Another Trump II Savage Whim: Pressism

Trump II's prejudice towards certain press outlets came through loud and clear, just forty six days before the midterm elections.  He directed his "pressism" towards CNN, Politico and MSNow, banning all three news organizations from the people's house.

The "ban" is not on the White House webpage.  Trump II regurgitated it on Truth Social.

Trump II expects press coverage to act like the women at Mara-Lago, acting at his beckon call, offering endless compliments and allowing him to grab a body part here and there without charge or consequence.

The Red Team knows independent voters are disgusted by Trump II's throwing his name, image, form and likeness all over Washington, D.C.  His antics around the Kennedy Center, a living monument, are petulant and cruel, especially as he "gave it back" to Congress months ago.

Independents hated Trump's Iran excursion day 1 and their contempt has only grown with each passing month.  

I expect independent voters to turn out in droves in November.  Trump II's banning three news organizations should fuel them further to institute a check on his ceaseless savage whims.  

The Red Team does not get that many Americans have had enough.  I hope any message sent in the midterms gets through.  I am tired of writing my Congressional representatives with warnings (as I worked for a Trump like boss early in my career).  

Trump II's endless self service has turned the tables on leadership, on Christ's teachings and on the Constitution itself.   He usurped a bountiful garden for himself and made a desert for so many people.  

Vote.  Everyone, please vote.

Trump II is Giant Facade

Facade is a wonderful word to describe Trump II.  I issued an early plea to elected officials to reign in this man's worst instincts.  I wrote again several months ago.  

They have done nothing that I can see in that regard.  Petty is as petty does and no I did not leave out an R.  For those who insist I use it, here goes:

Trump II is PRETTY Bizarre.

Trump-tegrity Voting

This is how Trump II breaks brains.  SNAP!!!

And everyone was Trump-FU voting

Cheating faster than lightning

In fact, it was a little bit frightening

But they did it with expert timing

Watch for Trump II to vote by mail yet again while pillorying your right to do same.  

Can Trump II Offer Bad Checks for Votes?

Trump II dressed down Senate candidate Ken Paxton at his midterm convention.  Even in "favored" Trump world there are punching bags.  The President dinged Paxton in his home state and the crowd laughed mightily.

Trump II could add, "he may not be ethical" or "he may be a criminal, like me."  Paxton was charged with securities fraud in 2015 but reached a settlement in 2024 where he performed community service and paid restitution to his victims.

That was not Ken's only brush with financial crime.   Texas Attorney General Paxton was turned in by his staff for accepting money (checks) and home renovation services from Nate Paul, an Austin private equity underwriter (PEU).  

Last night Trump offered a bounty of $5,000 per adult for electing Ken and other Red Team Congressional candidates such that they retain their majorities in each chamber.  That alone sounds unethical and possibly worthy of criminal charges.

His performance based "dividend" would need to be financed and add over $1 trillion to the national debt.  That echoes private equity's "liquidity recaps," where an affiliate takes out even more debt in order to pay a huge chunk to the sponsor as a special dividend/distribution.

Trump II and Ken Paxton are the Joe McCarthy (crazed politician) and Roy Cohn (dirty lawyer) of our time.  However, the White House is full of similar, unsavory characters.

Corey Lewandowski allegedly approached officials from two Middle Eastern countries seeking work “on the side” while serving as a special government employee — and effective “shadow secretary” of the Department of Homeland Security under Kristi Noem, with massive influence over contracts worth billions, according to a bombshell report in The Wall Street Journal.

 Red Team, Red Ink, Red Line, Red Notice....

Sorry PEU boys and your sponsored politicians, my vote is not for sale.

"Military Excursion" with Iran "Small Potatoes"

Cleanup at the French Fry machine.....small potatoes are not complying.  

Can we axe another military leader mid-war?

Ah....Don Tzu

Jesse noted:

Oil took a heavy handed hit that was a blatant price manipulation with the primary effect of enabling traders connected to Bessent and Trump to make easy illicit profits.

For a man to profit by use of insider information, he must have two things.  Access to that insider information and a deficient ethical framework that allows him to trade accordingly.  Don Tzu has both.

Any similarity of Don Tzu's image or actual words to the current President is a figment of your imagination as Trump II "is the most transparent and accessible president in American history."  Put that in the bank.  

He sure is.

Trump Makes Up Another Reason to Not Listen

White House Communications Director Stephen Cheung or another White House advisor/consultant twisted consistently "bad polling" into an attack on the Red political team.  

Many call those poor poll numbers feedback on Trump II's job performance.  Donald Trump proved long ago that he is refractory to feedback (as well as ethical standards regarding conflict of interest and legal limitations).  

Trump delivered the line he would never say without coaching

"They’re called 'Demoralization Operations,' where they try to demoralize Republicans so that they don’t go out and vote — But the actual Polls are tremendous, and the Spirit in our Country has never been higher."

The Art of the One Sided, Unreasonable Decree author is coming off the implosion of his Canada trade deal and the failure of his War of Choice with Iran to achieve any of his ever shifting objectives.

Trump knows how to crap up a relationship.  That's because he never is in one.  Trump II is the demand maker, requires absolute loyalty and doles out of trinkets for those who comply.

He cares not, he cares little, he cares not, he cares little.....
