Corporate News Gave Meidas THE MIDDLE FINGER!!! MeidasTouch Network and Ben Meiselas May 17 By Ben Meiselas Hey MeidasMighty, I am pissed!! Corporate news thinks we are all stupid and they are giving us the middle finger. They don’t realize that their Trump propaganda is now REJECTED by “we the people,” and we see right through the bait and switch. We knew they are Trump hustlers and grifters. And I’m not just talking about Fox News, who wants Meidas shut down. I’m talking about all the usual media suspects who have aggressively been reporting on Joe Biden’s mental acuity now that we are in late May 2025. These media gremlins are so in the tank for Trump, they’re prioritizing idiotic Biden hit pieces over actually focusing on Donald Trump causing Moody’s to downgrade our debt for the first time ever since Moody’s came into existence in 1917. Donald Trump is a disgusting piece of trash. He is a felon, a sexual abuser, a fraud. He hates America. If we’re talking about “mental acuity,” on any given day Donald Trump does 20 things that are more alarming than anything Biden has done his entire term. Biden ran a stable, normal government with predictable decision-making and clear values and principles. Donald Trump is taking bribes in the form of gold-plated 747 jets from Middle East nations that fund Hamas, and he’s praising regimes that funded Al Qaeda and contributed to 9/11. And he’s bragging about it—all while inflicting pain on the American people who can’t afford homes or groceries. And what the heck is the media doing!? Joe Biden?!! There is a damn hostile takeover of our federal government underway, and Trump wants to get rid of elections in 2026 if he has his way—and the media wants to vomit their legacy organ slop on us. We are PISSED! We are not taking it anymore. I’ve come back from my New York trip with renewed energy—not just to expose Trump but to continue to crush this corporate media nonsense into the ground. Sure, I’m glad we won all these awards and top chart recognitions in glitzy NY red carpets and events. But that’s not what we are about here. We are about saving democracy and rebuilding media. I don’t just want to beat these legacy media hucksters by hundreds of millions of views as we do now—I want to knock them out of any relevance as they peddle this crap!! Remember to add the MeidasTouch Podcast on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. I am so damn energized right now. I turn 40 on Monday. This is a new chapter in our fight together. We turn up the heat now more than ever. I want to expand my team at Meidas. I want to hire more people. I want to roll out more partnerships with top talent fleeing cable news and looking for a home to fight. I want to put it all on the line and ramp this operation into the next gear! Let’s go, Meidas Mighty. Let’s keep spreading the word and knocking out these fascist scumbags in America and around the world. I know articles like this from the chairman of a media company aren’t the norm. But I don’t care. Meidas is different. This is your movement and your network. This is our time to make our mark and leave nothing on the field. Are you with me?!!! Seriously, are you with me?!! Cause I am sure as hell with you!! Let’s go!!!! We need your help now. For real.

Note this kind comment from a new paid subscriber: "You are always on point. You tackle serious and divisive issues with tact and a measured coolness.” How Unfit? Dangerously Unfit In a cover story and two interviews, Time magazine gets the malignant ex-president on the record. We can't trust a word he says. STEVEN BESCHLOSS MAY 3 Criminal defendant Donald Trump emerging from the Manhattan courthouse on April 30, 2024. “God help us, “ said John Kelly, his former chief of staff. (Photo by Eduardo Munoz via Getty Images) Time magazine put Donald Trump on its cover this week with an unavoidable title: “If He Wins.” What readers find inside and online is a detailed article that largely matches the dangers plotted by “Project 2025” and its authoritarian agenda to move the country toward dictatorship. That includes mass deportations and detention camps for migrants, a once-independent Justice Department turned into a weapon of Trump’s whims and a once-nonpartisan civil service devolved into a cadre of loyalists. Time reporter Eric Cortellessa heard Trump’s plans to pardon January 6 insurrectionists, deploy the National Guard in American cities at will, give police immunity from prosecution, close the White House office responsible for pandemic preparedness, and permit red states to monitor women’s pregnancies and prosecute abortion ban violators. If you read the article you may be led to believe that Donald Trump has a systematic plan to pursue his darkest desires. But TIME also makes available a transcript of Cortellessa’s two interviews with Trump. Honestly, I barely survived the reading because it vividly displays how profoundly unfit this man is—morally and particularly intellectually—to be anywhere near the levers of power. They reveal a deeply untrustworthy man untethered from reality, swarming in lies, absorbed by grievance, unable to grapple with policy nuance and dependent on empty slogans to motivate himself. None of this is surprising, but when you read through the hours of interview material, you can see just how shallow his thinking is, how unreliable are his pronouncements and equivocations, how utterly ill-equipped he is to confront the complexities of our modern world—and, really, how crazy it is that serious people are forced to take this man seriously. My mind drifts to Rex Tillerson, Trump’s first secretary of state, privately calling his boss a “fucking moron.” (This was later confirmed in Bob Woodward and Robert Costa’s book Peril, but when asked about it Tillerson chose a more careful alternative: “It was challenging for me, coming from the disciplined, highly process-oriented Exxon Mobil corporation, to go to work for a man who is pretty undisciplined, doesn’t like to read, doesn’t read briefing reports, doesn’t like to get into the details of a lot of things, but rather just kind of says, ‘This is what I believe.’”) I often argue with myself over whether I should devote more space here to raising doubts and describing the dangers of this malignant man. But as Time puts it on the cover, fate has required us to address a reality “if he wins.” The consequences are real and require maximum seriousness and attention, especially at a time when so many other issues are roiling the body politic and could motivate Democratic voters to misunderstand their duty to their country. I’m thinking particularly about young protestors who imagine that their commitment to the Palestinian cause is a reason to reject President Biden, thereby increasing the possibility of a Trump win. Consider a few samples from Time’s Trump transcripts: On complying with the law over migrant deportations: I'll be doing everything on a very legal basis, just as I built the wall. You know, I built a tremendous wall, which gave us great numbers. I also was willing to do far more than I said I was going to do. I was also and am willing to—they should have completed the wall. I completed what I said I was going to do, much more than I said I was going to do. But as you do it, you realize you need more wall in different locations, locations that, at one point, people thought you wouldn't be able to—you wouldn't need. On the decline of violent crime and the FBI releasing statistics of a 13 percent drop in 2023: The FBI gave fake numbers…I don’t believe it. No, it’s a lie. It’s fake news…There is no way that crime went down over the last year. There's no way because you have migrant crime. Are they adding migrant crime? Or do they consider that a different form of crime?  On presidential immunity: If they [Supreme Court] said that a president doesn't get immunity, then Biden, I am sure, will be prosecuted for all of his crimes, because he's committed many crimes. If they say, on the other hand, that a president has immunity, and I happen to think a president has to have immunity, because otherwise it's going to be just a ceremonial position. But Biden has done so many things so badly. And I'm not even talking the overt crime. I'm talking about the border, allowing all of the death and destruction at the border…I wouldn't want to hurt Biden. I'm not looking to hurt Biden. I wouldn't want to hurt him. I have too much respect for the office. But he is willing to hurt a former President who is very popular, who got 75 million votes. I got more votes than any other sitting president in history. And I have probably eight cases right now that are all inspired by them, including my civil case. On his attack on the peaceful transfer of power: Number one, I made a speech that was peaceful and patriotic that nobody reports. Nobody talks about it: peacefully and patriotically. Nobody talks. You know, the committee never used those words. They refused to allow those words. Number two, I had like five tweets that were, go home, blah, blah. I got canceled because of those tweets…when you read my tweets, and when you see the speech that I made, and when you see the statement that I made in the Oval Office in the Rose Garden, during this very dramatic and horrible period, I'm a very innocent man. Nancy Pelosi is responsible, because she refused to take the 10,000 soldiers or National Guardsmen that I offered. She refused to take them. The mayor of Washington refused to take them too. And they're responsible, you know, for the Capital.  On litmus tests for GOP employees to say the election was stolen: I wouldn’t feel good about it, because I think anybody that doesn't see that that election was stolen. It just—you look at the proof. It's so vast, state legislatures where they didn't go through the legislature. They had to go through the legislature. You look at it, it’s so vast, all of the different things. I could give you report after report on state after state of all of the fraud that was committed in the election, and if you had a really open mind, you would say I was right. On how his statement that he would be a dictator on day one could scare people: I don't understand why it would. Everybody. Anybody that saw it would say I was laughing. He was laughing. The whole place was laughing. You know, it was a town hall? And the town hall, they were laughing like hell. That was said in jest…Remember “Russia, if you’re listening”? That was said in the exact same vein. “Russia, if you're listening.” Everybody knows that was said sarcastically. But they cut off the laughter. You know, they cut it off immediately. As soon as it was—immediately, it was cut off. But that was said, sarcastically, a joke, it was in jest. This is the same thing. So much more of this blathering. Even though Time’s reporter worked valiantly to push Trump, to get at the truth and pin him down, the overall effect is that virtually anything he says is unreliable. There’s nothing to hold him to—since nothing he says can’t be changed a day or a minute later if it serves him. Never has our country suffered a man who lies so freely and who millions of voters have chosen to reward anyway. As if—in this upside down world—his rejection of factual reality is a badge of honor. One last thing: Asked about all the former aides and cabinet secretaries who refuse to endorse or openly criticize him now, Trump either rejected them as incompetent or rejected the premise altogether. Look, when people think you don't like them and you're not going to bring them back. I'm not going to bring many of those people back. I had some great people. I had some bad people. When they think they are not in favor and they're not coming back, they're not inclined to endorse…If I call up 95% of those people that you say, if I made one phone call, they’d be endorsing me in two minutes.  But the truth, of course, is otherwise. In the coming months, it’s critical that many of those who know and worked for him speak out—not just once, but again and again, as the election draws closer. Remember a few from the list of two dozen chronicled by CNN last October: Mark Esper, Secretary of Defense: “I think he’s unfit for office.…He puts himself before country. His actions are all about him and not about the country. And then, of course, I believe he has integrity and character issues as well.” Mike Pence, Vice President: “The American people deserve to know that President Trump asked me to put him over my oath to the Constitution. … Anyone who puts himself over the Constitution should never be president of the United States.” Gen. Mark Milley, Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman: “We don’t take an oath to a wannabe dictator. We take an oath to the Constitution and we take an oath to the idea that is America—and we’re willing to die to protect it.” John Kelly, Chief of Staff: “A person that has nothing but contempt for our democratic institutions, our Constitution, and the rule of law. There is nothing more that can be said. God help us.” It will take more than divine intervention to ensure a man like this never sees the inside of the Oval Office again. It will take all of us—and tens of millions of others who decide that they will vote and do everything they can to ensure the survival of American democracy, the promise of America, basic human decency and the primacy of factual reality.
