Summary

In this episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast, Ben, Brett, and Jordy break down a whirlwind of escalating crises as Donald Trump’s war against the American people intensifies, chaos erupts on the streets, and his poll numbers continue to plunge. We cover European nations deploying troops to Greenland to deter a potential U.S. invasion, Venezuela’s brutal crackdowns under Delcy Rodríguez, and Trump’s sudden abandonment of protesters standing up to the Iranian regime. We also expose the bizarre and unhinged — from our discovery of a Trump furry-themed party at Mar-a-Lago to Trump’s allies scrambling to deflect from the Epstein scandal by deflecting with attacks on Bill Clinton. Plus, we unpack the humiliating moment Venezuelan opposition figure María Corina Machado presents her Nobel Peace Prize to Trump, and much more from a rapidly destabilizing world under the Trump regime.
