Trump Caves Like a Coward This AM

381

By Ben Meiselas

I don’t know about you, but this doesn’t feel like winning. Waking up to see the Dow plummeting yet again, all while Trump fumbles his way through another trade war reversal, is becoming an all-too-familiar disaster. This is the same cycle on repeat—Trump throws the economy into chaos, reverses himself, then does it all over again—and Americans are the ones suffering for it.

As I recorded this, the Dow is down 1.21%, and Trump is panicking, reversing his tariffs on Mexico (for now) after flip-flopping about five times. He’s kept quiet at first about Canada, though, after lifting his auto tariffs there just yesterday. And then, like clockwork, he attacks Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, blaming him for a mess Trump himself created. A few hours later, Trump then signed an order rescinding the tariffs on Canada for USMCA-compliant goods until April 2.

Let’s break this down:

  • Trump unilaterally slapped tariffs on Canada, essentially declaring economic war on one of our closest allies.

  • Now he’s claiming Trudeau is the one causing the “tariff problem.”

  • He even posted this morning, suggesting Trudeau is only using the crisis to run for re-election—except Trudeau isn’t even running again.

This is the same malignant narcissist nonsense we’ve come to expect from Trump. He causes a crisis, blames someone else, and then acts like it’s all just a fun game. So much fun to watch! he posted today, while millions of Americans brace for one of the worst job reports in recent history.

Meanwhile, the Atlanta Federal Reserve is now projecting a ~3% GDP contraction in the first quarter. Let me put that in perspective: If Trump had done absolutely nothing, just continued Biden’s policies, we’d be looking at 3-4% growth instead. But instead of stability, Trump is dragging the economy into a downward spiral.

And as our markets crash day after day, the propaganda machine kicks into gear. Larry Kudlow, the same failed economist-turned-Fox host who cheered on every economic collapse under Trump’s first term, is already out there spinning. His excuse? Trump’s policies aren’t "in yet.” Oh really? Because last I checked, Trump’s tariffs are tanking markets right now.


Add the MeidasTouch Podcast on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.


But it gets worse. Trump’s Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, a glorified snake oil salesman, now tells us the stock market “doesn’t matter.” Remember when Trump couldn’t stop bragging about stock market records under Biden? Now that it's crashing under him, suddenly, it’s no big deal.

And if you thought that was bad, get this: Trump’s administration has yet another scam to pay off the deficit—by selling $5 million Trump Gold Cards to Russian oligarchs. That’s their economic plan. Instead of actual policy, they want to sell American citizenship like a VIP club membership.

And let’s not forget the mountain of other disasters coming out of Trump’s clown show today:

  • Trump is planning to deport 240,000 Ukrainians who fled the war. Yes, he’s siding with Putin once again, kicking out war refugees while refusing to send military aid to Ukraine. (Trump Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt now says they have not yet made an official decision on this, calling the report “fake news”.)

  • Trump’s administration is drafting an order to completely abolish the Department of Education. That’s right—no more public education system. (Leavitt also backtracked on this report saying they also have not finalized a decision on this.)

  • Elon Musk terminated the lease for the Obama Presidential Library site—because of course, Musk has to inject himself into everything.

This is what happens when a wannabe dictator takes office. Everything burns. Markets collapse, international alliances crumble, jobs vanish, and the people at the top get richer while Americans struggle.

But the good news? People are fired up—even in deep-red districts. Republicans are showing up to town halls and demanding answers. They’re furious about Trump’s economy, furious about his pro-Putin stance, and furious about the broken promises they were sold. And the pro-democracy community is rallying to save our country.

This isn’t just a failing presidency—it’s a full-scale economic and political catastrophe. And it’s only just beginning.

If you look at the charts for bitcoin, doge coin and trump coin on March 2 between 8-12 there are huge buys. Someone pumped it. Now why would someone do that? Why would someone make such a risky move? It had to be someone with a lot of money. Someone who knew some news was coming out, possibly. Someone with an inside source? The next day the orange clown put out a message first thing stating there was going to be a crypto reserve starting soon or something of the sort. Crypto pumped. Once it got past the point of the peak where those coins were bought it dumped. All at the exact same time. Coincidence? Those are the three coins I have looked at. Interesting that they are E and T’s. I do have a picture of them side by side but cannot attach it here in these particular comments. Doesn’t seem it’s an option. Someone did say they are opening an investigation into them for market manipulation for that scenario but I cannot remember who it was.

I agree it is sad. We have watched with disbelief and then fear as this slide into fascism, that had been screamed about for years in warning, from both inside and outside of your nation, has continued to engulf what was once a trusted ally.

We can no longer fret on behalf of the American citizenry about the path that they have clearly chosen.

We have to ensure we do not follow, while also protecting ourselves from the explicit threats that have been made.

"Fail" videos on YouTube are quite popular. It is distressing to see that same willful ignorance and poor choices in upper levels of government.

If you want to understand Trump, look at him through the lens of what would Putin want. Fostering the deepening of racial, ethnic and cultural divisions are right out of the KGB playbook, as is undermining confidence in elections, seeding doubts about science, limiting access to public information, and of course alienating our allies, whether its with pointless tariffs, withdrawing from world organizations, siding with aggressors, or throwing the national economy into a tailspin. This is literally what Putin would do.

Putin has been waging a very quiet war against the US and the west since he rose to power. The KGB and the FSB have long studied our government, our economy and our culture, looking for the fault lines and fissures. They have cultivated assets in the US and abroad, including the current president and many within America’s extreme right. Now his grand plan has come to fruition. Donald Trump is literally Putin’s revenge for the failure of the Soviet Union.

And like Trump’s inability to accept responsibility for his personal failures, Putin cannot accept that the Soviet Union failed as a system, not because of the Cold War with the US, but rather due to the structural weaknesses inherent in the Soviet communist system.

I think the brains behind the heritage Society and project 2025 have designed a takeover of the government or perhaps a destruction of government that will be done within the law for which there is no way you can really fight back. In the past few years, i’ve thought about how the US came to the aid of Europe when Hitler was on his rampage. And I wondered who would come to our aid? That question surfaces every day, especially after witnessing Mr. Trump‘s embrace of Putin and Russia and his outburst last Friday. Now I understand that he is or maybe actively trying to work against President Zelenskyy by communicating with his adversaries in the government of Ukraine. This is so sick. And what frustrates me the most are the number of people in our country who display flags and shout about being patriots and yet have no understanding of what’s going on beyond what they hear on Fox News. I am 81 years old and I have no children. I really don’t look forward to seeing how this all will end.

The losers will be the American citizens and the rest of the world except russia.

Republicans are getting to the point where their inactions can be viewed as treasonous acts against the United States, They have allowed the undermining of our government by allowing the president's biggest donor to cannibalize government programs designed by serious adults to help the American public. Overseas, America's reputation has gone to shit because he has turned his back on allies to appease a foreign tyrant who's humiliates him and laughs at the usefulness of their idiot. This and all of the other dumbf_ckery against Americans will get the citizens to turn on the republican politicians fast.

I know from having mentally ill family members, there is no making sense of their antics. There is no making sense of Trump. He is not mentally fit to run a country. I don't get why people think what he says and does can make sense nor could ever make sense. Watching all these people agree and defend him is why mentally ill people don't get the help they need. People don't admit the facts when they see someone is unable to function properly. And they are afraid of him because he is mentally ill. My sister's sons wouldn't help me get her help because they were afraid of her for the same reasons as no one speaks up about Trump being mentally ill. They are afraid of him which is exactly why he needs medical attention. If I was doing this stuff you know I would be locked up immediately so why are people allowing this?? Especially his family!!

I didn't say that" in the oval office on Feb. 28.)

You've done lots of great videos along that line, but if you could put a condensed version out in a 30 - 60 second strategically placed ad, maybe it would reach the maggot silos and plant a few seeds of truth.

I asked AI bout what's happening now with DOGE all bullshit Proposing massive cuts to programs like Medicare and food stamps (SNAP), while framing it as a search for "fraud, waste, and efficiency," often serves several underlying motivations:

* Fiscal Conservatism/Reducing Government Spending:

* A core principle for some is reducing the size and scope of government. These programs represent significant government expenditures.

* Cuts can be seen as a way to balance the budget, reduce the national debt, or lower taxes.

* Ideological Opposition to Social Programs:

* Some believe that these programs create dependency and disincentivize work.

* They may argue that individuals should be responsible for their own healthcare and food needs, with minimal government intervention.

* Shifting Resources:

* Cuts to these programs could free up resources for other priorities, such as tax cuts for corporations or increased military spending.

* This reflects a different set of values and priorities about how government funds should be allocated.

* Political Messaging:

* Framing cuts as a fight against "fraud, waste, and abuse" can make them more palatable to the public.

* It allows politicians to portray themselves as responsible stewards of taxpayer dollars, even if the cuts have significant consequences for vulnerable populations.

* Downsizing Government's Role:

* Some people believe that the government has overstepped its intended role, and that many social programs should be handled by the private sector, or charities.

* Creating a narrative:

* By highlighting fraud, even if it is a small percentage of the overall budget, it can be used to justify large cuts to the program.

It's important to note that while fraud and waste do exist in any large program, they are often exaggerated for political purposes. The vast majority of beneficiaries rely on these programs for essential needs.
