This is Donald Trump's worst nightmare. Some of the worst inauguration ratings in history. We're getting these numbers now. Not only were his ratings terrible, President Biden's inauguration ratings destroyed Donald Trump's inauguration ratings. This must make him so off. Take a look at this article from our friends at Media ITE Trump's inauguration ratings down bigly from Biden's. It goes on to say how 24.59 million viewers tuned into the Trump inauguration. That's 27% lower than President Biden's 2021 inauguration, which had 33.76 million viewers tracked from 17 channels. Donald Trump also had 19.75% lower viewers than his first pathetic inauguration. Remember where we had those really small crowd sizes and his press tried to act like this was the largest inauguration in history. You had lower ratings than that, Donald, and President Biden beat you also. This whole inauguration was like probably the weakest, most pathetic and humiliating inauguration in history. Not just from the perspective of these very low, small, teeny, tiny ratings, Donald, but also Donald Trump blamed cold weather as the reason why he was bringing the inauguration from outside inside into the rotunda. Guess what, Donald? When President Obama had millions of people show up for his inauguration after the 2008 election, it was basically the same exact weather. By the way, when John F. Kennedy was inaugurated in 1961, the weather was much colder, significantly colder than it was on Trump's inauguration. So Trump had it inside the rotunda where he gave this really bizarre, bizarre unhinged speech where he talked about attacking Panama and he talked about all this weird stuff. Never mentioned bringing prices down, never mentioned healthcare. And then we saw all of the oligarchs and their spouses because they were allowed to bring their spouses. Others weren't allowed to bring their spouses. The billionaire tech bro ligar were all sitting right there and they were making like weird, like tweaking face stuff. It was so bizarre to see Bezos's face and Musk's face. And then Bezos wife showed up and she was like, basically wearing an open blouse like, and just like exposing her chest with a bra. And then Zuckerberg was like looking at her chest. The whole thing was so bizarre. It shows that these people may have billions of dollars, but they are classless. They are clearly yearning for attention and it's just so utterly powerless as they're there as props, as stooges for Donald Trump's utterly pathetic speech. What I want to talk about as well though, is that a lot is very teeny, tiny For Donald Trump, I mean, he also had some of the lowest inauguration approval ratings, like, ever. This is supposed to be the honeymoon period. And for Donald Trump, America already wants a divorce. And a lot of America actually wants a restraining order against Donald already just based on him being a little bit facetious or maybe not based on how he's handled. So this AP N O R C poll basically said that Donald Trump's favorability leading up to the inauguration was only 41%. In contrast, President Biden's was like 67 to 72. Obama was in the high 70s, Clinton, George W. Bush, the low to mid 70s. This is supposed to be a time where the nation unites if someone's elected to the presidency, regardless of what political party they're from, but not Donald. And folks, put your foot on the gas right now to expose this fool, to expose this corrupt administration. Now's the time to put your gas. Put your foot on the gas and expose him. I mean, take a look at some of these other numbers. When it comes to Donald Trump pardoning the January 6th insurrectionist, the violent insurrectionists, those convicted of seditious conspiracy. Only about 15 to 20% of Americans from the APN ORC poll ever favored that. About 80%, to varying degrees, did not approve of party of pardoning violent seditious individuals who engaged in terroristic behavior and tried to kill cops. Americans hate that. As you go through other polling data, seven, this is a Wall Street Journal poll. I mean, they're right. Leaning 76% of voters reject Donald Trump's unconstitutional push to seize Congress's power of the purse for himself. Americans actually believe in checks and balances. Also, more than 2/3 of Americans oppose using economic coercion or military force to take control of Greenland and the Panama Canal. Two thirds of them all from. This is from the Wall Street Journal poll. Two thirds of Americans oppose annexing Canada and making it a 51st state. More than half of Americans say, what in the world are you doing with this? Elon Musk, who you're giving an office in the West Wing. I mean, these are some. Take a look at this. Only 17% of Americans approved of Pete Hegseth as the Secretary of Defense. Sister in law, came out with a declaration saying what a horrific human being he is. Here's a guy who never led any military command before. He's never led a large organization. The nonprofits he was leading. He was pushed out of working for nonprofits that you were pushed out of for behavioral issues. That doesn't give you the qualifications to lead the Defense Department and have access to the nuclear codes. I mean, I just want you to think about this and then his personal behavior. But this is who Donald Trump is rallying behind.

Also, the Congress, Republican Congress, it's a disapproval rating is over 75% right now. I mean, some really bad statistics and it's only going to get worse from Donald Trump. I mean, this, this weird. He had the, the new Village People, not even the original Village People doing the weird dance. You have Melania wearing the Pizza Hut hat and being and selling meme coins and Donald Trump meme coins. You got Elon Musk raising his hand and doing this. You've got Trump taking down the Spanish version of the White House web page. In addition to pardoning the insurrectionist, you also had Donald Trump engage in other very, very serious pardons as well. Pardoning individuals who were convicted of like aiding and abetting sex trafficking and engaged in just horrific behavior. And he said because the libertarians wanted him to do it. You've got Donald Trump doing saying that birthright citizenship in the United States should not exist even though it is ensconced in the 14th Amendment of the Constitution. Donald Trump failing to get peace into Ukraine in 24 hours as he promised. He promised peace in Ukraine in 24 hours. And get this, this is this is true. What Donald Trump said in his first press conference is he was delegating. He said he told Xi Jinping to negotiate the peace in Ukraine. Xi Jinping, who's forming an alliance with Putin to destroy America. Donald Trump now says he wants Xi Jinping to negotiate peace in Ukraine. How utterly pathetic can you be? But, Donald, those ratings, some of the worst ratings ever. And I think Mediaite just did a remarkable story calling it out. And by the way, lots of people weren't even watching corporate media. A lot of you were watching the puppy inauguration, the kitten inauguration, right here on the Midas Touch YouTube channel. Thanks to you, we raised $90,000, approximately $90,000 for the Humane Society. And I spent the four hours of the time the inauguration talking about puppies, kittens, goats and coats, stampedes of guinea pigs, otters wrestling. That's what we were doing. I hope you enjoyed. I thought it was fun to watch the puppy and kitten inauguration, but maybe, I don't know. That's my sense of humor. But sorry, Donald, you're off to a pathetic start with the lowest ratings ever. President Biden kicked your you know what in the ratings, millions of more views than you. And then you continue to do things that are just gonna make you more and more unpopular as Americ, your chaos, your sicko behavior, all your deranged social media posts. But what about the lower prices? You want to talk about the Gulf of Mexico being the Gulf of America? How about the Gulf of lower prices, lower egg prices? Well, prices are up, egg prices are up. Housing's not more affordable. And Donald Trump goes, I don't think Americans really care about inflation. He goes, I think they care about the mental institutions and people coming in from the mental institutions. Get this, Donald. Border crossings were D under President Biden to the levels where it was when it was at your lowest in April of 2020 during COVID which was low for you because of COVID President Biden brought the border crossings down. But everything Biden did the MAGA Republicans would blame on him. There was not a single crisis, a single situ natural disaster that they wouldn't blame on Biden when it was Trump's fault. But guess what? Now you're in charge and the American people hate you. They didn't even tune in for the inauguration. Worst inauguration ever for, I think the worst term in a presidency ever. Utterly pathetic, Donald. Utterly pathetic. Everybody hit subscribe here. Let's get to 4 million subscribers together. Thanks for watching.
