Monday Message to the Meidas Mighty from Ben

By Ben Meiselas

It’s Monday. The start of a new week. The fight against the Trump regime continues. We are 48 days into the Trump regime. The MeidasTouch network grows bigger. Our resistance grows stronger. The Trump regime gets weaker.

We draw on the lessons of history to stall and stop the full destruction of our Constitution.

Close historical parallels exist.

In Nazi Germany, it took between 30–52 days for Hitler to fully “synchronize” or Gleichschaltung the German state. Project 2025 is Trump and Musk’s Gleichschaltung, and they expected to have full control by now. They failed. They are growing increasingly frustrated as they find themselves in a quagmire.

Trump and Musk underestimated the resolve of foreign countries that they thought they could break.

Canada has gone “elbows up” and united to punch back at the bully Trump regime. Mexico’s powerful President Claudia Sheinbaum knows how to play Trump like a fiddle. Europe has united, with French President Emmanuel Macron, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and now incoming Chancellor Friedrich Merz all resolving to serve as a check against the United States by uniting Europe.

President Zelenskyy of Ukraine has stood strong and firm against Trump’s attempts to carve up Ukraine with Putin under the pretext of a “negotiation.”

Trump’s behavior as an intentional or negligent agent for Putin has been fully exposed.

Trump and Musk underestimated the rise of independent media led by MeidasTouch.

During the Gleichschaltung, all media kissed the ring. Trump and Musk succeeded in building regime media with X (formerly Twitter), Fox, and the right-wing podcast ecosystem.

Also, Trump got corporate media to kiss the ring, with their execs taking shameful pilgrimages to Mar-a-Lago to do the walk of shame.

Trump and Musk did not count on the rise of us and other independent media that has now replaced corporate media.

More people get their news from the MeidasTouch Network and our hosts than any news source.

We now get 350 million YouTube views a month. We are able to get out the facts and truth to remind people of Trump’s fraud and crimes and deceit.

This week is so pivotal since it marks the halfway point to the first 100 days of the Trump regime.

If we can keep derailing Trump’s version of the Gleichschaltung, we can continue to see Trump’s approval plummet and we can get closer to seeing his regime get toppled — or at least stuck — until the midterms.

As I am sure you have seen lately, we have used our platform to highlight things corporate media is intentionally suppressing.

We have covered the protests across the country, and we have covered every rally by Senator Bernie Sanders this weekend in Wisconsin and Michigan.

Senator Sanders is leading the “Fight the Oligarch” tour. Our corporate media has been obsessed with covering Trump rallies and hasn’t shown a single Bernie Sanders rally.

Since we control the largest independent media platform now, we are using it to show all the Bernie Sanders rallies. Our coverage on the Bernie Sanders rallies has gotten millions of views in the past 48 hours. (Add the MeidasTouch Podcast on Apple Podcasts and Spotify)
