There he goes again. Donald Trump was having a psychotic meltdown all last night. He was making social media post after social media post of some of the most deranged things imaginable Donald Trump got word last night that the Senate parliamentarian was striking or preventing the United States Senate for allowing $1 billion in taxpayer money to to be snuck into a reconciliation bill for Donald Trump's Golden Ballroom. He was absolutely livid about that. And also there were major protests breaking out in Selma. Wanna give a hat tip to everybody who showed up? Take a look right here. Thousands marching in Selma calling for a full restoration of the Voting Rights act. As Donald Trump and his right wing extremist fascist Supreme Court has gutted the Voting Rights Act. They thought they were gonna take away the power from we the people that they were gon. That's not motivated. No, people were showing up and protesting this despicable regime, demanding their impeachment. Here's what Donald Trump was posting all last night. It was posts like this. It was the calm before the storm. And it's an AI image of Donald Trump with a decorated admiral standing behind him. It's an AI image he's pointing at. The screen looks like to be an Iranian ship in the background. Although Trump claims he's destroyed all Iranian ships. It was the calm before the storm is also so a QAnon expression. The storm is coming. And again, Donald Trump and by all accounts Netanyahu are both talking about resuming open hostilities against Iran very, very soon, which of course would lead to a global depression and would cause so many lives to be lost. It would be absolutely horrific. Donald Trump was also posting AI images like this with we made America great again. He says, really? Well, let's just take a look at what state regime media, which calls itself Fox, is talking about. Cuz they're not talking about the economy doing well. Here's what they're even saying on Fox. Let's play this clip. You know, oil now over 100 bucks and you got a strong economy. That's been sort of buffering that. But you know, there are red flags up there now. Charles, good to see you. Thank you. Can you imagine just with all of the suffering you and Americans are experiencing right now, he posts golden images and says we made America great again. As though people are thriving right now. I mean, Donald Trump may be thriving. We got his financials through his Office of Government Ethics stock trading account. From January 2025 through April of 2026, Donald Trump's investment portfolio executed a new financial transaction roughly every 9 minutes and 45 seconds during trading hours. So dropsite breaks it down. And this is the Financial Times analysis as well. It was 3,800 stock trades in the first quarter alone. So one trade, usually of a multimillion dollar value every nine minutes and 45 seconds. And Donald Trump was trading stocks of companies that he does business with, whether it's Apple or Palantir or Microsoft or. I mean, you go down the list of companies that he's trading, Boeing. The conflicts of interest are so utterly egregious. And while Donald Trump's out there making social media posts and memes of him as Space Force, I mean, look at this image. What are you even posting? I mean, you literally look like an absolute psycho because you are. And he's posting Space Force and it's some weird meme of himself, some weird photo of him next to Xi Jinping. And Donald Trump writes, president Trump gets younger. Another weird image of Donald Trump looking like he's in a daze, he has no clue where to go, as a Chinese chaperone tells him how to walk in a straight line. Like, that's what you're posting right now. By the way, did you see this video that surfaced right here? You can see Xi Jinping gave Donald Trump intentionally a chair that had like a very low cushion on it so that Donald Trump would like fall into the seat. And Xi Jinping gave himself a chair that was more solid where he would perch above Donald Trump. I'm showing you the B roll right here so you can see how kind of awkward and uncomfortable Donald in every respect. Donald Trump got absolutely played by Xi Jinping. Like, I mean, Donald Trump went in there and said, oh, you're so powerful, you're so strong. I think you're a great leader. And Xi Jinping like looked him in the face and started talking about Thucydides trap and America's in decline and get out of our way and don't talk about Taiwan. And Donald Trump just took it. And ever since Donald Trump came back to the United States, he's like, why would we help Taiwan? They're 9,500 miles away. Why would we help this? I mean, I've never seen someone more weak and pathetic than Donald Trump. But he's been weak and pathetic. He's been a loser his entire life. He's bankrupted entity after entity. He's a lifelong loser. He's just the bully and a con artist who likes tricks people into believing he's tough when he's not. He's frickin loser. Meanwhile, you have one of Iran's national top national security people in their parliament posting the following. Iran, within the framework of its national sovereignty and the guarantee of international trade security, has prepared A professional mechanism to manage traffic in the Strait of Hormuz along a designated route which will be unveiled soon. In this process, only commercial vessels and parties cooperating with Iran will benefit from it. The necessary fees will be collected for the specialized services provided. Under this mechanism, the route will remain closed to the operators of the so called Freedom Project. Referring to Donald Trump and his regime and allies of the United States, MB Gallaboff, Iran's Parliament leader, posted the following the world stands at the cusp of a new order. As President Xi said, the transformation unseen in a century is accelerating across the globe. And I emphasize that The Iranian nation's 70 day resistance has accelerated this transformation. The future belongs to the global South. So with statements like that about restructuring global architecture, China being the main hegemonic dominant power in the world, the US being a lesser power, the global south referring to China and Iran and Russia and this broader alliance right here rising. I mean that's how they're referring, referring to it as NATO is destroyed by United States, as America's alliances are weakened, as America first has meant America alone. Donald Trump was posting this as part of his psychotic meltdown last night. The reflecting pool between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument, approximately 2,030ft versus the tallest building in the USA. Obama and Biden spent more than $100 million trying to fix it. What are you even talking about? You're painting the bottom of it blue. You're not fixing it by painting it blue. It's going to create more algae. It's going to look even worse. And it didn't look all that bad before. Yeah, there was algae issues and leak issues, but what the hell are you doing? And why are you comparing the size of a reflecting pool to one World Trade Center? Like I don't even understand the comparison. What are you going to next? You're going to compare like the size of an ocean to the size of a mountain. Like just because, like, what are you doing? Like, don't you have other, don't you have other things to think about than doing this? I just genuinely don't understand what the hell you're doing. And meanwhile, state regime media, which calls itself Fox, has one of their warmonger host, Jesse Waters and he was there pushing for war and saying that he's got super secret information that the war is going to be coming very, very soon. Here, play this clip.
New York Times Reporter
New York Times is reporting our military is preparing for another round of attacks, this time more aggressive. The attacks can come as early as Monday. Additional Iranian military targets are on the table, that includes infrastructure. The president still reportedly considering a special operations raid to pull out the nuclear dust and possibly a ground assault on Kharg Island.
Ron Filipkowski
I'll just show you a short clip of the latest Iran Lego video. Maybe I do a longer video on this, but this is how Iran is treating Marco Rubio now. The sycophantic, weak and pathetic Secretary of state. Let's play a short clip of that for you. Let's play it.
Iranian Rapper/Commentator
Little Marco, Marco bark for your master. Netanyahu's good dog tail wagging faster. Marco, Marco, whole government is an Epstein regime you just a pedo projector. Marco, Marco, you bark on Q. Wow. Trump says jump you ask a high balls who used to diss Trump hard called him a kind and a liar flip flopper now you kiss the ring and call it Empire 2016. You said the man ain't fit, now you carry his bag, that's it. Trump keeps you close enough to use far enough, he never lose. You see it yet secretary of state but they kick you off the call. Ro finds out from CNN like the rest of y', all, you look the American debt in the face. Promised oversight, promise graze. But Epstein's files stay sealed, the donor stay in place. Funny how that work taking US tax dollars just to fund the genocide. Lovey checks inside your pocket you can't run and hide whole planet hating baby for the slaughter in the graves while he bragging always back in with the U. S worker saying little Marco Marco bark for your master.
Ron Filipkowski
And then we heard from Professor Morandi. Professor Morandi is an advisor to Iran's nuclear negotiating team. He traveled with Iran's when there was negotiations a month or so ago. And here he threatens overwhelming retaliation against the United States if the United States goes and escalates open hostilities against Iran. Again. Here, play this clip.
Professor Morandi
I think the Iranians have made it pretty clear that their response will be very harsh. It will be more decisive than even the 39 day war or the 39 day hot war, the first phase of this current war, because we the war is ongoing. We have siege warfare of course that Trump has also initiated and is carrying out. So the Iranians will, will hit very hard.
Ron Filipkowski
And if you want to know the perspective of Iran about Donald Trump's trip to China, Professor Morandi travels with all the top Iranian officials. He's a top professor there. He speaks really good English. Here's how he describes it. Here, play this clip.
Professor Morandi
They'd only monitor the Iranian Foreign minister's trip to China a few days before the summit and they'd seen the body language, the statements made by the Iranians and the Chinese, as well as Chinese media reactions and social media reactions to that visit. I think they would have, I, through that alone recognized that their requests were not going to achieve any results. But, but in any case, I think it's probably even worse than I had anticipated. Not on the Iran front, but in general, the trip achieved nothing.
Ron Filipkowski
And then I've been following the people who have been calling C Span on the Republican line, three time Trump voters who are done with him. Listen to this call by a C Span caller from Honolulu, Hawaii, a three time Trump voter. This is how most people who voted for Trump feel right now. Here, play this clip.
Radio Host
Let's go to Thomas now calling all the way in from Honolulu, Hawaii on the Republican line. Good morning, Thomas, you're on with us.
Thomas (C Span Caller)
Yes, good morning. Yeah, national thought and then a local one. It's hard for me to say this, but I think if I can open up about it in public that it might help others. I wanted to believe Trump was the real deal for a long time, even though I had doubts because I knew enough about his business history to think otherwise. But now I regret my support for him and I should have known better. He's making it plain as day, he's a con man, a liar, doesn't keep his promises, he's in office all for himself and he doesn't even try to hide his corruption anymore. So unless you get all your information from what I call the right wing propaganda for profit disinformation, media, industrial complex, he's the worst president we've ever had and he's the most corrupt president we've ever had. I know it's hard. It took me a while to be able to say that. Very difficult when you commit yourself to believing in somebody.
Radio Host
Thomas, if you don't mind me interjecting, did you vote for Trump all three times in 2016? 20, 20, 2024.
Thomas (C Span Caller)
I've seen that. I'm sorry, I missed that. Say that again, please.
Radio Host
Did you vote for President Trump all three times that he's run?
Thomas (C Span Caller)
Yes, I wanted to vote. I considered a third party and I considered even a Democrat, but I did in the end vote for him. But.
Radio Host
And what do you feel that's really interesting. What do you feel? Or what was the straw that broke the camel's back this time around? Was it the war?
Thomas (C Span Caller)
I don't think it's one thing. It's been a cumulative process and it's, it's gotten so blatant now. And he's just literally, the things he's. You know, he's gonna lower prices on day one. He was gonna do this on day one. Only he could fix all this stuff. And now I understand how somebody like Adolf Hitler was able to brainwash millions of people. I never thought I'd see that again in my lifetime, but. But it's happened, right? I thought we got past that, but we don't learn from history. But I just hope the best. We got to slow him down, make him accountable any way we can. Right now, the only weapon is to vote for as many Democrats, whether you like them or not. Just get some balance back into our system of checks and balances. Right? We just. The Congress is doing nothing to stop him. He has more power. He wants to be a king. We're letting him get away with it. We fought a revolutionary war against England because we didn't want to be ruled by an arbitrary king like Trump wants to be. So. But I'll stop there for that. Leavingmaga.org for anybody who's interested. It gives you a community of people who used to be supporters, but who also are having doubts now. So you. And being part of this community is a big part of the appeal, I think. Right. So that's something others who might be having doubts could check into.
Ron Filipkowski
As I noted, this is how most people who voted for Trump feel. Here's how they're talking about it on Infowars, which is Alex Jones, far right wing. These people used to be Trump sycophants. Watch what they say about Trump here. Very mockingly. Here, play it.
Alex Jones
Look, all I know is in 2024, I voted for two things, all right? I voted to go to war with Iran and to build a ballroom, okay? And as long as Trump can get those two things done, I mean, nothing else matters. I'm pretty sure I know I speak for all of us Trump supporters when I said in 2024, we were promised two distinct things. We were promised war with Iran that we'd lose. We wanted to lose a war with Iran, and we wanted to build a ballroom. And those are the only things that matter, folks. Other than that, deportations, who cares? Am I right? Getting rid of the welfare state and the hundreds of billions of dollars that are stolen from us. Small potatoes. We want a ballroom, Trump. We want a ballroom, and we want it now. And we want it to be big and magnificent, okay? We golden. All right?
Ron Filipkowski
That's.
Alex Jones
This is what we care about as Americans. We want to see gold plated ballrooms for you to have parties in, ok? The rest of us can suffer and die, thank you very much. We want that ballroom. We want to expand fisa. Absolutely. We definitely want to drop the investigation into John Brennan, get that out. We don't want him punished for anything ever. We want the ballroom and we want to lose a war to Iran. And by golly, Trump is delivering, is he not? Mashes. I don't think it's just me. I think we're all on that same page, right? Aren't we? Aren't we all on that page that all we really want, all we really want was to have the Epstein class protected from any consequences for their actions. We want the truth about the Epstein files to be buried completely. We want a big ass ballroom for Trump to have a party in. Okay? That's all we want. And this is sort of the thing, I guess you could say, I guess you could say this is what you might call the thing about all of this. It ain't just Trump, it is the Republican Party. It's inexplicable what they're deciding to focus their energy on and spend their time doing. There's not one thing I can point to that could even accidentally benefit the American people. Trump and the Republicans are just doubling down and hitting hyperspeed in their drive to do everything that we elected them not to do, to do everything that our enemies want them to do. It is truly absurd.
Thomas (C Span Caller)
Thank you for your support at Theology.
Ron Filipkowski
And also you have other Iranian counts just mocking Donald Trump. They're posting the image of Donald Trump's golden statue of himself at his Doral Golf club. And then they're showing Saddam Hussein the golden statues of Saddam Hussein in Iraq. And Iran's social media accounts go two images of a devil, Saddam Hussein. So damn insane is what they refer to Donald Trump as you have Saddam Hussein and so damn insane. And then in response to all of Donald Trump's social media posts that the Iran social media accounts go, blah, blah, blah, bullshit, bullshit, blah, blah, blah, lie, bullshit, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, lie, lie, bullshit, lie, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. That is what Iran thinks of the United States. You saw what China thinks of the United States. You see what the whole world thinks of the United States.

Episode Title: Trump Has 11:30 PM Psycho Meltdown and Quickly Caves!!!
Date: May 17, 2026
Hosts: Ben Meiselas, Brett Meiselas, Jordy Meiselas (MeidasTouch Network)
Theme:
A deep dive into Donald Trump’s explosive late-night online meltdown, his increasing isolation both domestically and on the world stage, and how even his own base and former supporters are turning against him as crises at home and abroad spiral.
This episode focuses on a recent series of unhinged social media posts by Donald Trump, his global and domestic failures, and the public's shifting reactions—including regret from former loyalists and open international mockery. The hosts contextualize Trump’s behavior amid ongoing Iran tensions, failed fiscal maneuvers (notably his notorious "Golden Ballroom" scandal), and a damning response from both American and international voices.

[02:45]
[07:15 – 14:42]
[14:42 – 16:18]
[18:35 – 20:34]
The episode is marked by incisive and satirical commentary, blending factual political analysis with biting humor and exasperation at Trump’s continued antics and perceived incompetence. The MeidasTouch brothers’ characteristic banter is interwoven with clips and call-ins to deepen the critique of Trump’s actions and the current political moment.
This episode is a must-listen for a comprehensive, often darkly comedic, snapshot of the state of American leadership, international affairs, and shifting voter attitudes in 2026.
