The MeidasTouch Podcast — “Trump Loses It on Christmas After Meidas Exposed Him”

Date: December 25, 2025
Hosts: Ben, Brett, and Jordy Meiselas (The Meiselas Brothers)
Episode Theme:
A chaotic deep dive into Donald Trump’s Christmas Day social media meltdown, contrasted against mainstream political responses, new revelations around the DOJ’s Epstein files, and the international implications of Trump’s rhetoric during global crises — all tackled with the Meidas Brothers’ characteristic banter, sharp commentary, and unwavering support for democracy.

Episode Overview

This special episode aired on Christmas Day 2025, focusing on an unhinged torrent of social media posts and conspiracy theories from Donald Trump, coinciding with exposes by the MeidasTouch network. The brothers contrast Trump’s behavior with the measured, holiday-spirited posts of Biden and Obama and connect Trump’s outbursts to both domestic turbulence (e.g., attacks on the Affordable Care Act, election conspiracies) and attempts to distract from major stories (notably, the recently unearthed Epstein files). They further link Trump’s actions to global authoritarianism, particularly Russia’s Christmas attacks against Ukraine, drawing attention to bipartisan responses and America’s shifting reputation among its allies.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Trump’s Christmas Meltdown on Social Media

• [02:58] The episode opens with a detailed account of Trump’s “psychotic meltdown,” with over 100 unhinged posts on Christmas Day.

• Main themes of Trump’s postings:

  • Calls for prosecution of former President Obama.
  • Renewed claims of a “stolen” 2020 election.
  • Demonizing Obamacare and calling for its instant repeal.
  • Amplifying conspiracy theories, including supporting a Roseanne Barr video alleging Covid was engineered for election fraud.
  • Attacks on Georgia poll workers, ICE messaging about “Christmas deportations,” and more.
  • Direct insults: “Merry Christmas to all, including the radical left scum…” ([14:35]).

• Hosts repeatedly lament Trump’s behavior, contrasting it with the holiday messages and conduct of other political leaders.

• Notable quote:
  “This is the type of deranged, conspiracy laden nonsense, QAnon filled hate that Donald Trump is spewing on Christmas.” — MeidasTouch Host (Ben), [03:50].

2. Contrast with Biden and Obama

• Trump’s contentious, divisive posts are set against “Merry Christmas” family photos from Biden and Obama ([04:15]).

• The hosts use this contrast to underscore Trump’s ongoing deviation from basic decorum and fitness for leadership.

• Notable quote:
  “There should be a basic floor in leadership positions, yet alone the presidency of the United States of America.” — MeidasTouch Host, [06:55].

3. Obamacare Attacks Amid Health Care Anxiety

• [05:30] Trump’s calls to eliminate Obamacare are labeled “textbook fraud,” and his posts are viewed as attempts to terrify Americans facing a healthcare subsidy lapse.
• The brothers argue this is a manufactured crisis by MAGA Republicans for political gain.

4. Election Fraud Conspiracies & Targeting Georgia Election Workers

• Trump’s recycling of debunked fraud conspiracies, including targeting Ruby Freeman and Shay Moss, who won their defamation suit, is highlighted ([08:30]).
• The hosts stress the continued danger of these lies.

5. Epstein Files Revelation and DOJ Accountability

• Just as the network exposed the existence of 1.2 million concealed Epstein files, the DOJ admitted to their possession within 12 hours, suggesting MeidasTouch direct impact ([10:10]).
• Notable quote:
  “They all knew that we knew and that it was going to become a public issue.” — Ben Meiselas, [10:55].
• The brothers theorize the Trump meltdown serves as a distraction from this and other real issues requiring accountability.

6. Trump as a Smokescreen for Authoritarians and Global Events

• Trump’s outburst is interpreted as a tactic to “give smokescreen to Vladimir Putin and authoritarians across the world.”

• While bipartisan US senators release a strong statement condemning Putin’s Christmas attacks on Ukraine ([12:01]), Trump’s priorities are out of sync with democratic allies.

• Notable quote:
  “Putin is a ruthless murderer who has no interest in peace and cannot be trusted. We stand with the people of Kyiv, Odessa, Kharkiv...” — Bipartisan Senate Statement (read at [13:00]).

7. America’s Global Standing and “Sanctioning Europe”

• The episode discusses the irony of the US sanctioning European countries for “censorship,” while softening towards Russian leaders ([13:55]).

• US actions cause frustration among traditional allies, with European generals increasingly viewing the US as an adversary, not a partner.

• Notable quote:
  “This is why European leaders in general view the United States as systemic adversaries right now, not as allies anymore. It’s a sad state.” — MeidasTouch Host (Ben), [14:40].

8. Ukraine’s Resilience and the Pope’s Appeal

• The Meidas brothers read and commend statements from President Zelensky, emphasizing Ukraine’s strength and further condemning Russian aggression ([15:00]).
• Notable quote:
  “Ukrainians’ faith is a stronger force than the evil unleashed today by the Kremlin.” — President Zelensky via MeidasTouch, [15:25].

9. Refusal to Amplify Trump’s Further Outbursts

• For their “Christmas present” to the audience, the hosts decide not to play video clips of Trump’s more bizarre or cringeworthy Christmas behavior, citing a desire not to reward or normalize his outbursts ([15:50]).
