To work in the Trump administration is you have to be a liar, you have to be a propagandist and apparently you have to follow in Trump's footsteps of not paying your bills. So we find out that Caroline Levitt is being chased by creditors after failed Congress bid leaves her drowning in debt. So what? I read this article and her campaign has hundreds of thousands of dollars outstanding to people that helped her or that she hired and she is not paying them in true Trumpian fashion because we know that Donald Trump does not pay contractors. You have to sue him. And then he continues to obfuscate and go through the judicial motions and a single person like a small business ultimately goes bankrupt. Donald Trump does not pay his bills. Apparently Jeffrey Epstein broke up with him because he found out he didn't pay his bills. But I digress. It just goes to show you, all this cross wearing and lying and propaganda, this is who they are. They leave people in the dust. They don't give a shit after they get what they want. And as the tour of Scotland goes on for Trump, as he continues to humiliate himself and make an ass of himself, I can't help but wonder like these world leaders that he sits in front of and just is a complete what are they thinking? So yesterday, here's what he started saying about the Epstein scandal in front of the UK Prime Minister and his face is priceless.

We would have used it on the guy. It's a bad issue. They say it's a good issue for Trump. Do you know that my poll numbers are up four and a half points since this ridiculous Epstein stuff? My poll numbers have gone up four and a half points because people don't buy it.

Okay, first of all, stammer looks like a hostage. And Trump saying my poll numbers have gone up. I mean, what's the deal? Is he medicated? Why can't he speak? Is his mouth full of peanut butter? Is it a sign of the dementia? Is he on something like that is not normal. Talking like that is not normal. And his poll numbers have gone up. Hello, you big fat liar. Here's the truth. Fox poll shows 80% of registered voters have been following the Epstein case. Of the people who've been following the case, only 13% believe the Trump administration has been open and transparent. Here's the thing, Trump hasn't been open and transparent. He's gaslighting. You have, you know, Joe Rogan, Theo Vaughn, all these people turning them in the right wing manosphere because he can't even keep his story straight because Even though he's a convicted felon and corruption is his middle name, this is the most incompetent cover up of all time. And we're finding out that his poll numbers overall, not just on Epsting, just in Gallup poll, Trump's approval has dropped to 37%, his lowest this term per gallop, 58% disapprove. And this commenter says people are finally seeing through the fraud. I don't know about that. The only lower poll numbers by any president in American history were Trump 1.0 poll numbers. But 37%, I'm like, who are the 37% that are like, rah, rah, sis, boom, boss. Trump is so great. The GDP's down, interest rates are staying the same, inflation's up, prices are higher, people are being treated like animals. I'm all for it. Who are these cruel? And then of course, we have J.D. vance. Is he pulling a coup? Is he on Team Trump? He's been extremely quiet since the whole Epstein thing. And he was busted going to Rupert Murdoch's on the down low before the Wall Street Journal article hit regarding Trump and his drawing and his name being pubicure. So JD Vance tweets this, and I just have to talk about it. He says the entire European press is singing the President's praises right now, amazed at the deal he negotiated on behalf of Americans. Tomorrow, the American media, media will undoubtedly run headlines like, Donald Trump only got 99 of what he asked for. Okay, this is hilarious because this is projection at its finest. Because I look at Trump over there talking about Scotland, how Gaza hasn't said thank you for the aid that has been sent. How is their love from Hamas to these hostages? I mean, he's nuts. He's slurring his words. And I think about the world leaders that are sitting there and I'm sure they're like, after he leaves, they're just like, what the is happening? He's slurring. He doesn't make sense. He's lying. Like, what is going on with this guy? And you see the European press, I mean, they're going hard after Trump and he gets so frustrated, but this is really what's going on in the uk JD Vance, you have bus stop pictures of Trump and Epstein, like all loved up pictures together. Because despite what J.D. vance thinks, Trump has humiliated himself. He's humiliating America. And here's the thing. I think J.D. vance knows that and that's why he posts this. Oh, the European press is singing Trump's praises. No, they're not. They're thinking he is a colossal dipshit. This guy doesn't know what's going on. He's slurring his words. Nobody is running away singing his praises. And he got 99 of what he wanted. Did he want to increase American costs by 15? Because that's what he did. He didn't win. Except for opening his golf course on the taxpayer dime. And he took his whole family over there and he's opening his golf course. He's advertising for his golf course on the White House social media account. Listener. Don't you hate going to the doctor? And they take blood and a week later they're like, oh, you're fine.

So, I mean, it's just corruption to the highest level. And I think J.D. vance knows it because J.D. vance, he has been kind of pushed out of the whole thing because of its whole Rupert Murdoch thing and the talk of the coup that he's trying to pull with his benefactor slash Yassify friend, Peter Thiel at Palantar. So there's something naughty going on with J.D. vance, Trump, because he does have that reptilian brain of survival. I think he knows it. Vance is trying to get back in his good graces, but everybody knows JD Vance has no conviction. He's just a propagandist like the rest of them. But I just, I find it interesting that he singled out the press because all the press in the UK and Scotland right now is Trump's get out. He's a pedophile. All this, the pictures of Epstein so projection at the highest order. And even Trump is trolling Vance. And again, Trump knows that JD Vance is up to no good. So he posts a meme of him and JD Vance chasing Obama and cop cars, which is crazy. I mean, let's not act like that's normal. He is trying to deflect from his bad behavior in the Epstein files and his failed incompetent cover up by bringing in Obama and Hillary Clinton and just all the greatest hits. But he's trolling JD Vance in a post because he has JD Vance in his big fat face with the wig and it's what the kid was not allowed to come in the United States for because he had this picture on his phone. So make no mistake, Trump is incompetent in every way. He can't form a sentence. He makes no sense. He's not attached to reality. But he knows JD Vance wants power and he knows JD Vance has zero morals or he wouldn't be working for Trump and that he will do whatever it takes, whether it's a coup, lying, feeding information to Fox News, feeding information to the Wall Street Journal, whatever it takes for JD Vance to get power, he will do it. And Trump knows that because despite being an intellectual imbecile, he does know about conning and grifting power and staying in power because he has shown that his entire career.

Episode Title: Trump Panics as Fox News Turns and JD Vance Moves In
In this episode of IHIP News, progressive podcasters Jennifer Welch and Angie “Pumps” Sullivan delve into the tumultuous political landscape surrounding former President Donald Trump, the shifting dynamics within Fox News, and the emerging influence of JD Vance. Their discussion is laced with sharp commentary, humor, and incisive analysis of recent political events.
Failed Campaign and Financial Troubles
The hosts begin by highlighting the financial struggles faced by Caroline Levitt, a recent congressional candidate whose failed bid has left her grappling with significant debt. Angie Sullivan draws parallels to Trump's notorious reputation for not honoring financial obligations, stating:
"You have to follow in Trump's footsteps of not paying your bills. [...] she is not paying them in true Trumpian fashion because we know that Donald Trump does not pay contractors."
— Angie Sullivan [00:05]
Epstein Scandal and Public Perception
Jennifer Welch shifts the conversation to Trump's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. She criticizes Trump's public statements and demeanor, questioning his cognitive state and integrity:
"Is his mouth full of peanut butter? Is it a sign of dementia? [...] He's gaslighting."
— Angie Sullivan [02:02]
She further emphasizes the discrepancy between Trump's claims and actual poll data, noting a significant drop in his approval ratings:
"Trump hasn't been open and transparent [...] his poll numbers overall, not just on Epstein, have dropped to 37%, his lowest this term per Gallup, 58% disapprove."
— Angie Sullivan [02:02]
Poll Numbers and Public Trust
Jennifer critiques Trump's assertion that his poll numbers have improved despite the Epstein scandal, juxtaposing it with actual polling data to argue that public trust in his administration remains low:
"Fox poll shows 80% of registered voters have been following the Epstein case. Of the people who've been following the case, only 13% believe the Trump administration has been open and transparent."
— Angie Sullivan [02:02]
JD Vance’s Political Maneuvering
The hosts pivot to discussing JD Vance, a rising political figure whose recent actions have raised eyebrows. Jennifer questions whether Vance is orchestrating a coup or aligning too closely with Trump:
"Is he pulling a coup? Is he on Team Trump? [...] he was busted going to Rupert Murdoch's on the down low."
— Angie Sullivan [02:02]
Media Relations and Public Image
Jennifer scrutinizes Vance’s recent statements praising Trump in European media, suggesting it’s a strategic move to gain favor:
"JD Vance tweets this, and I just have to talk about it. He says the entire European press is singing the President's praises right now, amazed at the deal he negotiated on behalf of Americans."
— Angie Sullivan [02:02]
She counters Vance's claims by asserting that European media actually view Trump negatively, highlighting Vance's potential miscalculations:
"The European press, I mean, they're going hard after Trump and he gets so frustrated, but this is really what's going on in the UK [...] They think he is a colossal dipshit."
— Angie Sullivan [02:02]
Trump’s Awareness of Vance’s Ambitions
Jennifer argues that Trump recognizes Vance’s lack of morals and his desperation for power, suggesting that their alliance is mutually exploitative:
"Trump knows that JD Vance wants power and he knows JD Vance has zero morals or he wouldn't be working for Trump and that he will do whatever it takes."
— Angie Sullivan [02:02]
Public Appearance in Scotland
The hosts discuss Trump's tour of Scotland, criticizing his behavior as self-humiliating and perplexing to world leaders:
"As he continues to humiliate himself and make an ass of himself, I can't help but wonder like these world leaders that he sits in front of and just is a complete what are they thinking?"
— Angie Sullivan [00:05]
Deflection Tactics and Meme Warfare
Jennifer highlights Trump's use of memes and deflection strategies to divert attention from scandals, particularly involving Epstein:
"He is trying to deflect from his bad behavior in the Epstein files and his failed incompetent cover up by bringing in Obama and Hillary Clinton and just all the greatest hits."
— Angie Sullivan [02:02]
She underscores the ineffectiveness of these tactics, portraying Trump as increasingly detached from reality:
"He can't form a sentence. He makes no sense. He's not attached to reality."
— Angie Sullivan [02:02]
Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan provide a scathing critique of Donald Trump's ongoing political endeavors and JD Vance's emerging influence within the Republican landscape. They argue that Trump's actions continue to erode public trust and that Vance's maneuvers may ultimately backfire, further destabilizing the current political environment. The hosts blend humor with pointed analysis, offering listeners a clear-eyed perspective on the challenges facing progressive politics in a deeply polarized state.
