Very Important Message From MeidasTouch

By Ben Meiselas

Hello Meidas Mighty. It’s Ben Meiselas, co-founder of the MeidasTouch Network.

I wanted to personally deliver this important message to you today.

On behalf of my brothers and everyone at the MeidasTouch Network, I want to let you know how proud I am to be in this movement with you.

We’ve been through a lot together, and I recognize this week was particularly tough. To recap:

1. Trump manipulated the markets and bragged in the Oval Office about how rich he made his billionaire friends,

2. Trump crashed the dollar,

3. Trump crashed the U.S. bond markets,

4. consumer confidence is the lowest in 45 years,

5. Trump sent an official U.S. envoy to meet with Putin, who appeared to pledge allegiance to Putin, and

6. Trump ran back to Florida to vacation and golf.

And this is just the tip of the tip of the iceberg.

But here we are.

We are still standing strong together.

The pro-democracy community is thriving, and the opposition to Trump in the United States and abroad is growing.

Canada showed the world how to stand up against the Trump regime and go “elbows up.” Europe and Australia have followed. The boycott against American products and tourism into America is now an international imperative.

Trump has not destroyed democracy across the world.

Trump has not reordered the world to improve America’s stature or status.

Quite the contrary—a reordering of global economic affairs and hegemony is rapidly taking place, and the United States finds itself weakened and isolated under the Trump regime.

The world powers who have been abused by Trump have banded together to corner and checkmate the Trump regime.

In response, Donald Trump has returned to bragging about passing cognitive tests again—which are actually dementia exams. Trump is posting videos of Hillary Clinton and talking about nicknames for former President Biden.

This is not an individual of sound mind.

Each day we move closer to the 2026 midterms. As I’ve interviewed over 60 major political leaders in the last few weeks alone, it’s reminded me that elections are sooner than we think.

Trump’s approval is almost in the 30s.

It’s as low as it was during his first term.

The chart of Trump’s approval looks like the chart of the markets under his regime: straight down.

As I’ve said before, Trump’s decision-making gets worse when adversity strikes. He takes problems and turns them into catastrophes with his reckless behavior and self-destructive malice.

Don’t be scared. View this as an opportunity. The Trump regime wants you to be scared and to run away and hide. They want to make you lose your will and desire to fight. They want you to become a “zombified MAGA mush brain.”

This is an opportunity to stop the Trump regime in its tracks.

Right after the election, the Trump regime paralyzed much of the nation with fear. People were frozen. Corporate news obeyed in advance and rushed to Mar-A-Lago to kiss the ring.

That’s when we at the MeidasTouch Network worked harder than ever. That’s when the Meidas Mighty and the Maple Meidas rallied.

It was in those critical weeks that we grew and inspired the nation and the world to resist the authoritarian regime.

Despite the chaos and the harm Trump continues to inflict, he will never stop the resistance, and he will never stop or shut down MeidasTouch.

This network has become an unstoppable movement.

From Vancouver to Toronto, to Paris and Berlin, from Johannesburg to Sydney, from Budapest to Belgrade—the truth is golden, and together we rally against fascism.

One team. The Meidas Mighty.

Yesterday I gave an interview with a major international publication, and the writer asked me why I called it the “Trump regime” when no other American news company used this framing.

My answer was basically that “if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then it's probably a duck.”

The Trump regime is not of the civilized democratic species. It is a wild, deranged, fascist beast. We call it what it is.

We have become the top digital network in the world, the top podcast in the world, and the top Substack (please subscribe now if you haven’t yet) because we don’t mince words.

We call out the Trump regime fearlessly each day while building bridges to the pro-democracy community across the world each day.

We call Donald a sexual abuser. Because he is.
We call Donald a felon. Because he is.
We call Donald a fraud. Because he is.

We call it what it is.

All of the Meidas Mighty who are here are part of this movement.

You’ve all stood up to Trump.

Together, you’ve stood with us, shoulder to shoulder, to stare that sloppy tyrant down and say, “Not today, Donald,” and “Not tomorrow, Donald,” and “Not ever, Donald.”

He will never break us.

He will never defeat our spirit.

He will never take away our joy.

We will get through this together.

Yes, this will come to pass, and we will rebuild together—and we will let this be a lesson to future generations.

But for now, we fight.

You’ve helped us build the most powerful news infrastructure today by subscribing to this Substack and spreading the word about this network.

We did it brick by brick together.

Our choir now sings louder than the right-wing outlets.

And guess what?

We are just getting started. They ain’t seen nothing yet.

Help us unleash more firepower.

Help us grow bigger.

Help us expand.

Let’s do it together!

Subscribe now if you can to this Substack, or gift a subscription to someone you know.

We got this!!

Now the Meidas Mighty rises and shines—and wins.
