Hey Meidas Mighty, it’s Ben. I had to break this one down for you because, honestly, I’m still trying to wrap my head around it.
Donald Trump held a press conference today—and I use “press conference” loosely, because what unfolded was more like an unfunny comedy sketch written by someone who just discovered caffeine and fascism at the same time.
It started with a reporter calmly asking Trump to respond to Wall Street analysts calling him part of the “TACO trade”—an acronym investors are using which stands for Trump Always Chickens Out. It’s shorthand for how Trump always chickens out on tariffs, causing the markets to rally—and investors are using their understanding of Trump’s weakness to their advantage. Trump, predictably, lost it. He yelled at the reporter, denied being a chicken (LOL), and then launched into some incoherent tale about negotiating with the EU using dates he clearly made up on the spot. Just full-on word salad.
But it didn’t stop there.
He got completely confused when a French reporter asked about resuming foreign student visas. Trump didn’t seem to know that it was his own policy blocking those visas in the first place. Not a detail guy, I guess.
Then came the Putin question. “Will Putin stop the war?” Trump’s answer: “I’ll let you know in two weeks.” Again with the two weeks?! That’s his strategy? Just wait and see? You could bait this guy with a tweet. He has no plan—just vibes and volume.
Note: MAGA and Rogan-ites are trying to spam the MeidasTouch Podcast with negative reviews. We need your help to fight back. Add the MeidasTouch Podcast on Apple Podcasts and Spotify, listen to the latest episodes, and leave a 5-star review if you can!
And then, the delusions really kicked in. He claimed—wait for it—that he personally “brought back” $5.1 trillion from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE. I checked. The entire GDP of those countries combined doesn’t even come close. But sure, Trump made that money “in about two hours.” Totally believable.
He even tried to justify flying around in a gold-plated 747 by saying it was “free” and “paid for” with that imaginary $5.1 trillion. You see the scam? He invents a fake windfall, then uses that to excuse real grift—tax cuts for billionaires, gutting Medicaid, slashing SNAP benefits. All while claiming he’s helping the country. It’s fraud layered on fraud.
It got worse. Trump implied he’d consider pardoning the people who plotted to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer. Yes, domestic terrorists. Then he babbled about Iran and nuclear deals in a way that made it clear he has no clue what verification, inspections, or diplomacy actually entail.
So why was he doing this press conference? Apparently to swear in Jeanine Pirro—yes, the Fox News host—as the top federal prosecutor in Washington, D.C. No joke. He praised her for going after “real criminals,” not the “fake ones” being prosecuted today. It was pure dystopian theater—Idiocracy with a fascist twist.
This press conference was one long, painful reminder of what we are fighting against. Trump is not just erratic—he’s dangerous, delusional, and still obsessed with revenge. He’s elevating loyalists over law, rewarding extremists, and using outright lies to justify stripping away your rights.
We cannot afford to normalize this chaos—and we never will at the MeidasTouch Network.
The Toddler in Chief strikes again
Maybe he needs a subscription to ‘Highlights for Children’. It’s for young children, maybe he could color. Should I send a box of crayons with the subscription?
Does that publication include BEGINNING math play? Cuz someone needs it more than badly.....
Good idea, Ellen. Maybe he could learn something from the "Goofus & Gallant" cartoon (if they still publish those).
That's what I was thinking! We read those in our eye doctor's waiting room about a hundred years ago. Was he the model for Goofus?
A new character - Donnie Timbertoes, the baby of the family.
You know in his first admin they basically edit the dallies into colorbooks
No, he needs to rot in jail and think about the bad things he has done, and still continues to do.
TACO TIC! thx Sharon! I have a new hashtag to use…😂
🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑
Yes seems they've there own reasons
“Caffeine and fascism” seem to fuel all of Trump’s pressers, in addition to abusing reporters.
More like Aderall, don't you think???
Trump has long been dependent on large amounts of Adderall, Xanax, Valtrex, and Diet Coke, confirms former “Celebrity Apprentice” talent-wrangler Noel Casler. Though Casler has been speaking out regularly since 2016, Trump has never denied or challenged Casler’s comments. (He now writes on Substack.) Neither has Casler retracted anything, AFAIK.
Whatever he takes, it's not working.
Ahhhh, self medicating through personal physician, may he find inspiration in Michael Jackson. His music I mean, OBVIOUSLY 😏
😉
TRUTH
Valtrex is for Herpes!
It is. Noel Casler says Trump’s assistants are dispatched to the Duane Reade to pick up his embarrassing personal needs.
You made my night Leslie. I love it! That is a great little factoid that I never heard before. Maybe he sends Karoline Leavitt to pick it up 🤣 Imagine being at the checkout at Duane Reade. "I'll have a a pack of gum, Bounty, Toilet paper, and Adderall, Valtrex, Xanax, Industrial strength Viagra, and a case of Depends". LOL. Dying.
I remember years ago when Paris Hilton was the reality star du jour, and they went through her garbage and found the pill bottles for it. I'm sure that's why Melania won't go near him and despises him and why she is pay-for-play.
You are right on all counts, Robin. One of the few green shoots emerging from Trump’s manure is Noel Casler’s as a writer (here on Substack), as well as, yes, a true moral voice. He also shares spicy stories like Trump’s drugstore runs.
Before he worked with Trump, Casler was a talent wrangler and road manager for top groups like CSNY (both individually and together). He grew near D.C. with his lesbian mom and her potbellied pig, both of whom he adored; the former did time in Alderson for nonviolent drug offenses. He speaks frankly about his own recovery, and recently wrote about his introduction to Springsteen and what that means to him. Casler frequently appears on podcasts like Stephanie Miller’s. Enjoy!
P.S. Re contractual frau Melania, in 2016 Trump lied that she’d graduated from the University of Ljubjana with a degree in architecture, no gut major, as you know. Slovenian U was deluged with calls; the White House website was discreetly changed from “graduated from” to “attended.” She dropped out freshman year.
You are my kind of person Leslie! I am going to look up Noel Caslar. I never heard of him but want to know him now!
Trump also said she speaks 5 languages. Her "Einstein Visa" was because she spoke 5 languages. Yeah...she can "yes" in 5 languages and accepts all forms of payment. Cash, cashier checks, and now, her own crypto. Pls. Eastern European "model" who met rich men at the "Kit Kat Club". Slovenian hooker is more like it. Did you see the "statue" they had of her in Slovenia in her town? Looked just like one of those Soviet statues, and someone destroyed it and just left her feet. Haha. Thank you so much again! Nice meeting you.
Lie lie lie, lie lie lie lie lie lie lie. No, it’s not “The Boxer,” just Trump running his mouth. He claimed Melania speaks seven languages, when in fact she speaks fluent Slovenian and broken English. Ben Meiselas ran a segment a year ago on the pimp—I mean, proprietor of The Kit Kat Klub—who introduced them. This guy was later pictured on Epstein’s dodgy plane with Trump, a young Eric and Vanky (as Noel calls her), and John Casablancas, the pimp—I mean, model-agency owner— who married a series of teenage girls. Good clean fun!
You’re my type too—I love to share writers and fun facts.
Oh yeah...her "manager".I was going to call him the " pimp" too 😂 I once did a whole search on him including his wikipedia down to the edits that were being made daily. It's on record what they delete and change and who did it. Scum. Are you surprised? Yes, just like John Casablancas. But this "friend" of Melania was given a job in the regime!!! It may have been an ambassadorship. Who says crime doesn't pay 💰 💰💰And "Vanky"...so funny!
Noel had to deal with Vanky on CA, and speaks with disgust how early he had to arrive on filming days to admit her five-person glam squad. He insists that until she parted professional company with her dad in 2021, she and Jared “were the ones to watch out for. They were the ones running the show.”
Yes yes yes
Absolutely
Demented Diaper Don the Con gets his AI answers at Trump University, so we can all have confidence in his leadership.🤡💩💩💩
But the is exactly what the GOP has...confidence in his leadership...vey scary.
I always like his use of the word "nasty". What a big boy...
Trump’s most likely to deploy “nasty” against female reporters and opponents.
I’m sure his mother must have used that term often with him!
I’ve actually heard the word “nasty” emerge from Mary Ann Trump’s lips. Donald inherited her baroque blonde hairstyle.
Trump really is a complete embarrassment. It's just stream of consciousness babble
Cait Conley is an amazing woman. I hope to heaven she wins her congressional seat. With her blue-collar roots, academic, and military background she could be a tremendous mover and shaker in the Democratic party.
Don’t forget the ADDERALL!
Forgot communism.
Absolutely
She seems awesome! We all will be happy to help her.
The old “2 week” promise! Any one ever count how many times he said something would be done in 2 weeks?
In his previous term, both an infrastructure bill and a replacement for the Affordable Care Act were promised at various two-week intervals. Trump never delivered on either. President Biden’s historic infrastructure bill yielded forty thousand projects.
Which trump is taking credit for.
Does anyone believe ANYTHING he says?
NEVER
EXACTLY!!!!
unfortunately too many people do....which is so sad... Until he hurts them they are all in.
Unfortunately, the far-right and republiCRAPS do.
Pretty much the only ones in the entire world who believe him are his maga supporters which I guess includes the entire GOP Congress except maybe Murkowski. That's one of the scariest and saddest parts of this entire disaster, that those elected officials are just as dumb as he is.
https://open.substack.com/pub/meidastouch/p/trump-has-disastrous-presser-and?r=zdms8&utm_campaign=comment-list-share-cta&utm_medium=web&comments=true&commentId=121022432
I think they’re scared of revenge, and/or are making a lot of money by pretending to believe.
I agree about the revenge and find that very sad...mostly they only revenge trump can exact is to not support them in their next campaign which may mean they lose, but what horrible people that would choose bowing down to someone whose policies hurt their constituents rather than take a chance in an election. If they lose the election they still would not be representing their constituents or doing anything to help their fellow citizens just as they are with their bowing down to trump, but at least they might have some shred of dignity and integrity.
I’ve heard that they go after younger female family members: give personal information and tell vicious lies. The MAGAs are given their contact info and they recieve a lot of threats.
And they ALL kiss his ass.. while Maga drowns in the orange KOOL AID, faithful to an idiot that has no clue what ANYTHING is pertaining to politics and anything else of importance..a sick, pervert, racist rapist, Grifter like no one has ever seen!! Lawbreakers, all of em.. not caring who they harm, as long as the money rolls in for em. Trump has more then doubled his bank acct since Jan. Now his billions are larger then ever. ELON, who rigged this election, per the pos potus himself, then his $290,000,000 towards the campaign.. for this once upon a time, illegal, draft dogeing, haha, immigrant to wreak havoc with his minions, high off a cocktail of drugs, Trump on his addies, Jr on the sugga booga... and I can't even work in the medical field or work with children, or own a gun because I have 1 felony from 15 years ago, non violent and could have been avoided.. YET THE NARCISSISTIC, DERANGED LUNATIC IN THE WH, RAPIST, SELL OUT, TREASONOUS TRAITOR WITH 34 PLUS FELONY CONVICTIONS IS IN CHARGE OF THE COUNTRY, WHOM HE COULDN'T CARE LESS ABOUT AS ONE CAN SEE.. ALL BUT MAGA, WHO WILL OBVIOUSLY NEVER TAKE ANYONE ELSE'S WORD FOR IT.. WHAT'S IT GOING TO TAKE? FOR HIM TO PERSONALLY NEGATIVELY AFFECT YOU OR A FAMILY MEMBER, FRIEND OF YOURS? WHEN DOES IT BECOME OBVIOUS TO U? WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR U TO REALIZE HE'S NOT HERE TO SERVE U, OR TO BETTER YOUR LIFE OR FINANCIAL SITUATION. IF TRUMP ISN'T GETTING MORE MONEY, A GIFT, BTW, ALL ILLEGAL ACTS, NOT ALLOWED TO ACCEPT ANYTHING. IF HE'S NOT GETTING PRAISED OR HIS ASS ISN'T GETTING KISSED, THEN HE'S NOT HAPPY, AND DON'T U DARE TALK BAD ABOUT THE CONALD, YOUR LIFE IS AT STAKE!! GET THIS WHOLE CROOKED, CORRUPT, SEXUAL PRED, ADDICTED, LIEING, FEARLESS, HEARTLESS, CLUELESS, INEXPERIENCED, UNEDUCATED,DANGEROUS BILLIONAIRES/ MILLIONAIRES OUT OF THE WH ASAP. WAY TOO LITTLE ATTEMPT TO STOP THIS MADNESS AND REPUBLICANS CAN NOT WIN IN THE MIDTERMS IF THE AUTHORITARIANISM ISN'T STOPPED! VOTE THESE ASS HOLES ALL THE WAY OUT
Unfortunately, the magaz do
TRUMP LIES DAILY. REMEMBER????????
If trump is speaking, he is lying...always.
130,000 times last term.. he's Def doubling his lies, golfing trips, and BANK ACCOUNT since Jan
He lies minute by minute! Daily is giving him a lot of wiggle room!
What would T have done in the case of the I-95 bridge collapse. Biden, Buttigieg, et.al. got right on it...allocated funds, etc.. The bridge was repaired in what I think was record time considering the debris removal, temp roads, & reconstruction. I-95 is one of the most important Interstates, going from Miami to the Canadian border.... T would have fudged, made political theater of the mess & it may have taken ages after infighting, etc. Just sayin'
Since he doesn’t live in Philadelphia, Trump would have ignored the bridge collapse that was repaired in just six days during the previous administration.
Trump only moves quickly if it will sweeten his bank account
Unfortunately, we need something REALLY big - no lives lost tho, so people can see exactly that neither he nor anyone in his administration knows what the hell they are doing. REALLY BIG. But of course, this would be bad .
We’re seeing this already, as Trump either is refusing FEMA funding for debris cleanup, etc., for disaster areas in states that voted for him, like Arkansas, Mississippi, and North Carolina, or just ignoring the requests. MAGA interviewed seem disillusioned but oddly resigned, as we head into this year’s hurricane season.
Before Helene and Milton even made landfall last year, President Biden had planned for FEMA funding and assistance. Trump simply lied about the Biden response. That will be less easy to do for him when he can’t pass the buck for this year’s natural disaster to someone who’s retired.
Well said. And I just cannot find compassion for the folks in these states, which includes my own state...trump was clear he was going to end fema so what did they expect? Well I think they truly expected him to end it just for California.
Canadians love it when I tell them that for more than forty years, I’ve been hoping that D.C. would become the 51st state, and granted two Senators. The last place Trump wants to give statehood is the District, full of POC, journalists, and lawyers, which cast 92.4% of its 2020 vote for President Biden.
Dear Philip - I agree and right now trumps FEMA has failed to assist on going disasters in North Carolina, Kentucky- emergency assistance is ignored while media ignores victims needs, along with trump regime incompetence.
That Trump is trying to cancel... forcing States not to close coal mines. Pratically begging them to pollute the air and water..
He keeps invoking “clean coal.” Trump thinks that wiping it off the with a rag is all it takes before MAGA gets nice clean coal for its Xmas stockings.
TRUTH!
Trump promises but rarely. delivers
With the Donvict , everything is gonna be in 2 weeks.. that's his fav time frame to give!!
TACO ... (Lawrence O'Donnell)
TRUMP ALWAYS CHICKENS OUT= TACO
BROUGHT TO YOU BY WALL STREET
Or….’On day one’; as if there’s 500 hours in a day. 🙄
Well he said he'd have the war solved within 24 hours of being elected. So there's that.
REMEMBER: TRUMP LIES DAILY. YOU KNOW THAT BUT TRUMP FOLLOWERS ARE PLAYING DUMB.😱😂😱😂
have you considered they aren't playing dumb. They are just dumb period.
Is anybody that dumb? Maybe?????
It is what it is
We're in aviv Israel for peace keeping mission and its not easy here
Trump lies daily
BAHAHAHA!!!!!!
Still waiting for his "improved" version of Obama care..... after ALLLL these years.
DON'T HOLD YOUR BREATH!!!
Actually, I can breathe easier when he makes promises because none of them are anything I want!
You and I expect truth from THE President. That is a realistic expectation
Not anymore
EVERYTHING!!! Every single thing. Except once he said 3 weeks this year about something but I honestly can't remember over what.
Since Britain’s The Independent has dubbed Trump TACO—Trump Always Chickens Out—it’s time to bring back taco bowls. He claimed that the ones served at Trump Tower showed Hispanics “how much he loves them.” Let’s show TACO Donny what we think of his pathetic negotiation skillz!
The new health care plan was to come out in 2 weeks back in 2016. He repeated that for 4 years. Then again when running this time. Running is the key word here. Running at both ends. Constantly.
Just like his shiny new health policy that everyone is still waiting for.
Please folks - don't call trump a toddler, a baby, a clown - he is a vile, evil person.
Orange bottomfeeding racist creepy child molesting asswipe with an ingrown mushroom sized useless dick coverd with stinking driping shit filled Depends.
Did U let AI contribute to that?
Bock bock bock
Vile, evll and dangerous
Yet still, no one will call him out on any of it. So he keeps lying. Because as long as no one fact checks him…it’s true.
And the media will sanewash him yet again. What more will it take for the MSM to finally speak the truth - that he is insane?
It’s not possible to sanewash him any longer, though the New York Times keeps trying. The White House has scrubbed 99% of Trump’s transcripts so the public can’t check him there. President Biden’s White House transcripts remain available for the public’s reading pleasure, although reportedly he has retired.
And the media continues to focus on Biden and a "cover up" ...
🌑🌑🌑🌑
If the lapdog legacy media was honest about his obvious dementia, many on the right would stop watching. Ratings and clicks are more important to the owners than truth in reporting.
Try subscribing to a private journalist; hard, factual news.
Heather Cox Richardson
They can’t…he would unalive them
Maybe if Americans begin to call their offices daily and complain. Call them out for the bought and paid for cowards they are. I’ll start tomorrow. Anyone with me?!?
That is why we need to speak up and not be chickens. That is the only way we will get him out of the WhiteHouse.
My husband blanched when I told him I wanted to go downtown on June 14. He pictured me rolling up to an Army tank in my wheelchair to stop the parade, like that single guy in the photo from Tiananmen Square.
Please go! Join up with a friend or other that doesn’t blanch.😉 Just do it anywhere but Donny’s DC show.
My best friend, the Pug Whisperer, keeps offering to push me. Thanks for the great advice!
He’s such a braindead fucking weirdo. Takes no responsibility for ANYTHING EVER!!! Asshole!!!
Worse and worse. Maybe he’ll completely lose it in two weeks. One can hope.
Put Trump in jail he is a corrupt fascist racist rapist a liar must be in prison he is an oligarchs demented old man. I like meidas network they're telling the truth and with facts .
AND...... MTN can put a sentence together!! :)
I love them. All of em know their stuff, all facts.. that's where I'll get my info from and when i posted shit Trump said or did, or said he will do, alot of my friends on fb, Maga's, of course thought I was nuts. Example, the alien enemies Act..I said he's wanting to bring that back, and no one believed me or took it seriously, AND HE DID, TOLD EM ABOUT PROJECT 2025... ABOUT MEDICAID, AKA ACA, OBAMA CARE, BEING ELIMINATED, WITH NOT A ONE REPLACEMENT OR EVEN A CONCEPT OF ONE FOR INS, WHICH SOME PEOPLE DEPEND UPON AS FAR AS MEDS GO, TO JUST BREATHE.. OR SS BEING SLASHED, FREE MEALS FOR THE LESS FORTUNATE KIDS AT SCHOOL, MEALS ON WHEELS GONE, CHILDREN'S CANCER FUNDING, GONE.. TAX BREAKS FOR TRUMP AND HIS KROOKED, KORRUPT KONNING KLAN
A sane country would put him in a straitjacket and throw him into a padded cell with no access to a phone. But of course this is not a sane country by any measure.
“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” Matthew 7:12 and Luke 6:31.
Trump claims to be a Christian, so this would apply to himself. He is having people arrested and locked up, without a trial, and prevented from having a lawyer or any sort of due process.
He explicitly said "I'm not a christian" during campaign when telling them never have to vote again
That is questionable:
https://www.facebook.com/PastorMarkBurnsSr/posts/president-trump-did-not-say-im-not-a-christian-he-was-saying-ima-christian-while/1002747957976008/
Trump has a funny way of "not being a Christian" such as cozying up to Christian religious leaders, giving speeches at Christian gatherings, leading Christian prayer before cabinet meetings, attending the Pope's funeral, etc.
So even if Trump honestly renounces Christianity now, consider that when Jesus was preaching this "golden rule" He was speaking to all. Christians as a group did not exist at that time.
The "golden rule" still applies.
What do u expect, these ABHORRENT DESPICABLE INHUMANE HEARTLESS MORONS SEPARATED KIDS FROM THEIR MOMS AND DAD'S, KEEPING THEM LOCKED IN CAGES, CAGES! EVIL
Absolutely
trump is textbook abnormal. Nothing he does or says is normal. He is a one man freak show. Keep pointing that out.
No doubt he has severe ADHD.
Hence his Adderall addiction
I’m guessing he’s trying to get all the quid pro quo’s out of the way by rushing through it.
Pathetic piece of garbage!😠
Well spoken!
Trump is nasty not the questions
Spot on!
I want to take the free class from Harvard about the Constitution.
I think all members of Congress should have to pass a test on the Constitution before being sworn in.
Plus pass not just physical but mental health exam...... NOT administered by a lackey.
Absolutely. No one should be allowed to hold office without some intelligence test an on civics and the Constitution. I’m surprised no one called him out for not putting his hand on the Nible when being sworn in. Where were the Christian Nationalists in then???
The students on student Visas are some of the brightest minds in the world. Many could stay here and offer our Country their expertise in their fields but Trump can't see this. I watched Elon's rocket once again not perform as designed. Sad as he could have certainly utilized some of the students that will someday get a rocket to Mars!
Truth
I just looked up free Harvard classes. There are a few free classes. I don’t see that one yet.
is it online?
https://pll.harvard.edu/course/american-government-constitutional-foundations
Thanks, Jerri!
I heard it was supposed to be online. I don’t think it has begun yet and I would like to find out as well more. I’m wondering if one calls Harvard if we could get that information I would think it will probably be news though.
Just Google free Harvard courses
https://pll.harvard.edu/course/american-government-constitutional-foundations . Just got this link . . Class starts today 5-28, online, self-paced, ends Sept.... I think there's a fee; check it out.
He is so full of crap
Two weeks my dying ass. Lmao. Shithead.
trumplethinskin is looking pretty frustrated about questions based in reality. Unhinged liar.
Donable Lector has no fc#king clue what reality is......bullshit..ripping people off and orange make up are his reality show.
Don’t call him Mr President. Call him tRump
I will never put the P in front of the T 😏
When will the rest of the USA wake to the fact they elected a sociopath lunatic that has to 86NOW, and the congressional seats that supported his insanity!
Todd, they will wake up only when his greed, lies and abusiveness personally affect them. Quite a few are already experiencing it. Listen to some of the irate people that voted for him in these town hall meetings. They voted for this criminal.
MISTAKE
Smirks all around
Pirro seems to have the smug smirk down pat.
Apparently she is only "interim" ?? Is there a bigger plan?
Pirro's interim appointment was due to the unexpected vacancy created by the previous nominee's withdrawal
Just wait for two weeks!! 😡
There always is.....
“TACO Trade”!! That’s good, surprised the reporter had the guts to ask the question! Poor thing will probably be fired later today!
Dumpy is ALWAYS an embarrassment, doesn’t matter what he’s doing, talking (lying), walking (shuffling), sitting (sleeping), eating (ugh! I’d rather not think about that!).
He’s a skank 100%, 24/7.
The sooner his arteries choke up the better.
Donnie 2-doll is TACO-trading..... luv it.
It’s not fair to allow a man go without treatment when you know he is insane.
Scary. He should not be on the streets
What an abject moron! 🤡
We are in an abusive relationship with the potus. Of course he wanted to isolate us.
UHHHH YEAH HUGE CHICKEN 🐔 SHIT
Ah, please don't disparage chicken shit, at least it makes gardens grow. His is more like diseased rat shit which is of no value.
And they still keep saying Biden was diminished? This idiot can’t even make it up to the level of diminished (which by the way Biden wasn’t). The silence from the right is deafening.
How can the airplane be free when it's going to cost a billion dollars to retrofit it and they probably make one at Boing cheaper. Then saying that it's not his plane. I hope that the next administration makes that statement come true.
He doesn’t even realize that there are limited places that plane can land. It needs a lot more runway than many airports have. Wouldn’t it be lovely if it couldn’t land near his golf courses.
The US hasn't seen the money. Evidently it went into trump's pocket.
This toddler in chief needs to be kept in his play pen. Everytime he opens his mouth it is a disaster.
He’s simply a complete and utter disaster!
that's on a good day..
Daily occurrence.
What is the deal with MAGA women wearing way too much makeup? (Not to mention the lip fillers and plastic surgery) So distracting! Maybe that is the point! Maybe to hide their true identity? I don't know, the most bizarre explanation is probably not as crazy as the truth.
With all the Botox flowing within the MAGA women, they certainly won't need embalming fluid when they die! True beauty comes from within!
Reporters aren’t afraid of him anymore.
Go for the jugular, guys.
He is absolutely delusional!
I wish a reporter would have asked, "Is the $5.1 Trillion you brought back from the Middle East in the treasury now?"
Frontotemporal dementia with his growing speech issues. It only gets worse. Exponentially. Watch.
Complete Blithering Idiot!
He lives in a fantasy world in his own head that has no bearing on reality.
Oh Lordy!
I usually do not watch your videos, I listen to you on podcasts, but I decided to watch this one.
What a great video and analysis Ben, you really out did yourself.
But on the other hand you had so much material to work with with Trumps complete nonsense, you could hardly miss.
What a slimy, pathetic, lying, snake in the grass shit talking pus filled boil on the ass of society. Why hasn’t somebody punched his stupid face in?
The little orange man is deranged
He reminds me of a Jr high student trying to give an oral book report when they only read the first page of each chapter😂
Oh boo hoo cry baby. Barron didn't get into three top universities... including Harvard and Columbia!!
He is a coward!
Just another day of Trump stupid day. Wait till tomorrow. He will be just as Stupid and lying more than today. Meidas folks have a nice day 💙. And thanks Ben ❤️.
I'm telling you it's not just Trump making these decisions as to why he doesn't recall what visas he wants to recall from foreign students.
Who is that $5.1 TRILLION DOLLARS for? Is it in the treasury? If they gave us $5.1 TRILLION DOLLARS, why are we cutting Medicaid, Medicare, SNAP, USAID, Meals on Wheels, etc. etc. etc.? Or is that $5.1 trillion just for the orange twatwaffle and his billionaire buddies?
The Air Force should use the airplane as target practice!! It's the AF's airplane now
Way to go America! So furious with the U.S. allowing this Fool to roam freely, unattended - when clearly he should be in a MEMORY CARE Facility!
He’s hallucinating. Wait until he sees the spiders.
Please stop babbling!!!!
I simply don’t understand why NO ONE calls bullshit to his face. Mr Trump, how can you claim you brought back trillions from the Middle East, when the number you gave is higher than all three countries GDPs combined? The people of this country also want to know why you are doing the opposite of what you promised you’d do for them if elected. Eggs have not come down in price, they’ve gone up. Groceries are still getting more expensive. Oil is not $1.88 a gallon. You’ve destroyed everyone’s 401ks and investments. You’ve not only destroyed the lives of federal workers and veterans by firing them and closing facilities, but hard working Americans are losing their jobs, their farms, their homes, their retirements, and soon to be health insurance. Companies are downsizing in fear of what you will do next in one of your unhinged tantrums. And your Memorial Day post and behavior in speeches over the weekend and leaving before shaking hands with all the West Point graduates just further proves how much you disrespect the military. At least that move of leaving early probably did the grads a favor since they are preparing to defend our country from foreign and domestic threats like YOU.
If only they could get these words out like that. If only his gaslighting Press Secretary could honestly answer just one question without grasping her cross necklace and going into the SHAME on you bit she does when cornered. How dare you even ask that about our Emperor!! He would NEVER take any money or profit from ANYTHING while in office! You should be ashamed of yourself!!
All I fantasize about is putting duct tape over her mouth when I see her.
How do they have supporters? What kind of fucked up world are they living in? Deep red states use a crazy amount of welfare. I think opinions will change when the Bubbas and BobbyJos have to leave their trailers and get jobs to pay for their groceries, while trying to figure out what 2+1 is so they can homeschool their 8.5 kids since there won’t be public education anymore. It’s gonna suck when they can’t afford their Die-a-bee-tus medication or to see a doctor without Medicaid insurance. No more gas vouchers to drive to Walmart. No more free food and cash. What will they do without their scratchers and cigarettes?
When that happens, and things directly affect MAGA, then there will be an impeachment. They fantasize that they are personally loved by their Shepard and he can do no wrong. Just wait until he signs an executive order to wear their crosses upside down.
We are trying to move to Portugal. I wish I knew people there who could help with a visa. My husband was just laid off after 13 years at a major tech company. He was a senior manager in tech, and won their most prestigious award last year for implementing an international system that upped this corporations game immensely. They had a 25% financial gain since. Then Trump does his tariff bullshit and DHS/ICE harassing travelers, and this company panics, and lays off everyone in their global finance and payment systems secretly. The email to directors had what they called a “script” to stick to, and by 1pm same day, they locked everyone out of their laptops. This email said to not talk to the media or anyone about it. Why? They moved that entire department to India to save money. He didn’t even get a thank you. He was just a number though, since his upper management found out after he did.
With the expected windfall of DHS and ICE going through phones at airports, holding reporters and innocent travelers at a detention facility, people are afraid to travel. We have two International events coming to the US and I guarantee it will be a low turnout.
I literally can’t wait to move before I have to wear an armband.
All I have to say is "OMG"!!!!!!!! Will the insanity ever stop??????
Keep making the TACO angry. One day, one day, POW.
Just die already
MTN is the best!
It’s settled the man is off his meds.
The rambling is so rediculous
Stone cold dead! 🤣
You always tell us the truth knowing every time Trump opens his mouth , he is lying!!! Thanks!!!
And the beat goes on!
What is wine box doing in the background?
Compare this blubbering idiot compared to the prime minister of Canada and king Charles..
I cannot stand listening to him. He's hideous.
It's blubbering idiocy at its finest...and his followers seem to "connect" with this blundering fruit cake.
We had the best economy in the world before he took over!
TACO is such a big beautiful word…and it clearly hits a nerve w/ 47. Hammer it like a nail….over and over and over and over….
We are losing some very intelligent young people because of his decisions. I guess he wants us to be less intelligent than other countries. It’s so sad. 😞
Canadian. I wish that these so called reporters or journalists, would just plain fact check Trump. Stop pussy-footing around with him. Get a backbone!
Please put crazy Grandpa in the home.
Day one,two weeks, 60 days ,90 days , concepts of a plan , I’m working on it ……a con man has an endless stream of bullshit while driving his “TACO” truck around the WH
It's called FUTURE FAKING. It's what Narcissists do. False promises. Ppl buy it b/c they want it to be true.
Harvard is doing the right thing fighting against your F’n tyranny! Damn treasonous Bas****!
Thanks for reporting on what I can’t stand to watch!! Keep it up!
As usual he is spewing complete nonsense. He can’t stop sounding stupid
Has Pirro been vetted by the Senate? How can he be swearing her in?
How long till he’s drooling?
It's already happening. "gen 9"? Then he keeps rambling to distract everyone that he can't speak...
"This press conference was one long, painful reminder of what we are fighting against.". ...who is fighting against the racism and fascism ? From where I'm watching, there's no one fighting back. No one.
Remedial math at Harvard will consist of In Depth Intro to Functions and Calculus. Not 2+2=4.
He doesn’t even know how to pronounce antisemitic! He pronounces it antisemEtic. The Dumbass-in-Chief.
Was Jeanine Pirro sworn in with her hand on a box of Merlot? I couldn’t tell.
Can’t make uneducated to be educated if they don’t want to believe
Thanks for continuing to provide real news!
I will gladly pay you next week for today’s cheeseburger.
Don't you mean in this case "two weeks". 😅
Or never!
Tariffs aren't as high as Trump is.
Trump’s “Work” since he has was inaugurated has mostly been making life miserable to anyone who has ever disagreed with him publicly and holding dinners and lunches to those who pay him BIG Bucks. What does he do for the average person? Think about it! Tell us!
Don't think your son knows how much 2 and 4 is. He's so angry because Baron didn't get accepted. Harvard is exceptional and above reproach. That's more than likely why they didn't accept his son. They figured (wisely) that the Dumpster would expect to be "paid back" in some big way. Also, he definitely wan't qualified.
How do these journalist stand there and listen to lie after lie after lie? I would have to scream at that man you are a fucking liar and walk out of that room. I don’t care if I lost my job over it.
The Republicans know this man has gone back to his second childhood. They laughing at him behind his back.
I cannot listen to this narcissistic drugged piece of shit😡😡😡
Why do the MAGA faithful believe this 💩? Are they really that gullible?
The MSM should be utterly ashamed of themselves because they do not make ANY effort to call him out when he babbles this nonsense.
Apparently the jury of the kidnappers peers didn’t feel they got railroaded. End of story if you adhere to what used to be justice in this country.
I can't even stand to hear his voice anymore, the most incompetent president in the history of the US.
"Two-Week Taco" at it again!
Well done! We all have our terms for the lunatic in the White House. From Bandy X. Lee to Mary Trump, we have all the signs of malignant ignorance and incompetence "informing" the running of our country. Ride him off on rails, with all his clown show, and let's get back to rebuilding a better country -- without the goddamed Confederacy lurking in the woodwork. Land of the free and home of the brave!
If you were listening to the beginning of the press conference the orange menace actually was coherent and stayed on point. He was NOT a blathering idiot. He did not look like he was demented. Which is my point. Part of his ‘crazy’ is an act. A distraction, a media manipulation, a shiny object squirrel.
Another part of ‘his public persona crazy’ is not even of his own thinking or doing. It’s the traitors, the useful idiots, and other grifters around him feeding him the scripts of evil EO’s to enact. Why? To cover and distract, as the family and special friends grift.
And they will do anything to get this CR budget bill through. Because then it is ‘game set match’ for democracy.
Since he said what we do today is prosecute fake criminals - does that mean that all the people he is having or trying to have prosceuted are fake criminals? This time he didn't say that's what Biden did. Donnie, I think you just told on yourself and we all heard it.
I took that comment as he was thinking about himself and how he’d been prosecuted wrongly. That said, who knows what he actually meant.
Maybe I misunderstood the remark.
I doubt it! Am guessing we all kinda put our own spin on stuff from him given our own history, experience with ppl like him, etc, etc. He may well have been doing a self-own. Hard to say with him and very much doubt he’d clarify. Hell, he probably doesn’t even remember saying it let alone recall what he might have meant! Sadly.
He wants respect, but there’s literally nothing to respect.
Jeanine Pirro Bwahahahahahahhahaahhaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahaahhahaahahahahahahahahaha between her, Bimbo Bondi, Puppy Murderer Noem, and that thing he calls a press secretary (I call her Sparkly Barbie Himmler) we are well on our way down the garbage chute. Who RAISED these twatwaffles?!!!!? They should be horsewhipped.
You’re treating our country and people with no respect!
I just can't watch this much of Trump. He's obviously cognitively challenged, mean and stupid. I turn off if there's too many clips of Trump or Leavitt.
Agree
WTF. He has totally lost it
Thanks, Ben. Good info. I bet it's hard for you to watch Trump's "press conferences." I find when I'm watching MSNBC, for example, and they show a clip of him saying something ridiculous or offensive, I just mute it. Anyway, to your point on Trump not even seeming to know about stopping student visas when it's his own policy. I believe it's because he doesn't run the White House or the government. I think he lets his loyalists run wild and do anything they want to - making it up as they go along, breaking laws and tenets of the Constitution in the meantime. Then he can rightfully claim he doesn't know anything about this or that new rule.
What a tool, same with that goul behind him.
What happened to him ending it day 1
What the fuck is he even prattling on about?!!
There is only so much lying one person can listen to - 10 years worth has caused an allergic reaction.
Jeanine Piro is smiling in the background.
That's a smile? Won't she crack something?
Jeanine Pirro can hardly contain her laughter
He needs to get the f*** out of our country I am so done with him and his f****** lies constantly. He doesn't deserve to live I'm sorry but that's true
Trump’s idea of work is trying to get rid of anyone who crosses him. Also, he spends lots of time on Truth Social bashing and trashing. Also, he plays lots of golf
So, tell me what Trump is doing for the average man and woman? Is he insuring that we all have proper access to health. Is he championing public school for all? Is he allowing women to have power over their bodies? Is he providing food at school for those who can’t
afford it. Is he providing necessary infrastructure. Is he providing day care those who need to have two incomes.
WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING?
If Harvard is a disaster then why are you so angry that your little fascist Barron didn't get admitted?
He’s fabricating as he doesn’t remember what he said previously. Liars should keep notes
What a dipshit Cheeto TACO embarASSment! 🤣🤣🤣
It’s all so absurd. I can’t remain in a cortisol spike every day. It’s actually very destructive to your health. I’m just going to keep myself balanced by reminding myself that he can’t really touch me where “I live”. He can’t touch what I value.
“The Light shines in the darkness, and the dark has not overcome it.” ~ John 1:5
Thank you for shining the light on his evil
doings, exposing it, and telling the truth about it.
We shall overcome 🎶
We shall overcome 🎶
We shall overcome someday 🎶
His answers are not making any sense. Man this guy sounds like a stroke victim. Total word salad. and everything is Biden's fault. Idiot!
Lmao tell us more about how Harvard has been a disaster you fuckwit demented moron
He’s scary — unconscious & self revealing.
Omg, He makes his own comedy series . 🤡
We don't trust Trump at all. Impeach for mental illness.
Can he say railroaded again please. I didn’t hear him. Omg he is such a goddamn embarrassment.
Aren’t those press conferences a waste of time with the rich 🤑 OLD chronic liar 🤥 unAmerican terrorist leader 🏴☠️ unhinged stupid felon bully 💪 jerk?🤪( Putin is ridiculing Trump flaunting Melania’s skin flick pics to the world online. 😂 ) Respect? Ha! 🙄
If we want WORK for us, Trump will not provide it.
I am a 79 year old Grandmother with 6 grandchildren ages 15-21. I want them to have the same FREEDOM as adults as I did. I suspect there are many parents and grandparents…and others who feel the same way but don’t have the time. I have the time as I am retired.
For the past 18 months, I have spent 4-5 hours a day, researching Trump and sharing my thoughts. Besides, I have despised Trump since the 1970s when my friend ‘s brother was stiffed by Trump as he helped build the Trump Tower. He quit because he needed money for college. Since that time, I have followed Trump’s huge criminal life. I promise that I will never lie here on purpose!
You don’t listen to him he said when he first came in on give me 24 hours and that’ll be it. It’ll be over in 24 hours. Nothing happened then here a while ago he met with one of them with Putin. I think it was still not over so you can’t go by what he says.
He’s very insecure- When are they going to learn not to antagonize him. It just makes him more reckless with our country and our economy. We need to be smarter.
He is a total idiot!!
Thought stupid tRump was going to end the Ukrainian war in 1 day.
I often make comments that while all the info reported is true and scary it doesn't matter since the GOP will do nothing. But perhaps something is being done/there are some consequences....when the WSJ starts using unflattering nicknames for someone I do think that is something. I have to believe that not every single member of the GOP congress is making money from the ups and downs of the stock markets and/or the crypto schemes and there may be one or two who actually use competent economic advisors to help them manage their retirement accounts, and I am pretty sure that competent economic advisors rely more on what the WSJ has to say than what Leavitt or trump has to say. I hope those one or two members are very very concerned about their retirement accounts, like the rest of America. The fact that they are all fine with the pay a bribe and you get a pardon scheme makes me think, no there is not even one who finds anything trump does concerning.
Trump lies MONEY MONEY MONEY. Think he wants to use it for you and me?????👏😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫
Trump's KGBff is playing him like a 5 clown fiddle.
I Love TRUTH and Hate LIES. I guess that means I don’t tolerate Trump.
47s true colors.
His presence is nauseating - when he opens his mouth is vomit-ville!
“No checks, no balances, we just sent cash”
Tell us that checks and balances are on your mind, and also that you don’t know what anything means.
TACO trade. What a yellow toddler!! He needed to go now!!!
Can the President be supenoed?
Trump can't keep up our answer a few simple questions
Thank you for being our Fair Witness. Every day is more terrifying than the one before. We are indeed the laughingstock of the world because of that demented crook, not to mention the ruination being wreaked on every institution we Americans hold sacred. We've no choice but to hit the streets in massive civil force on June 14th! This is OUR NATION! Be there!
Trump is building his army of thugs, one at a time
I cannot listen to his voice anymore. He disgusts me to my core. He says stupid crap all the time, and pointing it out, for some reason, does nothing to change anything. It's been 10 years time for a different approach. Once the "believers" are in the coma, it's unlikely they will ever come out of it. Stopping new/independent voters from falling asleep in the first place is a better way. Of course, msm has a role to play as well and they are failing miserably. Grateful for yours and other independent news. MTN podcasts are in my library. Now, if only I had enough hours in the day to get to all of them.
Def my fav quote of the day: like an unfunny comedy sketch written by someone who just discovered caffeine and fascism at the same time.
I almost can't bear to read any more about him. He is fucking insane.
Let us know when half of America stops believing his bullshit.
Thanks to Meidas Touch for perusing, fact checking and rebutting all of DT's false claims. (I have not been watching Fox Entertainment for several years and will not watch it in the future.) I prefer others dissect the highlights of his ramblings for me. Definitely cannot stomach the smiling Karoline Leavitt, or any of the cast of ex-Fox characters either. I wish MAGAs could tear themselves away from their faux news reports and witness factual reporting. Please keep up the good work Meidas Touch.
External revenue service!! 😂😂😂😂😂
He said (tariffs are a) tax then desperately said tariff after
Trump lies daily. Why do Trump’s followers like his lying.??????? Are they just chicken????
A media organisation that would add “FACT CHECK” subtitles would have my eyeballs
fuck Trump
They called, now you know tRump is lying
Look at new fox entertainer in the back.
He always manages to make the conversation about HIM
He's self-delusional
What a dipshit.
He's such a dick. The nasal sound gets on my nerves
A presidency that will live in infamy.
Two weeks, Donnie John. Always Two weeks. Just about now, many of us fear that 2 weeks is how long the usa will survive.
What will it take for the revolution to begin???
I wish mad magazine was still in print .....
And, you know he's already been asked and answered the question about whether he will pardon Sean Combs, who is presently on trial. His answer: I'll have to look in on it.
This is so sick it's funny, or so funny it's sick. Can't tell which. Wake me up when this is over . . .
The allusion to "someone who just discovered caffeine and fascism at the same time" cracked me up so bad I had a hard time reading the rest of the column. We WILL survive, I'm sure of it. I'm just not sure how.
TACO is PERFECT!
Every day a new embarrassment. Sad for the country, but hilarious pointing it out to the more ons who voted for Trump. Too bad we're ALL being punished. All turds should be flushed away.
More on morons every day. Oy vey.
When they call for a presser to spout off bullshit no one should show up !
Thanks Ben for this great show of DT ‘press conference’ what a sh*t show! If the press would call a moratorium on going to the WH then DT would have no ‘theater’ to show how demented he is. Although, I do think it would be a good idea for the press to do so, as it would prevent them ‘whitewashing’ DT’s comments and lies! And notice Jeanine Pirro standing there stone faced as if she might be thinking ‘what have I gotten myself into?’ Well, JP, you will be going down with the rest of the regime when the bottom falls through! Keep up the good work MeidasTouch Network!
“Some people said STUPID things” (trump)🤣🤣🤣🤣
Anyone else notice when he was talking about the EU tariff, he first said TAX! He told on himself, didn't he...
He will be golfing again in two weeks.
You're right it was all word salad and lies! The world is watching and they are stunned by how you allowed this idiot become President! The USA is longer part of the free world. They can no longer be taken seriously, he's making your country a joke! Republicans if you want your respect back then you ABSOLUTELY have to get him to RESIGN. There isn't country in the world that isn't laughing at him including PUTIN. Damn it's embarrassing to watch.
Screw the right wing people who are harassing you and your family and thus Substack. You are a rock star and that’s that.
Future faking. I'll have it done on day one. In two weeks. When I talk to him. It'll be great. Fake, fake, fake.
Is future faking a real thing?
Future faking is a manipulative tactic often used in relationships where someone makes exaggerated promises about a shared future — such as talking about moving in together, marriage, or other major commitments — without any genuine intention of making those promises a reality.Oct 23, 2024
Keep spreading the word, Ben. You are doing such a great job!
He nearly gave the meeting date as J'nine.
Hey, Stupid--it IS your airplane.
POTUS Munchausen lashes out at a nasty (woman, of course) reporter who was merely doing her job and providing us with a much-needed Schadenfreude break. Anyone up for a dose of Factitious Disorder? We have TACOs with that.
The energizer bunny. Just can’t stop.
The Dictator Criminal Orange Buffoon Goon Deranged Psycho just can't stand the thought that he's not in charge. He isn't as far as the European countries are concerned. they have to keep an eye on what he's doing, of course, but they don't REALLY care WHAT he thinks.
OMG! What a shit show. Never ends.
At this point, I don’t know what else to say about this shit show of a federal government we have… lies, corruption, hypocrisy, it’s all just so overwhelming to not tunes the garbage out but we need to to beat this crap…
Omg can he stop fucking lieing 🤬
"TWO WEEK TRUMP". He uses "2 weeks" often. He's been using it for about a decade with the "concept of a plan" for health care.
Good idea, Ellen. Maybe he could learn something from the "Goofus & Gallant" cartoon (if they still publish those).
Narcissist separate people that’s why he is separating this country from the rest of the world. This is a horrible situation and nobody in this country has the balls to stand up to that piece of shit.
We are trying by protesting and boycotting but the power is in huge numbers! It’s difficult to get those numbers when people are fighting every day to survive.
Everything takes two weeks, but then never happens.... I wish his Presidency would be over in two weeks.
“Two weeks “ this sounds like the Money Pit. Oh yeah, it is.
This is the stupidest man I have ever seen in the Whitehouse, you can't help but laugh at some of the things he says even though it's so sad. Lord help us 🙏🙏
How do you know he's lying... he is speaking.
I’m still waiting for an answer to my question: Can we, and why not launch a class action lawsuit against DJT and his entire cabinet for high crimes and misdemeanors against the USA⁉️ I mean, there have been SO MANY laws broken by this regime, we should start trying to hold them accountable NOW‼️
Taco Don doesn't like his new nickname😂.
TACO - I love it! Gives a whole new meaning to Taco Tuesday!
Trump is a little fat liar!!
Who even knows what he talks about, no sense at all !
Your semantics are filled with true data and events. You use insightful piercing satire, and overall you are the best site I ever read about a deep dive into what is happening in America. I am 86, retired, a lifelong democrat, and a believer in your political analysis

Harvard? Disrespecting??
Wanted to watch all of this, but just could not listen to his B.S.. Dispicable!!
it is hardly bearable to hear and read all the insults and slanders - not only from the President but also from Meidas and other medias as well (even Rachel Maddow is sometimes swearing). As an old european lady, i am just not used to this unrespectful tone on all sides. is it really not possible to not adopt the foul language of the opponent? Maybe I am too old and or too european... but:
i very much appreciate all the labour and work that it is done to hold on to democracy in the USA. because what happens there will soon be here....and i am not sure if the "strongholds of democray" here would last very long.
And they said Harris talked like a "word salad"... this is a blabbing fruit cake!!!
Another alcoholic great
She won’t last
She won’t get confirmed
What with Harvard and remedial math?
That comment since shown, should have been followed up on
SCARY! Idiots in charge! What about the cocaine found in the White House?
🍊 Moron is fucked
TACO MAN
He’s just rambling all over the place. Trump is such a loser.
