In today’s episode, we break down a humiliating scene on the world stage as Donald Trump disgraced the United States at Pope Francis’ funeral — showing up in a blue suit, falling asleep, and making an international mockery of himself. But that's just the start. Trump is still inventing fake conversations with China's Xi Jinping, trying to spin a fantasy world as real economic warning signs flash: freight and trucking volumes are collapsing, and experts warn we could start seeing empty shelves soon. Meanwhile, Trump launched a bizarre attack on Canada, hinting at a takeover and pushing his “51st state” delusions. And the chaos within Trump’s DOJ is reaching terrifying new levels, with armed arrests of state court judges happening inside their own courtrooms. We cover all this — and more — as the Trump regime's lawlessness and instability grow even more dangerous. Tune in and stay informed. Democracy depends on it. Ben and Brett break it all down.

Chapter 1: What is Donald Trump's current approval rating and public perception?
Poll after poll after poll, Donald Trump's approval is plummeting. The worst ever, the worst ever among independents, the worst ever in modern polling in presidential history across all polls, whether you're talking about a Fox poll, a CNN poll, an ABC Washington Post Ipso poll, a Pew Research poll, they all tell the same story. The American people hate
Chapter 2: How did Donald Trump embarrass the US at Pope Francis's funeral?
Donald Trump, and it's the worst 100 days ever. Let's just talk about what just happened. What in the past 24 to 48 hours, Donald Trump humiliated the United States at Pope Francis's funeral. He violated the dress code, the only person there wearing a blue suit, and he seemed to continuously fall asleep during the solemn proceedings.
Chapter 3: Is Donald Trump telling the truth about his trade deals with China and other countries?
Donald Trump continues to lie about having fake conversations with China and Chinese President Xi Jinping. Donald Trump claims that he's already done 200 deals already. He just doesn't want to announce it. He wants to build up the drama. Folks, there's 193 countries and now Donald Trump's Treasury Secretary is saying, oh, Donald Trump meant 200 sub deals
Chapter 4: What are the economic warning signs affecting the US such as freight and trucking volumes?
heck they subbed you that's what they're trying to say now all of this was taking place while freight volumes and trucking volumes here in the united states are absolutely collapsing for those who are watching on screen right now you can literally see all of the ships that are at like the ports in china like the port in shanghai and you can see that there are almost no ships now coming into port in the west coast of the united states this spells big trouble
Chapter 5: Why is Donald Trump attacking Canada and what are his '51st state' delusions?
uh for uh americans who are gonna start to see that products are missing on the shelves we've been talking about this for about three weeks on the midas touch network now and it seems that corporate news is now starting to raise the three alarm fire right now as well um donald trump today also attacked Canada on its election day, a big day in Canada.
Donald Trump wanted to make it about himself and interfere with the election in Canada. Donald Trump continued to talk about how he wants to annex Canada, how he wants to conquer Canada, how he wants to be the leader of Canada. And he was basically insinuating that Canada should make him their dictator. Again, it's just so utterly despicable for a United States president to be behind
Chapter 6: What is happening within Trump's Department of Justice involving state court judges?
behaving that way. It's also just utterly humiliating to see a leader of the United States behave that way as well. Also, the Trump regime's DOJ is now arresting state court judges in their own judicial chambers, in their own courtrooms, because the DOJ wants to run
sting operations in state courtrooms when they can just do them if they want to, like outside the courtroom or wait until the person just leaves the courtroom. We'll break down the latest authoritarian machination of the Trump regime and more here on the Midas Touch podcast. I've been my cell is joined by Brett Jordy. One more day of father duty for Jordy. But Brett, how are you doing?
I'm doing well. Ben, it sounds like we don't have that much to talk about today, right? It seems pretty, pretty light day of news. Every day, just an absolute whirlwind. And we've been discussing now for a while that Donald Trump's presidency would soon collapse. I think we are in the collapse phase now. I think we are seeing it play out before our eyes.
The numbers are just horrific for Donald Trump right now and getting worse so much so that at this point, he is now threatening to launch investigations against the pollsters because he doesn't like the polls. He's back to his typical whiny ways.
He is now being seen by everybody as the paper tiger he is, as the emperor with no clothes, with all of his empty promises, his constant, oh, we're going to do that in two weeks. We're going to do this in two weeks. The scam is being exposed. Donald Trump is looking weaker than ever. And I also would be remiss if I did not shout out
all of our Canadian viewers and listeners at the top of the show who have voted, who are voting by the time the podcast audio listeners are listening to this. You probably know the results by now, but shout out elbows up to all the Maple Midas out there.
And thank you for doing your civic duty and for allowing us here at the Midas Touch Network to speak about Canada and expand our coverage into Canada. It's been exciting. Oh, and by the way, remember to add the Midas Touch Podcast on Apple Podcasts and Spotify to get all these news updates all day in your favorite podcast apps. Then what's new.
You know, then soon after Canada, within the next week, we have the elections in Australia there, where again, Trumpism, the kind of MAGA atrocities that we're seeing inflicted here in the United States are having a major impact on the Australian elections, right? They had a MAGA candidate who was the leader of their Liberal Party, Peter Dutton.
Their Liberal Party is actually the Conservative Party in Australia. They just call it the Liberal Party. The Labor Party in Australia is like the Liberal Party. And this guy, Peter Dutton, is like a MAGA, is like a mini MAGA version of Trump in Australia. He was leading in the polls there. And now the current prime minister who leads the Labor Party

Chapter 7: How does Trump's history of fraud and scams reflect on his presidency?
So as I've said before, it's like they get to do the redo election that I'm sure lots of Americans want to have right now. Just think about it like this, Brett. What have we been calling this Trump regime presidency so far? We've been calling it the Ponzi scheme presidency, the rug pull presidency, because like a Ponzi scheme, They build fraud on top of fraud on top of fraud.
And eventually they get caught at the end. And like Ponzi schemers and scammers and frauds, eventually the scam runs out. And by the way, Trump in his past life and currently he's acting consistent with that low character. Trump is a fraud. I mean, he is a criminal. He's actually a criminal. I'm not using hyperbole. He's a felon.
He was found by a jury in New York to be a felon and to have done fraudulent business records. Donald Trump was also found liable of fraud in a separate civil case. Donald Trump is a sexual abuser. Donald Trump is someone who's bankrupted a lot of companies he's been involved with in the past. Donald Trump destroyed Atlantic City.
So is it a shocker that the guy who destroys Atlantic City comes back and, let's say, does it again to the country, does it to Vegas? This is who he is. He's a lifelong loser and a lifelong destroyer. And he uses the same fraud tactics that he does in his business here in the United States. I mean, he was asked this question in a Time magazine interview, Brett.
He was asked, you said you would end the war in Ukraine on day one. Trump's response. Well, I said that figuratively and I said that as an exaggeration because to make a point. And, you know, it gets, of course, by the fake news, unintelligible. We don't know what he's saying there. Obviously, people know that when I said that, I said it was said in jest.
But it was also said that it will be ended. So now Donald Trump goes that he's exposed that he hasn't made peace in Ukraine in 24 hours and he's actually made things worse. It was all a big joke. It was all one big joke. Well, let's just take a look at the tape of what Donald Trump was saying during the campaign and think, do you think this was one big joke right here? Here, play this clip.
And the war in Ukraine in 24 hours. Yes. How would you do that?
I know Zelensky very well. I'll end that war between those two countries in 24 hours. It won't even take that long. I will get the war ended. I'll stop all of those lives from being wasted and lost.
there'll be no more bombing of ukraine there'll be no more bombing of russia and everybody will be happy not exactly something to joke about in general hilarious hilarious so then he lands back in the united states after humiliating the united states at pope francis's funeral more on the funeral uh in a little bit

Chapter 8: What is the significance of Scott Bessant's 'bespoke deals' and the 200 trade deals claim?
I don't know, but I'm the first buyer. It'll be out in about less than two weeks probably. Pretty exciting, right? You ready for some questions? Anybody want to buy one?
He's lying there and saying, first off, that he's the first buyer. Why would you buy the gold card? It makes no sense. You're an American citizen. Is he saying that he's not actually an American citizen? Is he a Russian oligarch who needs to buy the gold card? And by the way, I'm not exaggerating.
He did say about two weeks before that that these were going to go to sale to Russian oligarchs and Chinese oligarchs. and people who wanted to buy citizenship into the United States. And then he said that was April 3rd, that it would be less than two weeks. And of course that hasn't been released, but it's always these scams, right? The Doge scam, the Doge rebate check.
Americans are going to get $5,000 from the government. Just you wait, you're going to get your, we know that we're destroying the economy and you may be losing your job, but $5,000 in the Doge rebates going, don't worry, there's gonna be no tax on tips, no tax on social security, no tax on overtime. They haven't done any of that. We're gonna go into, where is it? Fort Knox and find the gold.
We're gonna find all of the gold out.
I nearly forgot about that one. You're right. It's like a Russian nesting doll of scams from Donald Trump. And he does one, then he says another, then he says another, and then he keeps dangling the various scams in front of his supporters. The supporters are the ones that are really ultimately getting scammed at the end of the day.
You know, we have people on the team, and Ben's one of them right here, who get Donald Trump's emails that he sends out to everybody on a daily basis. Donald Trump perpetuates these scams via his email. I wonder, and Ben, I'm sure you would have some insight into this, if in a society where laws mattered...
if this would constitute some sort of wire fraud at any sort of point, because Donald Trump is constantly dangling these scams in front of people to get them to donate to his committees to then try to use in these congressional elections and whatnot. For example, he'll do an email. Do you want to see a Doge $5,000 check? Well, donate here and you'll see what happens. Do you want to win this?
Do you want the gold card? Do you want the whatever? He's constantly dangling these scams in front of his people like the crook that he is. Every single day his supporters are getting blasted with these messages. And then he's bringing this into our government where he is trying to just out scam himself in order to hide the last scam.
