Those people were so great right there. And Scotland was incredible as Donald Trump went there to grift costing the American taxpayers millions of dollars, the Scotland taxpayers millions of dollars to promote his freaking gol. People of Scotland, from Aberdeen to Edinburgh and all different cities and towns throughout Scotland, let Donald Trump know exactly what they thought of that vile sexual predator, that vile felon, that bankrupter, that fraud, that destroyer. I saw one group of people say we could smell that stench of Trump the moment he landed. Take a look at some of the signs we saw at some of the major protests across Scotland. Not even your wife likes you, Donald. Photos of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein. BFF forever. Best friends forever. You were shite in Home alone too. Scotland hates you, Donald. Scotland hates Donald Trump. A photo of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein. Very bad people. You are not welcome here. Photos, signs like this release the Epstein files. Baby carrot Donald. And meanwhile, Donald Trump spent the day golfing thinking that he could just run away from his deep, dark past. Connections that are being uncovered as we've learned that Donald Trump's name appears all over the Epstein files. And that's why he's saying it's a big hoax. As Donald Trump's Department of Justice gave Ghislaine Maxwell, the sex trafficker coconspirator of Epstein, who's serving 20 years in a Tallahassee prison for sex trafficking, Donald Trump gave her queen for the day status immunity for her speaking with the Department of Justice where undoubtedly she's going to give what names of other people and try to clear Donald in exchange for a pardon. And she's probably not even going to speak to Congress. But Donald Trump's there. He's golfing in Scotland, he's promoting his businesses, he self dealing, enriching himself off again, the Scotland taxpayer dime and ours in America. And then the despicable and weirdo MAGA influencers like this guy Eric Dougherty just revealed President Trump's golf swing is being shown off in Scotland. And people are amazing, amazed at his form. For somebody nearly 80 years old, Democrats have spent months trying to say he's not fit for office. This is my thing with these MAGA people, as I've said before, should never be a Democrat or Republican or red or blue thing, although it's become that it should be like a good versus evil and intelligent versus stupid. A MAGA cult versus like a democracy. What are we even talking about there? How, how could someone even write a post like that and be serious? The person was serious. But okay, we want to take a look at Donald Trump's golf game. That golf swing. Well, we've got footage of it. Here, take a look at, take a look at this. Here, play this clip. It was, our little boy is four years old. You know, as I always say too, you know, Donald Trump's behavior would not be acceptable at any organization anywhere other than the leader of the Republican Party right now and this vile maga, whatever you want to call the gop, the guardians of the pedos, that's what the GOP should stand for, right? And by the way, Donald Trump sure sent his DOJ to cover up with Ghislaine Maxwell quicker than he sent FEMA to Texas to deal with those flash floods. But but look at what Donald Trump's posting from Scotland again, like a little petulant toddler. He's just there, keyboard warrior. You know, while there are major issues going on in the world, right? I mean, as you have the Druze minority in Syria undergoing like a mass attack on them by the other, by jihadists in Syria as like the Al Qaeda, the Al Qaeda sect. As Donald Trump was saying, oh, you know, I have great faith in their strong, handsome, good looking leader. We got war between Thailand and Cambodia taking place. We've got Russia killing innocent Ukrainians using those Iranian Shahi drones. But this is what Donald Trump is doing. He goes, because I'm looking at the large amount of money owed by the Democrats after the presidential election and the fact that they admit to paying, probably illegally, $11 million to singer Beyonce for an endorsement. She never sang, not one note and left the stage to a booing and angry audience. $3 million for expenses to Oprah, $600,000 to a very low rated TV anchor, Al Sharpton, a total lightweight. And others to be named for doing absolutely nothing. These ridiculous fees were incorrect, correctly stated in the books and records. And he puts us in caps. You're not allowed to pay for an endorsement. It's totally illegal to do so. Can you imagine what would happen if politicians started paying people to endorse them? All hell would break out. Kamala and all of those that received endorsement money broke the law. They should be prosecuted. Thank you for your attention to this matter. But calling for Beyonce, Oprah, Al Sharpton to be prosecuted, what do they have in common as well, by the way? Also based on lies. You think you're going to distract us from the Epstein files when we know your name is all over them and we know about your despicable past with Epstein that we cover diligently, meticulously, every day, every 90 minutes here on the Midas Touch Network. No, we're not going to be distracted. Oh, and then Donald Trump calls for networks that he doesn't like to have their licenses revoked. And by the way, Brandon Carr, Donald Trump's FCC commissioner, is going after those networks. He basically bragged that he was the reason that Colbert got fired and he said he was going to go after the View and all of these shows that Donald Trump doesn't like. Donald Trump goes, wow, Comcast. He calls Comcast. Comcast. Wow, Comcast. NBC is down in viewership almost 28% this year. This program is terrible. Their management, even worse. They are an arm of the Democrat Party and should be held accountable for that likewise fake news. Abc, maga, mega networks aren't allowed to be political pawns for Democrats. It has become so outrageous. In my opinion, their license could and should be revoked. Wow, wow, wow, wow. No, Donald Trump should be talking about how an Oklahoma man is among the Druze family killed execution style in Syria. Remember when Donald Trump met with the leader of Syria, the new guy who used to be part of Al Qaeda and you know, he's tried to moderate himself, but Donald Trump thought he was handsome. And Donald Trump's like, yeah, this Shahra guy, he's a tough guy. He's very handsome. I think he's the right guy to stabilize Syria. Well, we've seen the mass massacre of the Druze taking place there, by the way, the mass massacre of people in Gaza right now starve starving to death while Donald Trump eggs on Netanyahu and is like, do what you want to do. Netanyahu as you see women and children and innocent people starving to death who can't get food. But Donald Trump's out there golfing in Scotland covering up the Epstein files. How utterly despicable. I'll show you what, you know, he could be doing. French President Emmanuel Macron posted the following. I held discussions with the interim Syria President Al Shara today. The recent violence in Syria underscores the extreme fragility of the transition. Civilian populations must be protected. It is imperative to prevent further episodes of violence and to ensure that those responsible for these acts are prosecuted. Prosecutions are expected based on the report submitted by the Independent Commission regarding the violence on the coast. The cease fire in Suaida, that's the region where the Druze are from, is a positive signal. A calm dialogue must now enable progress toward the goal of unifying Syria while respecting the rights of all of its citizens. I spoke with the Syrian President about the urgency of finding a political solution with local actors within a national framework of governance and security. Likewise, it is essential that negotiations between the Syrian Democratic Forces and the Syrian authorities proceed in good faith. The tripartite discussion yesterday helped define the next steps. I reiterated our commitment to Syria's sovereignty and territorial integrity. We discussed in this regard exchanges with Israel. We both expressed our support for cooperation and stabilizing the Syrian Lebanese border. France is ready to support these efforts. Finally, I noted President Alshara's commitment to fight against terrorism and and emphasize the need for shared cooperation. That's how a statement is supposed to look from a leader. Okay, not Oprah and Beyonce and Al Sharpton and I'm going to prosecute Kamala and Obama 2016 was mean to me. I mean it again, it is. And it should just be embarrassing. If you have dignity, Donald Trump's behavior should just be freaking embarrassing. And then Donald Trump, right, he's got his, he's got his influencers online who are like, oh, great swing, Donald. You're, you're a great golfer. And then he's got people like Mark Levin on Fox. I'm Mark Levin. That's how he talks. And so Mark Levin goes on TV and like he coordinates this with Trump and Mark Levin's like, and let me be clear, we need to prosecute Obama. Obama would not get immunity. His conduct fell outside of immunity. First off, what the hell are you even talking about prosecuting him for? You just say words. Russia, Russia, Russia. What the hell are you even about talking, talking about? You just want to distract from the Epstein files. GOP guardians of Pedos, that's what they've become. You're hiding the Epstein files. And must be horrific. What the hell's in there about Donald Trump? And you think that we're just stupid. Oh, Obama here, just watch Mark Levin.

Here play this clip from prosecution for all his official acts. There is no immunity for unofficial acts. Wow. So that takes you to this issue of presumptive immunity. Because what Barack Obama didn't, what he did was it within his official acts. What he did was he moved from his official acts and he asked the CIA and the others to do something that was corrupt, not part of his official. Part of his official acts would be as if Obama ordered taking out a terrorist in Yemen, which he did. And it turns out that he takes out the terrorists, but also kills his 15 year old son who's a US citizen. Obama can't be prosecuted for that. That's part of his official acts. That's fine. But when a President of the United States says, I need a new assessment, effectively telling the agencies and the rest, I need to get Trump, that's not within your official action. So what would happen in court if they brought some charges? You would have this presumptive immunity allegation and then you would have to overcome the presumption.
Host 1
Right? Like that's what they're doing. It's so utterly, utterly pathetic and so obvious. Oh, and I'll just show you. This is the Congressmember Shafet or Shafitz, who's now a host on Fox maga. Republican. He's like. And so the Democrats are using the Epstein files to distract from Obama. Oh, that's it. Okay. Oh, that's that's it. That's what happened. Or maybe, just maybe, y' all were talking about the Epstein files every freaking day and using a sex trafficking ring, which should be taking serious to weaponize against your political enemies, except for the fact that your political enemies are not really the ones on there. It's Donald Trump who was Epstein's best friend and now you don't know what to do. And now Donald Trump's giving immunity to Ghislaine Maxwell. He's probably gonna give her a pardon. He's covering up all this stuff. You all look ridiculous. So then you go, you know what, let's just go after the black president. Let's say Obama. Obama. Maybe, Maybe what? You're gonna bring back up the birth certificate. Birth certificate. We gonna go there. What else are you gonna go and bring up? I don't know.

Here, play this clip and that. But Democrats have also joined in and actually voting in favor of doing things, subpoenas and whatnot. That creates a whole nother problem for Republican leadership because if they do a discharge petition or something else, you're going to have all the Democrats on board. And that creates a whole nother set of worms for Speaker Johnson. I can tell you. I'm just telling you this is. But I also do think I totally buy what guy is saying. I would also argue that part of what they're trying to do is they are trying to distract from this big issue of President Obama's personal involvement in what was going on in targeting Donald Trump.

The MeidasTouch Podcast: "Trump in Terror in Scotland as Trip Gets Instantly Ruined" – July 27, 2025
In this gripping episode of The MeidasTouch Podcast, hosts Ben, Brett, and Jordy Meiselas delve deep into former President Donald Trump's controversial trip to Scotland. Combining sharp political analysis with their signature brotherly banter, the Meiselas brothers offer a comprehensive critique of Trump's actions and the broader implications for democracy.
Host 1 opens the discussion by highlighting the vehement opposition Trump faced during his Scottish visit. The brothers emphasize the massive public backlash, showcasing the fervent protests that erupted across the country.
The streets from Aberdeen to Edinburgh were adorned with protest signs condemning Trump, reflecting widespread disdain for his presence and actions.
Photos and slogans such as "Not even your wife likes you, Donald" and "Release the Epstein files" became common sights, underscoring the intense opposition he faced.
A significant portion of the episode focuses on Trump's long-standing connections with Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex trafficker.
The hosts critique Trump's efforts to downplay these associations, suggesting a deliberate attempt to obscure his involvement.
This move is interpreted as a strategic maneuver to gain favorable information, potentially to secure a pardon or mitigate legal repercussions.
Despite facing global crises, Trump chose to spend his time golfing in Scotland, a decision heavily criticized by the hosts.
The brothers argue that Trump's priorities are misaligned, focusing on personal leisure while ignoring pressing international and domestic issues.
The podcast shifts focus to accuse Democrats of financial improprieties, specifically regarding endorsements.
They allege that prominent Democrats engaged in illegal payments for endorsements, questioning the integrity of political funding.
The discussion underscores a broader narrative of political corruption, suggesting that both major parties are tainted by unethical practices.
The Meiselas brothers critique Trump's efforts to manipulate media narratives and suppress unfavorable coverage.
They argue that Trump is leveraging political influence to silence dissenting voices, undermining the freedom of the press.
This manipulation is seen as a direct threat to democratic values, where media should remain unbiased and free from partisan control.
The episode touches upon the complexities of prosecuting former presidents, using Barack Obama as a case study.
The brothers explore the legal protections afforded to presidents, emphasizing the challenges in holding them accountable for misconduct outside their official capacity.
This segment highlights a perceived strategy to divert public attention from significant scandals by introducing unrelated accusations.
The podcast contrasts Trump's actions with those of other world leaders, particularly French President Emmanuel Macron.
By juxtaposing Macron's measured approach to international crises with Trump's controversial behavior, the brothers underscore the importance of responsible leadership.
Wrapping up the episode, the hosts reiterate their commitment to exposing political corruption and defending democratic values.
They urge listeners to stay informed and engaged, emphasizing the necessity of holding public figures accountable.
