Donald Trump gave us yet another very clear sign that he is suffering from what appears to be an advanced form of dementia on Thanksgiving by posting the most insane message to Truth Social that he's ever posted. The rant made no sense, had no basis in reality, and was filled with all sorts of slurs and attacks on migrants and Democrats. The man has completely lost his mind, and anyone who says otherwise is lying to themselves.
The mother of Karoline Leavitt's nephew has been arrested by ICE. Leavitt's brother said that the 11-year old son that he has with Bruna Ferreria lives with him and his wife full time, but that she still had a relationship with the child up until her arrest and subsequent detainment several weeks ago. Karoline Leavitt has been a vocal supporter of her boss's immigration raids, and never once did she mention that her own nephew could be at risk of losing his mother.
Donald Trump had another major meltdown this week after The New York Times reported on his failing health, specifically calling out the fact that the man can't seem to stay awake during events. Trump got on Truth Social and went completely berserk, attacking the Times while also including a litany of lies about how great everything is in this country because of his actions. The man is not only chronically fatigued, but also clearly suffering from delusions of grandeur.
An appeals court ruled this week that both Donald Trump and Alina Habba had to pay the $1 million in penalties that were imposed upon them by a lower court for filing a knowingly frivolous lawsuit following Trump's 2020 election loss. The lawsuit that was originally filed was against Hillary Clinton and James Comey (among others) for allegedly concocting the Russiagate scandal, and the courts summarily dismissed the case as having no merit and for being completely frivolous. Habba and Trump were subsequently fined, and the appeals court says that they now have to pay up.
The Republican Party, due to Donald Trump, has just received the worst polling news that they could receive with less than a year to go before a critical midterm election cycle. The new poll shows that Latino voters are overwhelmingly turning against the Party and Trump, just one year after they voted for the GOP in record numbers (48%.) This turn signals severe trouble for the Republican, and is so bad that some experts are now saying that the chances of Democrats flipping the Senate have gone way up.
Donald Trump loves to tell us that the economy is doing better than ever, and that any parts that aren't doing great are totally Joe Biden's fault. But a new poll shows that a huge majority of voters aren't buying those lies at all, and they are squarely blaming Trump for the economic pain that they are suffering from. To make matters worse, only 20% of Trump's own Republican Party believe that the economy is doing well, proving that even his Party isn't buying the BS that he's selling.
For months now, Pam Bondi's DOJ has been plagued with mass resignations of longtime employees and lawyers, and those former DOJ workers are now speaking out about the damage that Bondi and Donald Trump have done to the agency. Some say that the wreckage is so bad that it may actually be "irreversible". The recent ruling from a federal judge about Lindsey Halligan's "unlawful" appointment is only going to lead to more resignations as employee
