Originally published at: Trump Mixes Usual Election Fraud Delusions With New Red Scare in Wake of El-Sayed Win - TPM – Talking Points Memo
In the wake of now-Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed’s narrow victory over the Democratic establishment-backed candidate Rep. Haley Stevens in Tuesday’s primary, President Trump is back to his old ways, giving a platform to MAGA conspiracy theories about how Detroit runs its elections. In a Truth Social post on Wednesday, he reran the 2020 tapes…

“1946, Mandrake. How does that coincide with your post-war Commie conspiracy, huh? It’s incredibly obvious, isn’t it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual. Certainly without any choice. That’s the way your hard-core Commie works!”

Therefore, the Communist, who is not liked in Detroit, is potentially in “Vote Counter” trouble. The Radical Left Socialist has a real shot
Is El-Sayed a Communist or a Radical Left Socialist? It’s like saying someone is a radical right wing MAGA or a Nazi. Whoops, that’s a bad example, those are the same. But you get my gist. El-Presidente and his followers are going to have to decide if this election is about progressive socialist issues like making sure every one has health care and enough food to eat or the possibility that Communist Cuba will invade and infect us all with a Marxist wet dream. Unfortunately, the Communist takeover is more likely to occur than health care for all, so maybe Trump is on to something. On the other hand, never forget that Trump’s mentor is the same guy who advised Joseph “Are you a Communist”, McCarthy.

The top Democrats on the Senate Environment and Public Works and Energy and Natural Resources Committees, Sens. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) and Martin Heinrich (D-NM), sent a letter to the Interior Department’s inspector general on Tuesday asking for an “immediate investigation” into how the vandalism claims surrounding the Reflecting Pool first emerged.
Dudes, the call from inside the house, specifically inside Trump’s head. What is there to investigate?

Toad-glans is becoming more and more “dick-tater” than dictator these days.
“As I said earlier, I’m willing to stay through recess to get it done. What’s up with recess anyway? Who gets a month off from work? I think we should stay up there and work and get it done."
Methinks Miss Lindsay’s sister-wife isn’t hankering to make many congressional friends soon.

It would be a shame if the Senate voted to get rid of the Filibuster and in November control of the Senate goes back to the Democrats.
Darn shame, I say.
Let’s make it so!

Exactly. She’s learning how well compensated he was for what little he did. And I expect lobbyists have already lined up to curry her favor.

[Trump] reran the 2020 tapes and sprinkled in some of the new red scare messaging that he and many Republicans have been spreading
Idea wise, the Republican Party is bankrupt at best. Do YOU want to be too?
It’s time for a change. Vote the Democratic ticket for peace and less tariffs.

This should be free to read for the time being: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/05/us/trump-air-force-one-qatar-library.html
And aside from the possibility that the Qatari plane may not go to Dumbass’s “library,” the notion that we’re spending tens of millions to rush to turn that fucking thing into Air Force One, only to have him yank it from service in 2 years, is utterly preposterous. Is he racing to see how much of our money he can waste in 4 years? 14 million on a worthless “repair” of the Reflecting Pool, half a billion plus for that hole in the ground where his “ballroom” is supposedly going, who knows how much for that stupid helipad they just tore up. And to top it off, he’s spent 10’s of billions to lose a war that has left our military depleted and will have the world paying a de facto tariff–TO IRAN. And I’m just scraping the surface here.

Maybe they want a Musk micro-mini robot injected in the CF’s brain to check how many raccoons are gnawing on those wires.

Actually, their strategy is based on not deciding.
More precisely, their bit is to obfuscate the differences, and imply socialist = communist = USSR = planned economy hellhole, and also Stalinism and Maoism and Venezuela all rolled up in a big sticky ball of Be Very Afraid.
Fine distinctions involving terms like democratic socialist (or social democrat if you’re in Europe) are highly unwelcome to their purpose, which is to bamboozle the ignorant.
Fun fact: a person who was born the day before the Berlin Wall fell is now 36 years old, turns 37 in a few months. The number of people who even remember the Soviet Union as a “thing” is dwindling, and the impact of red scare tactics is very much a generational one.
Which is, of course, why the asshats at Prager U keep spamming me with those endless Youtube ads for their “educational” shite about the evils of socialism. They’re desperately trying to keep the scare value alive and pass it on to the young 'uns.
Good luck, fellas. And I say that with wholehearted insincerity.

Those aren’t delusions – he’s just lying. (Occasionally MSM style good-faith-washing creeps into TPM diction. Not complaining, it’s inevitable given the relentless deterioration of public discourse. BTW good-faith-washing here means presenting BS as an honest expression of insanely held belief. It’s complementary to sane-washing, which is presenting batshit BS as reasoned opinion, but more insidious.)

Shoveling money at DHS to set up a hostile, ignorant and malicious party militia to terrorize selected demographics? The so-called ‘Golden Dome.’ Increasing military spending by 50%+ or more to $1.5 trillion?
All while cutting taxes on the highest brackets.
I think there’s a case to be made for your thesis of TSF spending the country into bankruptcy.
