If Donald Trump had any sanity left, it all went out the window this week after his botched strike against Iran. The administration has scrambled to push a counter-narrative that everyone now knows is a complete farce, and Trump is losing his mind over this fallout. And for once, this isn't just about Trump's ego - it is about the ego of the entire country that took a massive hit this past weekend.

Donald Trump had a full blown meltdown on Wednesday after Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett "mocked" Melania Trump by pointing out that she clearly received a Visa to enter the country that she didn't even qualify for. Trump launched his usual racist attack that he reserves for non-white people, calling Crockett "low IQ" and then suggesting that she run for office with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the rest of the squad. The racial overtones were deafening.

Donald Trump may have lost his most powerful ally in the country, as even Joe Rogan can no longer stay silent about the cruelty and insanity of this administration. On a recent podcast episode, Rogan said that the ICE raids being carried out by this administration are "f***ing nuts," and then suggested that he didn't sign up for this when he voted for Trump. Technically, he did, as many social media users quickly pointed out.

Former Tea Party Republican Congressman Joe Walsh knows what so many other Americans know, and that is that Donald Trump's mental problems are too obvious to ignore. Because of this, Walsh suggested that the administration is engaging in a massive coverup to prevent people from knowing just how bad Trump's mental state really is. This is way worse than anything that we saw with President Biden, and Walsh is likely correct with his analysis.

Donald Trump proudly proclaimed on Monday that he had worked out a ceasefire deal between Israel and Iran, and said that he believes it will last "forever." Forever is never as long as we'd like it to be, and the conflict almost immediately erupted in missile fire. Trump was furious that he was exposed as a bad negotiator, and in a profanity-laden rant to reporters on Tuesday morning, he let the world know that he's losing his mind.

According to a new report, military officials were so worried that Donald Trump was going to run his mouth and screw up their bombing of Iran that they kept some of the plans from him in order to avoid him leaking anything. Their concerns proved to be accurate, as Trump's statements to the media and claims on Truth Social gave Iran enough time to prepare for the strikes, rendering them completely ineffective.

Donald Trump's lofty deportation goals, along with his decision to put cosplay Kristi Noem in charge of the Department of Homeland Security, have caused the agency to basically spend their yearly budget in a matter of months, leaving them bankrupt. ICE is now running on fumes as they travel the country and abduct people off the streets - and their lack of funds may not be such a bad thing.

A Trump supporter in South Florida is whining like a baby after his roofing company was raided by ICE after the agency had been tipped off that the man was employing undocumented migrants. ICE took 5 people into custody, and the man who voted for this is now complaining that he might not be able to replace those workers and he doesn't know how he can complete jobs without them.

Marjorie Taylor Greene went ballistic on Donald Trump over the weekend for his decision to bomb Iran, potentially entering the United States in another Middle Eastern conflict based on lies. Greene went on an epic rant about how the US was never attacked by Iran and how there is no real justification for anything that's happening, clearly telling us that Trump is lying without having to use that language.

A furious Donald Trump launched a verbal assault on Republican Representative Thomas Massie from Kentucky on Sunday, calling him a "pathetic loser" for opposing him on a few issues. Not long after the verbal attack, it was revealed that Trump has launched a new Super PAC with the sole purpose of funding a primary challenger to Massie in next year's midterm elections. This will be a test to see how much sway Trump actually has.

During an interview on Meet The Press over the weekend, Vice President JD Vance attempted to calm Americans' fears about a potential war with Iran by telling us that this was nothing like the lead up to the Iraq War. But his statement didn't leave anyone feeling better, as Vance claimed that the difference was that back then we had leaders who were "dumb." While that may be true, we also have leaders today who are very, very dumb, and Americans know that.

A top political analyst believes that White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is about to hit her breaking point after just 5 months on the job. Salon's Amanda Marcotte said that the signs are there that Leavitt is struggling to keep her head above water, and that a breakdown could potentially come at any minute. This is likely going to happen before the end of the year, but that doesn't mean that we'll be free of Leavitt for good.

An official memo from the Trump administration is directing all would-be federal employees to draft an essay about how much they love Donald Trump as part of the hiring process. The federal government is currently on a hiring freeze that will expire on July 15th, and in order to make sure they only get Trump-loving applicants, they are requiring the essay as part of the process. This is so "Dear Leader" that it would make North Korea blush.

During a press briefing this week, Karoline Leavitt struggled to pronounce a very basic, and very important word MULTIPLE times. As pointed out on BlueSky by Aaron Rupar, Leavitt struggled several times to say "President Trump," and instead it sounded more like "President Chump." The Internet immediately lit up at Leavitt's latest screw up, but Trump probably wasn't laughing.

According to a new report from The Washington Post, Donald Trump's own White House staffers have been "blindsided" by his posts on Truth Social, with some saying that they've been shocked by what they've seen over there. Have these people been living in a cave with no internet for the last 15 years? Everyone knows that this is how Trump operates, but it is also true that his posts are growing even more unhinged than ever before.

During a late night posting spree on Truth Social this week, Donald Trump bizarrely and incorrectly stated that the economy is doing better than ever. This was an obvious lie, but it didn't take long to get thoroughly debunked, as a new economic report was released just hours later showing that the US economy is once again FAILING to meet economic projections and could hit recession status by this summer. Trump can't hide the truth from everyone all the time.

RFK, Jr.'s tenure at Health and Human Services is going from bad to worse, as he was busted AGAIN for putting fake studies in his recent MAHA report after he was supposed to remove them. To make matters worse, an old clip of him getting his butt handed to him on CNN has resurfaced and gone viral this week exposing him for being a massive liar.

Donald Trump clearly believed that he could swagger back into the Oval Office and immediately start bossing around the rest of the world. The many failures that he has racked up since taking office prove that this isn't going to be the case, and he's actually going to have to use intelligence and diplomacy to solve problems. Unfortunately for him, those are two traits that he does not possess, which means it is going to be a very long 4 years. Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

Rather than actually apologizing for her viral clip last week, Republican Senator Joni Ernst doubled down on it over the weekend with a video of herself in a cemetery mocking the people who are worried about the Republican budget bill. This led conservative pollster Sarah Longwell to speculate that Ernst might be suffering a genuine nervous breakdown right now as she continues to deal with the fallout from her flippant comment.

Donald Trump is the only one not laughing about the TACO Trump nickname, and that might not be a good thing for American consumers. If Trump believes that we're all mocking him because he always chickens out, then next time he might keep tariffs in place just to teach us all a lesson. In other words, Trump's ego is hurt and he's going to make everyone else suffer because of it - and he's already working on a plan to do exactly that.

After Donald Trump very mildly attacked Vladimir Putin over the weekend, the Kremlin fired back and accused Trump of being "emotional" and having "emotional reactions" to what's happening around the world. In other words, Putin thinks that Trump is weak and acting like a child with his "emotional" reactions. This is a clear sign that Putin has no intention of giving in to any of Trump's "demands" that he may have for ending the war.

Donald Trump and his Republican allies have been insistent that their budget does NOT call for cuts to Medicaid or other social welfare programs. Unfortunately for them, not everyone is on the same page of talking points, and one of Trump's closest advisers accidentally admitted during an interview that the bill DOES cut Medicaid by $880 billion. In other words, he admitted that everyone in the GOP is lying about the cuts.

Foreign tourism to the United States has dropped by about 10% this year, all because of Donald Trump and his policies. This drop in tourism is projected to cost the economy as much as $23 billion and up to a quarter of a million jobs. Foreigners may not have a say in US elections, but they are certainly voting with their dollars right now.

During his Memorial Day speech in front of families that had lost their loved ones in active duty service, Donald Trump boasted to the crowd that he "has everything." As if that wasn't bad enough, he also managed to make it even worse by saying that God "favors" him. The man is absolutely delusional and dangerous, but he's also the most insensitive person on the planet with a complete lack of empathy for others.

It turns out that making your most incompetent lawyer a US attorney so that she can go after your political enemies wasn't the smartest move. Alina Habba announced criminal charges against Democratic Congresswoman LaMonica McIver this week, but it was revealed at the time of the announcement that the charges hadn't actually been filed yet. It turns out that announcing charges before filing them is a big no-no in the legal world, and her premature move could make the entire prosecution null and void.

Matt Gaetz probably did not expect his career to end up the way that it has. The man who was on the verge of becoming the Attorney General of the United States is now hosting a show that nearly everyone forgot about while also doing paid online ads for an online pharmacy that specializes in prescribing Ivermectin. The ad is about as pathetic as it gets, and so is what's left of Gaetz's career.

The White House formally accepted the $400 million "flying palace" junk airplane from Qatar this week, but not before the truth about the situation finally came out. It turns out that Qatar didn't actually offer him the plane as we were all led to believe - Trump and his associates begged the country to give it to us. The plane had been sitting in storage for more than 5 years as Qatar tried, and failed, to find a buyer for it, but sucker Trump fell in love and begged the country to give it to him.

The Washington Post decided to go out into rural America to talk with farmers who, as a whole, overwhelmingly supported Donald Trump in last year's election. These Trump-voting farmers now fully understand how bad they screwed up, and they say that their hope for Trump has been replaced with despair, frustration, and anger over his policies that are crippling their businesses. They realize they made a mistake, which is a great step forward.

Deutsche Bank, one of Donald Trump's go-to lenders for all of his businesses, warned this week that the US economy is suffering "death by a thousand cuts" from Trump's policies and those of the rest of the Republican Party. All of these small cuts are causing a massive bleed that is sending our economy into a downward spiral, and not a single Republican seems to even care that they are doing this.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. became insanely irate during a Senate hearing this week when Democratic Senator Patty Murray asked him a simple question about who cut the funding for child healthcare programs. Kennedy first tried to blame Biden, then he viciously attacked Murray for doing nothing to stop diseases, and after he was reprimanded by the Chair of the Committee, he sheepishly admitted that his department cut the funding he was trying to deny was cut. The man is way over his head.

Republican governors and the Senators from their red states have resorted to begging Donald Trump's administration for federal assistance after they were ravaged by tornadoes over the last month. So far, the administration has not declared a federal disaster for any of the affected areas, which is preventing any FEMA officials or assistance from being deployed. Again, this is how Trump is treating RED STATES that put him in office - ignoring their cries for help after catastrophe.

Donald Trump told reporters on Tuesday of this week that he doesn't want the "big beautiful bill" that Republicans are working on to benefit Democratic-controlled states because, as Trump put it, those states and the Democrats running them are ruining the country. He also falsely claimed that Red States are the ones making America great again, which is why they should reap all the benefits. The problem is that the Republican bill doesn't help ANY states - Red or Blue - but it does screw over Red States far more thoroughly.
