Trump Estrangement Syndrome Strikes

Original Article

Posted By: Judy W., 4/21/2026 6:52:04 AM

One of the most stunning and yet tediously repetitive features of America’s Donald Trump Experience is the expectation that President Donald Trump is going to become someone else. People across the political spectrum seem permanently immune to the realization that the country has elected a man who says and does extraordinarily shocking things. With metronomic consistency, they exclaim, “Can you believe what he said? He’s just completely nuts! Where’s my 25th Amendment?” (Snip) Over the course of two terms, Trump has altered the course of U.S. history, diverting and even reversing leftist agendas that seemed hopelessly unstoppable.

I haven't heard him say anything "extraordinarily shocking". He says it like it is. The pundit class and the left simply can't handle reality.

I daid the same things when clinton bush hussien biden and obiden were in office! All of them were some of the most un-American presidents this country has “elected!” All the absolutely stupid things that came out of Biden’s mouth were never challenged by the media. The media covered for them by explaining what he meant to say. Where was the 25th amendment when Hussien sent a shiff load of money to a country that is out to destroy America. The media must believe Iran was put to kill everyone but them! Only thing I can believe is all these so called Americans that are pushing socialism in this country are getting paid or they think it won’t affect them. I just don’t get. We would lose freedom.

When I heard Obama say he was going to fundamentally transform the country after earlier saying he would cause energy prices to “necessarily skyrocket” and Time magazine put him on the cover with a halo over his head I was more bothered than by anything Trump has said or done. When Clinton abused women and perjured himself I was more bothered. Beta males and feminazis hate men who unapologetically lead and Trump is a claw and fang, level-eyed leader.

Sorry, but I found this a reassuring, and extraordinarily even-handed piece. Great men have great passions. Tepid men have tepid passions. Vegetables like ice cream.

Sounds to me that the writer is shocked America has changed course against "irresistible" liberal policies. They should thank Donald. We the people were ready to end those irresistible policies another, more vicious, way.

The French "chattering class" thought Napoleon was crazy and unable of understanding the "nuance" of foreign policy negotiations, but after crowning himself Emperor, with nary a "nay" from among those assembled, he went on to provide France with the most military victories and socio-political achievements of any French sovereign's reign in history. The only "mistake" Napoleon made was in not knowing when "greatest" was already good enough.

If ever a President deserved three terms... words that would drive the average leftist bonkers but he did win three elections. My admiration of him grows every time I realize that he doesn't have to be doing what he does, he could be relaxing on a yacht in the tropics beside his beautiful wife and watching the flying fish in front of him.

What Do Immigrants Owe Us? 3 replies

We keep hearing it, over and over again, about how we Americans are somehow morally obligated to aliens – illegal or otherwise. About how we Americans are obligated to allow them into our country without our permission, and once they’re here, to not only subsidize them but to validate the garbage cultures that they came from and now insist on replanting in our sacred soil. But there’s a question that we need to start asking, particularly Republican politicians, whenever the subject of immigration arises. (Snip) No, when we’re talking about immigration, we need to ask a very simple question and demand an answer. What do immigrants owe us?

Well, it’s another glorious day, or something. President Donald Trump’s threats against the Islamic Republic of Iran have apparently worked, a “ceasefire” has been concluded, and as he did when he forced Israel to stop fighting Hamas when it had a chance to destroy the jihad terror group once and for all, Trump is once again hailing the dawn of peace in the Middle East: (Snip) The Islamic Republic of Iran was likewise in a celebratory mood, and in its joyful exuberance, fired off a round or two of celebratory missiles and drones into Israel and the Sunni states that it has targeted since the beginning of this conflict.

A viral clip is making the rounds showing Christopher Hitchens, who passed away in 2011, giving a talk in 2005. (Snip)In it, he discusses the Barbary slave trade that captured an estimated 1.5 million Europeans and Americans over several hundred years. (Snip)all of this has been driven by religious imperatives and duties written into the Koran. That is reality, not “Islamophobia,” a word the left recently invented to protect their radical Islamist allies in the West. The threat of destruction from radical Islamists, as we term them today, has always been real and as imminent as their abilities allow.

Oh no, the America First/MAGA coalition is completely falling apart because--and I want to make sure I’ve got this correct–Donald Trump has systematically destroyed a bunch of Third World semi-human pagan savages who have been murdering Americans for nearly 50 years before they could top a missile with a hot rock and nuke Philadelphia. Yeah, the coalition is gravely disappointed–but not in Trump. It’s disappointed that a small component of his coalition that, for reasons that remain elusive and probably involve extreme greed, a psychotic break, gross stupidity, and/or libertarianism,(Snip)has decided to adopt views that are functionally identical to those of the damn communists.

One of the things I’ve been tracking here and on my show on NewsNation is the polling on Operation Epic Fury, President Trump’s war on Iran’s nuclear and ballistic capabilities (Snip). The war doesn’t have majority support, of course; the Democrats are too addled by TDS. Well, the polls—many of them—suggest his base doesn’t agree. As I’ve pointed out repeatedly, there is no MAGA split on the war in Iran, or if there is, it’s the split between 90% of the base and the influencers who pretend to influence them. Here’s an updated tally of all the polls I could find on how Trump voters feel about

The theft of the 2020, 2022 and 2024 elections has moved to the Grand Jury stage, probable cause established and records seized in Maricopa and Fulton Counties.

(Snip)Thune has, grindingly, consented to refer the Save Act to a vote, possibly next week. Thune is, like most elected Republicans, pretendian MAGA counting the days when he can go back to playing defence and lining his pockets.

Western sources, always careful not to offend, describe Ramadan as “a month of intense spiritual renewal, focused on devotion.” In contrast, Islamic sources and clerics instruct devout Muslims to view it as a time for jihad, conquest, and martyrdom. (Snip) In fact, the common belief is that the call to wage jihad intensifies during Ramadan and that the divine reward for martyrdom during the daylight fasting month is greater. Therefore, it is troubling that government offices, military bases, public schools, and many corporate-run businesses across America celebrate Ramadan, and have been doing so for decades. This persists even though the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment prohibits favoring one religion

So it was the end of Ramadan yesterday or early this morning. I didn’t to know this. I don’t care about this. My position is that if people want to not eat during daylight hours because a psychopathic 7th century bandit and child rapist thought that was a good idea, or because imams subsequent to Mohammed have done so, it’s their primitive business and not a particular concern of mine. But I don’t get a choice about whether I engage with this nonsense. In Britain, it’s obligatory for our rulers to tell us how much they respect bullshit, so long as the bullshit in question is Communist or Muslim.

For decades, the American Left’s loudest voices on women’s issues styled themselves as fearless guardians of peace and equality. They chained themselves to fences at nuclear bases, waved “No Nukes” signs during the Reagan years, and lectured the rest of us about the patriarchy while demanding the Equal Rights Amendment and unfettered abortion. Jane Fonda, the original celebrity activist, was at the forefront—Vietnam-era traitor turned fitness-video feminist turned Trump-hating scold. Then Donald Trump happened. The moment Trump descended the golden escalator in 2015, something snapped. (Snip) Their feminism didn’t evolve; it mutated into a cult of anti-Trumpism so total that it now requires them to defend the indefensible.

While audiences are eagerly awaiting broadcast of the conversation between U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee and Tucker Carlson, the podcaster has already scored a decisive win. Carlson and his team leaked to a friendly reporter that after the interview with Huckabee at Ben Gurion Airport, Israeli airport authorities detained and harassed them. (Snip) Not true, explained embassy staff and airport officials. The American media celebrity wasn’t detained, and the questions asked of him and his team in the airport’s VIP lounge were routine. On Thursday, video of Carlson posing for photographs with airport staff surfaced, evidence that he’d fabricated his account.

This Screaming Match Between Greg Gutfeld

Greg Gutfeld absolutely destroyed Jessica Tarlov on The Five on Thursday, and boy did things get crazy. It was the kind of television that makes you put down your phone and actually pay attention. The two went back and forth, screaming at each other over the question of whether the American right-wing threat narrative has always been overblown, ginned up, or an outright fabrication. And boy did Gutfeld come in swinging… and he never really stopped, either. It started when Tarlov pushed back on Gutfeld's characterization of hate crime hoaxes, demanding examples. Gutfeld was ready.

This forecast does not look good. Archaeologists might need to locate Noah’s lost ark sooner than we think. By 2085, over a third of all land animals’ habitats could be adversely impacted by extreme weather events such as fires and floods, should temperatures continue to surge worldwide, per an alarming study in the journal Nature Ecology and Evolution. If we don’t reverse course, this “Day After Tomorrow”-esque confluence of events could potentially expedite extinctions.
Virginia Senator Says He Can Relate To

A Virginia state senator told colleagues he understands rural America because he grew up watching “The Dukes of Hazzard.” Democratic state Sen. Lamont Bagby made the claim during a floor debate on the state’s gerrymandering amendment, according to video posted by WJLA reporter Nick Minock. Bagby pushed back on Republicans who argued Democrats have no grasp of rural life. “I grew up watching the Waltons. I grew up with Opie. I even watched the Dukes of Hazzard. I think I know a little bit about rural America,” Bagby said, apparently referencing “The Waltons” and “The Andy Griffith Show” alongside the hit CBS series. He then rattled off characters from

The Southern Poverty Law Center scandal is reverberating everywhere today. We always knew the SPLC was a fraud perpetrated for the benefit of the Democratic Party, but I, for one, never imagined that it was actually funding the organizations that it excoriated. But with hindsight, it makes sense: the SPLC needed to keep alive absurd groups like the Ku Klux Klan to keep the money coming in, so that it could smear completely innocent organizations like Turning Point USA, Coral Ridge Ministries, the David Horowitz Freedom Center and the Family Research Council, which was its true purpose. This is what makes the claim of SPLC’s defenders that

Joe Biden has told his absurd Charlottesville story so many times that it has become folklore. He has framed a 2017 rally in Virginia as a moral turning point and the moment that supposedly compelled him to step in and “save” the country, and run for president in 2020. Biden’s claim was emotionally effective — even if difficult to believe — which is exactly why it has been repeated so often. But the narrative is even more laughable when you juxtapose it with what the Department of Justice is now alleging.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — Millions more Americans might qualify for dual Canadian citizenship under a recent change to Canada’s requirements that has led to a surge in applications from its southern neighbor. For people like Zack Loud of Farmington, Minnesota, it was a surprise to learn that under a new law, Canada already considered him and his siblings citizens because their grandmother is Canadian. “My wife and I were already talking about potentially looking at jobs outside the country, but citizenship pushed Canada way up on our list,” he said.

Now that the Southern Poverty Law Center is being exposed, it is important to look back at some of the outrageous claims made by this group in the past. It is absolutely amazing to think that in 2015, they put Dr. Ben Carson on an ‘extremist’ list. Is ‘extremist’ one of the words that comes into your mind when you think of Carson? Perhaps when they targeted one of the most renowned and highly respected pediatric brain surgeons in the entire country in this way, it was a clue that they were not operating in good faith. They were eventually forced to take Carson off the list and then apologized…

Big-name donors to the Southern Poverty Law Center, including George Clooney and George Soros, have stayed silent amid allegations that the nonprofit funneled more than $3 million to the hate groups it claimed to fight.

Democrats and their ideological allies really do hate America. Earlier this week, Democrat Senator Chris Murphy highlighted a disputed news story claiming that a shadow fleet of several dozen Iranian vessels had successfully eluded the U.S. Navy’s blockade near the Strait of Hormuz. Above what appears to have been Iranian propaganda, Murphy wrote one word: “Awesome.” How much does a Democrat senator have to hate the country he putatively represents to root for a foreign enemy presently engaged in battle with the United States? Murphy’s choice to side with Iran’s Islamic terrorists over American servicemembers should surprise no-one.

Iran Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei hasn’t released an audio or video message since assuming power because his face was badly burned in Israeli airstrikes on Feb, 28, according to a report — as President Trump says peace talks are inhibited by a lack of clear leadership in Tehran. Khamenei, 56, “does not want to appear vulnerable or sound weak,” four Iranian officials told the New York Times, adding that one of the ayatollah’s legs has been “operated on three times, and he is awaiting a prosthetic,” while he also has had surgery on one of his hands. “His face and lips have been burned severely,
