T Mobile Yesterday may have been the worst day in modern presidential history. Or maybe presidential history in general. Let me just show you. Construction completed on the Rose Garden yesterday. Take a look at the concrete mess that is the Rose Garden. They've made the drainage into American flags. As our friend Jojo from Juror says, the drainage grates are American flags. The drainage grates on the ground for drainage. If that ain't a metaphor, I don't know what is. And it is a metaphor because you take a look at what else is happening in addition to Donald Trump destroying the east wing of the White House to turn it into a 90,000 square foot golden ballroom. And Trump said yesterday he would not rule out taking foreign donations from the Middle east and others to to reconstruct the White House. We received terrible job numbers yesterday. Some of the worst job numbers, worst job report in modern times, really since the Great Recession of 2008. Jobs fell way below expectations. There was a massive revision downward regarding the prior job reports. Remember when Trump and Magaz were like the experts are all wrong. We're creating jobs. I remember when I was saying, uh, I'm tell you we're losing jobs because I'm focused on the systemic issues within the economy. Turns out that not that many jobs were created and that we are headed completely in the wrong direction. And by the way, it's not just the jobs as well. When you look at some of the other economic data, it's some of the worst data that's exist in modern history as well. And what's Donald Trump doing when you see then what the GOP doing? They're making memes like this make automobiles great again. And it's a photo of Donald Trump in a, in a front of an interesting car. That's what you want to make great again. Those automobiles. Well, the car pictured behind Donald Trump is a stock image of a Russian Soviet made VAZ 2101 better known as the Lada 1200. It is not an American made car. So I guess, Donald, it is make Russian manufacturing grade. Again, literally, of all of the cars you could have chosen, you couldn't choose like a Ford. You had to choose a lot. 1200 and it's all falling apart. Whether it's the Rose Garden, the East Wing, our economy, moldy vents in the White House. Our research team found that. They zoomed in on the vents, all mold right there. And it looks like again, it could be toxic mold. People are not treating the White House. It's just a bunch of gross people. Look, even William beach, who was Donald Trump's commissioner for the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, bls, he's come out condemning what Donald Trump did after the job report numbers. Donald Trump, I'm sure you know by now, fired the current commissioner of the Bureau and Labor Statistics because Donald Trump was a little baby and he didn't like the jobs report. So he said, you're fired, lady. You're fired, lady. William beach was appointed by Donald Trump. This was the Bureau of Labor Statistics commissioner under Trump. This is what, this is what Trump's guy says just so he could be clear. So you can go, oh, well, Ben, you don't like Trump. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. No, I don't like idiots. I don't like traitors. I don't like criminals. I don't like sexual abusers. I don't like felons, okay? That's why I don't like Donald Trump. I know he's not some random rich guy in Mar a Lago. He's those things that I said and he's destroying our economy. But listen to what Trump's guy, who had the same job as the person Trump just fired, what a Trump sky say. The totally groundless firing of Dr. Erica McCain for my successor as Commissioner of Labor Statistics at BLS sets a dangerous precedent and undermines the statistical mission of the Bureau. Then he gives a more fulsome statement. It's all falling apart. When you look at Las Vegas, what the Vegas workers say is that their tips are over 50% down. Do you know why? Because less people are going to Vegas. So the no tax on tips gimmick doesn't really matter. Cause number one, they weren't reporting their tips anyway. That's the truth. But the second fact is, is that they're making half the amount of money or less. Because let's face it, Vegas is in a recession right now. And let's face it, America is basically in a recession right now, although that indicator hasn't officially been called yet, but it should be obvious to anybody looking at the data. More cover up of Ghislaine Maxwell, Donald Trump's bud. Convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell. Yesterday, she was moved from the Tallahassee, Florida facility where she was sentenced to serve 20 plus years in prison. After her conviction, she was whisked away and she got an exemption. She got an exemption for being a sex trafficker after getting immunity from the Trump regime. And do you know what the Trump regime did? They moved her to a minimum security facility. And they moved her to this minimum security facility. You wanna know where? In Southeast Texas, which is basically like a resort where they don't allow sex traffickers. But she got an exemption. Oh, guess what else? She got favorable treatment from Congress. I'll do a whole other video about this, but did you hear that the House gop, James Colmer, James Comer, who leads the Oversight Committee, despite the fact that the Democrats did a maneuver where they got Elaine Maxwell's deposition for August 11, the MAGA Republicans granted Ghislaine Maxwell an extension. And she doesn't have to sit for a deposition now through at least September 29, when the Supreme Court will first rule on her petition for a retrial or for the charges against her to be thrown out. So James Colmer and the MAGA Republicans, even though they were outmaneuvered by the Democrats, they're now negotiating with Ghislaine Maxwell. They said, we won't give you immunity, but sure, we'll extend your deposition through September 29, and then maybe this will all go away for Donald. Well, it's not going to go away because Americans know that the GOP stands for Guardians of Pedos, because that's, that's what you're doing right now. You are guardians of pedos. Literally, all of the stuff that you would accuse Democrats of baselessly, ooh, there's a secret cabal covering up for all the pedos out there. Literally, that's what the MAGA Republicans are doing right now because of Donald Trump's connections with Jeffrey Epstein that go back deep, deep where Donald Trump, even this past week, as you now know, admitted, and he said that Epstein stole his little girls. The underage girls who were working at Mar a Lago were stolen by Epstein, who then sex trafficked him. And Donald Trump seemed not to be mad about the sex trafficking part, but that his girls were, to use, in Donald Trump's words, stolen. Like Virginia Giuffre, who has since died by suicide as a result of all of the trauma she's experienced in her life. And Virginia Giuffre's family is out there and they are talking about how offensive it is that the Trump regime is treating Ghislaine Maxwell like she's some hero and how all the MAGA media is like, oh, Ghislaine Maxwell is innocent and we need to protect her and the special treatment that she is being given. Just think about all the stuff that happened. Oh, and I didn't even mention yet that Donald Trump claimed that he was sending nuclear submarines near Russia because Donald Trump didn't like the tweets or the social media posts by Russia's former president, Dimitri Medvedev. So Donald Trump says that he was sending nuclear submarines. That's. That's Donald Trump's reaction. He gets mad at social media posts, so he says he's sending nuclear submarines. Donald Trump gets mad at the jobs report, so he fires the bls, the Bureau of Labor Statistics commissioner. Oh, and then Donald Trump posts this American coup d' etat with an upside down flag the and accusing Obama's administration of engaging in a coup. Then Donald Trump goes, in my opinion, today's job numbers were rigged in order to make the Republicans and me look bad. This is my issue, guys, as well. This is what I say over and over again. Put aside politics, right? I don't like politics. I like normalcy. I like empathy. I like logic and facts and science and helping people. That's what I like. So when I see these freaking losers, Trump and all these people, it's rigged. It's rigged. This is rigged. That's rigged. This is rigged. A bunch of damn babies who should not be anywhere near positions of leadership. It was rigged. So I fired the labor statistics person. Your own guy, Donald William beach, who I showed you before, said that that move was reprehensible and it is. And the baby behavior, it's rigged. This is Donald Trump's post from earlier yesterday. I was just informed about the jobs numbers. It's rigged. W. Everyone's coming after me. Shut up. Shut up and just be quiet. Donald Trump went on Newsmax and gave this interview yesterday as well where he talked about Caroline Levitt's lips. He said, I really like her lips, the way her lips move. Your lips are so lippy. I like those lips. The hell? You frickin weirdo. You creepy weirdo. Here, play this clip. Caroline Levitt.
Donald Trump
She'S become a star. It's that face. It's that brain. It's those lips. The way they move. They move like she's a machine gun. Is she in the room?
Political Commentator
She's in the room.
Donald Trump
She's a star and she's great. She's a great person, actually. But she, she's, I don't think anybody has ever had a better press secretary than Caroline. She's been amazing.
Political Commentator
How gross is that? Oh, and then Donald Trump says, well, the biggest scandal in the history of our country. He goes, the biggest scandal is Russiagate. And Obama here play this cl.
Donald Trump
It could be the biggest scandal in the history of our country, but it continues onward. And that continues onward. You know, that scandal has continued from the beginning. They have every, everything they do is a hoax. They're no good at anything other than some forms of nasty politics.
Political Commentator
And just so you see what they're doing on right wing media and how foul and filthy and disgusting they are, they're bringing on Ghislaine Maxwell's family members, not the victims. Ghislaine Maxwell's family members to trash the victims. I want you to watch this. Let's play it. What would you like to say in response? And what should people know about Virginia, the late Virginia Jeffrey? Look, the simple position is that it.
Donald Trump
Is Virginia Giuffre who has lied about.

Summary of "Trump Suffers the Wrath of Us All as His Life Collapses" – The MeidasTouch Podcast
Release Date: August 2, 2025
In this episode of The MeidasTouch Podcast, the Meiselas brothers delve into the tumultuous period surrounding former President Donald Trump, examining his actions, their impact on the American economy, and the broader implications for democracy. The discussion is marked by incisive commentary, sharp criticisms, and a commitment to uncovering truths that affect the nation's political and economic landscape.
The podcast opens with a critical analysis of the physical alterations to prominent White House areas under Trump's administration. The Political Commentator highlights the completion of construction in the Rose Garden, criticizing its aesthetics and symbolic implications.
"Construction completed on the Rose Garden yesterday. Take a look at the concrete mess that is the Rose Garden... They made the drainage into American flags. If that ain't a metaphor, I don't know what is." [00:28]
Further scrutiny is directed at Trump's renovation of the East Wing into a lavish golden ballroom, raising concerns about prioritizing opulence over functionality.
"Donald Trump destroying the east wing of the White House to turn it into a 90,000 square foot golden ballroom." [00:28]
A significant portion of the discussion centers on the dire state of the U.S. economy, with particular emphasis on the latest job report. The Political Commentator asserts that yesterday's job numbers represent some of the worst since the Great Recession of 2008.
"Jobs fell way below expectations. There was a massive revision downward regarding the prior job reports... we're headed completely in the wrong direction." [00:28]
The commentator contrasts Trump's previous assertions of job growth with the current statistics, highlighting a disconnect between leadership's claims and the economic reality faced by Americans.
"I was saying, uh, I'm tell you we're losing jobs because I'm focused on the systemic issues within the economy. Turns out that not that many jobs were created and that we are headed completely in the wrong direction." [00:28]
The episode critiques the GOP's attempts to counteract negative economic news through nostalgic slogans like "make automobiles great again." The Political Commentator points out the irony of promoting outdated Russian-made cars instead of supporting American manufacturing.
"The car pictured behind Donald Trump is a stock image of a Russian Soviet made VAZ 2101 better known as the Lada 1200. It is not an American made car." [00:28]
This segment underscores a perceived lack of authenticity in GOP messaging and a failure to address core economic issues.
A significant focus is placed on former confidant Ghislaine Maxwell and the GOP's handling of her case. The Political Commentator criticizes the Republicans for granting Maxwell favorable treatment, which is viewed as a cover-up for deeper issues related to sex trafficking networks.
"The MAGA Republicans granted Ghislaine Maxwell an extension... The GOP stands for Guardians of Pedos." [00:28]
The discussion highlights Maxwell's transfer to a minimum-security facility and the bipartisan maneuvers to delay her deposition, suggesting an intent to shield influential individuals from accountability.
The podcast scrutinizes Trump's recent public statements and behavior, portraying them as indicative of instability and a disconnect from reality. Trump's remarks on sending nuclear submarines in response to social media posts and his derogatory comments about his press secretary are highlighted as examples of erratic leadership.
"Donald Trump says that he was sending nuclear submarines because he didn't like the tweets or the social media posts by Russia's former president." [00:28]
"Donald Trump: She's a star and she's great. She's a great person, actually. But she, she's, I don't think anybody has ever had a better press secretary than Caroline." [10:36]
The commentator emphasizes the inappropriate nature of such statements, reflecting poorly on Trump's judgment and leadership qualities.
The episode critiques Trump's characterization of "Russiagate" as the "biggest scandal in the history of our country," dismissing it as a political hoax orchestrated by Democrats. The Political Commentator challenges this narrative, suggesting it is a deflection from substantive issues.
"Donald Trump claims that the biggest scandal is Russiagate... that scandal has continued from the beginning. They have every, everything they do is a hoax." [00:28]
Additionally, the podcast highlights the negative portrayal of victims' families by right-wing media, further undermining public trust and empathy.
"They're bringing on Ghislaine Maxwell's family members, not the victims. Ghislaine Maxwell's family members to trash the victims." [11:24]
In wrapping up, the Political Commentator reiterates the detrimental impact of Trump's leadership on the economy and national integrity. The podcast concludes with a call to listeners to support the movement against these destructive forces, emphasizing the importance of democracy and factual discourse.
"I don't like Donald Trump... he's destroying our economy." [00:28]
"Everybody hit subscribe. Let's get to 6 million subscribers and thanks for watching new Midas merch drop." [12:00]
