Take Your Tariffs and Shove It Up Your A**!!! MeidasTouch Network and Ben Meiselas Aug 11 By Ben Meiselas Our Editor-In-Chief Ron Filipkowski is out this week, so you’re stuck with me. I’ll do my best. A reminder: we have grown with zero investors. Meidas remains the most-watched digital news network in the United States. Subscribe today and help us stay on top. Ok, back to my post. Why did I title it: “Take Your Tariffs and Shove It Up Your A**??” That was in the video I just released about Trump supporters turning against Trump. A Trump supporter was talking about how their blood thinner medication, which they get overseas, has just gotten massively more expensive—and they’re not sure how they will survive. I also highlighted the story of a Latino Trump supporter who says he feels “shame” voting for Trump after he was racially profiled and nearly detained by ICE. The new MAGA talking point is out. We’ve covered it on the MeidasTouch Network today. Republican leaders are saying prices are much higher but that we all need to feel this suffering for the greater good of the country. Republican Ralph Norman parroted this talking point and said paying more is patriotic. Higher prices should make us happy, Republicans now say. Meanwhile, Donald Trump just announced that one of the leaders of the Heritage Foundation, a guy named EJ Antoni, will become the Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics after Trump fired the last commissioner because he didn’t like the numbers. Antoni is a hack and one of the worst people for this job. This is part of the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025. SICKOS! I predict there will be many resignations from the Bureau of Labor Statistics coming soon. Of course, I covered Donald Trump taking over the DC Metropolitan Police Department, although most of his presser was focused on attacking President Zelensky. Trump repeatedly said he was meeting Putin in Russia, despite the meeting actually being in Alaska on Friday. Russia has escalated its war efforts in Ukraine in advance of the Friday meeting. They are bloodthirsty—like Trump. This was another deranged day in the Trump fascist regime. We will keep on covering it all fearlessly. We will make sure we cover what corporate news refuses to cover. I am not making any apologies for it, and I don’t care if this hurts our sponsors or our revenue. This is our duty as independent reporters. We’ve got this Substack, which helps fuel the network, so if the corporate establishment retaliates against us, I just don’t care.
