Biden Is Getting His Revenge on Donald Trump As Donald Trump's regime is in full collapse mode, the latest Harvard Harris poll shows by a significant margin, all voters prefer former President Biden's handling of the economy over Donald Trump's handling of the economy, 52% to 48%. That same poll among independents favor former President Biden's handling of the Economy by a margin of 65% in favor of Biden, over 35% in favor of Trump, a 30 point preference for former President Biden's handling of the economy. But it doesn't just end there. The latest Reuters Ipsos poll is very similar to the latest AP Nork poll in terms of Donald Trump's collapsing approval. Far worse than than former President Biden at Biden's lowest point. Donald Trump is way worse than that, especially when it comes to Trump's handling of the economy and the cost of living. In the latest Reuters Ipsos poll, only 34% of Americans approve and 64% disapprove of Donald Trump's presidency. This is the lowest second term approval yet. This the previous low was a net negative 14. He's now net negative 30. And when it comes to cost of living, Donald Trump's approval is only at 22%. Let me repeat that, only 22%. But the numbers get worse as Donald Trump and MAGA were out there attacking Biden every single day. Take a look Right here of a massive coalition fracture among the Republican Party. The latest Economist YouGov polling shows only 18% of voters strongly approve of Donald Trump. His lowest including less than half of his 2024 voters, at 47%. Let me repeat that. Only 18% of voters strongly approve of Donald Trump. Now, former President Biden is surfacing in many other ways in the past 24 hours. And one of ways includes an interview that I did with former President Biden in the Roosevelt Room right before Biden left the presidency, before Trump's inauguration. Because lots of people are talking about that heavily edited and manipulated Norah o' Donnell interview with Donald Trump after the purported incident at the White House correspondents dinner where Donald Trump was like, whining Nora o' Donnell saying, I'm not a pedo. I'm not a pedo. And comparing that disastrous interview with the interview I did with former President Biden in that same location in the Roosevelt Room. More on that in a moment. But former President Biden's name and presidency continue to surface as evidence that James Comey can use to get Donald Trump's weaponized, despicable, DOJ's criminal case against Comey dismissed. By now, I'm sure you know that Donald Trump, Trump's gestapo, criminally charged former FBI Director James Comey with threats against the president's life. Because a year ago, Comey posted a photo of, like a North Carolina beach that said 86, 47. 86 means to get rid of its bar slang or restaurant slang to remove. It doesn't mean to, like, necessarily harm somebody. But based on that, the snowflake Trump regime brought criminal charges again against James Comey, to which many people pointed out, hey, Donald, when you were running for office, weren't you posting photos of former President Biden bound and gagged on the back of pickup trucks? Oh, yeah, people are pulling out these receipts and saying, so you forced your regime to bring criminal charges against James Comey for a photo that says 86, 47. While you've been posting photos like this, uh, this is March 28, 2024. TRUMP Post this photo from Long Island, New York. Take a look right there. You could even zoom in. It's a photo of former President Biden when he was president at the time, bound and gagged. And that same pickup truck was out there celebrating Donald Trump at his criminal trial, where Donald Trump was convicted on 34 separate felony accounts. And so people are pointing out, well, if you did that, Donald, shouldn't you then be arrested also? Lot lots of Trump maga influencers posts against former President Biden have been surfacing and people are saying, okay, you charge Comey, why don't you charge Jack Poseidic then? If that, if you're going to be social media police. And by the way, I don't think any of this conduct should be charged. But Jack Poseid wrote 8646 about former President Biden. So is that criminal right now based on the Trump regime's interpretation of everything. Oh, also, more data haunting Donald Trump right now. Nine out of 12 voters in this latest New York Times focus group who voted for Donald Trump no longer support him. And that's consistent with the other polling data that we've seen. You know, Donald Trump, of course, is obsessed with Biden. Everything that Donald Trump is screwing up, he continues to blame on Biden. Why is the GDP growth so poor? Biden. Why is our debt exploding? Biden. Why is inflation up? Biden. Why is gas so high? Biden. Why are we at war with Iran? Obama? Biden. Why are groceries high? Biden. Why are you talking about a $1.5 trillion military budget? Biden. And Trump makes social media post after social media post. Biden, Biden, Biden, Biden. I mean, he's been doing it over the past week, past month, past year, since this term began. Biden, Biden, by the guys obsessed, you know, and he's like, biden didn't really win in 2020 and there was a coup against him. I mean, the guy is out of his mind, deranged. But you know, when you hear from, you know, Trump voters, they're like this, like, I miss Uncle Joe. I miss Uncle Joe. Like this guy right here. Play this clip.
Interviewee / Voter
But honestly, I miss my Uncle Joe because, I mean, yeah, there was a lot of craziness going on, but it was a whole lot calmer than this. I didn't, it didn't affect my day to day life. I was a nobody and I was balling then. Now I couldn't even tell you, I couldn't even show you $5 in my pocket.
Political Commentator
I think we all miss the compassion of Uncle Joe. Yvette Hoffman, remember she and her lawmaker husband John Hoffman survived the political assassination attempt on them in Minnesota. Tragically, that was the assassination attempt where the former speaker of the Minnesota House was shot and killed along with her husband. But Yvette Hoffman, who managed to survive, remember there were two shootings that took place, posted this about President Biden. She and her lawmaker husband John Hoffman were shot along with Melissa and Mark Hortman Melissa and Mark Hortman, they were murdered. And fortunately, John Hoffman and Yvette Hoffman managed to survive. And she just posted this. Although not the current sitting president at the time, he came, he came to the icu. He came to see the Hortman's Lion State in the Minnesota State Capitol Rotunda, and he came to their funeral. He has checked in with us multiple times since June 14th just to make sure we're okay. And here's Biden with them right there. You see Biden and these incredible photos with them right there. Now, what has surfaced over the past 24 hours, and I'm not sure if you've been seeing it, but these clips have went viral. So I had the opportunity to interview former President Biden in the Roosevelt Room of the White House, the exact same location where Norah o' Donnell interviewed Donald Trump. I did my interview at the end of December in 2024. And I asked former President Biden, when history is all told, how do you want to be remembered? What do you want your legacy to be? Here's what he told me. This clip has been going viral today. Let's play it. When history is all told, how do you want to be remembered? What do you want your legacy to be?
Joe Biden
I kept my word that when I said I was going to do something, I did. And that my focus has always been about how to give ordinary people a shot. You've probably heard me say it before. My dad used to say, joey, a job is about a lot more than a paycheck. It's about your dignity. It's about respect. It's about being able to look at your kid in the eye and say, how is it going to be okay? And mean it. It's about being able to be yourself and focus on people who need some help. And the vast majority of American people, all they want is a chance, just a chance, and they'll do fine.
Political Commentator
You see hope?
Joe Biden
I do. I'm hopeful.
Political Commentator
And then I asked him back In December of 2024, what do you say to Americans who are understandably very nervous right now in this moment? Here's what he had to say. Here, play this clip. What do you say to Americans who are understandably very nervous right now, who didn't vote for the other guy, who are fearful of the threats, the rhetoric, the idea of retribution? What do you say to them who are looking at you, who admired your work? And what do you say to them right now who are watching?
Joe Biden
Trustee involved. Got to keep fighting. Got to make clear we're not Going away. We're not going away. I'm not going away. I'm going to be deeply involved in the environment, deeply involved in foreign policy, deeply involved in all the things I've been involved before.
Political Commentator
You know, I also reflect upon the, you know, all of these right wing clothing sellers, 86, 46 outfits, that's one of Maga's best selling items, was 8,646, was 8,646 merch that they would go and sell. So should all of those people be arrested right now? And look, people are feeling the pain at the pump. People can't afford groceries, people can't afford gas, people can't afford rent. People are suffering, psychologically tortured under the Trump regime. And like that voter from Florida who I showed you before because I miss Uncle Joe. There wasn't drama like this, There wasn't the chaos. I had a normal life. I was doing fine. You know. Yeah, that's what we were trying to do. That's what we were trying to tell you all. I mean, I know Biden wasn't flashy. I get that he was old, but he wasn't in our faces, he wasn't in our lives. He just let us be. And he ran an effective government. And you could be like, well, you know, he's not as sharp as he was when he was younger. He surrounded himself with the sharpest team that there was. Okay. I mean just think about the, you know, gas prices are soaring, straight of Hormuz is still closed. Donald Trump is saying, well, I'm not going to do anything. We're just going to keep the naval blockade. We're not going to commit more troops, which is a good thing. And we're not going to negotiate though, with Iran. We're just going to keep the blockade. We'll see what happens. Like a miracle, maybe it will go away, you know, and that's not leadership. Do you remember what Donald Trump did? People are talking about this now. Remember what Trump did with Afghanistan? Trump promised that he was going to do the withdrawal from Afghanistan. Right. He made a. Trump made a deal with the Taliban. Trump released the 5,000 Taliban soldiers who ended up taking Afghan Afghanistan over. And Trump threw under the bus the existing Afghan government that was allied with the United States. And Trump. Then Trump invited the Taliban to camp David on 9 11, by the way. And then Donald Trump said that he was going to evacuate the US Military bases and remove the troops. Trump never did that. Because you have to understand, Donald Trump's a coward. Donald Trump doesn't make real decisions. He was never a deal maker. He's a destroyer. Biden had to actually be the person who, who removed the troops. And Biden took responsibility and accountability when things went wrong. Although Biden was able to move a lot of the troops out safely, but he took responsibility. When there was an act. He, he took it on himself like a leader is supposed to do with tragic, horrific terrorist attack. Right. And then former President Biden didn't get us into any wars. He, he, he put us on a course. Correct. And had to deal with what Donald Trump the arsonist did. And now all throughout the day, you have these Trump MAGA sycophants trying to blame Biden for this, that it's not working. Like MAGA Republican Greg Stube, here's what he had to say yesterday when. Look, I just want to be very clear. Trump was in office in 2020. You're complaining about the Trump thing here. Play this clip.

state of Florida, fleeing states like New York and California and leftist cities because they hate the policies and they love the policies of Florida and the freedom that we have there. So that is also a fact. So you're going to see these changes.

Then you have Brooke Rollins, Brooke Rollins, the Agriculture secretary, bragging about kicking people off of food stamps and then blaming former President Biden. Here. Play this clip.
Brooke Rollins
Secretary, you've got some new news to break with us this morning. You know, Federal data revealing 4 million few Americans are receiving SNAP benefits in the first year of this President's second term. These numbers are coming from your department. Enrollment falling 4.2 million people. And this is after the passage, of course, the big beautiful bill last July. What can you tell us? Well, it is a really big piece of news and obviously there's a lot going on in the world. But back here and in the homeland, what are we, what are we doing to make sure that the president's promise to return the power to the people to drain the swamp is really happening. Under Joe Biden, the SNAP program, the food stamp program, grew by more than 40%. Of course, I believe they were buying votes for the election, putting as many people on as they could. Within the first hour of me being sworn in last February, we sent a letter to every governor in the country saying, partner with us. Let's make sure that this program is really working for those who need it the most. And as of just a couple of days ago, we now have moved 4, 4.3 million Americans off of the food stamp program. A lot of that is fraud. A lot of it is people taking the program that shouldn't have been. And then a lot of it is just a better economy. We've had a wage growth that has outpaced inflation for the first time since early 2021.

And then our friends at a more perfect union, they do great work. By the way, they published this showing what Republican voters, big Trump farmers, what they're saying right now. Here, play this clip.
Interviewee / Voter
My family's farmed for 100 years. You don't want to be the one that can't keep it going. You know, I am a Republican. I voted for this administration. But my patience is running thin.

The closure of the Strait of Hormuz is causing prices to skyrocket. Things like diesel fuel and fertilizer, we're
Interviewee / Voter
buying a little bit at a time sometimes we know that we've only got two weeks of fuel. So what has happened to us is not just the impact of one year. We have lost customers forever. They will never come back because we're deemed an unreliable supplier. I'm paying 60% more for diesel fuel than I would have been paying 45 days ago. You got to have diesel for everything. You got diesel to this, to plant, to harvest. So diesel stay going up like this, man. It affects us bad. You have no choice, you know, you've got to go ahead and buy it no matter what the price is. There's going to be a lot of people that go out of business at the end of the year either because they have to, because they're tired of losing money.
Political Commentator
Farmers have already been struggling with rising costs and even tariffs making things even harder.
Interviewee / Voter
It's going to be the nail in the coffin for a number of farmers. It's just a straw that broke the camel's back. A lot of the money that comes through the economy is just shuffled from the government back to, you know, these big corporations and just kind of farmers are middleman these days, really are.
Political Commentator
It just seems like the farmers margins
Interviewee / Voter
were already slim and they just keep getting slimmer and slimmer. We can't control diesel. We can't control you know wars, we can't control anything. All we can control is once we put that seed in the ground, that's all we are called to do, right? And the rest of it is up to the good Lord. I'm to supposed supported Mr. Trump this entire way. Supporter of his But I do not agree with this and I'm not happy about this at all. I did not vote for this administration. We're just hoping that the administration can right some of the wrongs that it's created for farmers with terrorists and mainly what this war has inflicted on us. A lot of people that did vote for this administration say it'll come around. But my question sometimes is, will you be in business when it does?
Political Commentator
If President Trump were standing here in this field right now, what would you say?
Interviewee / Voter
I'd ask him to stick a sock in his mouth and not say anything for a while. Get these fuel prices down. Get them down. There's an old African proverb that says when elephants fight, it's the ants that get crushed. The ants are getting crushed.

Hosts: Ben, Brett, and Jordy Meiselas (MeidasTouch Network)
This episode centers around the political fallout from Donald Trump's second term, the collapse of MAGA influence, and Joe Biden's rising reputation in the eyes of voters and the broader public. The Meiselas brothers use recent polling, personal interviews, and viral moments to contrast the leadership styles and legacies of Trump and Biden while highlighting stories of everyday Americans, including former Trump voters and farmers grappling with economic hardship.
"Only 18% of voters strongly approve of Donald Trump. His lowest, including less than half of his 2024 voters, at 47%. Let me repeat that. Only 18%." [01:01]

—Joe Biden [11:15]
"I do. I'm hopeful."
—Joe Biden [10:40]
"But honestly, I miss my Uncle Joe... it was a whole lot calmer than this. I was a nobody and I was balling then. Now I couldn't even tell you, I couldn't even show you $5 in my pocket." [07:39]

"Biden wasn't flashy. I get that he was old, but he wasn't in our faces, he wasn't in our lives. He just let us be. And he ran an effective government." [12:18]

Biden had to actually be the person who, who removed the troops. And Biden took responsibility ... like a leader is supposed to do." [13:30]
In this episode, the MeidasTouch brothers drive home the collapse of MAGA’s grip and the growing voter and grassroots nostalgia for Biden-era stability. Through polling, on-the-ground interviews, and viral moments, they highlight the wider public’s disillusionment with Trump and the MAGA movement and the contrasting human compassion and leadership style of Joe Biden, punctuated by both sobering and humorous commentary in the brothers’ trademark style.
