In short

The episode is a politically critical rant claiming Donald Trump is “physically and mentally deteriorating” and that his regime is collapsing. The host says Trump is removing Instagram comments after people call his conduct “abhorrent,” and cites posts where Trump insults reporters (calling Caitlin Collins “stupid and nasty,” and other women reporters “ugly,” “piggy,” and suggesting one couldn’t pass a “cognitive exam”). Key claims include that Trump fired an architect over the “Golden Ballroom,” is “stiffing” contractors, and is obsessed with “tiny trucks/tiny cars” while building a larger ballroom.

Notable examples

Trump’s “FIFA Peace Prize” ceremony in Washington with Gianni Infantino; limited White House Instagram comments on a “Daddy’s Home” post; and a claim that U.S. Treasury yields show a worsening economy.

2:26Ben Meiselas:way fair every style every home donald trump is having an ugly meltdown on saturday morning as he continues to physically and mentally deteriorate and as his regime continues to collapse he's on social media making post after post he's also removing comments from some of his posts on instagram because people are responding that his conduct is abhorrent and disgusting and so he's too afraid to have those comments public. I'll talk about that in a moment. So here's what he's posting this morning. Caitlin Collins of Fake News CNN, always stupid and nasty, asked me why the new ballroom was costing more money than originally thought one year ago.

3:08Ben Meiselas:I said because it is going to be double the size and the quality of finishes and interiors has been brought to the highest level. You know that Donald Trump fired the architect on the golden ballroom this week after, of course, ripping down the East Wing of the White House. We believe that Donald Trump is not paying the contractors as well in connection with this, or he's stiffing them, which is a trademark of Donald Trump's. And notice how he calls Caitlin Collins here stupid and nasty. This follows Donald Trump referring to another female reporter from the New York Times as ugly, a female reporter from Bloomberg as piggy and saying, be quiet, Piggy and Donald Trump telling another reporter, a female reporter, that she would not be able to pass the cognitive exam that he did.

3:57Ben Meiselas:Donald Trump is a complete and total maniac, but he certainly directs a lot of his venom more towards women, and it tells you a lot about Donald Trump as well. And he's been just calling people the R word. I mean, just a horrific human being. He posts the following as well. Trump's affordability crusade beats the streets with tiny truck solution. When reliable transportation became unaffordable for average families under Biden, it says it trapped millions in a cycle of debt. Just stop blaming Biden for everything. You've been in charge now for about a year, your tiny trucks or your tiny car crusade.

4:35Ben Meiselas:No one even knows what the heck you are even talking about here. This is so utterly pathetic this morning. You're talking about tiny cars, building your ballroom bigger, that it's going to make the White House just look small and gross. What the heck are you doing? By the way, everybody, please make sure you subscribe to our YouTube channel. We're on our way to 6 million subscribers. As you know, the Midas Touch Network is leading all independent media right now. We're under attack from Trump and state regime media, which calls itself Fox. We need to keep on growing. You may think you're subscribed, but you may not actually be subscribed.

5:09Ben Meiselas:So just check your subscribe and hit the subscribe button. Meanwhile, you have California Governor Gavin Newsom mocking Donald Trump for receiving his Participation Peace Award, Donald Trump and FIFA, because Donald Trump hangs out with the head of FIFA, the soccer or football tournament, depending on where you are in the world. He hangs out with the guy once a week. Guy's very corrupt, in my opinion. And FIFA at a leadership level, very, very corrupt, has all these entanglements. When you delve deeper, it gets really gross. In any event, Donald Trump and the head of FIFA created a peace prize for Donald Trump, the FIFA Peace Prize.

5:46Ben Meiselas:And Donald Trump got a medal and a trophy for this fake peace prize. Why is FIFA a soccer tournament giving out peace prizes? And Donald Trump was the only nominee and he won his own award and they held a ceremony for him in Washington, D.C. And so California Governor Gavin Newsom mocked it and said, And Newsom was awarded Kohl's inaugural peace prize. It comes with$50 in Kohl's cash. Do we recognize the humiliation ritual that Donald Trump is putting the United States through? I mean, this is like one of the most embarrassing things to see the head of FIFA said, and you can wear your medal wherever you go.

6:24Ben Meiselas:Feel free to wear it. And Donald Trump was legitimately happy to get a fake peace prize that he created for himself. It just set aside the Democrat, Republican, independent thing. This guy's like a demented individual, like a sick and demented individual. And then Donald Trump rants, why would Fox and Friends, Weekend of all things, put on a stockbroker named Peter Schiff, a Trump-hating loser who has already proven to be wrong? Either the show made a mistake or it is heading in a different direction. He thinks prices are going up when in fact they are coming substantially down. Oh, did you know that everybody that prices are actually going down?

7:05Don't believe your own eyes when you leave your home. Just listen to what Donald Trump, who awards himself fake peace prizes, has to say. Gasoline hit$1.99 a gallon yesterday. Everybody gas is$1.99 and is down big since Biden. Other prices are almost all down.

7:23Ben Meiselas:Biden caused the affordability crisis. I'm fixing it along with everything else much of it like the border is already fixed check out the booker who put the jerk on check out the this guy is the most pathetic small human and it is such a disgrace that people put this guy in power what one other thing I want to point out here too this is from the treasury department as well I'm gonna point out more things than just one but I want to point this out. U.S. Treasuries, this is what the Treasury Department says. U.S. Treasuries are having their best year since 2020. And the investors who had confidence and faith in Trump's economic policies have been richly rewarded.

8:06Never bet against it. What happened in 2020? COVID. So Treasury yields were up in 2020 when the economy was horrible and Treasury yields are up now in 2025 when the economy is horrible. I don't know. Let me do a quick Google search and find out that when the treasury yields are high for the 10 year and 30 year, is that a good reflection of the economy or a bad reflection? Oh, wait. It shows inflation is surging. It shows that the cost of borrowing is higher, which means that mortgage rates are up and all of the other things that people need to do to borrow is more expensive. and it reflects a bad economy because people are moving towards safer ways to keep their money.

8:57And so they move towards treasuries. This chart right here that the Treasury Department's posting actually reflects a bad economy, which is why yields were up in 2020, folks. It's why we need to make sure that we get good sources of news, authentic sources of news that tell you the truth and not the propaganda. So lots of people ask me, how do I stay up to date on the news all the time in order to do these podcasts, in order to do this YouTube channel? Well, my go-to news source is Ground News. You guys, this is a subscriber-funded app and news site, and every day they pull in thousands of articles from around the world and organize them by story and then show you what the right is reporting, what the center is reporting, and what the left is reporting.

9:42It's a game changer because as active, responsible citizens, we must get our news from reliable sources. And Trump's America being informed about the facts and media bias is probably the most important thing we can do. That's why we love ground news for every article. They also tell you, did a media conglomerate put this news out or was it independent media? And they also list the degree of factuality, which is interesting as I think that there are a lot of news sources from media conglomerates that have lower factuality than independent media. I use the Ground News Vantage subscription, and we're going to give you that Ground News Vantage subscription 40 % off.

10:20Go to ground.news.mtn to get 40 % off the Ground News Vantage plan that I use every morning and every afternoon and every night. I especially like their blind spot feed, which highlights stories that are disproportionately covered by one side on the political spectrum. Like this story right here, Ukrainian women embrace combat roles as technology reshapes the battlefield. This is being overwhelmingly covered by the left and the center of the political spectrum, but very little on the right. Why? Because they don't want to promote any heroism in Ukraine, in my opinion. So Ground News is subscriber funded by subscribing.

11:00You're not only getting a tool we all need today. You're also supporting our work here on this YouTube channel. That's G-R-O-U-N-D dot news slash MTN. And we pin the link to purchase your subscription below. One more time, ground.news slash MTN. And talking about Ukraine, European security, this to me is not getting enough attention. Donald Trump has essentially declared a war against all of Europe and that he wants regime change in Europe. That's the official policy of the United States. And I'm not being hyperbolic. The United States put out its 2025 national security strategy. And in it, as it relates to Europe, it says that the United States will pursue policies ending the perception and preventing the reality of NATO as a perpetually expanding alliance.

11:51the United States will cultivate resistance to Europe's current trajectory within European nations. Just think about it. They're going to attack NATO is what the United States says as a permanent expanding alliance and the U.S. will cultivate resistance to Europe's current trajectory within European nations. In other words the United States will support parties like the AFD and the Reform Party, which is not actually a Reform Party, and others who will dismantle the European Union. The policy of the U.S. is to destroy the European Union as written in the United States policy. So I'm not like, you know, giving you, I just read for you what official U.S.

12:35policy is right now. And it's coming from people who attack pop stars like Sabrina Carpenter and steal her music. And when she calls them out, they lasted about two days putting up this disgusting video that they put up of migrants being brutalized by ICE using Sabrina Carpenter's music. When Sabrina Carpenter called them out and said, this video is evil and disgusting. Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda. Her reply got 138.8 million views. And then the White House deleted the post. Stand on business. If you want to steal music, you can't handle the heat from Sabrina Carpenter.

13:20So you think that you can handle the heat from Putin and Xi Jinping? Huh? You don't want the smoke? Then don't start the fire. What are you doing, White House? How ridiculous and weak and pathetic is it? Yeah, it's people who give themselves fake peace awards. Look right here. This was a White House post from its Instagram account. You see Donald Trump and the head of FIFA, Gianni Infantino, who's always in the White House. Comments on this post have been limited. You can't comment on it or look at the comments. You can look at the one where Donald Trump posted the following. This is from the White House account, Daddy's Home, and it's a photo of Donald Trump as Daddy.

13:57The hell is going on here? How weird and gross and creepy. and you have lots of people responding to that one. The comments are still up there. Daddy wears drag makeup and hairspray while he stuffs his diaper sleeping on live TV. Daddy can pronounce Yosemite or acetaminophen. Daddy sundowning. Imagine idolizing a president calling him daddy. Have a father already. Thanks. I wish I could unsee this. Creepiest message ever. Put him in a nursing home. This is so weird. And by the way, one of the things we're seeing as it appears that Donald Trump's mental state is declining rapidly.

14:36Ben Meiselas:They're putting signs across the White House, Oval Office, West Wing, so he knows where to go. Anybody say LeCambi? Can anybody say LeCambi? Google it. Google it. L-E-Q-E-M-B-I. Talking about Donald Trump being deranged, here are some posts that he made. These are some emails that he's been sending this morning. Ben, this isn't about a photo or dinner. This is about something historic. I want you to be a part of it. Join the MAGA Hall of Fame or this email. Hey, it's Donald. We need to talk. It's important. Or this. I have a big question to ask you, Ben. Drum roll, please. Should I host a meet and greet at Mar-a-Lago or Trump Tower?

15:17Ben Meiselas:I really don't care. I really don't care. Just bring down prices. Make things more affordable. You promised you would end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours. You Stop humiliating the United States. Remove your tariffs against the world. Stop having these border patrol ICE Gestapo invading our communities and brutalizing human beings. Stop your war crimes. Just woosah and behave like a normal human being. Behave like a normal human being. Let me just show you what former President Biden said at a speech that he gave. I'm going to do a longer video on this. But he gave this speech at the LGBTQ Awards, LGBTQ Rights Forum.

16:00Ben Meiselas:Take a look at this. It's such a contrast. He's like, I know there's probably so many young people right now who are watching this and are saying, am I loved? Do people care about me? And he goes, you are loved and people do care about you. Here play this, Clint. Folks, a lot has gotten lost in all the noise, with terms like DEI and being weaponized and people's basic identity turned into political football. Right now, in no small part because of the vitriol in our national debate, there are young people sitting alone at home as I speak, literally, having closed doors, scrolling through social media, staring at the ceiling, wondering, literally, wondering whether they've talked, you are, and I've talked to many of these young women and women, wondering whether we'll ever be loved, will they ever marry, will they ever have a family, ever truly be accepted for who they are.

17:13So my message to young people is this, just be you. To who you are. You are loved. You're heard. And you're increasing understanding you belong. You belong, you belong, you belong. I mean it. Things are changing.

17:40Quote.

17:41Ben Meiselas:Now contrast that to Donald Trump's speech that he gave last night. Here's what he said where he said, we're the hottest country. We're so hot. We're so hot. I'll play this clip. Done with the hottest. I said it this morning. A year ago, we were a dead country. And now we're the hottest country anywhere in the world. And that's said by every single leader in the world. And I said it this morning, the same thing. And we had a lot of the world's leaders there at FIFA. And nobody stood up and objected. Nobody smiled. Nobody rolled their eyes. We're the hottest country anywhere in the world. But on state regime media known as Fox, you have people like Laura Ingraham saying, this is great.

18:24This is what we want. He's getting his awards as a board member of the Kennedy Center. This is exactly what I want to see. Donald Trump getting fake peace awards. Here, play this clip. Now, as a Kennedy Center board member, I was really happy not only to see the president having fun and being celebrated, he was honored, actually, with the first FIFA Peace Award. And they had this lead up video, which was incredibly well produced. And even I had forgotten how many wars, how many conflicts Donald Trump has helped end. And I've decided, by the way, as a side note, that FIFA's president Giannini Infantino is my new favorite human.

19:18I sold my car in Carvana last night. Well, that's cool. No, you don't understand. It went perfectly. Real offer, down to the penny. They're picking it up tomorrow. Nothing went wrong. So, what's the problem? That is the problem. Nothing in my life goes to smoothie. I'm waiting for the catch. Maybe there's no catch. That's exactly what a catch would want me to think. Wow, you need to relax. I need to knock on wood. Do we have wood? Is this table wood? I think it's laminate. Okay, yeah, that's good. That's close enough. Car selling without a catch. Sell your car today on... on Carvana. Pick up fees may apply.

19:48The most memorable gifts aren't found, they're made. Zazzle is a custom marketplace where you pick any product, a mug, a card, a tote, a phone case, and make it personal.
