Failed, disgraced, one-term and twice-impeached former president Donald Trump absolutely loves to brag that he has the most devoted supporters on the planet, but how does he really feel about them?
Granted, we know the Trumpers and MAGA faithful adore the Donald with a fervor that resembles some sort of religion, though it’s actually more of a cult. (Think David Koresh mixed with Jim Jones and you’ll have the Trump equivalent.)
And now we have a video that shows exactly how much Trump despises his acolytes and doesn’t actually want to be anywhere near them.
The video was shared on Twitter by Ron Filipkowski, and it clearly shows a small crowd of Trump faithful wanting to get as close as possible to the Donald.
And yet, Trump instructs his Secret Service detail to move the people, gesticulating for the security personnel to shoo away the fans so he can walk unencumbered and not have to get too close to the “little people” as he likely refers to them when they’re not around.
You can almost imagine Trump telling the Secret Service agents, Get these assholes away from me! They’re too close. They might mess up my hair or breathe on me. To hell with that!
Filipkowski later discussed the video on his podcast, MAGA Uncovered, and his comments are completely on-point.
The comments from Twitter users regarding the video were also fantastic.
A black Southern Baptist minister is calling out his colleagues and accusing them of being “whores for Trump,” setting off a wave of hypocritical denials from the very people who have supported the thrice-married sexual philanderer who has expressed sexual attraction to his own daughter, Ivanka, when she was only 13.
Kevin Smith is the pastor at Family Church in Palm Beach and also the former executive director of the Baptist Convention of Maryland/Delaware, and he spoke at the first day of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC), accusing some ministers of losing their minds when Barack Obama was elected president in 2012, and yet were eager to embrace the deeply-flawed Trump:
“I think some Southern Baptists lost their minds when a black man was elected president — not all, but some. I think some Southern Baptists were unloving to Black people beginning in 2012 with the killing of Trayvon Martin.
“I don’t mean agree about politics or policy … I just mean giving a darn that somebody else is hurting who is supposed to be your brother or sister in Christ, and I think some Southern Baptists just bent over and became political whores with this whole Trump stuff.”
But that was too much truth for many attendees at the SBC, with Protestia.com almost foaming at the mouth as it reacted to what Smith had said:
Not one panelist rebuked him for his insults and incendiary statements. No one corrected him for suggesting that the “some” weren’t regulated to a handful of isolated yokel hillfolk, but rather make up a large and significant minority. He had no proof that the SBC is filled with this rampant, overt racism that rears its ugly head because of a black man getting in power, and not because Obama is a Democrat with awful policies. In a mark of true leadership, all stayed quiet and let that linger for the rest of the panel.
As far as becoming political whores and bending over so the bad orange man could impregnate us with racial ideologies, this is not the winsomeness that he was insisting we emulate during his later conference talk that he gave in front of the whole convention, making him quite the hypocrite.
But the facts couldn’t be clearer, and they support what Reverend Smith said and completely demolish what Southern Baptists would have us believe. For example:
It took the SBC until 2009 to finally admit that slavery was wrong and a sin.
Southern Baptists were indeed highly critical of President Obama, even though he was a family man, had been married for decades, and helped raise two brilliant, accomplished daughters. Some of them even prayed for Obama’s death.
As we say in the South when someone is particularly upset by a criticism that cuts them to the bone, A hit dog always hollers.
As had been expected for some time now, failed former president Donald Trump was indicted Thursday on multiple counts connected to his mishandling of classified documents and obstructing justice.
Trump said Thursday night that his attorneys were informed that he has been indicted in the special counsel’s investigation into his handling of classified documents. Two sources familiar with the matter confirmed the indictment, one adding that Trump had received a summons to appear in U.S. District Court on Tuesday.
In a post on his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump said: “The corrupt Biden Administration has informed my attorneys that I have been Indicted, seemingly over the Boxes Hoax.”
As you’d expect, the pro-Trump MAGA faithful went into full apocalyptic meltdown mode, whining and weeping on social media as they proved their own ignorance of the case and their blind devotion to a man who has been engaged in criminal behavior his entire life.
The Biden Administration is weaponizing the DOJ to go after their number one opponent. It’s a two-tiered system of justice aimed directly at Donald Trump and conservatives.
The American people should choose our next President, not politicized prosecutors hand-picked by Joe…

If the people in power can jail their political opponents at will, we don’t have a republic
Our completely out-of-control Department of Justice is destroying the country. Meddling in elections, refusing to prosecute political allies, political prosecutions of political opponents. Just horrific situation we're in right now. Horrific.
There’s an eponymous saying attributed to P.T. Barnum that we’re all familiar with: There’s a sucker born every minute.
But based on a report from NBC News, it’s probably safe to say that when it comes to supporters of failed, one-term, twice-impeached and once-indicted former president Donald Trump, those suckers are born every second.
Take, for example, John Amann, who says he purchased $2,200 worth of Trump Bucks over the past year but was told they were worthless when he tried to cash them in at his bank.
NBC News has identified the Colorado-based companies behind the Trump Bucks as Patriots Dynasty, Patriots Future and USA Patriots and reviewed dozens of social posts, online complaints and hundreds of misleading ads for the products. Additionally, NBC News has found at least a dozen people like Amann who say they invested thousands of dollars after watching the pitches on Telegram and other websites that strongly suggested that Trump himself was endorsing these products.
“Now I’m questioning whether he is aware of this,” Amann said of Trump.

There’s no proof that the failed ex-president is connected to the scam, though if he were, you know he’d be getting a hefty share of the profits and would also likely deny he was.
Patriots Dynasty, the company behind the scam, operates out of a industrial center in Denver and has been given an F rating by the Better Business Bureau.
All of this is part of a larger scam goes by the moniker of the Trump Rebate Banking System (TRB for short), which is telling buyers that when Trump is returned to office, he’ll unveil a new monetary system that will magically transform the Trump Bucks into money that is worth much more than what they paid for the items.
Invest in a TRB membership card “issued by Donald Trump,” the ads from Patriots Dynasty, Patriots Future and USA Patriots claim, and the purchaser who spent, say, $99.99 on a “$10,000 Diamond Trump Bucks” bill will be able to cash it in for $10,000 at major banks and retailers like Walmart, Costco and Home Depot.
“TRB system membership cards are official cards issued by Donald Trump to allow Trump Bucks holders to use Trump Bucks as legal tender and deposit them in banks such as JP Morgan Chase, the Bank of America and Wells Fargo,” a narrator identified only as “John” that appears to be a computer-generated voice says in one YouTube ad just moments after cautioning viewers that “Trump Bucks are not legal tender.”
Another victim, a 75-year-old grandmother who lives in Alabama, had this to say about the Trump Bucks, which she now realizes have no value whatsoever:
“I saw all these ads on Telegram that had Trump pushing coins and checks that he endorsed and how you can cash them in after a year and make a profit. I was told how you can go to Bank of America or Target or Amazon to cash them in.”
But when she went to the local Bank of America branch, she found out that she’d been conned out of $1,500.
“When we get there the lady tells me she’s seen dozens of people coming in to cash these checks and they have nothing to do with this,” the grandmother said.
“Now I realize, well, that was stupid,” she said. “But I bought them because I believed President Trump, because he knows all about finance, and he was going to help the real Trump Patriots get rich.”
A supporter of failed one-term ex-president Donald Trump tried to attack anti-Trump protesters in New York City Tuesday morning and had to be pulled away by police.
David Mack of BuzzFeed News shared video of the incident on Twitter and it quickly went viral.
“A Trump supporter just rushed the banner and tried to tear it up. Started attacking the anti-Trump protesters. Very ugly and heated. Swarmed by media. Police struggled to get in to break it up. Getting heated.”

Law enforcement had to step in and separate the two groups.
The confrontation came just hours before Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is scheduled to hold a pro-Trump rally in the very same area of downtown Manhattan.
The disgraced former president will be arraigned, booked, fingerprinted, and photographed at 1:30 pm. He will then return to his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, and make a speech later this evening.
