There is a famous old quote “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” While it is often attributed to Albert Einstein, there’s no verifiable evidence that he actually said it. Still, it is a pretty brilliant summary of insanity and it works over and over again. We see this today with the Democrats of 2025 as their only apparent game plan is as follows:
- Attack Trump
- Utilizing Lies and Innuendos
- Ignore any Hypocrisy
- If Questioned, Gaslight and Play Stupid
- Repeat
Here are two recent examples that show why the popularity of President Donald Trump is on the rise while the media and the left are doing a crash and burn.
“Heated back-and-forth over Oval Office ‘white genocide’ video” – LiveNOW from FOX
So in the video we have a black journalist, NBC News reporter Yamiche Alcindor, trying to play “gotcha” with White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt and losing miserably. The reporter was seemingly trying to “white wash” (pardon the expression) the topic of “White Genocide” in South Africa while discrediting the Trump Administration.
Alcindor pointed out a video President Trump had South African President Cyril Ramaphosa watch during their meeting did not, as the president claimed, show a “burial” site for South African farmers, but instead depicted white crosses meant to represent slain farmers. She then went on to attempt to make the case the dozens of crosses displayed in the video were actually in honor of one slain couple and were not representative of a number of multiple killings.
Leavitt was having none of that, “Those crosses are representing their lives, and the fact that they are now dead, and the government did nothing about it,” Leavitt said as she continued to talk over Alcindor. Leavitt also noted that the Associated Press had substantiated much of what President Trump had spoken to in the Oval Office and if Alcindor had any further questions she should take it up with them. She drove the last nail in the reporter’s coffin saying, “That’s a ridiculous line of questioning,” as she went on to the next reporter with question.
So while the mainstream media is again marching in lockstep to discredit Trump about claims of “white genocide” in South Africa, social media is blowing up with posts against them such as this one:
Every mainstream media outlet is claiming Trump’s claim of a white genocide in South Africa is baseless

Here’s a clip of Julius Malema, a member of the South African government, saying “k*ll the boer” aka white people
You don’t hate the media enough

This entire episode of President Trump calling out the President of South Africa for the documented apparent accelerated killing of South African white farmers, once again, shows the Democrats and media of America taking the wrong side of history just because they hate Trump. Oh, and by the way, some of those white farmers of South Africa are being raped and tortured before they are murdered.
This was very similar to the incident of the MS-13 gang member sent home to El Salvador. A Salvadoran gang member was sent home to a prison whereupon the mainstream media decided his true identity was not very pretty so they tried to title him a “Maryland Dad”.
But then, when Trump struck back, outfits like “Inside Edition” thought it would be a good idea to get in the mix with some gaslighting and misinformation.
“Trump Insists Kilmar Abrego Garcia has Photoshopped ‘MS-13’ Tattooed on Hands” – Inside Edition
From their YouTube video description:
“A moment from President Donald Trump’s ABC News interview is raising eyebrows after he insisted that Kilmar Abrego Garcia has “MS-13” tattooed on his knuckles. Trump was talking about an image he posted on social media created by his administration to bolster their case that Abrego Garcia is a member of the notorious gang. The faded tattoos on his knuckles show a marijuana plant, smiley face, crucifix and skull, but “MS-13” seems to be clearly photo-shopped.”
So IE decided it would be smart to perpetuate the failing narrative of ABC’s Terry Moran that the Trump Administration had “Photo-shopped” a picture of Garcia’s knuckles. This was one of the few times President Trump could have done better in an interview but I am not even sure he understood Moran’s line of questioning as many didn’t.
Moran came off like a moron trying to get the public hooked on the idea the Trump Administration had “doctored a photo” to fit their narrative. Trump should have said, “We didn’t Photoshop anything, we simply captioned the meaning of his gang signs in English so it is understood. What, are you stupid, Terry?”
CONCLUSION:
For journalists to enter the White House the likes of NBC’s Yamiche Alcindor and ABC’s Terry Moran to try to play “gotcha” with President Donald Trump is not just disrespectful but laughable. Donald Trump’s intelligence quotient (IQ) is known to be off the charts while these two so-called professional “journalists” seem like they belong back in daycare somewhere.
As a white person, I found it particularly insulting NBC sent a black journalist to the White House to ask a question about “White Genocide” going on in South Africa right now, AND IT IS GOING ON IN SOUTH AFRICA RIGHT NOW!
The way to fix the insanity of Congress is honest elections at the ballot box because the American public sees the Democrats for who they truly are now.
The way to fix the insanity of the media is to inform their management that if they do not cease and desist in the behavior noted above, they will not be called on for questions in the press briefing room and they will not have access to the president for future interviews.
The American public is tired of watching the hypocrisy of the left as outlined above. We are not stupid and we do not like to be treated as if we are. It is very gratifying to see how many Democrats are now leaving that party simply because they do not want to be associated with the insane. It shows America does have hope for the future.
