From 2016-2019, Trump kept the elected GOP in line by fear: fear of a primary defeat, fear of his mob, fear of his allies at Fox and beyond destroying their lives. After 2020, most Members of Congress were either elected as Trump toadies or clones, but the Trump world knows fear is a powerful lever ...

Watching his recent love-in with Hannity, Trump knows his base and knows what they love most: the promise of a violent, revanchist political reset in America. They’ve given up on the democracy he never understood in the first place. Trump is the avatar of their hatreds, their Fox-implanted sense of ...

The bad news continues for Trump who is not immune from prosecution in his election interference case in Washington, a federal judge has ruled, knocking down the Republican's bid to derail the case charging him with plotting to overturn the 2020 presidential election. In Washington on Friday, US Dis...

Trump is still attacking everyone his gag orders are allowing him to attack. Surely, he'll be found guilty in one of his trials before the elections? Trump is becoming more and more desperate. We can only hope that he never becomes president again. Is there anyone out there that is an alternative to...

Trump's now rage is not unlike the style of speeches by the likes of Mussolini or Hitler and the way they could demonise their opponents so effectively directly in front of thousands of supporters. Nasty and narcissistic he's always been, but prior to going political, Trump was not as angry by natur...

That Trump would say what he’s said and done what he’s done is no surprise - he is a profoundly damaged human being, emotionally and psychologically. And he’s been entirely transparent about who he is. The most troubling aspect of this whole troubling drama has been the people in the Republican Part...

Trump’s rhetoric is a permission slip for his supporters to dehumanize others just as he does. He always portrays others as existential threats, determined to destroy everything MAGA world loves about America. Trump is doing two things at once. First, pushing the narrative that his enemies must be d...

Trump's descent towards fascism is a scary and dangerous consequence for the world. Whether we like it or not, the USA, the world's largest economy, holds a leadership position. We may quibble with what that leadership has looked like over the years, but to greater (in the past) and lesser (right no...

Under Trump political narratives, cultural narratives etc. are now almost completely decoupled from reality. His MAGA people can believe what they are inclined to believe and find self-fulfilling echo chambers to validate those beliefs. Reality is sculpted to fit. And in the long run, this will the ...

A mural for a moron:

And that's how it shapes up for the wavering millions of Americans now faced with a difficult choice between an uninspiring octogenarian incumbent and the twice-impeached, four times-indicted former president in his late 70s. Despite facing 91 charges and four criminal trials across four jurisdictio...

Perhaps a criminal conviction could reverse Trump’s primary momentum, but after watching Trump’s Republican approval rating survive every single scandal of his presidency and political career, the idea that anything will shake his Republican support is far more of a hope than an expectation. Until t...

Daddy's little girl, Ivanka echoing a certain Sergeant Schultz, told a New York court she had no role in preparing her father's financial statements, echoing her adult brothers' evidence in the fraud trial that will decide the future of Donald Trump's business empire. Ivanka was an executive vice-pr...

A New York judge threatened to remove delusional Donald from the witness stand as the combative Trump testified in a multimillion-dollar fraud trial that could determine the fate of his real estate empire. Exactly one year until the presidential election, Trump has once again made history by frontin...

Trump has now claimed that he won all 50 states in the 2020 US election at a Florida event where two of his rivals for the Republican presidential primaries were booed for suggesting the party should dump the former president before his legal woes catch up with him. The "world's greatest" ...

Goodall threw about one third of the punches that Efe threw, and the few that landed didn't do any damage.

There's quite a bit of muttering and mumbling out there that Trump will win the presidency and his cronies and enablers are circling the wagons of state increasingly confidently and aggressively to insert their preferred cabinet members, heads of agencies, administrative decision makers and judges, ...

It took less than 24 hours after Judge Arthur Engoron ordered Ivanka Trump to testify in the financial fraud trial swamping the Trump Organization in a Manhattan courtroom for Donald Trump to blow his top and lash out at the jurist. The grifter exploded that the judge was "crazed in his hatred ...

All Trump really wants and why is pushing hard to be re-elected is to pardon himself.

If he gets over the line, both the USA and the rest of the west will take years to recover.

Trump's fixer-turned-foe Michael Cohen has testified he worked to boost the supposed value of the former president's assets to "whatever number Trump told us to" . It was a fraught courtroom showdown that took five years in the making between Trump and the now-disbarred lawyer who once ple...

There was a pug, Fred Leone from Tonga who fought under the monicker, "Aki Puncher" downunder.

From little things, big things grow, and Donald the Spiv was finally hit with $US5,000 fine for violating a gag order barring Trump from disparaging court staff during his civil fraud trial, warning that any future transgressions would bring “far more severe” sanctions including imprisonment. About ...

Hitler did extract considerable leverage from his prison time. I guess Trump could use the time to rough out a follow up to "The Art of the Deal".

Best bout from the card. Very, very close and a draw wouldn't have surprised. Skill and evasion abilities by both was top notch. Kudos to both! In fact, all fights went the distance and were well worth watching, except for that rubbish dished out by Long in the heavyweight 4 rounder. Fancy only thro...

Trump does not have a political campaign. He has a movement. His dramatic, shameless, endless moxie, coupled with his media flair that takes all the oxygen out of the arena, has led his armies to fully embrace his cry: that President Joe Biden and his justice department are prosecuting and persecuti...
