URGENT MESSAGE From Meidas Founder Ben Meiselas

By Ben Meiselas

We have Trump on the ropes. He cracked yesterday and his base is burning their MAGA hats. Let’s have a coffee together and chat on this Sunday. We have the momentum right now!

First, let me just quickly make a critical ask of you. MeidasTouch has zero investors, so if you are not subscribed yet, please—we need your help today by subscribing now if you can. That’s the biggest difference-maker in our growth. Thanks for subscribing if you can today—it means everything.

Back to my thoughts on this Sunday. Meidas has relentlessly been reporting on Trump’s connections with Epstein. As you know, we’ve covered it almost daily over the years. We’ve done meticulous analysis of Trump being on the Epstein files that were already released and his connections with Epstein. Our Epstein-related coverage has over 30 million views on YouTube alone.

I was livid that we were one of the only outlets covering Epstein during the 2024 election when I knew it was a bigger story. It was obvious to me that this made Trump more scared than anything.

Trump’s base now feels utterly betrayed by Trump claiming the Epstein files and list didn’t exist earlier in the week, and then saying it does exist—but that it was “created by Obama and Clinton” and “it’s a hoax” and “everyone needs to move on.” Trump’s base is not buying what Trump is selling, and we’re actually seeing an implosion within MAGA.

This MAGA implosion is not just related to Epstein, but the Epstein saga has poured kerosene on the festering, inflamed dissatisfaction with Trump within MAGA. Trump can claim gas prices are $1.98 and that homes are affordable and inflation is eliminated, but anyone who steps outside for 30 seconds knows this is false. Trump has made things more expensive with his disastrous trade war. Trump now says his promise to end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours was a “joke” and he was “being sarcastic” and it was not something he was serious about. Everything is a lie and cover-up with him.

Do you remember at the start of the week when I said there was a vibe shift happening? I know some were skeptical of my pronouncement, but I hope you feel more confident in my belief today. By huge majorities, Americans don’t support Trump’s campaign of terror against migrants. We are getting data that shows people are fed up with all this crap and torture and weakness and chaos.

Thanks to your help spreading the word and your subscriptions to this Substack (only if you can), we have created a machine to beat back against Trump’s propaganda hubs at Fox and corporate news. Trump made corporate news submit to his regime—and then we took the audience away from corporate news and brought them here to the MeidasTouch Network and inspired other independent media to grow. We have a lot more work to do, and this isn’t going to be easy, but we’ve put a major dent in this despicable regime and we need to keep it up.

Together with you, we are doing what no one thought was possible. The MeidasTouch Network, an independent media network, is actually winning the information war using the truth and facts against corporate news funded by right-wing oligarchs and their lies and hate and greed. Let’s roll up our sleeves and keep grinding.

If you are able to help the independent reporting at MeidasTouch today and you aren’t yet subscribed to this Substack, please subscribe today.

If you are a subscriber, you can gift subscriptions to people you know—if you can.

Thanks for all you do!

Let’s keep fighting.
