Shame, shame, shame. The Trump regime is getting booed. People are yelling shame on you wherever they go and we see Hegseth getting booed right there. Now pivoting to what went down with Donald Trump over this past weekend. A very sickly and physically rotting Donald Trump spent the entire weekend playing golf on the taxpayer dime and rage, posting about how the media has it all wrong and his real approval ratings like 70% and it's not the worst in history, which is what's being reported. How pathetic can you get? But zoom in right here. Can we look at Donald Trump's hand? New bruises, new marks are emerging on his hand. You see it right there and again, others have reported on the discoloration on his hand, his swollen ankles. He struggles to walk in a straight line. We showed you, of course last week, Midas Touch was the first to call it out as he was zigzagging on the red carpet that he rolled out for Vladimir Putin. He can no longer walk in a straight line. While he was golfing this weekend, you see right here he's dragging that right leg again and he can't walk in a straight line. As John Jackson writes now Trump has bruising on both hands. If this was Biden, it would be wall to wall hysterical coverage on mainstream media and you'd be digging on the obviously false medical reports we've been provided by Trump for years. So true. It's why we need to call this out. Donald Trump's talking about the important things that he's doing, like playing golf with Roger Clemens and Roger Clemens son Casey. And Donald Trump wants everyone to know that it is absolutely fake news that people think that Roger Clemens took drugs. People think he took drugs, but nothing was proven. He never tested positive and Roger from the very beginning totally denies it. The rumors have gone on for years. It's fake news, everybody. That's what Donald Trump is posting from his social media platform as he physically decays and rots before our eyes. Donald Trump also spent the weekend whining, making posts like this except what is written and broadcast in the fake news. I now have the highest poll numbers I've ever had. Some in the 60s and even 70s. Thank you, Make America Great Again. To which California Governor Newsom responds, Except what is written in broadcasted in the fake news. I now have the highest poll numbers I've ever had, some in the 60s and even the 70s. Thank you, Make America Great Again. I love California Governor Gavin Newsom just trolling the hell out of Donald Trump. Uh, Donald Trump then posts the following as well. Despite a very high popularity and according to many, among the greatest eight months in presidential history, ABC and NBC Fake news, two of the worst and most biased networks in history give me 97% bad stories. If that is the case, they are simply an arm of the Democrat Party and should, according to many, have their FCC licenses revoked. I would be totally in favor of that because they're so biased and untruthful. An actual threat to our democracy. Maga, exclamation point. As Donald Trump is rolling out plans to literally send the military to invade Illinois, Donald Trump is saying that the fact that he has bad news coverage is a threat to democracy. As Donald Trump rolls out the national guard throughout Washington, D.C. in a show of fascist totalitarian force, he's whining about the news coverage he's getting. As Donald Trump is opening 1,000 concentration camps across the United States, spending our taxpayer dollars not on healthcare, not an education, not on making housing affordable, but on disappearing migrants and citizens to concentration camps and spending all this money for ICE to terrorize us all, Donald Trump is whining about the news coverage he is receiving. This is what he was doing all weekend, just whining about the news coverage. He goes, I just watched sloppy Chris Christie be interviewed on the Ratings Challenge news show this Week with George Stephanopoulos on abc. Fake news. By the way, what the hell happened to, uh, Jonathan Carl's hair? What the hell happened to your hair? What? What, What? What the hell happened to your hand? What the hell happened to your ankles? What the hell happened to your skin? What the hell happened to you? But frankly, even though Donald Trump is physically rotting now, physically decomposing and decaying before our eyes, his entire life has been one big rot. His entire life has been destroying, not building, bankrupting things, not having success. A lifelong loser, a lifelong con artist, a lifelong sexual predator, someone found liable for sexual assault, a felon, a fraud and a bankrupter and an overall horrible, vile human being and total piece of trash. Not afraid to call them that here on the Midas Touch Network. Then Donald Trump goes on to just whine even more there. Oh, then Donald Trump, who dodged the the Vietnam draft five times, got five deferments for fake bone spurs, although now those cankles may have actually made him not eligible if that happened back then. Trump has the audacity to attack Governor Wes Moore of Maryland, who actually did serve our armed services courageously. Did Wes Moore, the governor of Maryland, lie about getting a Bronze Star? Boom. The way Democrats act now, those Democrats don't just take it. Democrats fight back. Wes Moore writes. Did Donald Trump, the President of the United States, lie about an injury to dodge the Vietnam draft? Yes, Donald Trump did. Did Donald Trump call our troops suckers and losers? Yes, he did. Did Donald Trump say that John McCain is not a war hero because he was captured? He. Yes, he did. Does Donald Trump use the Arlington Cemetery as a prop? Yes, he does. Does Donald Trump act like a perpetual bootlicker for Vladimir Putin? Yes, he does. I played this clip so many times that I don't want to even play it again here. But I think it bears just saying one more time that Donald Trump on Friday in the Oval Office bragged that Vladimir Putin sent a photo of Putin and Trump in Alaska. Trump held up the photo of him and Putin and said, wow, look at me in Vladimir. I've invited Vladimir to show up at the World Cup. I can't wait for that. But I will show you this hat tip to Nina Celeste. She does some incredible lip reads. She did a lip read of what went down at Alaska, and It makes it 1000 times even worse, if you can imagine that When Donald Trump rolled out the red carpet for Vladimir Putin and had our troops bend down on their knees to roll out the red carpet for Putin, what Donald Trump was actually saying when you read Donald Trump's lips. Watch this. This is wild and sickening at the same time. Here, play this clip.

Friend. My friend. Welcome back. Pleasure to meet you again. Incredible. Oh, I won't, I won't. I am honored that you could witness this beautiful presentation. Hugely rare P2 jets. Thank you. There's cameras. Great to see you. It's great to see you. That's all for you. That's all for you. Thank you. Maybe we'll shake hands, Mr. President. It's the media all over the world. It's all over the world, huh? It's crazy. After you, President. Thank you. Hey, guys, Nina here. In case you don't know, I'm Nina. I do lip reading here on Tik Tok. Please do not take any of my lip readings for 100% fact or truth, as there's no way for me to know 100% what I think is being said is actually being said. Now, that being said, how do you guys think I did?

Hat tip to Ira J. Who's documenting all that's happening in Washington, D.C. right now. Take a look. As he approaches the National Guardsmen who are patrolling tourist areas in Washington, D.C. and he's like, dude, what are you doing here? And they're like, we're here to protect Washington, D.C. and he's like, we're fine. We're all good here. What the hell are you doing? And you'll notice that the National Guardsman hands like a card. If you want to. If you want to ask our public affairs officer, you could reach out, practically begging, like, please call my public affairs officer. I don't want to be here. Here, play this clip.

What's the mission? What's the mission?
E
To keep DC safe and beautiful.
B
DC Already safe and beautiful.
E
Would you like the contact to our PAO Public affairs office?
B
Oh, yes, sir.
E
I got you.
B
How y' all doing, Doc?
E
Good. You? Great. Now, going into the MAGA verse, the Midas Touch network was the first network to break the news. We had the Democratic ranking member of the House oversight that of the 33,000 documents that were turned over to the House of Representatives by the DOJ that claimed to be the Epstein files on Friday, Basically all of them, 97, 98%, were old recycled documents that had already been produced previously. These are not the files, the ones with Trump's name on it. These are not the 100,000 files or 3 gigabyte whatever, the 300 gigabytes of information that, that the DOJ has, just turn over the Epstein files. But here MAGA Republican timber Chad is saying, look, uh, we can't trust it because clearly the Biden, clearly Biden tampered with it. That's what happened. Biden. It's Biden's fault. These are all such losers. Everything's Biden's fault. Buddha Jej's fault. They did it. We take no responsibility here. Just play this clip.
G
I was the one that's that urged the chairman in the committee and move forward the subpoena. Ghislaine Maxwell. I think we need to get to the bottom of it and I think President Trump wants to get to the bottom of it. And you know good and well if Trump was on any of those files, anything that was bad and negative towards him, the Biden administration would have put it out. They had it for four years. Trump knows, you know, knew this guy and he said he was a dirtbag. He banned him from marijuana over 15 years ago before he was suicided. So I just think this thing is, is a bad situation and I don't know if we'll ever get to the bottom of it because I don't trust the Biden administration because they had those files for four years. I don't know what they removed or doctored or changed. I don't trust them as far as I could throw the dome off the Capitol, Brother and dad gamut. We need to get to the bottom. That's why people, when you delay these things, it just allows the corruption to creep in. And I'm thinking that, I think that's what has happened now.
E
Yeah, just, just so utterly lame. And I just want to show you these back to back videos right here because it's such a wild concept to me. Video 1 I'm going to show you Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Meet the Press this weekend where he was asked like, did you bomb an American factory in Ukraine because Russia bombed an American electronics factory in western Ukraine. They targeted American, American property. And Lavrov knows that Trump's his little bootlicker that Trumps his little puppet. That Lavrov's like, yeah, we did it. We absolutely did it. I was, I was telling my wife the story about Lavrov shows. But before I said what happened? And she said, so what? Russia denied it. Right? Like Russia's like, we didn't do it. Right. It was an accident. I go, no, no, no, no, no, Russia said they did it. Russia said, we don't care, we did it. It's like, huh? I said, yeah, that's what happened. Here. Watch what Russia's foreign minister says. Play this clip.
H
This week, Russia bombed an American owned factory near the Hungarian Porter border. I've spoken to people who frankly see that as a slap in the face to President Trump, to the entire peace process. Isn't it?
I
Well, I would say that those who are sincerely interested in understanding what is going on would know, should know by now that never ever Russia deliberately targeted any sites which are not linked to military abilities of Ukraine.
H
This is an electronics factory though, sir. This is an electronics factory. I've spoken to people on the ground there. It builds coffee machines among other electronics. This is not a military site.
I
Well, I understand that some people are really naive and when they see a coffee machine in the window, they believe that this is the place where coffee machines are produced. Our intelligence has very good information. And we target coffee only, as I said, either military enterprises, military sites, or industrial enterprises directly involved in producing military equipment for Ukrainian, for Ukrainian army.
E
And then here's what JD Vance. Just dance Vance says when he, he's asked by Kristen Welker, are you enraged that Russia is targeting America? Russia's hitting American factories. Surely that's making you mad. To which Just dance JD Vance goes. That's war. That's war. No statement from Donald Trump. No statement on Ukrainian Independence Day. By the way, Prime Minister Carney was there on Ukrainian Independence Day. All world leaders wished Ukraine Happy Independence Day, 34 years since it's declared independence. Nothing from the United States, but this from JD Vance. Play this clip.
H
Were you enraged when you learned that Russia targeted an American company based in Ukraine?
J
I don't like, I don't, I don't like it, Kristen, but this is a war and this is why we want to stop the killing. The Russians have done a lot of things that we don't like. A lot of civilians have died. We've condemned that stuff from the get go. And frankly, President Trump has done more to apply pressure and to apply economic leverage to the Russians certainly than Joe Biden did for three and a half years when he did nothing but talk but do nothing to bring the killing to a stop.

In this episode, the Meiselas brothers—Ben, Brett, and Jordy—analyze the unraveling of Donald Trump’s personal, political, and physical state. They dissect recent events and media coverage about Trump, his apparent health decline, ongoing legal and ethical crises, his obsession with poll numbers, and the increasing authoritarian tendencies under his influence. Their discussion is laced with the brothers’ trademark humor, sharp criticism, and unwavering defense of democracy, while highlighting recent Republican deflections, bizarre media moments, and disturbing foreign policy developments.
The Meiselas brothers blend biting satire, outrage, and a sense of urgency, exposing hypocrisy and calling out both Republican leadership and media complicity. Their dynamic combines serious political critique with moments of levity, sibling banter, and a relentless focus on protecting democracy.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone concerned about the state of American democracy, the normalization of authoritarianism, and the ongoing unraveling of the Trump era — all covered with humor, clarity, and righteous outrage by the MeidasTouch team.
