Meidas Stomped on Trump and the Media… LET’S GO!

Written by Ben Meiselas

We won the day thanks to you. We stomped on Trump and his corporate media lackeys thanks to you. Thank you to our subscribers. Please subscribe now.

Our coverage of puppies and kittens got more views than corporate media covering the inauguration. We made corporate media look irrelevant today thanks to you. We raised almost $90K yesterday alone for the Humane Society from the Puppy and Kitten event we did.

Here is what went down.

Trump looked like a pathetic, weak, little psycho bunker boy as he moved the inauguration inside the Capitol Rotunda because he was afraid of small crowd sizes and blamed it on “cold weather.”

This was the most embarrassing inauguration in the history of the presidency.

The optics were a disaster for Trump.

His weird third wife, who hates him, dressed up for some Orwellian dystopian funeral with a hat that looked like the Pizza Hut roof.

Weird, weird, weird.

The billionaire oligarch tech owners sitting in the front row made weird facial expressions like they were tweaking out or something during the speech as Zuckerberg stared into Bezos’ wife’s chest.

Weird, weird, weird. And creepy.

Trump’s speech was a disaster.

No mention of unions, workers, healthcare, or tackling inflation.

Trump said earlier that inflation was not a big deal and that the biggest concern among Americans was people coming in from “mental institutions.”

Trump did not bring peace to Ukraine as promised on Day 1. Trump said he didn’t believe a ceasefire in Gaza would last and said he didn’t care if it did.

Trump praised Kim Jong Un. He talked about “taking over” Panama.

The speech was objectively the worst inauguration speech ever.

Then, Trump went back to the Oval Office, where he pardoned and commuted every January 6 insurrectionist, including the leaders of the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers, who were convicted by federal juries of sedition.

Trump also signed Executive Orders declaring birthright citizenship unlawful, removing the United States from the Paris Climate Treaty, withdrawing from the World Health Organization, and rescinding prior executive orders that lowered prescription drug prices, among other things.

Trump announced that 25 percent tariffs on Mexico and Canada would begin on February 1 and said he would put 100 percent tariffs on Spain, claiming Spain was in the BRICS bloc—when, in fact, Spain is an EU nation and not part of BRICS.

Trump looked like a bumbling fool in the Oval Office.

A national and international disgrace.

As Trump signed Executive Orders, one by one, the meme coin he and Melania released before the inauguration was crashing hard, causing massive losses for those who bought it.

In 24 hours, Trump managed to make the Oval Office look so little and so cheap.

While all of this was going on, the MeidasTouch Network was hammering him. Every second, we didn’t relent.

Video after video today, we called him out.

We did not hold back.

We were on the front lines of reporting.

We showed in the past 24 hours that we can fully replace corporate media, which has been an utter failure.

Trump thought he had controlled all of the media owned by billionaires and oligarchs.

He didn’t think a network like ours could be as big—or bigger—than corporate media, especially when we have zero investors. Zero oligarchs. Zero billionaires. That’s why our subscribers to this Substack are so important.

Trump and MAGA couldn’t fathom that we could build the top editorial team not through billionaires and oligarchs, but through Substack subscriptions right here.

They are pissed. This is their worst nightmare.

They spent all their energy getting corporate media to kiss the ring, only for the MeidasTouch Network to fill the void with even more viewers—calling Trump out with a ferocity he could not fathom or handle.

Look, we have been targeted by Trump before in court. We expect he will come after us again soon. That is his nature. We are getting tons of threats from MAGA. That is their nature.

But guess what?

We aren’t backing down.

We are going to grow bigger each day and be Trump’s worst nightmare over the next four years.

We will be corporate media’s worst nightmare over the next four years, constantly reminding them of their traitorous betrayal of democracy.

Thanks to you, we are building an infrastructure that will last for generations.

In addition to our hard-hitting reporting yesterday, our Puppy and Kitten Inauguration raised almost $90K for the Humane Society in a single day. I am so glad we can use our platform for good.

Yesterday was a defining moment for this network.

With your help, we met the moment. We will continue to meet the moment each day. We will continue to make you proud to be a Meidas Mighty.

We will make history together.
