Hey Meidas Mighty, I have good news to share with you.
We just got the ratings data from the Trump oligarch inauguration, and the news is terrible for him. And I mean, really terrible.
With only 24 million views across all networks, the Trump inauguration had the worst ratings in modern presidential history.
By contrast, President Biden’s 2021 inauguration had approximately 34 million viewers—10 million more.
Pretty pathetic, Donald.
The Meidas Mighty played a big part in making this happen and humiliating Donald.
I wanted to personally thank you.
The Meidas Mighty led the charge in telling people not to watch the inauguration and to either watch our Puppy and Kitten Inauguration (where we raised approximately $90K for the Humane Society) or watch MLK programming or just go outside and get some fresh air.
We led the boycott against the Trump inauguration.
Trump was already humiliated by the prospect of an embarrassingly small crowd size, so he had to move his speech inside the Capitol Rotunda.
Now, this morning, as you read this, he is finding out that his inauguration ratings were the worst ever.
Get used to it, Donald.
I have no doubt that your presidency will be the worst in American history.
You can try to distract Americans with your bait-and-switch antics, but the MeidasTouch Network and the Meidas Mighty will be here to expose you and your band of MAGA grifters and crooks every single day.
I have more good news to report, Meidas Mighty, that is sure to embarrass Donald…
By the way, I know Donald has his team read this newsletter, so it brings me extra joy to share this here, knowing that they are reading this now.
In the past 24 hours, the MeidasTouch Network YouTube channel has received more YouTube views than Donald Trump’s official presidential channel.
This week, we are beating Trump by over 1 million views per day on YouTube.
Donald, with all your oligarch money, meme-coin money, $60 sticky Bible money, and Trump sneaker money, you are still losing to us.
The MeidasTouch Network is beating you, Donald.
More people would rather listen to us talk about puppies and kittens and goats and coats than watch you, Donald.
How does that make you feel, Donald?
Listen up, Meidas Mighty. I want us to win each day.
I want us to meet the moment each day.
I want us to stand up to Trump each day.
It’s not just about playing defense.
I want us to go on offense every single day against Trump.
The corporate media is utterly pathetic, unwatchable, and mostly unreadable now.
But thankfully, we don’t need them anymore over the next four years.
Thanks to you, they are becoming less relevant each day.
I don’t know about you, but I would much rather read Ron Filipkowski’s daily articles on this Substack and watch MeidasTouch daily programming on YouTube than be anywhere near the stench of the toxic propaganda fluff emanating from oligarch-owned corporate media.
By ensuring Trump’s inauguration was an utter failure, and educating Americans and the world on the fraud that is Donald Trump, this community is making a major impact every single day.
I am more invigorated than ever to be in this fight with you.
The MeidasTouch Network has zero outside investors.
We are 100% independent.
Now is the time we need to grow more than ever.
We have a lot of momentum right now.
If you are not a paid subscriber to this Substack, we hope you will consider becoming one now if you are able to.
You can also gift subscriptions to this Substack to others in your life.
I always feel a bit awkward making a subscriber push at the end of these articles, but I also know it is much, much preferable to having investors or oligarch shareholders tell us what to do.
I truly believe that growing this Substack’s subscribers with a top-notch editorial product is the future of media—without oligarch control.
Please subscribe now if you can.
Congrats on a job well done in making Trump miserable this morning.
Small crowd sizes and small ratings, that's gonna hurt
I wouldn’t care if the puppies and kittens were sleeping, I’d still rather watch them than the useless idiot and his Nazi friends.
Great job. Let’s grow this channel and hit the orange buffoon where it hurts, his hollow head. 💙🇺🇸
