Stephen Miller Whines About A ‘Fabricated’ Quote – And Then Shares A Video Of Trump Saying It

You remember Stephen Miller, don’t you? He’s the sort of person who’s difficult to forget.

Miller oozes malevolence and smarminess, and was one of the principal architects of the Trump administration’s immigration policies, which included separating migrant children from their parents and placing them in 21st-century concentration camps. Some of those families have yet to be reunited thanks to the barbaric orders given by Miller’s former boss.

And now Miller is back in the headlines for a posting he made on social media regarding a quote attributed to failed former president Donald Trump, who predicted a “bloodbath” if he doesn’t win in November.

Here’s what Miller shared on Twitter:

“The Biden campaign invented a completely fabricated quote for the purpose of defending the illegal alien charged with murdering Laken Riley (of whom Trump was speaking). Doesn’t get more depraved.”

Of course, if you watch the attached video, Trump does indeed call immigrants “animals”

The disgraced ex-president made similar comments last month while campaigning in Ohio, ABC News reported at the time.

“At the Saturday rally, Trump also claimed some unauthorized immigrants are ‘not human’ while making unfounded claims that other countries were letting criminals out of prisons to cross into the United States.”

So while Miller may try to deny what came out of Trump’s mouth, multiple reports prove he’s lying almost as much as the man he used to call his boss.

The former Trump adviser was raked over the coals on social media.

Trump’s Truth Social Stock Tanks After Report Reveals Site Lost $58 Million In 2023

Just last week, Donald Trump’s new media venture which backs his Truth Social site was flying high, earning him billions on paper and leading some to suggest he might use the rising value of the stock as collateral for a bond to cover the massive court-imposed fines that have been assessed against him.

However, an SEC filing from Trump Media & Technology Group shows that Truth Social lost a massive $58 million in 2023, and that sent shares of the once-rising stock plummeting. As of Noon Monday, the price of a share was down nearly 20%, which suggests the stock is in freefall and not likely to recover, especially since it’s now clear that the venture is a failure.

The collapse of Trump Media & Technology Group’s stock price was predicted by those in the know, including Emily Stewart of Business Insider.

For one thing, TMTG, which owns the conservative Twitter copycat Truth Social, makes basically nothing. According to a new financial filing from the company released on Monday, its total revenue was $4.1 million in 2023. Extrapolate that out, and the stock is trading at something like 2,000 times the company’s annual revenue. That is, um, high. Apple, for example, trades at about seven times its total revenue. And given TMTG’s paltry revenue, it actually lost $58 million last year.

Despite his claims over the years, Donald Trump has never actually been successful at anything other than hyping himself and getting suckers to give him large sums of money that he quickly burns through, leaving everyone but himself wondering what became of their investment.

How could Truth Social, which has a smaller base of followers than both Facebook and Twitter, hope to compete? While the Trump name may have once held some allure, it hasn’t now for years, and with every angry posting Donald makes online, more people are alienated and abandon him.

It turns out that being “anti-woke” doesn’t pay well, Stewart explains in her article.

As much as people say they want to shop and invest their values, it often doesn’t turn out to be the case. Instead, most people opt for the convenient option and whatever they’re most used to doing already. There’s a reason most boycotts don’t work — people are busy and tired. It’s true on the left as well. Dig deep enough, and every company in the world can probably give you a reason not to want to give them your money.

Donald Trump has the stench of a loser all over him. He’s becoming more irrelevant by the day, and if he loses to President Joe Biden in November, don’t be surprised if he winds up filing for personal bankruptcy, even if he has to do so from prison.

AOC Smacks Down Elon Musk For Claiming Democrats Want To ‘Import Voters’

Twitter CEO Elon Musk got schooled by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) on Thursday after he suggested that the influx of migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border is an attempt by Democrats to “import voters.”

Musk shared a link to an online article from the right-wing Daily Caller which claimed the Biden administration is considering granting amnesty and “handing out green cards” to the undocumented. No such plan exists.

Echoing the “great replacement theory,” a fearmongering tactic employed by conservatives for years to rile up their voters, Musk posted this on Twitter:

Ocasio-Cortez swatted down Musk’s lie by reminding him that he’s also an immigrant from South Africa.

“You’re literally an immigrant. And for everyone saying ‘yeah, but legal!!’ May I once again remind you that seeking asylum is legal, too. Have a good day!”

Musk’s fact-free posting also drew plenty of comments from others on his social media site, which continues to lose millions of dollars each month.

Here’s a thought: Let’s deport Elon back to South Africa or ship him to Russia where he’d feel more at home politically.

Trump’s Truth Social Stock Shares Could Be Worth ‘Almost Zero’ In 6 Months

The stock of failed former president Donald Trump’s Truth Social site skyrocketed in value this week, rising from $8.23 a share to $66.22 at the close of trading on Wednesday, boosting the value of Trump’s Media & Technology Group to a market value of $9.4 billion. Since Trump owns 58% of the company, that means he’s now worth $5.2 billion, at least on paper.

And therein lies the rub, according to New York Times Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Suzanne Craig, who explained on MSNBC’s “The Last Word” that the Donald’s billionaire status is illusory and could plummet even quicker than it rose.

“It’s a very volatile and high-risk stock, so it could be anywhere from worth a lot more in six months to almost zero in six months, we don’t know,” she said.

The meteoric rise of Trump’s social media stock comes at a time when he’s desperate for money to pay massive defamation and fraud judgments against him, and Craig noted he may still not be able to raise the funds he needs to meet his court obligations.

“We don’t know where he’s going to get the money from. He said that he’s going to put up cash, but you can get cash from a lot of places.”

The disgraced ex-president might try to leverage his stock holdings into some sort of loan, but that also seems dicey, Craig explained.

“Who knows what [the shares] are going to be worth in six months. There is speculation he’ll get a loan off those shares. I don’t know who would lend him money on those, because you don’t know what it’s going to be worth down the road.”

Mark Hamill’s Timely List Of Trump’s ‘Best Words’ Is A Must-Read

Mark Hamill (aka Luke Skywalker of “Star Wars” fame) has been paying close attention to failed former president Donald Trump’s utterances over the past few years and has now complied a list of the Donald’s “best words” which he shared Wednesday on Twitter for the world to enjoy.

“His made up words are fun, Hamill wrote. “(DISINFORMATES, MISINFORMATES, COVFEFE, etc.) but his more-than plentiful misspellings absolutely RULE!”

Then came the list.

  • “Stollen” for stolen
  • “Honered” for honored
  • “Unpresidented” for unprecedented
  • “Smocking” for smoking
  • “Sole” for soul
  • “Frorida” for Florida
  • “Melanie” for Melania
  • “Capital Hill” for Capitol Hill
  • “Infair” for unfair
  • “Shoebiz” for showbiz
  • “Marine Core” for Marine Corps
  • “Boarder” for border
  • “Loose” for lose
  • “Leightweight” for lightweight
  • “Grest” for great
  • “Hearby” for hereby

And who can forget a timeless classic, Hamill concluded: “Hamberders.”

Others on social media had some suggestions, too.

Ah, yes. Only the best words. Even though they usually make no damn sense at all, just like everything the former guy says.
