Hmm. Keeping in mind the cover of Time says nothing at all about whether the person or entity covered is good or bad, Putin has been on the cover of Time at least 10 times in the last 10 years.
Trump: "I was just on the cover of Time Magazine I think its 57 Times. So, they just gave me an award. I was on the cover of time magazine more than any other man"

You can’t even speak English as well as my twin cousins who were born in the US in the early 2000s before their parents moved permanently to Israel. And you want a Pulitzer? The only ask more ridiculous is your tired, ineffective whining about the Nobel Peace Prize. I hate to tell you, but you will NEVER even be considered for a Nobel. But at least you muscled your way into the last Nobel Peace Laureate into giving you here medal. That’s as close as you’re ever going to get. But, you are the undisputed winner of the first (and maybe the last) FIFA 2026 Peace Prize. Hahahaha! And I believe that somehow he got MIT to send him his Uncle John’s some kind of medal. Trump is so dim that it’s the physical medals that turns him on. Even if they’re not his.
Trump: I didn't get the Nobel Prize. I didn't get the Pulitzer. I should have gotten the Pulitzer for writing too.

Every time Trump gets asked a question about a recent newsworthy event that is heavily reported that he doesn’t want to answer, he says “I know nothing about that”. This from an asshole who repeatedly repeats, “I know more about xxx than anyone else. Uh huh. Makes (no) sense, right?

Not sure about that, but if I were casting someone to play Dracula’s son, I think Barron would win hands down.
Serious question: Has anyone ever actually heard Barron Trump speak?

Do you think Trump or Vance could define and contrast socialism and communism? Vance showed yesterday that he could not, but I’ve never heard Trump answer that question. I am quite certain that all Trump knows about either is “Bad!”.

Witkoff’s incredibly obsequious compliments to Putin today left me shell-shocked. It was the best vocal blowjob I’ve ever heard. Trump keeps running he and Kushner out to negotiate critical international relations. All they do is negotiate for the US’ enemies and enrich themselves in the process.

Hey Juvenile Delinquent (JD), no matter what you say or write, you’ll never ever even win a primary, let alone a vote, for any office of the US in the 2028 election.
Reporter: What would you say to criticism that you are cracking down on fraud, but there have been other members or former members of the administration who have been sort of criticized for pay-to-play, like Kimberly Guilfoyle? Vance: We want to fight fraud wherever we see it. We are not going to attack somebody based on an anonymously sourced story. In some of the cases, you have to let the facts play out and see what the facts actually are. Look, if I see anybody trying to do pay-for-play within our government, within our administration, I can tell you I am not going to have to call the president and encourage him to do something. He is going to call me and demand an answer as to why we aren’t doing more. But you have to let the facts drive these things. There is no person who hates the idea of people enriching themselves fraudulently over access to the government more than Donald J. Trump. He has been a great advocate for our antifraud efforts. He has been the person who has driven most of our antifraud efforts. Fundamentally, the president is not going to stand for this. But we will not try people in the court of public opinion. We will let the facts develop. That’s one thing I would say to the American people. I see stories about our administration, and sometimes my initial reaction to them is, I really don’t like that. Then, when you read the details, you realize that a lot of what’s being accused is either based on an anonymous source or is completely fraudulent. There’s no real evidence for it at all, which is why, again, we don’t try people in the court of public opinion. We actually try people according to the real facts that are out there. But I can tell you, this attorney general and the entire administration, we reject pay-for-play. We reject anybody getting enriched off their connections to the government. If we see it happening, whether it’s our partisan friends or partisan enemies, we are going to do something about it.

Very well said. After Trump, Musk is the most dangerous man in the US.
I was screaming for Twitter to be nationalized when there was a lot of confusion around Musk buying it. The intentions of the purchase weren't overtly stated, but it was obvious that he planned to use it in every nefarious way to further his interests, including influencing voters' minds through deep manipulation of the algorithms. He also used it to promote his own business operations and to shape public reactions by tweaking Twitter conversations. He also got a massive advantage: free data—hundreds of billions of tweets—to feed his AI tools and ambitions, for which users got nothing in return. Also, Twitter had already become a channel for important public-interest agencies, public or government, to disseminate critical information. A ketamine addicted, maladjusted, impulsive megalomaniac controlling such a channel should be unacceptable for a democracy. It therefore made immense sense to nationalize Twitter. I think it still does. Except that another goon is sitting atop the hill right now, who cannot be trusted to undertake such an action. But when Dems rule the roost ......

Navarro is a pretty shitty economist. But at least he has experience in the field. To have this asshole claim to understand immunology, clinical treatment of Covid and any other biomedical endeavor is beyond absurd. He claims in the clip below that ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine (he owns millions of dollars of hydroxychloroquine, as Trump would say, “Imagine that!”, “cures Covid. Full Stop, and would have saved thousands of American lives”. Navarro seems to think that it’s only the American Democrats that blocked the use of ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine to treat Covid. Nope. It’s a worldwide medical fact that no reputable doctor in any country rotisserie recommend them. They simply don’t work. But the mRNA vaccine does! But Navarro still needs to unload the tons of hydroxychloroquine that he bought on spec. Gee, too bad Petey.
a deranged Peter Navarro lies on Newsmax of covid that Fauci "created the virus himself"

Vivek Ramaswamy is foul and disgusting. And he’s losing to Amy Acton by around 6 points. Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.

When Trump says “most people don’t know….” what he really means is that HE didn’t know. He uses that stock phrase a lot, because he’s colossally ignorant and stupid. And he’s proud of it.
Trump: Dumocrat. I use that new term. It took me years to figure it out. I don’t know what took me so long. It’s so dumb. You take the E out, you replace it with a U. And most people don't know that 'dumb' has a B, so we throw that out too.

It’s really remarkable how often Vance, unintentionally, accuses Democrats of doing exactly what Trump and he have been doing continuously since January 2025.
Vance: There are people out there who will quite literally steal from the mouths of hungry children to enrich themselves.

He’s rude, crude and demented. Heeeeere’s Trumpy.
Trump SNAPS 😡 Reporter: "How is fading those sanctions securing the release of Hubbard not giving something to Russia" Trump: "Are you a stupid person who do you work for" Reporter: ABC news Trumo: "You're a stupid person. and by the way your network is the worst of all."

Stocks October 21 DJT Trump Media & Technology Grou... $6.66 +2.94% BZ=F Brent Crude Oil $109.75 +0.88% Look at the price of DJT. We always thought Trump was the Antichrist. Now his stock price is declaring it worldwide. Next look at Brent Crude. 25 cents below $110. As the Antichrist, Trump’s job is to inflict as much misery, pain and suffering as possible. He’s doing a hell of a job (see what I did there?).

If Trump’s IQ is as high as he claims (“stable genius”, “smartest president in history” etc., then why has he threatened to sue every school he ever attended if they release any transcripts? He’s such a braggart that if his grades were any good at all, he’d plaster them all over the internet. But obviously he knows that they’re shitty. And IQ? Trump is so dumb that he thinks the 10 minute MoCA is an IQ test, or an aptitude test or anything other than what it is: a test for dementia. As to an IQ number, you can only get that from standardized tests like the Wexler Adult Intelligence Scale or the Stanford Binet IQ test. These generally take several hours to complete and must be administered by a licensed psychologist or similar. Trump doesn’t have the attention span to actually complete one of those. When I asked a number of AIs to estimate Trump’s IQ (try it yourself!) the range of 5 AIs was 85-105. The mean was close to 98, which is 2 points (non-significant difference) bow average.

Apparently the Trump psychosis is contagious. Trump has made well over $2,000,000,000 ($2b) from his very shady crypto deals. For sure Vance knows this. But this is about the 3rd or 4th flat out lies that he’s told and it’s only Wednesday lunchtime.
Vance: There is no person who hates the idea of people enriching themselves fraudulently over access to the government than Donald J. Trump

Trump declared, moments ago in the Oval Office, that if he’s not on a ballot, as in the midterms, voter turnout is decreased by 49%. This is, I’m shocked to report, a complete fabrication. Not the first today.

Why doesn’t the MSM rebut and rebuke Trump’s clearly false statements? Could it be that there are simply so many lies that if they tried to refute them, there’d be no time to report on anything else?

There’s zero chance of Republicans taking both the House and Senate. So Trump is promising nothing. But MAGA is too stupid to realize this.
Trump: "If you elected a Republican House and Senate on November 3, you're gonna get $5,000. And if we lose, you get nothing. You're gonna get nothing! If we lose, you get nothing. Make it a lot easier vote."

He Is arguably responsible for all of Trump’s political actions in this term.
