Meidas Co-Founder Ben Meiselas on Jimmy Kimmel

Written by Ben Meiselas

I pride myself on the serious coverage we deliver on the MeidasTouch Network. Over the past four years, we’ve broken many major stories. But once again, I found myself featured on Jimmy Kimmel’s opening monologue—this time for reporting on Donald Trump’s poor hygiene, passing gas in public, and defecating on himself. Here’s a small portion of the segment:

In previous Jimmy Kimmel monologues, several minutes of our reporting have been featured. As you know, I am one of the few reporters who has relentlessly covered Donald Trump’s declining health. I have not shied away from detailing how it manifests, supported by substantial evidence and witness accounts.

Donald Trump will be entering office as the oldest person in American history to take the job. Unlike President Biden, who is in good shape for his age and has released detailed medical records, Trump has refused to do so. This includes his refusal to release medical records following the Butler, Pennsylvania, incident, where he bizarrely claimed his ear was hit by an AR-15 bullet.

This is not a laughing matter. During the campaign, Donald Trump was both physically and mentally diminished, even collapsing on stage at times. He was a mess. Yet, other than MeidasTouch, the media largely covered it up.

In the past 24 hours, Donald Trump announced that he is giving our nuclear codes to a weekend Fox host, Pete Hegseth, whom he appointed as Secretary of Defense. Hegseth has zero government experience and a highly scandalous past. Trump also announced the unilateral creation of a fictional Cabinet department called D.O.G.E., named after a scammy cryptocurrency meme coin, which he says will be led jointly by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy. This is the behavior of a madman, someone with diminished mental capacity.

While I am grateful to once again be featured on Jimmy Kimmel in a lighthearted segment about Trump’s physical and mental issues, I want to remind and warn everyone of the very real dangers posed by Donald Trump’s cognitive and physical decline.

MeidasTouch is the only network fearlessly reporting on these issues, and it is vital that we continue to grow. Now is the time to put our foot on the gas.
