Donald Trump's psychotic meltdown and psychotic behavior is accelerating. He's making post after post on his social media bizarre posts about January 6th insurrectionist reposts of Marjorie Taylor Greene. This says Donald Trump has initiated a trade war that has crashed the American economy, that is crashing global economies. And this says Donald Trump continues to threaten to invade nations. He threatens the sovereignty of Canada. He's threatening to invade Panama and Greenland. Here's what Donald Trump is reposting now on his social media. He's reposting a post from Marjorie Taylor Greene from two weeks ago. It's a drawing of a January 6th insurrectionist in prison. Marjorie Taylor Greene wrote, tomorrow as promised, President at Real Donald Trump will sign a significant number of January six pardons. Soon the nightmare of the politically weaponized government will end and the healing can begin. So why is Donald Trump reposting this right now as he started a cataclysmic trade war? Why is he posting this now? I think he's signaling to January 6th insurrectionists who he pardoned. I'm going to need your help now because I am despised and detested and I'm going to need your back right now as I am hated right now here in the United States and abroad. So I think this is a message, in my view, that he's signaling to, to his extremists, to his gang, the same way authoritarians in the past have done that and you know who I'm talking about then Donald Trump makes posts like this. Anybody that's against tariffs, including the fake news, Wall Street Journal and hedge funds, is only against them because these people or or entities are controlled by China or other foreign or domestic companies. Anybody that loves and believes in the United States of America is in favor of tariffs. They should have never ended in favor of the income tax system in 1913. The response to tariffs has been and he puts this in all caps. Fantastic. This is how psychotic this individual is. This is an individual who, if he wasn't in this position, would need to be wearing a straight jacket right now. An involuntary psychiatric 5150 hold. And we need to talk about it in those terms. This is a psycho, demented individual saying, the response has been fantastic. By the way, Rupert Murdoch owns the Wall Street Journal, which supported Donald Trump. For Donald Trump to now say the fake news Wall Street Journal. Notice that Donald Trump has made all these other media corporations and media companies wear their knee pads and bend the knees. And now he's saying fake news Wall Street Journal. Why? Because Wall Street Journal is literally providing definitionally what a tariff is, which is inflationary and an economy killer. And then Donald Trump's talking about, we need to go back to 1913, before the income tax system. Look, I know that Donald Trump didn't pay his taxes. We know that he is a tax cheat. We know that he is a fraud. We know that he is a convicted felon. And so DONALD Trump says 1913. Let's be clear. All you've inspired right now is to unite the world against us, to isolate the United States, to. To unite former allies of the United States against us, to unite enemies against us, and to look like the pathetic, weak loser that you are. By the way, Donald Trump's meme coin. Cause he's out there still selling meme coins while all of this is going on. He's selling meme coins from the Oval Office. Well, his meme coins are crashing right now. As of this recording, they're at 17 and 91 cents. I'm sure they will go lower. The Milani, which has that dollar sign in front of it, the dollar sign symbol. So it's Melania, smell any coin that's at $1.44 that's basically crashed to almost $0. A complete crash. So many people have lost. Trump supporters have lost their life savings with his scammy meme coins that we tried to warn you about. And as predicted, as of last night, the stock futures were a train wreck. The dow was down 1.5%. S&P, down 2%. Nasdaq 2.6%. The Russell down 3.2%. Obviously, more carnage today would be an understatement about what's going on. But you see it right there. The futures last night were down 662 points. By the way, Donald Trump, the bitcoin, he's called him the bitcoin president. With all of these bitcoin people and crypto people saying Trump's going to be great. Well, the volatility in the market right now is in an already volatile market with. Especially with Trump hawking meme coins. For those who actually say there's a legitimate place in crypto, Trump showing why people who believe crypto is scammy, he's validating people who have those views. For those who are like, there's actually a good place for crypto. $2 billion was liquidated in 24 hours from the crypto market. This was more than the COVID crash, more than the FTX collapse. A massive record in a bad way. Bitcoin slide or slid towards 90,000 after Trump's tariffs. But what else has Trump been focused on during all of this time period? Well, an individual by the name of Darren Betty, who was fired as a speechwriter by the first Trump administration when it was revealed that he had spoken at a conference tied to white nationalists, is now the acting Undersecretary of Diplomacy and Public affairs in the State Department. This is somebody who said back on May 24, 2024, so not that long ago, this is someone who's got a top leadership position at the State Department. Taiwan will inevitably belong to China. It's a matter of time. It's not worth expending any capital to prevent it. A visionary statesman will recognize this and make a deal. In exchange for acknowledgment of this basic reality, get some serious concessions on Africa and Antarctica. Big deal to be made. You have to wonder, too, though, why Donald Trump's tariffs on China were less severe than his tariffs on Mexico and Canada. By the way, you wonder what Donald Trump. By the way, we knew that Donald Trump previously had secret bank accounts in China. Remember that was discovered after the first Trump administration. By the way, Trump's new State Department appointee in a leadership position said the following On December 7, 2021, our staff at the Midas Touch Network, we have an impeccable research team that digs this stuff up. This is what Darren Betty said. Then imagine the whining from the globalist American empire if Putin invades. And he puts that in quotes. Ukraine, I love it when our national security bureaucrats fail. That's a Trump appointee right there. By the way, this individual spent January 6th telling various black people, including Tim Scott, to learn their place and take a knee to maga. This is what Darren Betty said. Tim Scott needs to learn his place and take a knee to maga. Black life matters must take a knee to maga. They must learn their place. You get the point. Donald Trump talking about Panama talks about, we will either take it back or something very powerful is going to happen. This is what he said last night, threatening to invade Panama. Play this clip.
Donald Trump
They violated the agreement. They're not allowed to violate the agreement. China is running the Panama Canal. That was not given to China, that was given to Panama foolishly, but they violated the agreement treatment and we're going to take it back or something very powerful is going to happen.

Then Donald Trump whined and said Canada is very abusive to the United States of America, which literally nobody thinks other than Donald Trump and perhaps his deranged cult of MAGA followers, psychotic individual. Play this clip.
Donald Trump
Canada's been very abusive of the United States for many years. They don't allow our banks. Did you know that? Canada does not allow banks to go in. If you think about it, that's pretty amazing. If we have a US bank, they don't allow them to go in. Canada has been very tough on oil, on energy. They don't allow our farm products in. Essentially they don't allow a lot of things in and we allow everything to come in. It's been a one way street. We subsidize Canada by the tune of about $200 billion a year. And for what? What do we get out of it? We don't get anything out of it. I love the people of Canada. I disagree with the leadership of Canada and something's going to happen there. But if they want to play the game, I don't mind. We can play the game all they want. Mexico, we've had very good talks with them. And this is retaliatory. This is retaliatory. To a certain extent.

And then Donald Trump talks about inflicting pain on Americans. And he wants Americans to feel the pain, he says, and then it'll get better. But we need to feel pain now. He says, here, play this clip.
Donald Trump
No, no, I'm not concerned. We may have short term, some little pain and people understand that, but long term, the United States has been ripped off.

Now, we previously reported on October 29th of 2024 what the plan was. We dug up tweets and reposts from Elon Musk and Trump wasn't all that hard to dig it up, to be honest with our research team. But Elon Musk talked about necessary economic collapse that he and Donald Trump wanted to inflict. And they claim what they needed to do was they needed to. That markets will tumble to kind of crush the economy to just make people feel so much pain. And then once everything is destroyed and everything is devastated, then they want to rebuild it in the image of Musk and Trump. Once they destroy everybody's lives and then make all of us beg for them. Um, by the way, right now, as we speak, Trump's, he wants to talk about hedge funds. They supported Trump, okay? The oligarchs literally sat front row. Donald Trump's Treasury Department secretary, Scott Besant, who previously stated that tariffs would be devastating and inflationary and now is going along with the tariffs. He was George Soros, hedge fund manager. He then started his own hedge fund. Trump's whole team is made up of hedge fund guys, his commerce secretary, you name it. They're all hedge fund people. And by the way, other hedge fund people and these private equity people, they are shorting the American economy. They shorted the economy, meaning Trump's friends betted the American economy would crash. Why? Because you'd see they're talking about economic collapse. That's what we were trying to say here at the Midas Touch Network. That's what they're calling for so all these Trump billionaire oligarchs, they bet against the American economy in favor of a crash. So when it goes down, they make all of this money, then they take that money and they buy it when it's low and then they try to make money on it again. That's what the Trump oligarchs are doing. By the way, here's audio that was unearthed months ago that we tried to show you all of Elon Musk's talking about inflicting hardship on we the people.

Yeah, that, that necessarily involves some, some temporary hardship, but it will ensure long term prosperity.

And by the way, who's loving this? Who's benefiting in addition to Xi Jinping in China? Putin. Here's an interview that Putin gave on Russian TV talking about how Trump's going to make Europe submit. And by the way, I want to be clear, when Putin is saying this, he knows how to psychologically manipulate Donald Trump. Putin knows Europe is going to stand up to Trump. He wants to pressure Trump to now attack Europe, which Trump, by the way, says that he's going to now do tariffs on Europe. So Putin knows what he's doing here and how to play Trump like a fiddle. By the way, as Hillary Clinton warned in 2016. But play this clip.

Finally, I'll leave you with this. Here's a clip of Kamala Harris talking about what she would have created. Americans could have gotten 25,000 to buy $25,000 to buy their first home. But instead they're getting tariffs that will make homes even more unaffordable and harder to buy, all to feed Donald Trump's ego or Donald Trump's intent and desire to destroy America because he is a broken, disgusting, despicable, convicted felon, sexual predator, sexual assaulter, someone who's a horrible businessman who's bankrupted a ton of his companies. Anyway, play this clip.
Kamala Harris
And part of my approach is to say I'm going to employ and engage the private sector, in particular home builders with tax credits to give them the incentive to create new housing, 3 million by the end of my first term. And understanding that not everybody is, you know, handed a silver spoon, but works hard and is trying to save up for a down payment. Part of my plan, under my opportunity economy is to give first time home buyers a $25,000 down payment assistance so they can just get their foot in the door to be able to then engage in what will prove to be their opportunity to build intergenerational wealth. And here's.

Well, there you have it, folks. Let me know what you think about all of that. That's what Donald Trump's doing posting day six stuff crazy. Oh, he's also posting this. He's making more posts about claiming that he turned on California's water. By the way he did it. What he did was he diverted water from an area not to where the fires were, but to a flooded area, harming farmers. Many of them were right wing farmers as well. He did that, screwing them over. Then the water management had to stop because he was about to further destroy farms. Not even. And he ordered the federal government to move water to areas it didn't belong. It rained a week and a half ago, two weeks ago. So he's taking credit for the rain. This is an insane, delusional individual, okay? And I just want the rest of the world to know that most of a lot of us here in America, at least 75 million people or so who voted for Vice President Kamala, do not support this. Okay? This is embarrassing, humiliating for us and I know scary for you and for us as well. We're going to do everything we can here on this platform to resist. So anyway, hit subscribe.

Summary of "Trump PSYCHOTIC MELTDOWN gets EVEN WORSE" - The MeidasTouch Podcast
Episode Information:
The latest episode of The MeidasTouch Podcast delves deep into the escalating erratic behaviors and actions of former President Donald Trump. The Meiselas brothers, known for their incisive political commentary and engaging banter, dissect Trump's recent activities, their implications for American democracy, and the broader geopolitical landscape.
The episode opens with a critical analysis of Donald Trump's increasingly unstable actions and communications on social media. The political commentator highlights Trump's "psychotic meltdown," emphasizing the frequency and severity of his posts:
Political Commentator [00:30]: "Donald Trump's psychotic meltdown and psychotic behavior is accelerating."
Trump's social media activity includes bizarre posts about the January 6th insurrection, support for fellow MAGA figures like Marjorie Taylor Greene, and alarming threats against foreign nations.
A significant portion of the discussion centers on Trump's initiation of a "cataclysmic trade war," which the commentator argues has severely impacted both the American and global economies. The episode details Trump's inconsistent tariff policies, noting that his tariffs on China are less severe compared to those on Mexico and Canada. This inconsistency raises questions about his strategic intentions and the underlying motivations influenced by personal financial interests.
Trump's strategic reposting of content from Marjorie Taylor Greene is interpreted as a signal to his extremist base. The commentator posits that Trump is attempting to rally his core supporters by aligning himself with insurgent figures:
Political Commentator [00:45]: "He started a cataclysmic trade war... I think he's signaling to January 6th insurrectionists who he pardoned."
This alignment serves to reinforce Trump's influence among his most fervent supporters, while simultaneously alienating moderates and international allies.
Trump's foray into meme coins is scrutinized, revealing detrimental effects on the cryptocurrency market and his supporters' investments. The episode highlights the collapse of his meme coins, such as the Milani, which plummeted from $1.44 to nearly $0, resulting in substantial financial losses for his followers:
Political Commentator [08:48]: "He's selling meme coins from the Oval Office... his meme coins are crashing right now."
This venture not only undermines trust in cryptocurrency among skeptics but also exposes the financial recklessness associated with Trump's endorsement of volatile assets.
The appointment of Darren Betty as the acting Undersecretary of Diplomacy and Public Affairs in the State Department raises red flags. Betty's previous affiliations with white nationalists and his dismissive stance on Taiwan's sovereignty suggest a potential shift towards policies that could destabilize international relations:
Political Commentator [09:21]: "He [Betty] spent January 6th telling various black people... to learn their place and take a knee to MAGA."
This appointment is portrayed as a strategic move that aligns with Trump's broader agenda to weaken democratic institutions and foster divisive policies.
Trump's rhetoric extends to serious threats against countries like Panama and Canada. The episode features audio clips where Trump warns of potential invasions, illustrating his aggressive foreign policy stance:
Donald Trump [08:48]: "If they want to play the game all they want. We can play the game all they want."
Such statements not only strain diplomatic relations but also signal a willingness to destabilize international order for personal or political gain.
The podcast examines Vladimir Putin's influence over Trump, suggesting that Putin is exploiting Trump's vulnerabilities to manipulate Western geopolitical strategies. Putin's public declarations about Trump forcing Europe to submit are interpreted as psychological tactics to provoke overreactions:
Political Commentator [14:33]: "Putin knows how to psychologically manipulate Donald Trump... Putin knows Europe is going to stand up to Trump."
This dynamic underscores the complex interplay between authoritarian leaders and the internal political struggles within powerful nations.
The episode discusses the anticipated economic collapse driven by Trump's policies, which hedge funds and oligarchs have seemingly anticipated and positioned themselves to profit from. The commentator reveals that Trump's Treasury Department officials, many with hedge fund backgrounds, are actively shorting the American economy:
Political Commentator [12:05]: "Trump's whole team is made up of hedge fund people... They shorted the American economy."
This strategy exacerbates financial instability, as market manipulators benefit from the predicted downturn, further undermining economic resilience.
In contrast to Trump's destabilizing actions, the episode also highlights the current administration's efforts to support American citizens. Kamala Harris's initiatives for housing assistance are juxtaposed against Trump's policies, which are portrayed as ego-driven and detrimental to public welfare:
Political Commentator [16:08]: "Instead of supporting first-time homebuyers, Trump's tariffs are making homes even more unaffordable."
This comparison serves to emphasize the perceived failures of Trump's approach to governance and economic management.
The episode concludes with a strong denunciation of Trump's actions, urging listeners to recognize the threat posed by his continued influence. The commentator emphasizes the need for collective resistance to protect democratic values:
Political Commentator [17:31]: "We're going to do everything we can here on this platform to resist."
