What are the major failings of Donald Trump's first 100 days in office?

Ben Meiselas 0:00
Let's talk about some letters F. Donald Trump gets an F for the first 100 days. F on the economy. F on foreign affairs. F on national security. F on basic professionalism and confidence. F on everything. We'll talk about that. Let's talk about some C's today, like cognitive decline. C for cognitive decline. It's on full display today. with Donald Trump. It's accelerating. Corporate news doesn't want to talk about it. We'll talk about it here on the Midas Touch Network. Another C, Donald Trump's cabinet disaster. Have you seen this cabinet meeting? It was Kim Jong-un meets the worst season of The Apprentice. That was too bad. It could never even be released. Let's talk about the collaborators. The collaborators like state regime media Fox and this new group,

that the Trump regime is cultivating. They call them the new media and they have a whole room from them in the White House. It looks like a bad SNL skit. We'll talk about that. We'll talk about another. See the courts, what's going on there standing up against Donald Trump. A federal judge in the Southern District of Texas ruled that Donald Trump's invocation of the Alien Enemies Act is unlawful. And I think we got to talk about change. C for change. What are Democrats doing to bring about change and fighting back? We hosted on the Midas Touch Network a town hall with four governors. It was an incredible event that we held earlier this week. Many of you attended. We'll show some clips of that and more. And Brett and Jordi, welcome to the Midas Touch Podcast.
Ben Meiselas 1:46
There's another C I should talk about as well, which is central planning. As you look at what the Trump regime is doing, it looks like Soviet-style central planning with the exemptions where oligarchs show up, try to pass loyalty and purity tests to the party to get their exemptions while we, the people, suffer. It's just odd. You have the U.S. behaving like the USSR or how China used to behave, and now you have China behaving the way the USA behaves. used to behave. And then you have Howard Lutnick and all of Donald Trump's advisors saying, we want to bring the low paying manufacturing jobs back to the US. And China's like, why would you want to do that? We're trying to get your economy and bring your jobs to China.

Brett 2:37
What's up, Ben? What's up, Jordy? What's up, Midas, Mighty, everybody watching and listening. Oh my gosh, it's been an absolutely bizarre week to say the least, another week of chaos. And we're in a place right now where just the objective data is so horrific by every single metric. Ben, you already did the letters. I'm not gonna go through the letters again. But on all the letters that Ben mentioned, everything is so horrific that they just need to start. They just lie. They just lie about everything. They didn't start lying. They've been lying about everything, but they just literally make up things. The economy is terrible. They say it's great. Prices are up. They say prices are down. The sky is blue. They say the sky is green.
Brett 3:12
It's just lie after lie after lie, and they get more and more ridiculous. And right now, Ben, you're right. When I watch these press briefings, And especially like this new media briefing that they have where they bring in these MAGA propagandists into the Oval Office, these really just odd, weird people to speak and just spread the White House propaganda. It is one of the cringiest things that I have ever seen. and part of it's like a little kind of funny to watch you're like this is so just weird and odd but then you're like oh no this is like the president of the united states though so like it may it would be funny if this was an snl sketch but this is real life and this is just north korea this is russia And it is actually horrifying to watch.
Brett 3:53
