In true clownworld fashion, President Con Job watches Fox News propaganda to stay informed and make decisions about the country he's running, leading to things like this.
“Riots Raging”: The Misleading Story Fox News Told About Portland Before Trump Sent Troops
https://archive.ph/TSYGt
(Summary: Fox News played footage from 2020 protests and claimed they were from 2025, which is likely why Trump thought Portland was “burning down” and sent in troops.)
Quote:After reviewing coverage from the network and hours of social media videos that preceded Trump’s decision, ProPublica found that Fox’s portrayal of “Portland rioters” routinely instigating violence was misleading.
When President Donald Trump told reporters on Sept. 5 he’d started looking at sending the National Guard to Portland, Oregon, he said it was because of something he saw on television.
He said the city was being destroyed by paid agitators. “What they’ve done to that place, it’s like living in hell,” he said, a comment that became an internet meme as some Portland residents juxtaposed it with tranquil images of the city.
Trump didn’t say which channel he watched; he said at one point he saw something “today” and at another “last night.”
The evening before, on Sept. 4, Fox News aired a two-and-a-half-minute segment spotlighting protests outside a federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement field office in Portland. Similar footage aired the morning of Trump’s remarks. The president went on to announce Sept. 27 on Truth Social that he would send troops, saying that he was “authorizing Full Force, if necessary.”
He later said he’d told Oregon’s governor, Tina Kotek, that “unless they’re playing false tapes, this looked like World War II. Your place is burning down.”
ProPublica examined months of Fox News’ coverage and reviewed more than 700 video clips posted to social media by protesters, counterprotesters and others in the three months preceding the Sept. 4 broadcast.
The review found that the news network repeatedly provided a misleading picture of what was happening in Portland.
As The Guardian and The Oregonian/OregonLive have reported, Fox News on Sept. 4 used footage from the 2020 protests after the police killing of George Floyd and said it was from 2025. We found two clear cases from that night as well as one that seemed to match a scene filmed at a key site of the 2020 protests. Fox also mislabeled two other dates of actions shown on screen, and one broadcast implied that a protest from elsewhere was happening in Portland...
Fox News Said It Was 2025. It Wasn’t.
Protests in 2020 in the wake of Floyd’s murder by a police officer attracted large, sometimes violent crowds to Portland — along with a federal law enforcement response authorized by Trump.
The protests outside the ICE facility have typically been far smaller. Still, Fox spliced footage from 2020 into its coverage this year and claimed it was from 2025...
We don’t know for certain which broadcast got Trump thinking about Portland. The White House did not respond to questions about what Trump watched. But the president said on Sept. 5 that what he’d seen about Portland on TV was “unbelievable.”
“I didn’t know that was still going on,” he said. “This has been going on for years.”
The reality: Portland’s 2020 social justice protests, which resulted in hundreds of arrests and continued for months, turned sporadic by early 2021. Protests in years since have led to occasional property damage, but nothing in Portland has matched the scale of events that followed Floyd’s death.
Portland police Chief Bob Day said at a Sept. 29 press conference that the city had been inaccurately portrayed through the lens of the protests in 2020 and 2021.
“What’s actually happening, and the response we’re seeing both from Portlanders and from the Portland Police Bureau,” Day said, “is not in line with that national narrative. And it is frustrating.”

MAGA "journalists," including pedophile Matt Gaetz, far-right conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer, and social media influencers, have replaced mainstream media outlets reporting from the Pentagon.

Quote:Right-wing media figures Laura Loomer and former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) were among members of the press who sat for a rare briefing with Pentagon press secretary Kingsley Wilson on Tuesday...
Earlier this fall, the Pentagon announced a major revamp of operating procedures for press covering the department, asking reporters to sign a restrictive press policy and sparking a mass exodus of mainstream media outlets from the building.
The Trump administration responded by credentialing a number of right-wing and MAGA-friendly figures, some of which have not covered press conferences in person previously.

Trump continues abusing his pardoning power, and publicly admits his corruption. He pardoned Democrat Henry Cuellar, then had a meltdown after Cuellar announced he was still running for Congress as a Democrat and called him disloyal because the pardon was meant to be a bribe.

On Truth Social on Wednesday, Trump accused the Biden administration of targeting Cuellar, even though he is a Democrat, due to the lawmaker’s position on immigration.

Quote:Texas Rep. Henry Cuellar filed for reelection Wednesday as a Democrat and told reporters he had no intention to retire or switch parties hours after President Donald Trump announced pardons for him and his wife.
“It came as a surprise,” Cuellar told a small group of reporters about the pardon. “I want to thank President Trump for this. … Now we clear the air. Nothing has changed, and we’re going to be ready to win re-election again.”
"Such a lack of LOYALTY"

Trump wasn't awarded a Nobel Peace Prize, and he's been trying to get recognition as a world leader of peace in whatever ways he can.
Trump renames the US Institute of Peace after himself while his administration wrestles for control of the agency
https://archive.ph/VcTPg
Quote:President Donald Trump’s administration has rebranded the U.S. Institute of Peace to include his own name — after seizing control of the agency and slashing its funding.
On Wednesday, the State Department announced that the institute, a non-profit independent think tank, had been renamed the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace in order “to reflect the greatest dealmaker in our nation's history.”...
While financed by Congress, the institute operates independently and owns its headquarters, according to CNN.
And he already illegally used federal funding to put his dictator face banners on the Department of Agriculture, which I think got removed, and the Department of Labor, which is still there.

FIFA created a peace prize for Trump, which the clown also put on himself.
Trump finally got his peace prize—from a soccer federation widely known for corruption
https://archive.ph/aLArS
Quote:President Donald Trump was awarded the new FIFA peace prize on Friday at the 2026 World Cup draw — giving the spectacle to set matchups for the quadrennial soccer tournament even more of a Trumpian flair...
Trump, who has openly campaigned for the Nobel Peace Prize, had been heavily expected to receive the newly created FIFA prize...
Infantino also presented Trump with a gold trophy with his name on it that depicts hands holding up the world. “You definitely deserve the first FIFA Peace Prize for your action, for what you have obtained in your way,” Infantino said...
Infantino has often spoken about soccer as a unifier for the world, but the prize is a departure from the federation’s traditional focus on sport.
FIFA has given no details about the process for choosing a winner. When Infantino first announced last month that the organization would give out a peace prize, some of its senior officials were caught off guard, learning about it through reports in the media.
Like a scene out of North Korea.

State Department to deny visas to fact checkers and others, citing 'censorship'

Quote:The State Department is instructing its staff to reject visa applications from people who worked on fact-checking, content moderation or other activities the Trump administration considers "censorship" of Americans' speech...
First Amendment experts criticized the memo's guidance as itself a potential violation of free speech rights.
"People who study misinformation and work on content-moderation teams aren't engaged in 'censorship'— they're engaged in activities that the First Amendment was designed to protect. This policy is incoherent and unconstitutional," said Carrie DeCell, senior staff attorney and legislative advisor at the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University, in a statement.

NATO Ally Says Trump’s US Poses Security Threat
https://archive.ph/VtmY9
Quote:Denmark has for the first time identified the United States as one of the security threats facing the country in an annual risk assessment published on Wednesday.
The report, from the Danish Defence Intelligence Service (DDIS), revealed that the U.S. is "now using its economic and technological strength as an instrument of power, including toward allies and partners."
The report also concluded that uncertainty over U.S.'s security role in Europe was likely to spur Russia to intensify its hybrid attacks against NATO members, which have already accused Moscow of repeated drone and aircraft breaches of its airspace.

Trump’s Security Strategy Focuses on Profit, Not Spreading Democracy
https://archive.ph/6GNcZ
Quote:The document, known as the National Security Strategy, describes a world in which American interests are far narrower than how prior administrations — even in Mr. Trump’s first term — had portrayed them. Gone is the long-familiar picture of the United States as a global force for freedom, replaced by a country that is focused on reducing migration while avoiding passing judgment on authoritarians, instead seeing them as sources of cash.

Trump Calls Reports on His Health ‘Treasonous’
https://archive.ph/TD4uT
Quote:“After all of the work I have done with Medical Exams, Cognitive Exams, and everything else, I actually believe it’s seditious, perhaps even treasonous, for The New York Times, and others, to consistently do FAKE reports in order to libel and demean ‘THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES,’” Trump said in a nearly 500-word post on Truth Social late Tuesday.
Trump’s swipe at the
Times comes after it
reported last month that the President has apparently cut back on domestic travel and public appearances. The report also mentioned Trump’s apparent dozing off during an event at the White House (and the
Times reported earlier this month that he appeared to fall asleep again during a Cabinet meeting).
