In short
The episode argues that Donald Trump’s return to Washington after a golf outing was “panic” and that he’s dodging mounting scandals, including demands for Epstein-related files and the reported transfer of Ghislaine Maxwell to Bryan, Texas for home confinement. It claims Trump removed events from his schedule and only planned lunch with J.D. Vance.
Key claims
Trump falsely bragged drug prices fell “14–15 hundred percent,” fired the Bureau of Labor Statistics commissioner for “rigged” job data, and praised conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer. It also alleges Trump cheats at golf (caddies dropping balls; impossible 69 score). Notable examples include Trump’s Sidney Sweeney praise and Russia mocking his war claims.

A panicked and terrified Donald Trump returning to Washington, D.C. after his golf outing this weekend as scandals, controversies, a crashing job market continue to chip away and blow up the most disastrous presidency already in the history of the United States.
1:16Ben Meiselas:Folks, he's removed from his schedule today, all events. All it says he's doing today is having a lunch with J.D. Vance. We'll see what takes place there, but he seems to be cocooning. He seems to be kind of a cornered rat right now as people continue to demand the Epstein files, as it becomes increasingly clear how much Donald Trump is in cahoots with sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell moving her to a minimum security facility in Texas. The Ghislaine Maxwell influencers who we've been reporting on before, they've been on social media abuzz this weekend. Like her name, Jessica Reed Krause, one of the people who held those Epstein binders phase one.
2:04Ben Meiselas:She just posted on social media, mark my words, Ghislaine Maxwell will be coming home soon. She's very close to the White House And she writes, found out she has been moved to Bryan, Texas camp permanently. From there, she will be put on the home confinement plan. And from there, move back to wherever she is going to serve. Her probation will let you know more as we find out still very much a lot going on. Jessica Reed Krauss, very close to Donald Trump, very close to Ghislaine bridging the White House and Ghislaine's relationship. And she says Ghislaine's almost certainly going to be released soon.
2:43Ben Meiselas:So I guess that's what Donald Trump's been spending his weekend doing as well. We'll update you more on that when we know more. We'll see. She's been right so far. I don't know for a fact she's right here, but she's been right on a lot of things so far. So this has been a disastrous return to D.C. from Donald Trump's golf outing. When he landed, he held a mini press conference where he claims that during the midterms, It's going to be great for the Republicans. He says, because we've already cut drug prices by 1200, 1300, 1400, 1500%. He goes, I don't mean 50%. I mean, 1500%. Here, play this clip.
3:25Ben Meiselas:What happens? Mr. President, what advice do you have for Republicans on Capitol Hill heading into, in terms of what do they need to do? What can they do to, you know, Well, one of the things they're going to be talking about pretty soon are the tremendous drop in drug prices. You know, we've cut drug prices by twelve hundred, thirteen hundred, fourteen hundred, fifteen hundred percent. I don't mean 50 percent. I mean fourteen, fifteen hundred percent because we're going favored nations. We want the same price as Europe gets. We want the same price as other country gets. And over the years, 25, 30 years ago, it started where they were charging us much more.
4:03Ben Meiselas:Now, of course, it should be noted that Donald Trump fired precipitously, recklessly, arbitrarily, capriciously, maliciously on Friday, the commissioner at the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Donald Trump claimed that the accurate numbers being reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which is aggregated by dozens and dozens of professionals who hand it over to the commissioner. but it's a large group, about 50, 60 people or so who aggregate all of this data meticulously. Donald Trump said that data was rigged because it showed what we all know is happening. The job market is a crashing, very few jobs being created, signs of recession.
4:49Ben Meiselas:Donald Trump didn't like the numbers the same way he didn't like the outcome of the 2020 election, the same way he didn't like that he didn't win Emmy awards or whatever. So what does he say? It's rigged. It's rigged. It's rigged. It's rigged. So he fired the Bureau of Labor Statistics Commissioner saying those numbers are rigged. But Donald Trump doesn't realize that you can't reduce something 1 ,500%. But I guess he just thinks that his Magamush brain voters are so stupid that they don't know that. Speaking of which, Donald Trump then brags about Sidney Sweeney. This is the big issue that Donald Trump was talking about during his presser.
5:28Ben Meiselas:And And it says it in a very creepy way. It's like, Sidney Sweeney, she likes me. Here, play this clip. President, actress Sidney Sweeney, I could not speak in that she was a registered Republican. Any thoughts on that? That who was? Sidney Sweeney, she's like a very hot actress right now. She's a registered Republican? Yes. Oh, now I love her ad. Is that right? Is Sidney Sweeney? You'd be surprised at how many people are Republicans. That's what I wouldn't have known, but I'm glad you told me that. if Sidney Sweeney is a registered Republican, I think her ad is fantastic. Okay. Thank you very much, everybody.
6:06Ben Meiselas:Very strange stuff right there. Next, Donald Trump is asked about his relationship with Laura Loomer, 9-11 conspiracy theorist, someone who said the most hateful and horrific things. But she's been giving Donald Trump key advice, who to hire at the Defense Department, who to hire at the State Department. So Trump getting rid of highly qualified, smart people, bringing in people like Laura Loomer. Here, Donald Trump praises Laura Loomer and says what a great person she is. Here, play this clip. Mr. President, what is your relationship with Laura Loomer? What kind of influence with Laura Loomer?
6:43What kind of influence does she have in the White House? I think she's very nice. I mean, I know she's known as a radical right, but I think Laura Loomer is a very nice person. I've known her for a long time. And, you know, personally, I think she's a patriot. And she gets excited because of the fact that she's a patriot. And she doesn't like things going on that she thinks are bad for the country. I like her.
7:06Ben Meiselas:As Tom Nichols says, the president of the United States affirming how much he values the advice of a conspiracy theorist with no qualifications in anything. Of course, Laura Loomer, essentially one of the key people running things behind the scenes. You see her right there at the State Department talking about productive day of meetings that she's having there. But Laura Loomer in the past has posted things like this. 9-11 was an inside job. She posted last year, September 8th. If Kamala Harris wins, the White House will smell like curry and the White House speeches will be facilitated via a call center and the American people will only be able to convey their feedback through a customer satisfaction survey at the end of the call that nobody will understand.
7:53Ben Meiselas:Laura Loomer said the following about Kamala Harris also. We need to start talking about Kamala's sexual history and the reason she doesn't have children. I'm willing to bet she's had so many abortions. She's damaged her uterus. A woman who has no biological children of her own should not be allowed to make decisions regarding your children. Laura Loomer also says the following about Kamala Harris. She can't keep her mouth away from married men. She's a homewrecker. She goes on to say, it's called giving head to get ahead. It is very unladylike to give blow jobs, to get jobs. If Kamala wants to be treated like a lady, she should act like one.
8:38Ben Meiselas:My dog's mouth is cleaner after she gets done licking her own asshole than Kamala Harris's mouth is. Kamala Harris is nasty, Trump is right. This is who Donald Trump is praising right there. This is who is a leader in the Trump government or someone who provides a lot of advice to Donald Trump, who he embraces. She also locked herself to the Twitter headquarters several years back with a star of David and compared being banned for Twitter for her horrific statements back then when there was actually some moderation to being in a concentration camp. Also, Russian TV, state regime media in Russia mocking Donald Trump.
9:22Ben Meiselas:I'm not going to play this clip, but it's a clip where Donald Trump says that he has stopped many, many wars and that he stopped at least five wars already. And here's Russia mocking Donald Trump. Trump insists thousands dead in war we stopped. Under 50 die before Thai-Cambodian peace brokered by Malaysia. Care that president loose with facts? So here you have Russia continuing to invade Ukraine. Shahid drones from Iran and ballistic missiles hitting innocent Ukrainians, killing innocent Ukrainians every day. Putin mocking Donald Trump by showing nudes of Melania. Putin announcing, oh, maybe Donald wants to do some cultural work with Russia.
10:08Ben Meiselas:We could do movies together or make songs together and saying things like that. Here's Putin directing Russia to mock Donald Trump. And, you know, because Trump's saying, we did the peace deal between India and Pakistan. India's like, no, you didn't. And Trump's like, I did the deal between Thailand and Cambodia. And it's like, no, you didn't. Malaysia did that. Trump's like, well, I did the deal between Serbia and Kosovo. What are you even talking about? I did the deal in Rwanda and Congo, right? And then Donald Trump earlier in the day attacked Charlemagne the God, the radio host from New York and the hip hop station, and called Charlemagne the God, that's the guy's stage name, a racist, and then said, do you know what I did in Rwanda and Congo?
10:56Ben Meiselas:And then he called Charlemagne the God low IQ because that's how Donald Trump talks about black people. Low IQ calls black people racist and then brings up Rwanda and Congo. That gives you some insight into Donald Trump's vile racist mind. Our editor-in-chief, Ron Filipkowski, writes, the man who just fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics because their numbers supposedly weren't accurate just claimed that he lowered drug prices in America by 1 ,500%. By the way, our research sleuths at the Midas Touch Network uncovered that over the weekend, Donald Trump was cheating yet again. Yes, he cheated last weekend.
11:37Ben Meiselas:He cheated this weekend as well. Now, it should be noted that Donald Trump claimed he won the golf club championship once again, and he claims he got a score of 69 based on Donald Trump's age of 79, getting 69 for 18 holes, averaging less than a score of four per hole would be the greatest score in the history of anybody Donald Trump's age. And it would probably be good enough to win many PGA championships. Saying you scored a 69 on an 18 hole course, that didn't happen. Okay. But that's what Donald Trump claimed. But here we have more video of Trump's caddy dropping balls at Bedminster, renewing the golf cheating allegations.
12:26Ben Meiselas:The footage is from this past Saturday, the same day the White House boasted Trump won his golf championship. I'll just play the B-roll right here so you can see it for yourself. Another caddy caught dropping a golf ball for Trump. You see the B-roll. Rick Riley, who wrote Commander and Cheat about Donald Trump cheating in golf from 2019, writes, so you know it's never legal for your caddy to drop a ball. You can drop one, but never on a green. And since this was a full score event, it's not legal for Trump to drag the ball into the hole. No, never. Our president is an effing golf cheat. And he's a cheat and a fraud in life as well.
13:07Ben Meiselas:I reported this yesterday, but I think it's worth bearing again today. Remember what for months Donald Trump was saying about Doge? He was saying Doge was saving us so much money that we would all get a Doge rebate check. He called it a Doge dividend check, maybe even$5 ,000. I just looked at my emails just from the period of May, and there are close to a dozen emails of Donald Trump saying, Doge dividend check, Should I do a Doge dividend check, right? And I think his supporters, his Magamush brain, Ponzi scheme, they buy into it, whatever. They were like, Doge dividend checks, fantastic. And I'm like, he's not giving you a Doge dividend check.
13:51Ben Meiselas:Federal spending has been higher under Trump than it was under Biden, significantly higher. Doge actually caused the government to spend more. And I haven't even added on the disastrous budget bill, which is going to blow up the deficit. It's going to cause us to incur so much debt. So even without the disastrous budget bill, Doge resulted in more money being spent in the federal government. Even with all of the cuts, depriving countries of foreign aid, all of the horrific things that have been done in the United States name, more money has been spent. But now what they're talking about, tariff rebate checks.
14:34Ben Meiselas:That's their new scam. Tariff rebate checks, right? They claim no tax on social security. That wasn't even a disastrous budget bill. They claim no tax on tips. Well, now people are making half as much money. They weren't declaring their tips anyway, as did, you know, in their taxes to begin with. You have to declare it as a deduction, but you're making less money. And so you're not getting any benefits of no tax on tips. and you're making less money. But now their scam is tariff rebate checks. So in other words, this isn't going to happen because Trump's a liar, but if you view the tariff rebate checks, we're going to tax you, the American people, more via essentially an 18 % national sales tax when you do a blended rate of the marginal tariff rate against the whole world.
15:25Ben Meiselas:It roughly balances out to like 18%. So then what we're going to do is even though you're going to be paying thousands of dollars more in taxes, essentially, because Americans eat the cost of tariffs, then maybe we'll give you back a few hundred bucks and you're going to have a net loss. Trump's not even going to do that, but that's what they're dangling out. Tariff rebate checks. No, Trump is a Ponzi schemer. I keep saying it out loud because his whole life has been bankrupting things, committing fraud, committing sexual abuse. You see him now covering up all of the Epstein stuff. As I've said before, it's like the American people said, release the Epstein files, release the Epstein files.
16:06Ben Meiselas:Trump's like, no. But what if I give Ghislaine Maxwell a pardon? What if I give the sex trafficker an incredible deal? What if we move her to a better prison? Let's move her. And by the way, Trump and Ghislaine go back to the late 80s. They're as thick as thieves. They're close friends. That's what Trump's spending his time and focused on. He's a fraud. He's a sexual abuser. He's covering up his past with Epstein and Ghislaine. As I've said before, a disgusting human being who we need to call out. And we will here on the Midas Touch Network.
