Trump Spit on Our Faces…Ready to CRUSH HIM?!

Written by Ben Meiselas

Hey Meidas Mighty,

I woke up and was starting to feel a little better today after my evacuation from the LA fires.

I am back teaching at USC Law today for the Spring Semester after taking off last semester to be with my wife and baby girl.

I love being a professor. I love to teach.

But when I opened my phone, my mood changed.

Donald Trump posted an AI-generated image of the Hollywood Hills burning with a fake sign that says “Trump Was Right” in place of the iconic Hollywood sign.

Is this sicko seriously trying to make some demented joke about the fires while so many people here in Los Angeles are suffering?

With the winds about to pick up again today and tomorrow, and uncertainty about what we are about to be plunged back into, this sicko-in-chief is reveling in the behavior of an internet troll.

Seriously, what a psychotic human.

Here is what he posted:

And, by the way, it’s not just Trump.

He is just the leader of this parade of terrible people who spread lies about the fire from the moment it started.

In the brief, somewhat-respite (if one can even call it that), between last week’s catastrophe and what may hit us again this week, California Governor Gavin Newsom has done a masterful job hitting back at the lies being spread by Trump, Musk, MAGA politicians, MAGA influencers, and MAGA media.

Last night, Governor Newsom posted a video showing firefighters fact-checking Elon Musk to his face about his lies regarding a “lack of water” to fight the fire.

As Governor Newsom explained, we are essentially dealing with a hurricane made of fire in LA.

Both the State and Feds have marshaled unprecedented resources to deal with these conditions.

This should not be a time to divide us or politicize things.

This should be a time to unite and help.

But Trump and MAGA are not about being helpful. They are built on hate, division, and trolling—not solutions.

It’s pathetic. It’s dangerous.

Well, the MeidasTouch Network and the Meidas Mighty are about solutions.

We’ve built this network with you by our side into a movement to combat and crush Trump and MAGA and their propaganda machine.

We have the truth on our side.

We also have love, respect, empathy, and compassion.

I know those aren’t values that get much play in the media, but here with the Meidas Mighty, those values are our North Star.

It’s in our DNA as the Meidas Mighty.

I am confident that we will prevail in the long run.

Usually, when a President-Elect approaches inauguration, their power grows and popularity soars. This is not the case with Trump. He has gotten weaker. He has broken promise after promise to his voters. His daily behavior exposes him as the pathetic little weak person he is and always will be.

Trump’s efforts to distract us have failed and will continue to fail.

We have been leading the charge here at the MeidasTouch Network reminding the world not to be distracted by this con artist and to focus on his fraud and broken promises.

Look, it pisses me off, and I know it pisses you off too, when Donald Trump makes posts trolling victims of the LA fire.

Frankly, if anyone behaved that way, it would piss me off.

Human beings shouldn’t behave that way, let alone people in leadership positions, let alone the leader of the country.

I always channel these feelings into productive ways, however.

As President Biden told me when I interviewed him a few weeks back in the West Wing of the White House, he said he was a “congenital optimist.”

I share that with President Biden. A real, dignified President.

Except…I have a little twist on a familiar saying:

When Donald Trump goes low, I go…stomping on him with the cold hard truth, I expose him, and then I grow the MeidasTouch Network even bigger.

As Trump attacked us and our hosts in court filings and attacked Los Angeles, we’ve used it as motivation to grow the network with more videos, more hosts, more research, more everything.

Here is some good news.

We just did six days in a row of hitting our Subscriber target on this Substack.

Since we have zero investors and zero shareholders, the way we grow this is through this Substack.

We have heard you loud and clear: STAY INDEPENDENT!

Even if you didn’t tell us that, we wouldn’t want it any other way.

So we grow through increasing subscriptions on this Substack. A very different formula from corporate media.

I have an audacious goal today.

I want to try and add 300 new subscribers today on Substack.

If we hit that, we would have hit our Subscriber goal seven days in a row.

If you aren’t already a paid Subscriber, please consider becoming one now or gifting someone a subscription. Only if you can, of course.

I am going to head to school soon for my first lecture of the semester.

I hope you are enjoying this Substack, the dozens of live shows we produce every week, and the dozens of videos we release every day.

This is all made possible thanks to you.

Thank you, Meidas Mighty.

You know, even writing this with you has put me in a better mood now. I needed this.

Thank you for always being there for me.

Thank you for this wonderful work of this community.

I’ve got your back always.

Have a wonderful day and remember to subscribe if you can.
