Trump Threatens ‘Sloppy’ Former Pal In Off-The-Rails Sunday Night Rant

Posted on 25/08/2025 by Boris Clair

President Donald Trump on Sunday night fired off a series of messages on social media attacking Senate Democrats, demanding that the Baseball Hall of Fame admit retired pitcher Roger Clemens, and mocking ABC reporter Jonathan Karl’s hair.

And in one of his wilder posts, Trump delivered a not-so-veiled threat to one-time pal Chris Christie, the former New Jersey governor who had criticised him earlier in the day.

“Can anyone believe anything that Sloppy Chris says?” Trump wrote.

During an ABC interview, Christie accused Trump of using the Justice Department as “his personal legal representation” to carry out retribution against political opponents and critics such as former national security advisor John Bolton.

Trump seemed to make Christie’s case for him as he hinted that the former governor could soon find himself on the wrong end of a new investigation into the “Bridgegate” scandal from his time as governor.

“Do you remember the way he lied about the dangerous and deadly closure of the George Washington Bridge in order to stay out of prison,” Trump wrote. “For the sake of JUSTICE, perhaps we should start looking at that very serious situation again? NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW!”

Trump was referring to a 2013 scandal in which members of Christie’s administration closed the lanes in Fort Lee leading to the George Washington Bridge to create a traffic jam, reportedly as revenge against a mayor who did not back Christie’s reelection bid.

When Christie held a press conference denying that his office had been involved, one of his own aides texted to another that he “just flat out lied,” according to court documents released later.

Christie was a Trump rival during the 2016 campaign, but dropped out early and became one of the first major Republican figures to endorse him.

He stayed within Trump’s orbit throughout the campaign and during his first term in office, and was a White House regular:

Christie helped Trump prepare for the presidential debates in both 2016 and 2020. He spent a week in the intensive care unit with COVID-19 that he developed while helping Trump in 2020, later saying it was “inexcusable” that he wasn’t told that Trump had tested positive for the infection and “undeniable” that he got the infection from him.

Trump called him while in the hospital, Christie said, but not entirely to check on his prognosis.

“Are you going to say you got it from me?” Trump asked him, according to Christie’s book.

Christie eventually became a Trump critic.

Bill Maher Revives Prediction Of ‘Slow-Moving Coup’ Amid Trump’s DC Takeover

Posted on 24/08/2025 by Boris Clair

Bill Maher says President Donald Trump might be planning another “slow-moving coup.”

The “Real Time” host on Friday pointed to the federal takeover of Washington, D.C., where Trump deployed the National Guard and federalised local police to combat the purported “bedlam” there, despite violent crime in the city being at a 30-year low.

Maher predicted an attempted power grab during the first Trump administration and has frequently cited the January 6, 2021 Capitol insurrection as evidence ever since. He noted that he’s used the phrase “slow-moving coup” since Trump was first elected in 2016.

“And people were laughing at it, whenever I said he was never going to concede power,” the comedian and political pundit said Friday. “They would say, ‘Oh, you smoke too much pot.’ Well, turned out I was smoking just the right amount of pot.”

Maher went on to argue that these people are actually the ones in a trance.

He said Trump “does this magic trick” by flooding the discourse with humorous trivialities, and handing out pizza to law enforcement or highlighting the assault of an ex-government staffer nicknamed “Big Balls” so “we’re all laughing about what’s going on in D.C.”

“If there was a slow-moving coup, let me just describe some of the steps and you tell me if I’m being paranoid,” said Maher. “First, create a masked police force — get people used to looking at that. Normalise snatching people off the street — get them used to that.”

He continued, “Normalise seeing the National Guard and the military on the street. Then, start talking about crime in the capital, which is basically, you know, has always been a fairly crime-ridden city, [but] this is our nation’s capital — where elections are decided.”

Maher noted that six states have already sent their own National Guard troops to D.C., which “Trump can then federalise,” and warned this “permanent police presence” controlled by a power-hungry administration forebodes potentially historic turmoil.

“So when an election dispute might come up, just hypothetically …” he said half-jokingly.

Trump had staffers hand out pizza Thursday to D.C.'s federalized law enforcement. — Trump had staffers hand out pizza Thursday to D.C.’s federalized law enforcement.

Trump has made numerous comments about potentially running for a third, unconstitutional term. He joked during a high-stakes summit last week with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that a war could give him reason to suspend the 2028 election.

While Maher said Friday that he doesn’t want to be “a big pessimist,” many social media users are slamming him as a hypocrite, as Maher has decried Trump as a potential dictator for years — only to dine with him in March and call Trump “gracious and measured.”

“I’m going to pretend for the rest of the duration that the Democrats do have a chance of winning, and they might win the next election,” Maher said Friday. “I just don’t think they’re ever going to take power, because this is what’s going to happen.

“I think this coup is going to go off a lot smoother than the last one,” he warned.

Trump Seems Very Concerned About The ‘Report Card’ Needed To Get Into Heaven

Posted on 23/08/2025 by Boris Clair

US President Donald Trump spoke about heaven for a second time this week, this time fretting over the type of “report card” one might need to gain entry through the Pearly Gates.

“People of faith, there’s a feeling, they wanna be good, y’know? They get punished if they’re not good, right?” he told radio host Todd Starnes.

He also said – falsely – that non-religious people have no reason to “be good” since they won’t be punished in an afterlife.

“If you’re not a believer, and you believe you go nowhere, what’s the reason to be good, really?” he said. “There has to be some kind of a report card up there someplace, y’know, like ‘let’s go to heaven, let’s get into heaven.’ It’s sort of a beautiful thing.”

Trump also spoke about getting into heaven earlier in the week – and didn’t seem optimistic about his chances.

“I want to try and get to heaven if possible,” Trump confessed during a Fox News interview. “I’m hearing I’m not doing well. I hear I’m really at the bottom of the totem pole.”

Trump said brokering a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine might seal the deal for him.

“If I can get to heaven, this will be one of the reasons,” he said.

But so far, Trump – who last year said he could end the war in 24 hours – hasn’t had much success.

In the new interview, Trump also claimed religion is “coming back” under his administration.

“Religion’s coming back, and religion brings our country together,” he said. “All religions. A lot of religions. I mean, some I could question, I guess, to be honest with you, a little rough philosophy there. But religion brings our country together and it’s a great thing.”

Trump Makes Awkward U-Turn After Failed Ceasefire Talks With Zelenskyy And Putin

Posted on 21/08/2025 by Boris Clair

After his highly criticised Alaska summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin ended without reaching a ceasefire agreement in the war in Ukraine, President Donald Trump now says he thinks it would be “better” if Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met without him.

Speaking on Wednesday on “The Mark Levin Show,” Trump made the statement despite claiming to conservative podcaster Mark Levin that he had “very successful” exchanges with both leaders.

“I had a very successful meeting with President Putin. I had a very successful meeting with President Zelenskyy. And now I thought it would be better if they met without me, just to see. I want to see what goes on. You know, they had a hard relationship, very bad, very bad relationship,” Trump said.

He continued, “And now we’ll see how they do and, if necessary, and it probably would be, but if necessary, I’ll go and I’ll probably be able to get it close.”

Trump went on to say that “they’re in the process of setting it up and we’re gonna see what happens,” adding, “But you gotta stop the killing, Mark, it’s too much killing.”

The president then said, “Nobody from America is being killed” in the war.

“United States soldiers aren’t involved,” he told Levin. “We have no boots on the ground, but when you lose 6,000, 5,000, 7,000 young people, and then you also lose some people from the towns and cities as missiles get lobbed into them, can you imagine living like that?”

Trump, who had a follow-up meeting with Zelenskyy and top European leaders in the Oval Office on Monday after Friday’s summit with Putin, made the comments after he announced plans to coordinate a summit between Putin and Zelenskyy in a bid to end the more-than-three-year war in Ukraine.

In a Truth Social post on Monday, Trump said he would also plan a trilateral meeting, in which he would take part, as a follow-up to a potential Putin and Zelenskyy meeting.

“At the conclusion of the meetings, I called President Putin, and began the arrangements for a meeting, at a location to be determined, between President Putin and President Zelenskyy,” Trump wrote. “After that meeting takes place, we will have a Trilat, which would be the two Presidents, plus myself.”

Rock Star Calls Trump ‘A Danger’ To ‘The Entire World’ In Fiery Instagram Post

Posted on 21/08/2025 by Boris Clair

Rock star Jack White continued his social media campaign against President Donald Trump on Wednesday with a fiery Instagram post.

The White Stripes guitarist made a post featuring various photos and videos of sketchy things Trump has done while president, including selling Bibles and gold shoes. It also included a scorched-earth critique of Trump as a leader.

“I was raised to believe that we defeated fascism in World War II and that we would never allow it again in the world,” White began the post, while admitting that he doesn’t always state his political opinions publicly or “know all of the facts.”

However, he said when it comes to “this man and this administration I’m not going to be like one of the silent minority of 1930′s Germany.”

White then declared Trump to be “a danger to not just America but the entire world and that’s not an exaggeration.”

White also pointed out that Trump is “dismantling democracy and endangering the planet on a daily basis, and we. all. know. it,” before ending the post with this quote from President Theodore Roosevelt:

“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”

You can see the post as it appeared on social media below:

White’s latest post came a few hours after White House Communications Director Steven Cheung lashed out at the musician for a previous Instagram post where he criticised the president for turning the White House into “a vulgar, gold leafed and gaudy, professional wrestler’s dressing room.”

Cheung was so angered about White’s post that he referred to the 12-time Grammy winner and soon-to-be member of the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame as “a washed-up, has-been loser posting drivel on social media because he clearly has ample time on his hands due to his stalled career.”

White didn’t refer to Cheung in the post, but considering how testily the White House aide reacted to a basic style critique, it’s likely he will be even more miffed to see the post’s accusation that Trump is “dismantling democracy and endangering the planet on a daily basis.”

Trump Has Middle-Of-The-Night Meltdown Over Critics Of His Failed Putin Summit

Posted on 19/08/2025 by Boris Clair

President Donald Trump lashed out at the criticism he’s faced for his Alaska summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin last week, which failed to result in a ceasefire in the war in Ukraine.

“The Fake News has been saying for 3 days that I suffered a ‘major defeat’ by allowing President Vladimir Putin of Russia to have a major Summit in the United States,” Trump wrote on Sunday evening in a Truth Social post that did not mention the outcome of the summit. “Actually, he would have loved doing the meeting anywhere else but the US, and the Fake News knows this. It was a major point of contention!”

Trump argued that his critics wouldn’t have been pleased even “if we had the Summit elsewhere” because “the Democrat run and controlled media would have said what a terrible thing THAT was.”

Claiming “these people are sick,” Trump transitioned into boasting about improving the crime in Washington, DC, and his efforts to “secure [the] Southern Border.”

“They even want CRIME IN D.C., and other BLUE Cities throughout our Country, but don’t worry, I won’t let that happen. Just like our now secure Southern Border (ZERO illegals in last 3 months!), our cities will be Secure and Safe, and D.C. will lead the way!”

The president followed up his lengthy comments by attacking Senator Chris Murphy (Democrat, Connecticut), who had slammed the Trump-Putin summit as an “embarrassment to the United States” Sunday while appearing on NBC’s Meet the Press.

“The very unattractive (both inside and out!) Senator from Connecticut, Chris Murphy, said ‘Putin got everything that he wanted.’ Actually, ‘nobody got anything,’ too soon, but getting close,” Trump wrote in a separate Truth Social post Sunday. “Murphy is a lightweight who thinks it made the Russian President look good in coming to America. Actually, it was very hard for President Putin to do so.”

Wrapping up his post, Trump also called out his former national security adviser John Bolton, who told CNN that Putin had “won the summit” over a “tired” Trump.

“This war can be ended, NOW, but stupid people like Chris Murphy, John Bolton, and others, make it much harder to do so,” Trump added.

U.S. President Donald Trump welcomes Russian President Vladimir Putin to Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson on Aug. 15, 2025, in Anchorage, Alaska.

Just minutes later, Trump directed his attention to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, arguing that Zelenskyy could “end the war with Russia almost immediately if he wants to.” He then bashed former President Barack Obama.

“President Zelenskyy of Ukraine can end the war with Russia almost immediately, if he wants to, or he can continue to fight,” Trump wrote. “Remember how it started. No getting back Obama given Crimea (12 years ago, without a shot being fired!), and NO GOING INTO NATO BY UKRAINE. Some things never change!!!”

Trump’s slew of pointed posts aimed at his opponents didn’t stop there.

Just hours before he was scheduled to host Zelenskyy at the White House, Trump railed against “badly failing Radical Left Democrats.”

“I am totally convinced that if Russia raised their hands and said, ‘We give up, we concede, we surrender, we will GIVE Ukraine and the great United States of America, the most revered, respected, and powerful of all countries, EVER, Moscow and St. Petersburg, and everything surrounding them for a thousand miles, the Fake News Media and their Democrat Partners would say that this was a bad and humiliating day for Donald J. Trump, one of the worst days in the history of our Country,’” Trump wrote in a Monday Truth Social post.

He added: “But that’s why they are the FAKE NEWS, and the badly failing Radical Left Democrats. Thank you for your attention to this matter!!!”

Minutes later, Trump claimed in a post that the “Russia/Ukraine MESS” is “Sleepy Joe Biden’s war, not mine,” adding, “ I’m only here to stop it, not to prosecute it any further. It would have NEVER happened if I was President.”

Elsewhere in the post, Trump claimed that The Wall Street Journal and “many other” news outlets “don’t have a clue” about the number of conflicts he’s resolved since his second term began.

“I’ve settled 6 Wars in 6 months, one of them a possible Nuclear disaster, and yet I have to read & listen to the Wall Street Journal, and many other who truly don’t have a clue, tell me everything that I am doing wrong…”

Trump’s meeting with Zelenskyy in the Oval Office on Monday marks the Ukrainian leader’s first White House visit since the two had a highly contentious meeting in February.

Meanwhile, Zelenskyy praised Trump’s strength in a post on X, formerly Twitter, on Monday morning ahead of their meeting.

“We discussed the battlefield situation and our strong diplomatic capabilities – Ukraine’s and all of Europe’s together with America,” he wrote. “Russia can only be forced into peace through strength, and President Trump has that strength. We have to do everything right to make peace happen. Thank you!”

‘You Like This Idea’: Trump Jokes About Cancelling 2028 Elections To Fight War

Posted on 19/08/2025 by Boris Clair

As President Donald Trump sat down Monday with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to discuss bringing an end to Russia’s three-year war, he was confronted with the fact that Ukraine has not been able to hold elections amid the brutal fighting.

Zelenskyy had fielded a question from a reporter on whether he would be open to elections upon reaching a peace agreement.

“Yes, of course,” the Ukrainian leader said, noting that the government would need to ensure the polls would be safe and secure.

Trump then jumped in: “So, you’re saying, during the war you can’t have elections. So let me just say, 3 and a half years from now, so, you mean if we happen to be in a war with somebody, no more elections.”

“Oh, that’s good. I wonder what the fake news would say,” Trump added.

The comment, making light of the American tradition of a peaceful transfer of power, elicited some chuckles from those gathered in the packed Oval Office.

“You like this idea,” Zelenskyy responded with a laugh.

The Ukrainian president has remained in power despite his term having expired last year because the country declared martial law upon Russia’s 2022 invasion. While public support for Zelenskyy has dropped over the years of the conflict, however, there is little doubt in Ukraine that he remains the legitimate president during wartime.

Trump’s remark was likely to raise some eyebrows because his disdain for US election law — and apparent desire for an unconstitutional third term — is already so well-documented.

Trump insisted back in March that he was “not joking” about the possibility of serving as president a third time, claiming that “a lot of people” wanted him to do so. Emil Bove, whom Trump chose to sit on a federal appellate court, refused to rule out the possibility of a third Trump term during congressional questioning.

Representative Andy Ogles (Republican, Tennessee), a die-hard Trump ally, floated the idea just over the weekend.

Trump also still falsely insists he was the true winner of the 2020 presidential election, refusing to consider the total lack of evidence, although he seems to have come to terms with it after his 2024 victory meant he will be president during such high-profile events as the 2026 Olympics and the nation’s 250th anniversary.

Earlier Monday, he took aim at the validity of mail-in ballots and electronic voting machines, potentially opening the door to voter suppression tactics that could disproportionately affect his political opponents.

Trump Piles Pressure On Zelenskyy To End The War Putin Started In Bizarre Truth Social Rant

Posted on 18/08/2025 by Boris Clair

Donald Trump has piled pressure on Volodymyr Zelenskyy to end the war in Ukraine – even though it was started by Russia’s invasion of his country more than three years ago.

In a bizarre rant on his Truth Social platform, the US president said the Ukrainian leader “can end the war with Russia almost immediately if he wants to”.

Trump said Ukraine must give up any hope of regaining Crimea, which was annexed by Russia in 2014, and said Kyiv should also give up on its ambition of joining Nato.

His tirade came as he prepares to meet Zelenskyy in the White House later today.

The last time the pair met in the Oval Office six months ago, the Ukrainian president was ambushed by both Trump and his deputy, JD Vance.

Trump’s comments will be warmly welcomed by Vladimir Putin, who held talks with his American counterpart in Alaska on Friday.

Russia is vehemently opposed to Ukraine’s aim of becoming a Nato member.

Putin told Trump that he wants Ukraine to give up the Donbas region of Ukraine as the price of any peace deal.

According to the Reuters news agency, that would see Kyiv fully withdraw from the eastern Donetsk and Luhansk regions in return for a Russian pledge to freeze the front lines in the southern regions of Kherson and Zaporizhzhia.

Trump said after the summit that he and Putin “has largely agreed” on land transfers and security guarantees for Ukraine.

In another win for the Russian president, Trump also U-turned on his previous calls for a ceasefire in the war before a full-blown peace deal.

But speaking in Brussels on Sunday, Zelenskyy said that was unacceptable.

He said: “We have to stop the killing. Putin has many demands, but we do not know all of them, and if there are really as many as we hear, then it will take time to go through them all.

“It’s impossible to do this under the pressure of weapons, so it’s necessary to ceasefire and work quickly on a final deal. Putin does not want to stop the killing, but he must do it.”

On Russian demands for Ukrainian territory, Zelenskyy said: “The constitution of Ukraine makes it impossible to give up territory or trade land. ”

Trump Writes Post About Moscow That’s Absurd Even For Him

Posted on 17/08/2025 by Boris Clair

President Donald Trump on Sunday really reached to criticise outlets for their coverage of his peace talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“If I got Russia to give up Moscow as part of the Deal, the Fake News, and their PARTNER, the Radical Left Democrats, would say I made a terrible mistake and a very bad deal,” he wrote on Truth Social. “That’s why they are the FAKE NEWS!”

Trump also said on Truth Social Sunday that an announcement on “BIG PROGRESS” in the negotiations was forthcoming, but some observers were still cracking wise over his sarcastic Moscow gripe.

Trump Hints He Will Reward Putin’s Invasion By Demanding Ukraine Give Up Land

Posted on 12/08/2025 by Boris Clair

President Donald Trump hinted he would demand that Ukraine give up territory seized by Russian dictator Vladimir Putin during his three-year invasion and once again blamed Volodymyr Zelenskyy for getting invaded.

“I get along with Zelenskyy, but, you know, I disagree with what he’s done, very, very severely disagree. This is a war that should have never happened,” Trump said at a White House press conference of Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and his recent statement that he cannot legally cede territory.

“I was a little bothered by the fact that Zelenskyy was saying, ‘Well, I have to get constitutional approval,’” Trump said. “I mean, he’s got approval to go into war and kill everybody, but he needs approval to do a land swap because there will be some land-swapping going on.”

Trump announced last week he would host a meeting with Putin in Alaska to broker a peace agreement, and his comments to reporters Monday are the most detailed about his view of what needs to happen to persuade Putin to end the war.

His insinuation that Zelenskyy was somehow to blame for Putin’s invasion was a repeat of his attacks on the Ukrainian president during his Oval Office visit in February.

“What you’re doing is very disrespectful to the country, this country,” Trump told Zelenskyy then. “You’re not winning this. You have a damn good chance of coming out OK because of us.”

Six weeks later, Trump outright blamed Zelenskyy for starting the war. “You don’t start a war with someone 20 times your size and then hope people give you some missiles,” he said in an Oval Office photo opportunity with Salvadoran president Nayib Bukele.

Trump called the coming summit a “feel-out meeting” and that he would afterward call Zelenskky and America’s NATO allies in Europe, who have since the 2022 invasion been eager to counter Russia and help Ukraine and even more so since Trump returned to office in January.

He added that his discussions with Russia and others led to his belief that Ukraine would have to give away land to end the war. “I know that through Russia and through conversations with everybody,” Trump said.

Trump’s special envoy, his friend from New York real estate days Steve Witkoff, met with Putin last week and apparently misunderstood what Putin was saying. Witkoff reported back that Putin was willing to give up two Ukrainian regions and keep a third, when in fact Putin’s offer was to hang on to all three in return for stopping his attacks.

Trump on Monday also repeated his lie that the US under former President Joe Biden had given far more help to Ukraine than had Western Europe. “Biden approved $350 billion. Europe has spent $100 billion,” he said.

In reality, Europe has provided more assistance to Ukraine from the start, both in weapons and economic help.

Trump is scheduled to go to Alaska on Friday for his meeting with Putin, his first such summit with him since 2018, when in Helsinki he said he took the word of the former KGB agent over his own intelligence agencies about Russia’s work to help Trump win the 2016 election.

On Monday, though, Trump, who is 79, twice conflated Alaska with Russia itself. Alaska has belonged to the United States since 1867, when it was purchased from Russia, then under the rule of Czar Alexander II.

“I’m going to Russia on Friday,” Trump said, explaining his coming trip. An hour later, preparing to leave the podium, he said it again: “We’re going to Russia.”
