Trump Has Earned a Degree in Bribery

I expect that after these midterms Trump is going to have his human printer Natalie Harper ghost write a book for him titled, "The Art of the Bribe."

Taking the most felonious route to convincing people to vote for him or his minions through bribery Trump is gleefully letting it all hang out. 

Nothing is too blatant. Laws are mere obstacles in his way to outright buy votes. His tiny hands are so deep in the cookie jar of political corruption he feels invulnerable.

Let's take a look at one of the most outlandish open bribes Trump has trotted out prior to the midterms.

Who can forget that famous Republican midterm convention on Sept. 9 when Trump explicitly pledged that he would authorize a $5,000 cash payment to every American adult on one specific condition: if Republicans retain the control of both the House and the Senate.

Political Bribery 101 clearly states that direct, specific cash payouts promised directly to individual citizens are illegal. Case closed.

Trump is amping up promises of cash payments in exchange for votes just 29 days before Americans go to the polls. 

Last week Trump announced his regime will send a one-time payment of $90 - "or nearly $100" - to more than 20 million senior citizens to help pay a portion of their Medicare benefits that his regime reduced in the Big Awful Bill (the only thing the 119th Congress passed).

The regime is now sending out $500 checks to nearly a million Americans for what it described as refunds for "excessive fees" resulting from the Biden Administration's handling of the Affordable Care Act. Another lie, but whose counting?

Here's a quick question:

When was the last time Trump actually gave non-wealthy Americans money?

I know, it's a trick question. It's never happened. So why would people believe it's going to now?

Trump's partner in crime Elon Musk has poured millions of bribery dollars into buying votes in 2024 and is busy again this election funneling money into the electoral system for votes.

We must not forget Trump is the man who tried to bribe a porn star ahead of the 2016 election and ended up being convicted of 34 felony counts of fraud in the first degree. 

With credentials like that it's no surprise he's graduated to the "in your face" phase where legal restraints don't bother him during his second - no guardrails - term.

Throughout his business career and presidency Trump has faced numerous high-profile allegations, investigations, and legal controversies related to bribery, illegal campaign contributions, and public corruption.

As it Stands, just think, if Trump University hadn't been shut down for ripping people off, Donald could have awarded himself a Doctorate Degree in Bribery...along with a trophy.

Trump Believes Grok is a Fellow Stable Genius

Apparently, Trump is ready to share his self-proclaimed stable genius status with Grok. 

Whose Grok you may well ask?

Grok is an AI model serving the Department of Defense.

It's not the only AI model serving the military. Open AI and Anthropic are also used to deploy and strike targets during the Trump/Epstein War.

But Grok is Trump's favorite. If you're wondering why go back to a meeting with Elon Musk recently where Musk extolled the virtues of his chatbot Grok. For hours, Trump questioned Grok and asked questions like how Venezuelans would respond to the capture of their president?

The Atlantic reported that Grok told Trump that Maduro was a "deeply unpopular dictator and that many Venezuelans would celebrate his downfall." 

A few months later, after Maduro's capture there were celebrations and Trump came away believing Grok was ingenious. It sure would be interesting to know what else Trump asked his new best friend.

We're definitely going to hear more about Grok in the coming days as the Pentagon announced that Musk and Anduril's Palmer Luckey have been tapped to co-lead a study about how advanced technology is, and can be, used in battlefields.

You've got to hand it to Musk. He knows how to be the Wizard in the Background who is actually running the nation's war machine. Now he can concentrate on keeping Trump in power during the midterms.

So many questions remain. 

Will Natalie Harp become jealous of Grok's new prominence in Trump's world?

Will Trump demand to rename Grok after his favorite historical dictator?

Will Trump put Grok on the pardon list when he eventually leaves office?

As it Stands, I do foresee some problems ahead when Grok insists on citing facts and not Trump's version of reality.

Current Court Cases That Have Defied Trump and the DOJ

The most severe legal rebuke against Trump and the DOJ has resulted in the federal judge referring Trump's attorneys for disciplinary action.

The court voided the $1.776 billion "anti-weaponization" fund that had been established via settlement to block the IRS from auditing Trump, his family, and his businesses. Trump is now subject to future audits.

The judge suggested that there be investigations into the DOJ attorneys who acted in concert with Trump's team. A federal appeals court officially upheld this ruling.

Executive and Immigration Policy Setbacks

The regime has faced continuous resistance from the federal bench regarding immigration enforcement tactics.

Hundreds of district and circuit court judges have systematically rejected a new DOJ and regime interpretation of a 1996 immigration law intended to deny bond hearings to immigrants arrested away from the border. A Supreme Court review is pending.

The DOJ lost a lawsuit against the entire federal bench in Maryland, which sought to overturn a court order limiting the regime's ability to fast-trach certain deportations.

The Supreme Court denied a regime application for a stay in a lawsuit brought by a terminated federal official (Perlmutter) allowing her to remain in her position while her challenge against the regime plays.

Fighting Free Press Restrictions

The regime's efforts to restrict the media have also met immediate resistance in the courts:

In September 2026, CNN, MS Now, and Politico sued the regime after the White House announced a ban on their journalists. A Washington D.C. district judge rapidly issued a Temporary Restraining Order against the regime, blocking the ban from taking effect.

It's almost time for the Supreme Court to kick off its 2026-2027 term with multiple high-stakes cases to their docket. These cases directly challenge the regime's aggressive enforcement policies and sweeping regime actions.

The Supreme Court just agreed to review the nationwide crackdown on undocumented immigrants. On deck is a controversial challenge to the swift deportation tactics and the Court's emergency interim docket push for quick reversals of lower court mandates (Trump vs Kingdom).

The court battles are getting more intense as we near the midterms. Trump's fears of facing a Democratic led Congress have caused him to openly deny court rulings - like in the press ban case where he is ignoring the judge's orders and is continuing to ban CNN.

As it Stands, our judicial system is surviving extraordinary attacks from a corrupt regime which should give us all hope.

Trump Lives in a Fake World

The only thing that's real in Trump's life is what he believes.

Repeatedly calling real events fake erodes public trust in shared facts and traditional institutions.

When people are unsure of what is true, they are more likely to rely on their pre-existing political loyalty and Trump knows this in his lizard brain.

The first felon throws out the word fake like a cluster bomb against reality on a daily basis. By labeling unfavorable reporting as fake, he's attempting to neutralize negative news cycles. Analysis has shown his use of the word often peaks during periods of intense legal or political scrutiny.

The idea of using the words "fake news" is not an original idea by Trump even though he likes to take credit for them. The usage dates back to 1890 in a newspaper headline, "Secretary Brunnell Declares Fake News About His People is Being Telegraphed Over the Country."

The use of the word fake creates an "Us vs.Them" narrative by using a simple, repetitive catchphrase that helps solidify a bond with his supporters.

Twisting the meaning of the word fake goes beyond just attacking unfavorable media outlets. Someone can cite a fact or real event, and Trump will call it fake just because he doesn't want to believe it or it's contrary to his lies. 

By framing external watchdogs and traditional press outlets as fundamentally dishonest, Trump creates a narrative where only he can be trusted. 

When his supporters hear the word fake it signals that an attack on Trump is an attack on their shared values, reinforcing loyalty and motivating political engagement.

As it Stands, the good news is the majority of Americans know he's a FAKE president.

Pentagon Pete's Efforts to Degrade the Military Continues

The drunken Fox host who Trump put in charge of the military has set out to reshape the U.S. military by getting rid of the best generals and admirals and downsizing the cyber command for political reasons.

On Wednesday Oct. 30th, Hegseth will hold a State of the Force address laying out more political priorities to a select group of top-performing service members who meet fitness and body-composition requirements and who maintain "impeccable" grooming and uniform standards.

Hegseth's latest efforts to degrade military forces doubles the 10% overall reduction in general and flag officer positions that he ordered last year as part of his ongoing effort to MAGAinize America's armed forces. He's calling the move "less generals, more GIs." 

It's more like less competent leaders, and more zombies groomed like SS shock troops.

From the moment Hegseth took over as Secretary of Defense it was apparent he was going to reshape our military into a weapon for Trump to use in his authoritarian agenda. He made it clear that leaders involved in diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives should leave. There was no longer room in Trump's military for sappy sympathies that sought justice in a system that had been turned inside out.

Blocking promotions is just one of the ways Hegseth has weakening our military readiness. Dozens of officers vetted by military boards have been removed from promotion lists or forced into retirement. Not exactly a smart idea if the goal is to maintain military readiness and competence.

By forcing out, firing, or blocking promotions of over 80 general and flag officers - amounting to roughly 10% of military leadership - the policy has triggered wide-ranging consequences across multiple branches.

Key vacancies have extended to the heads of training programs and leadership for U.S. Army forces stationed in Europe, leaving active-duty operational theaters temporarily under-managed.

Critics and analysts have pointed out that military-led cyber oversight follows changes in 2025 that altered civilian agency structures (such as reductions at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency), leaving military forces to step into a primary coordination and defense role.

With just weeks away until the midterms Hegseth boasted his cyber warriors would protect our elections from foreign intruders. 

So, what happened with that protection when the FBI had ALL of its personnel (3 million employees both civilian and military) records hacked last week by an unknown antagonist? Possibly even by a foreign country.

As it Stands, Hegseth keeps talking about the "warrior ethos" when in fact that's a synonym for MAGA.

Trump: 'After the Midterms Everything is Going to Be Great Again'

According to the convicted felon and sexually abuser currently fouling the White House the war is going to magically end after the midterms.

By pinning the end of the conflict to a specific post-election date, Trump is attempting to shift the narrative from a failing exit strategy to an inevitable victory tied to the electoral calendar.

I know. It's pathetic.

It's going to be like magic after the midterms when gas and diesel prices tumble below historical averages because Trump will make such a deal with Iran the whole world will be in awe and copies of the Art of the Deal will become an international best seller.

It was inconvenient of the Wall Street Journal to warn its readers that the Trump/Epstein war could stretch much longer contradicting the regimes promises.

It's sinister that Trump just rejected a concrete seven-day ceasefire and port-opening proposal brought forward by Iran through international mediators, signaling that hostilities may actually intensify or resume rather than conclude peacefully.

So, what's going on?

Realistically we'll never know what's going on in Trump's demented brain that is increasingly challenged by magical thinking and outright paranoia.

We know Trump is feeling cornered watching the polls heavily favor Democrats who he knows will go after him when they take the House back. His desperation and despair are feebly disguised with a ridulous strong man imitation that looks more like a clown act.

Remember when Trump told Americans the COVID was just going to miraculously go away one day? Whether he believed that or not, he didn't hesitate to try and bullshit everyone.

Nothing has changed since then. 

Trump is attempting to rig this November election like he unsuccessfully tried to do in 2020 by attacking the electoral system on several levels. This time he has more power to twist the arms of justice into a knot.

Although everything points to a Democratic wave in the midterms don't think for a moment that the Republicans couldn't win it by hook or crook.

As it Stands, we need to be clear eyed about the aftermath of this election; even if the Democrats do take back the House (and possibly the Senate) Trump isn't just going to stand down and be a good boy.

Trump Looks for Love in All the Wrong Places

Our deeply unpopular president has always sought love in all of the wrong places. 

From Roy Cohn to Vladimir Putin, Donny has been in a lifelong search for love.

Some say it stems from his childhood upbringing by a KKK-loving father who didn't love him and a mother who couldn't control him.

Whatever the reason is Trump tends to go overboard when seeking affirmation and love from people important to him. The problem is pursuing love from America's greatest enemies in the 21st century is threatening America's national security.

Anyone who witnessed Chinese Communist President Xi's visit here in America could see how far Trump was going to get a little love from the Chinese dictator.

The three-day state visit centered on intense human rights protests, political backlash over lavish optics, an unprecedented White House press ban, and physical altercations on the executive grounds. Members of the traveling Chinese press corps clashed directly with U.S. journalists and secret service personnel.

Blinded to the damage he was inflicting on America citizens and democracy Trump blithely did everything he could to show his undying love for a man who lived like a god in his country. 

Americans were appalled seeing U.S. service members getting down on their hands and knees to manually smooth out the red carpet for one of the most notorious dictators in the world.

Not satisfied with this humiliating display of eternal love Trump banned U.S. journalists from the White House and welcomed the Chinese press proving there weren't any lengths he would not go to demonstrate his devotion.

Trump's desire to be universally loved has led him down dark alleys filled with corrupt politicians and criminals willing to publicly show slavish love and support in return for favors from pardons to financial boons. 

As a malicious narcissist Trump loves himself more than he ever could actually love someone else, but he's locked into looking for universal love to sooth his massive ego.

Unable to make authentic connections in life Trump often resorts to coercion to get people to sing his praises. Intimidation is his way to get cooperation and validation.

As it Stands, true love is priceless. It can't be bought, but Trump keeps trying.
