'Shoddy, Filthy, BAD': Trump Loses His MIND Over Unflattering Photo Of His Golf Club

With midterm elections right around the corner and his very presidency and quite possibly his freedom hanging in the balance, President Donald Trump is clearly working hard to keep his priorities straight, as he spun out in an absolutely unhinged meltdown over an apparently unflattering photo of his Doral, Florida golf club used in a recent piece by the New York Times.

The Times used a featured image of Donald's Trump National Doral Miami in an article titled, "An Outrage in 2019. No Problem in 2026. Trump Has Moved the Ethical Line," that highlighted how the president has managed to utterly decimate what was once considered presidential norms and standards in this country.

But it seems that Trump was less concerned about what the Times wrote and far more concerned about the photo they used.

Taking to his Truth Social echo chamber in not just one, but two deranged posts, the president tailspinned into an out-and-out meltdown because the Times' photo of his Doral golf club -- which showed the club looking yellowed and blackened and, frankly, in desperate need of some TLC -- made his beloved building look "shoddy, filthy, and just plain BAD."

Quelle Surprise: Karoline Leavitt Is Joining Fox News As Network Infuriates Trump

In a move that comes as a shocking surprise to precisely no one, the New York Times has confirmed that former Trump White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is slated to join Fox News as an on-air contributor. According to the report, Leavitt is expected to start with the network on November 1, and Fox is expected to make an official announcement soon.

In a statement published by the Times, Fox News Media CEO said, "Karoline’s firsthand experience in the White House and on the presidential campaign trail gives her a distinct understanding of today’s political landscape."

Karoline gave her own statement to the NYT, promising to offer viewers "the unique perspective and candor that defined my tenure with the Trump administration."

Leavitt joins Dana Perino and Kayleigh McEnany as former White House press secretaries who ended up at Fox.

Karoline's move to Fox comes as her former boss, President Trump, has repeatedly expressed his outrage with the network, most recently complaining that Fox has not adequately covered his recent rallies.

Just yesterday morning, he raged, "Fox spends more time talking to Communists, Socialists, and Dumocrats, often without rebuttal, and MAGA is not, to put it mildly, happy."

Todd Blanche Defends DOJ Sending Federal Agents To Polling Stations

Responding to critics of the DOJ sending a thousand "election monitors" to polling stations during the midterms," Atty. Gen. Todd Blanche claimed the DOJ has been doing it since the 60s and Senators should instead thank God they are doing it.

Sen. Tammy Baldwin is, "introducing a new bill to protect voters from intimidation or interference by federal agents at polling locations called the Safe Access to the Polls Act."

Blanche was on Fox News Sunday today and received no pushback for many of his answers.

BREAM: The DOJ planning to send out a thousand monitors to the polls during the midterm elections," Shannon Bream said.

Democratic Senator Tammy Baldwin has said this about the upcoming election. She says our democracy demands or depends on Americans being able to show up at the ballot box and have their voices heard.

But that's all at risk this November as President Trump openly weighs sending in armed federal agents to our schools, churches, fire stations and other polling locations.

So what exactly is the plan? Who are these monitors gonna be?

And how do you answer critics who say it's about intimidation?

BLANCHE: I wish that the senators that are in the congressmen that are saying this fear of fear-mongering false statements would just not do that.

It's not fair to the American people.

White House Calls Republican Senator A ‘P*ssy’ After He Told Trump To F*ck Off

The White House has responded to the explosive text messages that Sen. Thom Tillis sent to Donald Trump earlier this year, and the response is almost as remarkable as the messages themselves. But it's predictable for the Trump White House.

As we noted on Friday, Tillis told Trump in one text that he had never been directly threatened with a primary contest—and said that if Trump had actually made such a threat, he would have told him to “f*ck yourself”

Tillis’s messages, which are expected to appear in his upcoming book, showed the senator bluntly rejecting Trump’s attacks and political pressure. In one message, Tillis told Trump that he did not take “bullshit” from anyone and warned that the country was failing. In another, he said that if Trump had personally threatened him with a primary rival, he would have told the president to “fuck yourself” and immediately announced his retirement.

“I don’t take this bullsh*t from anyone, including you,” Tillis wrote, adding that Trump should save the threats and games for people who didn't care whether he succeeded.

“I care if you fail,” Tillis added, “and right now we are failing.”
