'Sir, My Wife Finally Loves Me': Trump Is Now Claiming Credit For Saving Marriages

I've heard so many "Sir" stories come spewing out of Donald Trump's putrid mouth over the course of my career; I've truly lost track of them all. But this one might actually be the most bizarre yet.

Last night, the president made a pit stop in Corinth, Mississippi, where he attempted to give Republican Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith a boost in her race against Democratic challenger Scott Colom. Polls have predicted Colom's defeat to Hyde-Smith in the deeply red state, but the margin is much slimmer than the GOP would hope for, due to the president's overall unpopularity in this country, especially with respect to his ongoing war with Iran that's left Americans holding a bag full of suffering with no recourse or end in sight.

In a level of true egotism and cowardice that only Donald Trump can really pull off, despite losing ground all across this country, the sitting president has focused his campaigning attention toward traditionally red, safe states, where the incumbent Republican candidates are struggling to keep their heads above water because he and his policies really suck that bad.

But, again, in true Trump fashion, Donald spent far more time harping and bragging on himself than the candidates he's supposed to be stumping for.

Last night, Trump stood at the podium and less-than-humbly bragged about the gains seen in the stock market since his return to office two years ago -- because we can all feed our families and fill our gas tanks with stock market gains, right?

Blanche’s Own Words Turned Against Him In Alaska Suit

During the first nine minutes of Todd Blanche's interview on Face The Nation, Trump's AG was backpedaling, interrupting, getting angry, and claiming he didn't say things that he clearly did about the topic of the DOJ's ridiculous lawsuit against the state of Alaska.

The lawsuit is ridiculous on its face, but Trump gave the ammo needed for even the Supreme Court to reject hearing this case if it gets that far.

Host Margaret Brennan did not let up on Blanche, as she bombarded the AG with quotes from Demented Donald and his own filings on the lawsuit to undermine the entire rationale for suing in the first place.

Trump said he told the DOJ to file the lawsuit publicly, and when asked if he told Blanche to do it, Todd feigned being offended.

BRENNAN: In terms of the question I asked you, I asked if it was President Trump who told you to take this action. When the president said, I'm the one that said, do it, who did he tell to do it?

BLANCHE: So, I will never, ever, ever talk about communications that I have with the president of the United States. I never have, and I never will.

BRENNAN: No, the president yesterday said this on camera. He said, I told them to do it. Did he tell that to you?

BLANCHE: No, he didn't say that on camera.

BRENNAN: He said, he told them to do that.

Johnson Accuses The Media Of Being 'On The Other Team'Come On, Man!': Blanche Rages At Dana Bash For Mentioning January 6th

During an interview on this weekend's Fox News Sunday, after bragging about all of the money he's raised for his party and how they've supposedly delivered on all of their promises (tax cuts, spending cuts, deregulation) and lying about the economy they inherited from Biden, host Shannon Bream pressed Johnson on why the mood in the country is so sour right now, and Johnson proceeded to blame the media for their lousy polling numbers rather than admit or take responsibility for the damage they've done to the economy.

BREAM: With that long list, though, is it a messaging problem? Why do think Americans tell us over and over again in the polls they are worried about all kinds of things that are tied to the economy?

They don't like the direction the country is moving in. They feel very pessimistic. Is something lost in translation? Is there more work to be done?

JOHNSON: Well, look, it's a hostile media environment. Most of the mainstream media, of course, is advancing the false narrative of the other side, the Democrats and the Marxists, the insurgent left that is taking over the Democrat party.

They're on the other team. And they can completely and constantly repeat that message.

'Come On, Man!': Blanche Rages At Dana Bash For Mentioning January 6th

Trump's corrupt Attorney General didn't take too kindly to CNN's Dana Bash bringing up January 6th while asking him about their latest attempt to pre-steal the Alaska Senate race.

As we discussed here, the DOJ lawsuit filed this past week seeks to block the certification of the election unless the Republican wins, and the pretext for the suit is the claim that confusion over two candidates with the same first and last name “could taint the election,” despite the fact that the Alaska Supreme Court already ruled on this.

Blanche repeatedly denied that that's what they're doing, and never answered Bash's questions about how they'd actually prove who these voters were that were supposedly confused and voted for the wrong candidate.

The interview got ugly when Bash dared to bring up Trump trying to overturn the results of the presidential election and what happened on January 6th.

Here's the exchange via CNN:

BASH: Can we just -- can we just take a step back here? Can we take a step back as to -- you were asking why people are asking questions about this.
