At 10:14 this morning, Donald Trump shared a cartoon video that, at any other time in history, would have had him removed from office, or at the very least, opened an immediate investigation into his mental health and his ability to lead this country.
The video that he shared on his Truth Social account was made to resemble an episode of “Family Guy,” set inside the White House press briefing room, with Dana White, the UFC chief executive and longtime Trump ally, acting as the press secretary. It started with White standing behind the podium with seven UFC fighters beside him, announcing, “Trump made me press secretary. I brought help.” Then the press starts asking questions. The first reporter asks, “Is Trump a threat to democracy?” Instead of answering the question, White calmly says, “Khabib,” summoning UFC fighter Khabib Nurmagomedov, who immediately grabs the reporter, throws him to the ground, and pins him there before saying, “Let's talk now.” Another reporter, visibly frightened and crying, says, “I don't feel safe!” White responds by calling for Islam Makhachev, who picks that reporter up, throws him over his shoulder, and carries him away, saying with a thick accent, “Two, three years. Dagestan.”
Truly terrifying. Truly disgusting. I often wonder - what if the press simply ignored Trump? Had headlines to articles such as “Today the President said” and then a blank article. No TV coverage. A blank screen with a subtitle” The President makes a speech”. Above all else, he craves oxygen.
I also note a certain cowardice in the White House press corps. The man insults one of their members, usually a woman, and nobody jumps in to defend. Nobody walks out.
Thirdly, as Jeff Teidrich so rightly points out, no journalist asks “What the fuck is wrong with you?"
Actually Constantine, it’s a good idea with blank articles and screens. It would drive the orange moron crazy. On the other hand, how would people then know what is going on, the resistance must continue with increasing speed to stop the madness.
I find it hard to believe that Trump is clever enough to plan a video which shows all those details in order to send specific messages. Does anyone agree with me? If I’m right, it’s a particularly nasty person who is helping him and we should know who it is !
I have always thought it is Stephen Miller or some staff that create much of the social media coming from the WH…I agree that Trump isn’t that smart to come up with all of this!
They are a truly evil trio. I just saw a Vice News clip this a.m. of Miller, at age 17, advocating for punishing shooters by cutting off their fingers…because tort)re is ‘life affirming’👿 he said it gleefully, with a smile.
He's too fucking stupid to do anything........................including run the government. So, it's the people around him doing this work and none of them can read the room, last Tuesday comes to mind. We're not done here the election was just the start, don't be afraid and as a veteran I sure as hell am not, I want some fucking accountability.
I actually think he DID create the video, maybe with some help. I think these videos are, in a sense, his life’s work; something he’s very proud of. He really doesn’t spend much time thinking about how to improve the lives of most Americans.
Thanks Heather for your voice of truth- frightening as it is, it needs to be said, and please know there are a lot of actual sane folks who appreciate and support you!
Trump is now on full implementation of Roy Cohn’s rule 1: Attack Attack Attack - although it may have originally been a legal strategy used by Cohn for his clients’ defense, it most certainly is not in any way healthy or helpful for running our country— but neither is the person cosplaying as our president.
I only hope these latest actions which are now so beyond reason, will jolt our new congressional leadership into immediate corrective action.
There certainly is ample evidence to work with!
But we’re running out of time before we all get stuck with a full-on authoritarian armor plated permanent maladministration.
Trump always tests public reaction to his planned moves by first running them up the flagpole so to speak as some kind of comment or meme he can pass off as a joke. He's clearly telegraphing that he plans to attack journalists and that their physical safety will be in danger.
How far can this mob-boss actually go, especially with Steve Miller, Ross Vought, Todd Blanche and several others working behind the scenes. Let us suppose, that he becomes so unhinged, that he takes over the White House and ‘bunkers-in’. The senate upholds an impeachment call and he is considered dangerous and to be removed from office, but he calls on Hegseth to bring the military to protect himself and his enablers. Who then actually does the arrest and capture of this lawless bunch of hooligans who have seized the White House. Just thinking that there should be a strategy for the eventuality that Trump manages to carry out that which was thwarted by the Washington Police on January 6, 2021. He is beginning to surround himself with thugs to protect him. This is a cautionary note not to be brushed off lightly as folly. He is erratic and therefore unpredictable. Expect the worst and hope for the best.
Yes, Trump’s trying to “normalize the idea that journalists deserve to be silenced by force” — and again and again, he insists it’s all a joke. His cult loves him for “telling it like it is.” But normal folks think he’s behaving as an adolescent who’s unable to respond to criticism and mockery with his own wit. Instead, he gets nasty and says, “Just kidding!”
Trump is behaving this way because he’s been backed into the corner of lame duck status. He knows the game’s nearly over, and he’s returning to the bad boy posture that plays to his base. Hate and fear. It’s all a cage fight now — daring his opponents to impeach him. He’ll overplay his hand at home, just as he did abroad, because he’s not smart enough to be in this game.
So Trump and his team are interpreting their thumping defeat as taking the restraining lid off anything they do. We need to continue fighting fire with greater fire. Congregational leadership must be sharpened and kicked into high gear. The elections' demonstration of the power of democracy must continue by other overwhelming means.
I’m under the impression that Trump made a mistake when looking over the shortlist over possible press secretaries and came up with this ludicrous choice-nobody was brave enough to point this out, now it’s spiralling out of control. My guess is the bald guy will make an excuse and leave.
I am glad that I’m able to support four or five of you all, providing us with the truth.
But what I really wanna talk about is Dana White. Either Trump is stupid because he thought Dana White was the wrestler/promoter and he said today he was just kidding, or he’s stupid because he wasn’t clued in to the fact that Dana White is a woman on his communications staff who could probably step in seamlessly into that press position. Dumbass. With or without a “b”.
The truth is Trump is so out of the loop, when given a short list of possible names for a new press secretary the name Dana White was on it.
The Dana White it MEANT is a black female member of the Pentagon communications team who has been there for 20 years.
She is very well respected and has been mentioned before for this job.
Trump is so clueless he thought it was his BUDDY Dana White the wrestling promoter and he jumped on the suggestion and tweeted it out before FACTS…which he never deals in..
could be explained to him.
After he was told what was really happening ..he doubled down to save face and they came up with that disgusting taunting video to distract from his embarrassing revelation of how ignorant and truly out of touch he is.
Now he says he was JOKING about his Dana White remark….sure..and the dog always eats the homework.
This is the MO and of course it’s getting worse because they’re scrambling trying to figure out their next moves and how they’re going to implement them.
The press must be dogged in their coverage of him..they must NOT fear him or be intimidated by what they try and pull…every move needs to be scrutinized and exposed.
Miller is a danger but he’s also been diffused and anyone who has any hopes of continuing their careers in DC are going to distance themselves from his toxicity and turn their backs on him…he is a vile and heartless creature who has the charisma of scum and he’s going to try real hard to keep a LOSER viable.
That’s not going to work ..he will stop at nothing until he’s stopped..and he will be one way or another.
That
should be our focus now…keep the disinfecting light of truth not lies..facts not fiction shining on them non-stop…be aware of what they’re doing..trying..and why and then fight back.
We’re in the driver’s seat now…take the wheel and hold on to it.
Paula, for sure. We need to keep focused and not follow the distractions. The press NEEDS to band together and be prepared to fight for “free press” and “free speech” and WE the PEOPLE NEED to be fighting for ALL of our rights and right behind them.
The Dems. NEED to be PROACTIVE and hopefully are working hard behind 5e scenes. I saw an interview with Hillary Clinton, that Dems. and others are running EVERY worst case, dangerous scenario that they can come up with in War-room type scenarios.
WE the PEOPLE NEED to also be Ready and focused and not linger on our Blue-nami, but use it to move forward. We NEED to be prepared as we know trapped and cornered animals always become MORE Dangerous.
Stephen Miller, the Nazi Nosferatu Goebells is in the Spotlight and Project 2025, Vought and the Heritage Foundation and ALL the players are still in place, the Dog Whistles are being blown and ANYTHING goes as far as they are concerned.
The video shows, yet again, the true level of desperation of this administration! WE THE PEOPLE need to continue to stand together and support the independent journalists who we KNOW will give us the truth! Proud to support them!
Truly terrifying. Truly disgusting. I often wonder - what if the press simply ignored Trump? Had headlines to articles such as “Today the President said” and then a blank article. No TV coverage. A blank screen with a subtitle” The President makes a speech”. Above all else, he craves oxygen.

Thirdly, as Jeff Teidrich so rightly points out, no journalist asks “What the fuck is wrong with you?"
I agree..just don’t give him any coverage..he craves it..he would implode!
Actually Constantine, it’s a good idea with blank articles and screens. It would drive the orange moron crazy. On the other hand, how would people then know what is going on, the resistance must continue with increasing speed to stop the madness.
Actually they were standing on the podium and behind the lectern.
I find it hard to believe that Trump is clever enough to plan a video which shows all those details in order to send specific messages. Does anyone agree with me? If I’m right, it’s a particularly nasty person who is helping him and we should know who it is !
I have always thought it is Stephen Miller or some staff that create much of the social media coming from the WH…I agree that Trump isn’t that smart to come up with all of this!
Stephen Cheung, Miller and Harp
They are a truly evil trio. I just saw a Vice News clip this a.m. of Miller, at age 17, advocating for punishing shooters by cutting off their fingers…because tort)re is ‘life affirming’👿 he said it gleefully, with a smile.
Russ Vought
There’s no way Trump could do that video. Wonder if hateful Steven Cheung was behind it. They’re terrified as they well should be.
It's probably an intern who’s been told to have at it, “make the meanest video you can.”
He's too fucking stupid to do anything........................including run the government. So, it's the people around him doing this work and none of them can read the room, last Tuesday comes to mind. We're not done here the election was just the start, don't be afraid and as a veteran I sure as hell am not, I want some fucking accountability.
There is thought that it is Natalie harp but I think he has a little group of rather warped techies who do it.
I agree. The nuances of much of this AI slop is too intricate for his addled "mind"
Hmmm very good point!
I actually think he DID create the video, maybe with some help. I think these videos are, in a sense, his life’s work; something he’s very proud of. He really doesn’t spend much time thinking about how to improve the lives of most Americans.

And a Black woman at that
so having NO chance of being selected by Trump for any job.
I am glad that I’m able to support four or five of you all, providing us with the truth.

Gaslighting should come with a substantial per-word fine.
