that many Republican candidates are avoiding his rallies and asking him not to come to their districts. And his big Trump-a-Palooza was an epic flop.

“FoxNews is long form interviewing the sleazebag, Dan Osborn, right now…Why are they doing this???”

Trump can’t comprehend why an alleged “news” network would interview a candidate for the Senate. However, he is also revealing that he does little else other than watch Fox News. Doesn’t he have anything more important to do than hate-watch cable TV news programs? It’s not like there is a war going on, or the economy is tanking. Oh, wait…

Trump has his own bizarre beliefs about how the press should cover politics, and particularly him. And if they don’t live up to his insane standards they are committing treason. Trump’s behavior is only going to get worse as the midterm elections get closer. But the real victims of his panic attacks will be his fellow Republicans, who are too cowardly to renounce him or his flaming asininity.

Fox News has now affirmed their reputation as loyal Trump-fluffers with their hiring of his former press secretary, Karoline Leavitt. And it didn’t take long. Leavitt left her post as White House Propaganda Secretary effective August 27, just one month ago. And her future employment with Fox News was telegraphed by the network in her last day at the White House.

SEE THIS: Fox News Tribute to Karoline Leavitt Shows How Proud They Are of Her Behaving Like a B*tch

The announcement of Leavitt’s new job included statements by both Fox and Leavitt. Her new employer boasted that…

“‘Karoline’s firsthand experience in the White House and on the presidential campaign trail gives her a distinct understanding of today’s political landscape,’ Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott said in a statement. ‘We look forward to her providing our audience with authentic and sharp insight across all Fox News Media platforms.'”

Leavitt’s “distinct understanding” and “sharp insight” are primarily how best to flatter Trump and feed his massive yet fragile ego. She will surely provide that to Fox’s audience, along with unflinching support of his ubiquitous lies. For her part, Leavitt thanked Fox for the job saying that she would be…

“…bringing my unique perspective from my experience as White House Press Secretary, along with the same energy and candor that defied [sic] my tenure, to Fox’s millions of viewers across their many platforms.”

Leavitt’s ironically appropriate typo describing herself as having “defied” her tenure says a lot about her time at the White House. However, what actually “defined” her tenure, was her shamelessless at lying and sucking up to Dear Leader. Trump.

Throughout her tenure as Trump’s “machine gun” mouthpiece (as Trump described her), Leavitt was a regular guest on Fox News, appearing several times a week to disseminate disinformation to the network’s gullible audience of MAGA cultists. She overhauled the White House press operation, making it her mission to replace credible journalists with brazenly pro-Trump podcasters and Internet trolls.

Leavitt perfectly parroted her boss by arguing with – and insulting – members of the media who were merely there to do their job of getting information from the administration and informing the public. Her new job at Fox News won’t be much different. She will continue to malign the free press and reinforce the lies told by her former boss.

In pursuit of those goals, Leavitt joins her fellow former Trump press secretary, Kayleigh McEnany, and a former George W. Bush press secretary, Dana Perino. There was another Trump PR flack, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who signed up with Fox News, but later to left to become governor of Arkansas.

It is notable that Trump has not taken any steps to replace Leavitt. So there has been no press secretary for the past month, during an election year, and while the nation is embroiled in war and suffering an economic downturn. As for whoever fills Leavitt’s shoes at the White House, we can all rest assured that it will be someone for whom lying is not a moral problem, and who unwaveringly adores Trump.

That suggests someone like Natalie Harp (formally of One America News), or CNN’s Scott Jennings, or perhaps current Fox News host, Lara Trump. Or even Donald himself. After all, no one else lies more like Trump, or loves him more. All of which makes this position particularly difficult to fill.

Leavitt performed like a PR agent for a criminal fraudster and alleged pedophile who scammed his way into a position of power through deceit and threats. In other words, she was perfectly suited for employment by Trump. And she is likewise perfectly suited for employment by Fox News. So expect nothing to change.

In desperation Trump is insisting, as usual, that he alone is the cure for the GOP’s woes. Consequently, he has scheduled a campaign tour featuring himself with an itinerary that is targeting exclusively red states where Republicans shouldn’t have to worry about the results. But they are.

SEE THIS: GOOD NEWS: Trump Will Be Campaigning for Republicans ‘Every Single Day’ Until the Election

Trump’s crusade is not being received by his MAGA confederates with the enthusiasm that he likely believes it deserves. In fact, many of them are asking that he stay away, or are declining to take the stage with him. It appears that the only politicians who are excited by this Trump junket are Democrats who recognize that his record high disapproval will only drag the GOP candidates farther down.

Ordinarily Trump could rely on his official Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, to grease the wheels of his whistle-slopping. But apparently even Fox has grown fatigued. While their primetime Trump-fluffing hours still slather him with adoration, Trump isn’t satisfied that they are fulfilling their hype duties. So he posted his discontent in a tediously lengthy comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. It’s too boring and asinine to repost here in full, but what follows are a few choice excerpts. He begins by whining that it’s…

“Sad to see that Fox & Friends (Sunday) is not covering our packed house and incredibly enthusiastic (beyond!) Rally…They were all sold out.”

Yes. It’s so sad. It’s also sad that those rallies were not packed. On site reports say that nearly half the seats were empty. Also, it is impossible for an event to be “sold out” if it doesn’t cost anything to get in. Trump continued…

“Our people want to see our Rallies, and reports on our Rallies, on FoxNews, or they will very quickly stop watching (like I am doing right now!).”

Trump is right that his cult followers want to see his rallies on Fox News. However, whether they will stop watching is an open question. After all, Trump’s own claim that he isn’t watching is a flagrant lie. How else would he know that the rallies weren’t covered? Trump continued…

“Fix spends more time talking to Communists, Socialists, and Dumocrats.”

FYI: “Fix” is not a typo. Trump is now referring to the network as fixed. And he has also taken to making preposterous accusations that they are interviewing more Democrats than Republicans.

MORE HERE: Deranged Trump FREAKS OUT: Says Fox News Gives More Airtime to Democrats than MAGA Sicko-phants

Trump continued…

“We don’t like stupid Jessica Tarlov, and all of the others, that are forced down MAGA’S throats.”

This is also true. Trump and his cult devotees hate Jessica Tarlov. Just like they hate all smart women who they are unable to rebut. They only want to have the bullshittery of bona fide Trumpists shoved down their throats. Trump continued…

“Phenomenal ratings for those that properly report…Who makes these decisions at FoxNews?”

Trump thinks that ratings for Fox News would be better if they aired his explosive diarhetoric live 24/7. However, the networks that do commit more airtime to his rallies are so lowly rated that Nielsen doesn’t even measure them. Which may be one of the reasons that Trump launched his own channel that he humbly calls “Trump TV.” And it has really gone wild with a throbbing audience of about 150 viewers.

So it may come as some surprise that Trump is enthusiastically backing the Sunshine Protection Act (SPA) that would make Daylight Saving Time (DST) permanent. The bill has already passed in the House, and likely has the votes to pass in the Senate as well. Of course, any assumption that Trump is actually concerned about the welfare of the people or the nation is wildly off base.

SEE THIS: OH BOY: More Pollution and Higher Gas Bills as Trump Rolls Back Fuel Efficiency Standards

Trump revealed why he is supporting the SPA in a comment that he posted to his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social on Saturday morning. His remarks were typically longwinded and barely coherent, saying in part that…

“Nobody wants to spend their precious time running all over the place, turning Clocks back twice a year and, having sunshine in the afternoon is better than early in the morning! […] Golfers, Tennis Players, Hunters and, perhaps most importantly, Farmers who want more Daylight to play or work. […] Almost everybody wants ‘The Sunshine Protection Act’ to pass, except for Tom Cotton…Call Tom on his cellphone at, 479-453-0533, and let him know.”

However that was not the revealing part. Trump’s post also included a copy of a letter that he received from Brian Rolapp, CEO of the PGA Tour. Rolapp’s letter included the following argument in favor of passing the SPA (emphasis added)…

“The National Golf Course Owners Association (NGCOA) estimates that permanent DST would generate 23 million additional rounds per year and $1 billion annually in new direct revenue for the golf industry — an average of $250,000 per facility. The NGCOA has also found that afternoon and evening tee times generate roughly 40 percent more revenue than morning play.”

A billion dollars a year for golf course owners. And it’s surely just a coincidence that Trump owns eleven golf resorts in the United States. That’s a pretty strong financial incentive to support making Daylight Saving Time permanent. And it would explain why Trump is badgering his fellow Republican, Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas, to get him to drop his opposition. Although Cotton doesn’t seem particularly eager to comply with Trump’s demands…

Cotton’s rebuttal isn’t very persuasive. If he’s afraid that Arkansans will have to wake up before sunrise, or send their kids to school in the dark, all they would have to do is change the hours that they do those things. For instance, start school an hour later in the winter. Then the entire nation of more than 360,000,000 doesn’t have to change their clocks, and tolerate earlier sunsets, just to accommodate those parents of young children.

There are arguments on both sides of the DST debate. Some doctors say that Standard Time is healthier. But that’s offset by the health risks caused by the biannual changing of the clocks, which include higher rates of heart attacks and strokes, more auto accidents in the darkened evening hours when there is more traffic, and the environmental harm done by increased use of energy for lighting and heating when the sun sets earlier.

While there are much more important issues that need to be addressed, this one presents a rare opportunity for a bipartisan accord on a matter that people care about. And coming right before a critical election makes it all the more significant. And it even has Trump’s support, albeit for selfish reasons.

However, it’s being hung up by a Republican who suddenly isn’t afraid to defy Dear Leader. These MAGA Republicans go along with Trump on virtually everything, such as waging an illegal war against Iran, protecting pedophiles associated with Jeffrey Epstein, backing inflationary tariffs, and building monuments to exalt our Narcissist-in-Chief. But on this issue Sen. Cotton has summoned the courage to stand up to Trump?

The Republican Party really does seem determined to convince the American people that they are weak-kneed nut cases who need to be voted out of office as soon as possible. And fortunately, the people will have that opportunity in the next few weeks. In the meantime, you can give Cotton a call at the number helpfully provided by Trump if you want to keep Daylight Saving time.

Early voting has already begun in some states. And with most polls predicting a massive blue wave washing out GOP candidates once thought to be shoe-ins, panic is setting in for Trump and his MAGA comrades nationwide. Their response is to invent preposterous attacks on Democrats, who they vainly try to portray as communists, and to send Trump out to shore up votes, despite his record low standing with the general public.

SEE THIS: GOOD NEWS: Trump Will Be Campaigning for Republicans ‘Every Single Day’ Until the Election

Naturally, Trump’s official Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, is doing their part to rig the election. On Trump’s favorite morning show, Fox and Friends, co-host Ainsley Earhardt (also Sean Hannity’s fiancé) interviewed fellow Fox Newser, and MAGA sports geek, Clay Travis, to get his predictably biased opinion on the unfolding race for the Senate in Texas between Democrat James Talarico and Republican Ken Paxton. It went something like this…

Earhardt: If you look at that Fox News poll, he [Talarico] is ahead by seven points – IN THE STATE OF TEXAS! How is that possible?
Travis: Texans have to wake up. I think sometimes, when you have seen Republicans win for generations, a lot of people out there just don’t think at all that Democrats are capable of winning in the state.

Earhardt’s confusion about how a Democrat can win in Texas could be resolved by informing her that Trump has a negative approval rating in virtually every state, and his disapproval in Texas is at 57%. And yet, according to Travis, the problem is only that “Texans have to wake up.” So now the MAGA-tists are in favor of being “woke”?

Furthermore, Democrats frequently win in Texas, including Talarico, who is currently a sitting member of the Texas House of Representatives. Also, Texas has sent 13 Democrats to Washington, D.C. to serve in the U.S. House of Representatives. So maybe these Fox News flunkies shouldn’t be so surprised. Nor should they bother to offer incoherent excuses like this one from Travis…

“Now, I watch a lot of football. I watch a lot of sports. Every single game that I am watching I am seeing Republican ads dominating. I think that Republicans have held their proverbial cash until the last moment and they are now delivering overwhelming amounts of dollars into the playing field.”

Well, that settles it. Republicans will surely prevail in November after dumping a lot of money into sports program ads in the last few weeks of the election. Because the American people will forget about their economic struggles and vote the party the caused them, and that started an illegal war, and that imposed inflationary tariffs, etc., after seeing a bunch of 30 second ads that interrupt their sporting events viewing.

Travis is praising Republicans for having hoarded their “proverbial cash” (whatever the hell that is) until after Democrats have already defined themselves and their opponents. And now he says they will unleash a barrage of commercials that will reverse the Democrats’ momentum on the playing field. Because after all, Fox News believes that Talarico’s seven point lead still marks this as a “tight” race…

What a brilliant strategy. And it just might work if Democrats decide to stay home and not vote. So this is not the time to become overconfident. It is time to renew your commitment to preserving democracy and fighting for working class families. Stay woke. And make sure that everyone you know casts their ballot, early if possible. Volunteer if you can. We can make Trump the lamest of ducks, and his SICKO-phants at Fox News even more perplexed and depressed.

The new interview is a long and tedious read that weaves aimlessly through a variety of issues including “the war in Iran, the artificial intelligence boom, the Federal Reserve, the Supreme Court, and his outlook for the midterms.” But there is almost nothing newsworthy in the whole thing because Trump just dodges the questions he’s asked, and wanders off into unrelated matters that fulfill his obsession with exalting himself. Which is typical of Trump, a malignant narcissist who has always had a tenuous connection to reality.

SEE THIS: Trump Says the Media are ‘Sick, Treasonous, Demented’ ‘SLEAZEBAGS’ – Because They Cover Him?

After wading through the lengthy barrage of bullshit, it was clear that there is nothing left of whatever cognitive capacity Trump possessed. His answers barely touched on the subject matter of the questions. But they predictably concluded with effusive praise for himself. The full transcript of the interview is here, for those with time on their hands and strong stomachs. But this article will just address the portion of the interview where Trump discussed the media.

Time’s staff began with a question about his recent banning of CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from covering certain presidential events because he didn’t like how they covered him. His ban was a blatant violation of the Constitution’s First Amendment, which a federal court affirmed and ordered Trump to revoke the ban.

QUESTION: Why should Americans believe that you respect the free press when you’re restricting access to the White House to some of our colleagues?
TRUMP: Because I do respect the free press, but I don’t respect fake news. I’ll give you an example. CNN and MSDNC, which is MS Now—they changed the name because it does so poorly. But I won the election [then rants about winning elections that he didn’t win, by margins that he never reached] It’s very important, 86% popular vote. Everything, and very conclusively, I haven’t had a good story on CNN for years. They’re incapable of being—they’re fake news. Same thing on MS NOW. […]

I don’t believe in fake news. And I know it’s fake because I know the thing—I don’t mind, you know, if I do something wrong, I don’t mind having a bad story…I’m in the Oval Office. I mean, the public is very smart. If I wasn’t doing a good job, I wouldn’t have won that election by a lot.

It’s preposterous for Trump to claim that he respects the free press that he banned. But he didn’t remain on that topic for long. He quickly diverted to bragging about his imaginary electoral successes, including having won 86% of the popular vote For the record, Trump never won anywhere near 86%. In 2024 he won 49.8% of the vote, just 1.5% more than Kamala Harris.

Then Trump wrapped up by noting that if he “wasn’t doing a good job, I wouldn’t have won.” Let’s see how he approaches that after the midterm elections in November that his MAGA Party is predicted to lose, and whether he still thinks then that “the public is very smart.”

Trump then complained about a judge that he said was “very anti-Trump,” who ruled that his banning of the free press was unconstitutional. That judge was appointed by Trump. He was reminded of that and was asked whether he would comply with the ruling. His response suggests that he doesn’t even know what a ruling is.

QUESTION: You don’t think you’re ignoring what he ordered you to do? You don’t think you’re ignoring his order?
TRUMP: No, I’m not. I’m not ignoring his order. I’m just saying that when I don’t have to go out of my way, these people write only bad stories. When they say orders, what order? I’m not even aware.

So Trump says that he isn’t ignoring the court’s order, he just isn’t going to comply with it because he doesn’t know what what it is. See? That isn’t insane at all, is it? Nor is it wackadoodle to explain why he’s banning the media by complaining that a reporter is allegedly unhappy, as he does in his next response.

QUESTION: Can I just ask, why now? You’ve had this contentious relationship with the media for a while. What was the impetus to doing this at this moment in time?
TRUMP: Well, it’s just bad story after bad story…I don’t think anybody should be forced to bear fake news, constantly bad stories, because I’ve done great things….So at a certain point, you say, “What’s the purpose of like this crazy Kaitlan Collins?” She’s a very average person. She’s the most unhappy young person I’ve ever seen.

Trump’s problem with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins is that she doesn’t smile when she’s asking him questions about serious subjects. Although he has never asked any male reporters to smile more. And this is his reason for banning CNN? That actually doesn’t comport with a different reason he gave recently…

SEE THIS: Trump Says He Banned the Media Because it is a ‘Threat to National Security and Must Be Stopped’

The national security excuse is one that Trump has been leaning on lately. He has used it to justify the building of his vanity ballroom and his triumphal arch. Even worse, he’s threatening to use it to justify declaring martial law in order to steal the election. None which makes any sense at all. It’s just further proof that his mind was turned to cottage cheese and that he needs to be institutionalized for his own safety and that of the nation, and the world. ASAP!

The result of this psychotic dichotomy is that Trump is constantly in a state of high anxiety because he simply can’t tolerate not having the unflinching adoration he craves from 24/7 press coverage. He responds to this by inventing a world wherein he is universally beloved, despite the reality in which he is floundering at record lows of public approval. In his world that is all “fake news.”

SEE THIS: Trump Says the Media are ‘Sick, Treasonous, Demented’ ‘SLEAZEBAGS’ – Because They Cover Him?

Trump’s derangement sometimes manifests in uniquely bizzarre ways. For example, on Wednesday morning Trump posted a comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, that directly attacked his official Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News. Apparently he woke up to something on TV that was less than sufficiently adoring, so he raged that…

“Why does FoxNews always put Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, Jessica Tarlov, and every Democrat on, saying bad things about the Republican Party and, of course, me? I actually think they get more airtime than Pro Republicans. This is why MAGA, and REAL Patriots, will never like Fox! They repeat a completely negative narrative, on and on it goes, and then we get a quick retort. It’s truly amazing that I won all three Elections. The opposition is enormous, but the fight goes on!”

Let’s set aside the ludicrous notion that Fox News shouldn’t ever have the Democratic leaders of the House and Senate on the air. Trump is also disturbed that Fox gives airtime to Jessica Tarlov, the lone liberal on their radically partisan right-wing panel program, The Five.

More to the point is that Trump believes that there should never be any criticism of him or his MAGA GOP comrades on Fox News. Even more ridiculous, he believes that Fox actually gives more airtime to his Democratic critics than to his wingnut cult devotees. And if that isn’t crazy enough, he also thinks that because of that preposterous analysis, the ultra-conservatives who venerate him “will never like Fox!” Who does he think is watching? That is, besides him.

Trump offers as validation of his anti-Fox commentary the lie that he “won all three elections.” By that he is including the election of 2020, that he lost. But in his mind his imaginary winning streak is evidence that something is wrong with the media, because he manages to prevail even though everybody is against him. Poor paranoid baby.

What we know for sure is that Trump is not unaware of the overwhelming support he gets from Fox News. Every single program host – Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Jesse Watters, Will Cain, Bret Baier, Greg Gutfeld, and the the “Curvy Couch” potatoes on Fox and Friends – are certified Trump-fluffers.

And yet Trump’s dementia produces the illusion that Fox News is a network where “they repeat a completely negative narrative,” and “the opposition is enormous.” With mental impairment that severe, there is really nothing left to say. Except that it is imperative that Trump be diminished in power for the remaining time that he occupies the White House.

Which is where every voter in America comes in. Since we can’t rely on Republicans in Congress to act responsibly, we must vote them all out. Early voting begins in the next week in many places. And November is just around the corner. Make a plan to vote, and take your friends and family with you.

Virtually every poll shows that Democrats are heading toward blowout victories that could wind up with them in the majority in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. Those polls also show that Trump is trailing Democrats on just about all of the issues that Americans regard as most important, including the economy and Trump’s reckless and illegal war against Iran.

SEE THIS: Fox News Poll Says ‘Democrats Are Considered the Party that Would Better Handle…’ EVERYTHING!

In a bid to prevent the Trump Titanic from sinking, his former Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, visited Fox News to deliver what she must have thought would be good news for her fellow Republicans (video below). She said that…

“I was with the president today, checking in with our friend and my old boss, and I will tell you he is ready to hit the road. He will be on the road almost every single day in the month of October, campaigning for Republicans up and down the ballot, and drawing this contrast between the common sense vision that he shares with Republicans on Capitol Hill, and the far-left vision of the radical Democrats who are on the ballot who we cannot allow control of this city.”

HOORAY! So while the nation is embroiled in the war that Trump started – and is losing – in Iran, and while Americans are struggling to make ends meet, Trump will be devoting his time and energy to campaigning for his MAGA comrades. That is if he can tear himself away from his pet projects to build a vanity ballroom and invade Greenland.

The best part of this news is that any attention that Trump gives to Republican candidates will probably make them less likely to prevail in November. That’s why many of them are asking him to stay away. and if he shows up uninvited, they don’t attend the event with him. The only people happier about Trump’s promise to campaign are Democrats nationwide.

However, Leavitt wasn’t finished with her pathetic propagandizing. She added some commentary on her views of what Democrats stand for. And it was as bizarre a spectacle as you can imagine. She enumerated policies that Democrats never held, and which were actually completely fabricated, over-the-top bullshittery. And she had the gall to declare at the end of her harangue that it was “not an exaggeration.”

“Over the next 35 days Republicans – and I know president Trump is going to do it – must ruthlessly prosecute the Democrats as who they are. Extreme, far-left liberals who want to destroy our economy, want to take away your private property, raise your taxes, take your hard-earned money, abolish prisons, abolish police, open our borders to insane people all over this world, and end America as we know her and love her. That is not an exaggeration.”

SERIOUSLY! Do you remember when Democrats promised to “destroy our economy,” and “take away your private property,” and “abolish prisons,” and “open our borders to insane people”? Yeah, neither does anyone else. And if this is the caliber of campaigning that Trump will be engaging in for the next month, Democrats are going to need a venue even bigger than Trump’s giant ballroom to hold their post-election celebration.

That said, take nothing for granted. Be sure to vote and get all of your friends and family to vote. We can’t just rely on the stupidity of Trump and Republicans, no matter how reliable that is.

Trump’s return engagement was marked for failure early on. He stacked his cabinet with fiercely sycophantic flunkies who had little to no experience or qualifications for jobs they were given. Consequently we have an alcoholic Fox News host serving as the Secretary of War Crimes, a heroin addict who doesn’t believe in vaccines as Secretary of Health, Trump’s personal criminal defense lawyer serving as Attorney General, and at least twenty MAGA cult disciples who were recruited from Fox News.

The resulting disasters should not surprise anybody. We are mired in the eighth month of a war against Iran that Trump said would last only a few weeks. The economy is a mess with a $40 trillion debt and the American people struggling to make ends meet. New outbreaks of disease and food recalls are announced daily. Trump has been granted near blanket immunity by his radical right-wingers on the Supreme Court. No wonder his approval ratings are at record lows as we approach the midterm election. Even Fox News can’t completely ignore it anymore.

If you think it seems like Trump and his regime are doing everything they can to help Democrats win in November, you aren’t wrong. Trump recently rejected an offer from Iran to end the war. He’s kissing up to brutal dictators like Xi Jinping of China, while chastising faithful allies like Canada. And on Monday he bragged about keeping his promises to – um – raise your gas bills and foul the air?

Trump’s Rapid Response account on Twitter/X posted a comment that said “PROMISE MADE, PROMISE KEPT: Trump rolls back car efficiency standards.” The comment linked to an article in The Hill that reported that…

“The Trump administration has rolled back car fuel efficiency [CAFE] standards requiring automakers to ensure their cars and light trucks were using less fuel. […]

“The administration argued that this would make cars cheaper, though opponents of the move point out that car owners could spend more on gasoline as a result. The change could also lead to more pollution and worsen climate change.”

WINNING? This is what the Trump regime regards as a “promise kept” that is worthy of boasting about? Do they think that the American people are going to appreciate this policy change that Trump is making on his own, without the support of the people or Congress or science?

For the record, Trump, who says that climate change is a hoax, previously lowered the CAFE target to 40 miles per gallon from the Obama era target of 54. Biden raised it back to 50. Now Trump is proposing to lower it even farther down to 35 MPG. Although he may encounter some obstacles. While he appears to be ignoring the administrative procedures required to make these changes, he won’t be able to so easily wave off the likely court challenges.

It’s interesting to note that if Trump’s followers actually read the article to which he linked (doubtful), they might get a different story than the fairy tale that Trump is telling. The Hill quoted Dan Becker, director of the Center for Biological Diversity’s Safe Climate Transport Campaign, saying that…

“Consumers will pay the price for these reckless rollbacks while Trump’s Big Oil and Big Auto buddies reap the short-term profits. This move spells short- and long-term disaster for people’s health, the planet, and even U.S. automakers who’ll sit on the sidelines while clean cars advance around the world.”

If Trump’s regulations remain in place, it will insure that everyone will be paying more for gas, because they will be using more of it. And that bill is coming due right as gas prices are climbing to new heights. Simultaneously, Trump’s plan will cause more pollution, resulting in more expenses related to health care and lost work time. Not to mention the human misery.

But never fear…Trump believes that this is another promise that he kept. The only problem is that it was a promise made to the oil industry and auto manufacturers so that they could rake in more profits at the expense of the working class Americans that Trump couldn’t care less about.

The good news is that those people will soon be keeping their own promise to throw Trump’s MAGA-tists out of office and restore common sense – and sanity – to the government.

True to form, Trump didn’t care because he has no respect for the Constitution or the cherished principles that it embodies. And that’s especially true of his aversion to the free press that he regularly refers to in Stalinist terms as “the enemy of the people.” Despite his craven addiction to getting constant attention, he has an open hostility to the media that provides it.

SEE THIS: Trump Says the Media are ‘Sick, Treasonous, Demented’ ‘SLEAZEBAGS’ – Because They Cover Him?

On Sunday morning Trump’s Attorney General and criminal defense lawyer, Todd Blanche, was on ABC’s This Week to demonstrate just how loyally sycophantic he is to his MAGA cult leader Trump. Of course many of Trump’s minions are flaming sycophants, so that isn’t particularly surprising. But when the subject of Trump’s ban on the media came up, Blanche proved that he is in a class all his own. He said that…

“Well, the president hasn’t denied access. That’s not the right way to describe it. What the president has said is that he is sick and tired of certain media outlets just refusing to report accurate news. It is a privilege to be in the White House for anybody, and the president knows that. It’s the people’s house. […]

“The unfortunate and sad thing here is that after years and years and years of one-sided media coverage of the president from certain outlets, the president finally said it’s not fair to the American people…Being in the White House is a privilege; it’s not a right.”

REALLY? So when Trump denied access to the media he wasn’t denying access? He was merely “sick and tired of certain media outlets” so he prohibited them from entering the White House. See how different that is? Blanche just declared that entering the White House is a privilege, not a right, and Trump can decide who gets the privilege. And he can base his decision on whether he is sick of certain outlets.

For the record, it is wrong to describe access to the White House as either a privilege or a right. It is mandated by law that the Supreme Court has affirmed, wherein if access is given to the media, it may not be revoked based on viewpoint discrimination.

Blanche’s comments in this interview actually confirm that Trump’s denial of access is unlawful. He admits that Trump made his decision due to his opinion that some reporting was allegedly not accurate. In Trump’s mind that means he disagreed with it, or that it was truthful and made him look bad. And Blanche has the gall to frame it as Trump wanting to be fair to the American people. By censoring the media?

In the same interview Blanche awkwardly tried to frame Trump’s media ban as a “national security issue.” Then he whined that Trump’s words were being taken seriously. No, really. When he was told that Trump complained that the media “want to try to diminish Republicans,” Blanche had a peculiar rebuttal that essentially argued that people shouldn’t listen to what Trump says…

Clearly there is a problem with the Attorney General who still sees himself as representing Trump, rather than the American people or the Constitution. And while he is only one of Trump’s Cabinet flunkies who feel that way, he is the one with the judicial system under his control. Furthermore, his comments regarding the media are way out of his lane. But then there hasn’t been a press secretary for several weeks since Karoline Leavitt resigned. Maybe Blanche is aiming to add that job to his portfolio.
