SPEAKER 3
Donald Trump attended a Department of Justice press conference that was supposed to be about fentanyl, but Donald Trump hijacked it to talk about persecuting people. Here's what Donald Trump said.

SPEAKER 1
People you don't even want to know about. But as many of you do know, well, we're focused on persecuting. And these people were really focused on persecuting Republicans, the last administration.

SPEAKER 3
Yep. This press conference at the DOJ was supposed to be about Pam Bondi and Donald Trump talking about confiscating fentanyl. Attorney General Pam Bondi brought fake packages of fentanyl. More on that in a bit. But Donald Trump hijacked this thing for himself. And then he started talking about how he believes CNN and MSNBC are illegal.

Trump Hijacks DOJ Presser and Goes Nuts

A press conference that was supposed to be about stopping the flow of fentanyl turned into a deranged tirade from a criminal obsessed with revenge.
715

Trump showed up at what was supposed to be a Department of Justice press conference on fentanyl and hijacked the event, turning it into a full-blown pity party — whining about the media, fantasizing about persecuting his political enemies, praising January 6 insurrectionists, and ranting about “groceries.” Yes, really.

This was supposed to be about cracking down on fentanyl. Instead, Trump marched into the sacred halls of the DOJ — a building he should be nowhere near as a convicted felon — and made it all about him. First, he started ranting about how Republicans are being "persecuted," then launched into a totally unhinged attack claiming CNN and MSNBC are illegal. Illegal! That’s not how the First Amendment works, but when has Trump ever cared about the Constitution?

Then, in what can only be described as full-blown authoritarian projection, Trump bragged that he should get more credit for pardoning January 6 terrorists — calling them "political prisoners." This man stood in the DOJ building and celebrated pardoning the people who violently attacked the Capitol and tried to end democracy.

He then name-checked people like Marc Elias — a lawyer who fights to protect voting rights — and called them "bad people" for defending the Constitution. That tells you everything you need to know about where Trump stands.

And of course, no Trump appearance is complete without his obsession with crowd sizes. Yes, he bragged about the turnout at a DOJ press conference. The narcissism is bottomless.


Remember to add the MeidasTouch Podcast on audio on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.


He lied — again — about the 2020 election, called it “rigged and crooked,” and said the people responsible should be jailed. He then proudly said one of the greatest moments of his life was firing FBI Director James Comey. Imagine thinking that was your life’s peak achievement.

But it got worse.

Trump bragged about revoking security clearances for prosecutors like Special Counsel Jack Smith and state AGs like Alvin Bragg and Letitia James — as if that’s some sort of win. He then rambled about liking the word “groceries” because it’s “old-fashioned.” Huh?

He lavished praise on Judge Aileen Cannon — the same corrupt Trump-appointed judge who just dismissed the classified documents case in a stunning abuse of power — and claimed it might be illegal for anyone to criticize her. That’s not how the law works, but Trump doesn’t care about law; he only cares about protecting himself.

He went on to suggest that the media criticizing him should be illegal and accused the New York Times and others of being part of a conspiracy to “convict Trump.” It’s total projection. The guy who tried to overturn an election, attacks judges and their families, and threatens the media, is accusing others of corruption — it’s laughable if it weren’t so dangerous.

Then Trump got to the fascist cherry on top: He promised “far-reaching investigations” into his political opponents and vowed to “expel rogue actors” from government — meaning anyone who dares to hold him accountable. His vision isn’t law and order. It’s dictatorship.

Oh, and let’s not forget Attorney General Pam Bondi standing next to him with fake fentanyl props. Just like her fake Epstein binder stunt, this was all just political theater — staged distractions while Trump spewed bile and lies.

At one point, Trump actually said, “There could be no more heinous betrayal of American values than to use the law to terrorize the innocent and reward the wicked.” That’s rich coming from the man who incited an insurrection, stole classified documents, and is now promising to use the DOJ as his personal revenge tool.

A felon. A sexual abuser. Spewing lies inside the DOJ.

This wasn’t just inappropriate — it was one of the darkest, most disturbing moments in the history of the Department of Justice.

But we cannot be numb to it. We have to keep fighting back, exposing the truth, and holding the line for democracy.

Trump’s threats to prosecute the media don’t scare us one bit. Donald, if you think you can shut us up here at the MeidasTouch Network, you will have to rip this microphone out of my hands.

Let me post this once more. Trump is completely deranged but before he had advisors reeling him in. They are GONE and now he likely has advisors pushing him and congratulating his crazy so he'll get even more unhinged, so they can then rip him out for being dangerous and incompetent in order to replace him with Vance:

I did not write this:

"Elon Musk and Peter Thiel cofounded a company that became PayPal.

Other executives at PayPal went on to found or lead other huge tech companies including YouTube, LinkedIn, Reddit, Affirm, and many VC firms.

This group became known as the PayPal mafia because they basically controlled Silicon Valley.

Peter Thiel mentored a young JD Vance and helped him get set up in his first VC firm.

Peter Thiel and the PayPal mafia funded JD Vance's successful Senate run. Amazing because he had absolutely zero political experience.

Thiel and Musk all but forced Trump to choose JD Vance as VP in exchange for funding his presidential campaign.

The three of them, plus a lot of other tech billionaires subscribe to an ideology called the Dark Enlightenment espoused by this super weird, creepy dude: Curtis Yarvin aka Mencius Moldbug.

Yarvin preaches that the media and academia represent "The Cathedral" that secretly controls power and must be dismantled.

He advocates for a corporate run, monarchy, led by a CEO-Dictator. If Trump is gone from office, perhaps by Vance organizing a 25th Amendment removal due to claims about Trump’s cognitive decline, Vance moves in and that process begins.

Remember, it was just a couple of years ago when Musk said Trump was too old to even be a CEO, let alone the president.

Yarvin says that Democracy is an "outdated software" and openly opposes it and that:

- Government agencies should be dismantled and The U.S. should be broken up into "patchworks" controlled by tech oligarchs.

- That the elite tech billionaires should rule because they have the intelligence to "fix" society

- That the "masses are asses" too dumb to govern themselves.

The strategy is to gut the government via R.A.G.E - Retire All Govt Employees to make government incapable of operating.

Then to replace government with private corporations.

To eliminate elections because they are "obsolete"

To use distraction and chaos to prevent public resistance.

Trump is their useful tool to be disposed of as soon as they can wrest control.

This is why Elon wears a black MAGA hat. They are not Trump supporters, they are "Dark MAGA"

This isn't a hypothetical. The plan is already in motion:

- Musk, Thiel, and their network are actively dismantling democratic institutions.

- JD Vance, the “MAGA heir,” is being positioned to help implement this transition.

- The public is too distracted to realize what’s happening.

- If successful, democracy in America will be permanently replaced by a corporate-run authoritarian state."

Yes. you got it, but it runs even deeper. There are a good number of international members involved. If we don't stand up and let these asses know we will not be governed by them...which means we take care of ourselves and tell them to f off, then we will be living in that 1984 reality.

There is even more to this that we do not know yet. It's deep and dark.

We can overcome this, but we can't do it divided.

We must become united in our revolution. France left us a blueprint. And in WWII they hung the Italian one. We have models...we are not powerless and we have way more power than they know. Look at how we have used our money to hurt their empires already.

Don't give up. Don't give in. They want us to suffer.

They won't win if we don't give up and don't give in.

Some of us are old, but that just gives us more power. Over my dead body...I'm done with their idea that they can control and use us like their pawns. I know how to do without, to grow a garden and help my neighbors get through this. We all do.

You’ve expressed my hunches exactly, thank you Carla, you rock!

We have no idea what really goes on in government, and who exactly is running (and ruining) this one. We know he is a puppet. We know there are nefarious players.

I also agree that we MUST take care of ourselves and each other at this grassroots level. We cannot allow them to divide us. This is their power. Our power is like you say, collectively.

They DO want us to suffer and they delight in it. That is their playbook, to hurt us. Why? Insanity, greed, power, control, all illusions!

We may be older, those of us who’ve been through other revolutions like Cambodia, Vietnam, Kent State, MLK, Civil Rights. If we have to lead the way again so be it.

Yes we will grow our gardens and give our extra food and help those who need help. We do know how to do it, and most of us are unwilling to be controlled.

Over my dead body indeed, and over my still breathing one.

Onward! We are the ones we’ve been waiting for; the revolution is here and it is us.

I agree completely. This has been actually a very cunning takeover started long ago with the self proclaimed, “elite tech bros” of Silicon Valley. Theil, Yarvin, Vought, and yes our super duper Musk all worked together at various companies. Yarvin is anti-democracy. Theil mentored Vance and got him elected in Ohio without ever having leadership experience. Vought now is head of Office management and Budget. Vought is a core author of, Project 2025. They call it, Dark MAGA. Musk even called it that when he was on stage at one of the campaign rallies. Thus the black hat and clothing.

Honestly this is even deeper...it started with Bush and maybe even Nixon. I don't know, but it's been a long term plan to be in control.

The GOP has been working on their crazy gerrymandering, putting in judges and suppressing the vote for a long time now. They have had a plan before the internet existed, in their back rooms, to hold power. It's so much darker than we can imagine right now.

But we need to do everything we can. Learn from history...the leaders like MLK and those who stood up then, Vietnam.

And vow to take care of each other. We MUST end this division.

The energy is not supporting the darkness any longer. Secrets will be unveiled, but we are at that crossroads of submission or resisting.

Trickle down didn't even get us damp. Wages were stagnant while goods and housing cost more. Minimum wage has been a joke for many years.

I think a big blow was also when we made corporations "people". And lobbyists...I am sure there is a ton of corruption there...$$$. This is not the democracy the founders envisioned. Nor should it be. There's a lot to fix. First we have to hit the streets and survive all the $ increases. Help each other...power of the people will win if we work together.

Agree!! Totally! Yes, you are so right about making corporations people. That is not unlike when I was advocating early on (2011) to end solitary confinement, chickens and cattle had more rights than human beings.

I've spent 15 years in California's carceral system, 12 as a wife but I'm still an activist. Met head on so many lobbyists and learned the corruption of special interest groups. I have stories ... yeah.

We actually have quite a few incredibly honest and viable legislators who truly represent the power and voice of the people. I did so much work across races and economics and we were successful in many prison reforms and human rights. But I'm afraid the hypocrisy in government screams loud.

The sad thing is there is so much abundance in our country, in our world, plenty for all. But not for the greedy who don't want to share. So we have to take care of our own, which is the other 99%.

Divide and conquer is their playbook, but we are refusing. The protest movement is gaining traction and momentum. And it is vast and global. Fasten that seat belt, I'm right next to you!

We set the bar really, really low in Ohio senate races. Makes no difference whatsoever that Junior Donald Vance had NO prior experience and still won the election. Last November Ohio voters elected a new Republicon Senator, Bernie Moreno, a former used car salesman who, like Junior Donald, had NO prior political experience. . Moreno was bankrolled by billionaires, including the family that owns the KC Chiefs. (So happy the Eagles won the Super Bowl.). Moreno beat beloved multi-term Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown. How did Moreno do it? Used Trump's playbook of hatred and fear targeting immigrants and transgender people. We are going backwards.

All well and good, but look what happened today in the CR vote. I believe it was Al Green who introduced the first motion to impeach a week or two ago, and weeks later just look at how many Democratic Representatives voted for censure! None of this is going to happen, unless we start the process now, get these democratic fat cats off their backsides and get the action going and introduce emotion to impeach every effing week until the midterms, if there will even BE midterms!

... and what are we to do THEN, eh?

When are we thinking that protests are going to start in earnest in the streets? Martial law declaration here we come! I've heard about talk among National Guard members that they really would be hesitant to carry out an order to shoot their fellow citizens, UNLESS THEY ARE FIRED UPON FIRST. And then it's guns ablaze. And it wouldn't even take someone on our side of the rationality fence to even fire that first fateful shot, not that we would, all it would take is a provocateur specifically put in place to "provoc."

But I'm not hearing anyone talk rationally about how we deal with this. And we could deal with it before blood runs in the streets by just getting our representatives to get off their asses and start taking real legislative action now. Turn the volume up on Trump so that the attention starts getting turned in the other direction so that they can't legitimately deny Americans the right to vote. Before representative democracy is flushed down Trump's golden toilet. Once that happens, all bets are off.

I was a senior at UW Madison when Kent State, Cambodia and Vietnam War protests shut down so many schools across the country. I remember all of this so very well. We locked arms, all of us across all races and fake divisions and marched to the Wisconsin Capitol building. We were so outraged, and righteous. And we made a difference.

And I’m still waiting for this kind of protest today — but we were more free back then. We fought tear gas yes, but we still had freedom of speech. We fought the cops, yes, but we weren’t being rounded up and deported.

Read Feathers of Hope.

It's all about Republicans. IMHO Putin/Ukraine is the least common denominator, but others love their pork.

Constituents and doners have to pressure them.

E.g. Sen. Mike Rounds, R-S.D., said he thinks Trump has some latitude to pursue trade wars but not at a long-term cost.“Look, this isn’t the way I would do it,” Rounds said of the White House’s tack. “I think they want to try something different than from the previous administration. But they’ve got to show some success fairly quickly.”

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., said Trump’s “dramatic tariffs” on Canada and Mexico “could be devastating to the economy,” including in his home state. “There are stories coming out talking about cars costing $10,000 more. And, of course, we’re worried about bourbon. We want to sell our bourbon. The Canadians are going to block our bourbon,” Paul said. “Now that you add lumber costs to that and steel with tariffs, nobody at home is coming up to me and saying please put tariffs on.”

Republican Sen. Katie Britt has been working to make sure the Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency doesn’t hit what she called “life-saving, groundbreaking research at high-achieving institutions,” including her state’s beloved University of Alabama.

Kansas GOP Sen. Jerry Moran is worried that food from heartland farmers would spoil rather than be sent around the world as the U.S. Agency for International Development shutters.

And Idaho GOP Rep. Mike Simpson warns national parks could be impaired by cutbacks at the start of summer hiring in preparation for the onslaught of visitors.

“We need to have a conversation with DOGE and the administration about exactly what they’ve done here,” said Simpson, a seasoned lawmaker who sits on the powerful Appropriations Committee. “It’s a concern to all of us.”

Other than being just downright evil and uneducated, yes he is. I worked on a final stages Alzheimer's lockdown unit for a nursing home. I also worked for a state mental health hospital. I can tell there's a difference in his behavior since 2016. After the first assassination attempt, he wasn't really out in public. Mini DJT was touring by himself. His first time out with people around, other than golf and tiny towns, was the RNC. If you watch his behavior and responses, he still appeared in traumatized. Anyone getting hurt, or even just having that happen would do it, he was engaging with the audience fine on stage. Once he went to the flor to sit down, he wasn't really paying attention. He wasn't even looking at the stage. I don't think he knew he was on camera. His expression was blank and he was just staring toward the the side of the stage at nothing. Usually, he would have been attentive and truly in his element as the center of attention. These aren't insults, just observations as this was the first time he was out in public after the first assassination attempt. In addition to being shaken up a bit after that attempt once the adrenaline wore off, I think it affected him a bit for it to be a very young man who was a supporter.

Let me post this once more. Trump is completely deranged but before he had advisors reeling him in. They are GONE and now he likely has advisors pushing him and congratulating his crazy so he'll get even more unhinged, so they can then rip him out for being dangerous and incompetent in order to replace him with Vance:

I did not write this:

"Elon Musk and Peter Thiel cofounded a company that became PayPal.

Other executives at PayPal went on to found or lead other huge tech companies including YouTube, LinkedIn, Reddit, Affirm, and many VC firms.

This group became known as the PayPal mafia because they basically controlled Silicon Valley.

Peter Thiel mentored a young JD Vance and helped him get set up in his first VC firm.

Peter Thiel and the PayPal mafia funded JD Vance's successful Senate run. Amazing because he had absolutely zero political experience.

Thiel and Musk all but forced Trump to choose JD Vance as VP in exchange for funding his presidential campaign.

The three of them, plus a lot of other tech billionaires subscribe to an ideology called the Dark Enlightenment espoused by this super weird, creepy dude: Curtis Yarvin aka Mencius Moldbug.

Yarvin preaches that the media and academia represent "The Cathedral" that secretly controls power and must be dismantled.

He advocates for a corporate run, monarchy, led by a CEO-Dictator. If Trump is gone from office, perhaps by Vance organizing a 25th Amendment removal due to claims about Trump’s cognitive decline, Vance moves in and that process begins.

Remember, it was just a couple of years ago when Musk said Trump was too old to even be a CEO, let alone the president.

Yarvin says that Democracy is an "outdated software" and openly opposes it and that:

- Government agencies should be dismantled and The U.S. should be broken up into "patchworks" controlled by tech oligarchs.

- That the elite tech billionaires should rule because they have the intelligence to "fix" society

- That the "masses are asses" too dumb to govern themselves.

The strategy is to gut the government via R.A.G.E - Retire All Govt Employees to make government incapable of operating.

Then to replace government with private corporations.

To eliminate elections because they are "obsolete"

To use distraction and chaos to prevent public resistance.

Trump is their useful tool to be disposed of as soon as they can wrest control.

This is why Elon wears a black MAGA hat. They are not Trump supporters, they are "Dark MAGA"

This isn't a hypothetical. The plan is already in motion:

- Musk, Thiel, and their network are actively dismantling democratic institutions.

- JD Vance, the “MAGA heir,” is being positioned to help implement this transition.

- The public is too distracted to realize what’s happening.

- If successful, democracy in America will be permanently replaced by a corporate-run authoritarian state."

Lies spewed consistently in a matter-of-fact fashion as one long string of never-ending narrative; all of it delivered with perceived sincerity that consistently paints him as a victim to bring sympathy and solidarity.

"[That] tells you everything you need to know about where Trump stands." Most people know where Trump stands. You either like where he stands and what he stands for and vote him into office or you don't. His base loves him, and everything he does is likely to make them love him more until they start suffering from his actions. Even then, if someone they hate -- women, POC, "libs," et al. -- suffers more, they will continue to support him or his surrogates. Until the Blues understand this and address the concerns of everyday Americans with concrete policies, MAGAts will continue to win elections. If there are any more elections . . .

Thank you for reporting on it to us because I just couldn’t drudge up the patience to watch or listen today! I was way too focused on feeling totally betrayed by Chuck Schumer and 9 other senators who decided to do a complete 180 and vote for cloture! I can’t believe that they went against all other house and senate members who were well aware of what we needed them to do…fight! Republicans knew he would cave and he did just that! It’s not a honor to get a congratulatory message on Truth Social from the orange 🍊 nightmare!

You lie, scheme, scam, extort, threaten, bully - that i as illegal and horrific behavior for a president. You do not deserve to be called president.

Impeach him, assassinate him, I don't care - *get rid of him*, for the sake of American democracy, American justice, the American economy, & America's now-shattered international relationships. Do it to save yourselves. Do it to save your country.

He should be incarcerated in a facility for the criminally insane, and you don't have to be a retired psychiatrist, but happen to be just that. He has been allowed by the weak, cowardly Biden administration to continue his coup and faux "alternative" presidency while recruiting a submissive MAGA cult and holding court at Mar-a-Lago.

Trump is more than happy to start a WW3 and then run away, leaving everyone to pay the price for his stupidity.

If and when his money and power get stripped from him, he should get tortured to a slow and painful death so that he can feel what countless other people have gone through. Take all his possessions away and give them to charities and leave him penniless. Then when he begs, everyone can just step on his head and bury him into the ground.

After that, time to target his MAGA buddies and hunt them down and do the exact same fate for them.

Yep. This press conference at the DOJ was supposed to be about Pam Bondi and Donald Trump talking about confiscating fentanyl. Attorney General Pam Bondi brought fake packages of fentanyl. More on that in a bit. But Donald Trump hijacked this thing for himself. And then he started talking about how he believes CNN and MSNBC are illegal.
