Trump Supporters are Accusing me of Treason!!

By Ben Meiselas

I will be brief because what is happening right now tells you everything you need to know about the state of MAGA and the desperation consuming them.

A verified MAGA account on X is now calling for me and my brothers to be put on Nuremberg Trials for “treason.” Yes, you read that right. In response to someone demanding accountability for the Trump regime, they wrote:

“Unless Nuremberg gets into the awards business I highly doubt it. If we haven’t had trials for Obama, Clinton, Comey, Brennan, Clapper, Rice, Holder, Biden, Soros, or the Meiselas family for treason… Strozk, Page, we’re surely not going to punish heroes of the country. TDS is a horrible and debilitating syndrome please seek help before you end up in a cardboard box on the streets of Portland or San Fran.”

The Meiselas family is now part of their fantasy list of war crime defendants. Let that sink in. This is not normal. It is not sane. It is not the behavior of a movement that is confident or growing. This is what people do when they feel cornered. This is what people do when their entire political identity is collapsing in real time.

MAGA is at its breaking point. Trump’s own base is furious, not at us, but at him. The meltdown over the past two weeks has been remarkable to watch. The Epstein Files detonated inside the MAGA world. The twenty thousand plus Epstein emails exposed Trump’s deep entanglements, and they cannot handle that we will not stop reporting on it.

Trump embarrassed himself trying to spin the Epstein scandal. His reactions were panicked, incoherent, and self incriminating, and the base saw it. His interview with Laura Ingraham was another breaking point. He bragged about bringing in six hundred thousand Chinese students to American universities and praised H1B visas while saying Americans do not have the skills or work ethic that foreigners do. That was a direct blow to the core identity MAGA has spent years constructing.

On top of that, we exposed the man behind the curtain. We refused to let up on the Epstein story, on Trump’s failing economy, on his scam trade deals, and on the corruption that MAGA tries to bury under conspiracies and projection. They are not angry because we are wrong. They are angry because we are right, and because the truth is breaking through.

None of this is a sign of their strength. It is proof of their collapse. A movement that once claimed it was rising is now reduced to threatening journalists, calling for show trials, and fantasizing about imprisoning critics. They know what is coming. They know they are losing the narrative. They know their attacks cannot stop us.

We are not backing down. We are not cowering. We are not softening our reporting. We will keep exposing Trump’s corruption, his extremism, his authoritarian impulses, and the dangerous network that enables him. As long as I have a microphone in my hand and as long as this community continues to show up, we will keep telling the truth.

This is an existential fight and we need you. I do not know what these MAGA extremists will do next or what other threats they will make against me, my brothers, or our team. But I know this. Our strength comes from you. Our independence comes from you. Our growth comes from you.

We need to expand our reach. We need more people seeing the truth. We need more people joining this movement. This Substack is one of the most important ways we continue to grow the largest pro-democracy network in the world.
