Trump Faces Ultimate Rejection as Republicans Abandon Him

About this episode

MeidasTouch host Ben Meiselas reports on Donald Trump waking up to a brutal rejection as Republicans increasingly distance themselves from him, skip his events, and scramble for excuses to stay away. Meiselas also covers Trump’s other attempts to get people to show up and how his increasingly abhorrent behavior is further damaging his term and driving even more people away.

Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here from Mint Mobile. Now, I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited premium wireless for $15 a month is back.

So I thought it would be fun if we made $15 bills, but it turns out that's very illegal. So there goes my big idea for the commercial. Give it a try at mithmobile.com slash switch. Up from payment of $45 for three months, $90 for six months or $180 for 12 month plan required $15 per month equivalent to taxes and fees extra. Initial plan term only greater than 50 gigabytes. Me slow when network is busy. See terms. Donald Trump is just digging his grave and getting the karma he deserves heading into the midterms. Magger Republican Congress members are terrified to be seen next to him on the stage at that so called midterm convention event that Donald Trump wanted to hold so badly in Dallas. Text September 9th and September 10th. MS now caught up with these Magger Republicans. Like, are you going to show up? Watch what unfold that is there like, nope, I got something got something here. Play this clip. Are you going to get your convention? No, I'm going to be in my district. We're going to win.

Still DVD. We actually are trying to work out our schedule right now. No, no, no, I'm not going to go to the convention. Yeah, thank you. Do you want to go? I want to be in my district. Yeah, so we'll see. Okay. Why would you rather be in your district? Just to talk to you. I always want to be in my district. Yeah, it's very rare that I go outside of my district. Are you planning to go to the midterm convention next week? I'm not. Tell me why. My son's getting married in Greece. Destination wins. I have a good excuse, right? I want to get there, but I've got a few things on my son's playing high school football. I promised I might not miss any of his game. And then even more Magger Republican Congress members who were caught on camera saying they would not be attending these so-called Trump Apollosa Magger Republican midterm convention in Dallas on September 9th and September 10th. This time the CNN cameras caught these Magger Republican Congress members saying let's play this clip. Hey, you can go to the Republican convention next week. I'm planning to be in my district. Are you going to the Republican convention next week? I have to be in the district because I have events. I would love to go. I was thinking about it. I'm going to miss out on something important, but I cannot be into places at the same time.

Then Donald Trump made them show up at the White House last night and he gave one of the most deranged speeches to them as well. He was like, you need to all do. You need to run on just say Donald Trump over and over again because the American people love what I do. Isn't that right here? Play this clip. Because with what we've done in just a short period of time a year and a half, nobody's ever seen it before. There's never been anything like it. And all you have to do is talk about it and you're going to win and you're going to win big. So I want to thank you all. I thank the media for. And then Donald Trump is refusing to spend like any significant amount of money from the MAGA ink pack his political action committee where he raises all of that money from elderly people and MAGA extreme sycophants when he's like, I love you. Do you love me? $1,000 immediately to me. He's like not deploying the money and all the MAGA is like, dude, what the hell? You're not going to spend this money on anything. But he is doing an ad devoted to himself through his pack. Have you seen this? He wants this to air. And it's just like Donald Trump. And he sounds so weak and sickly in this thing.

He's not even doing a significant spend. As I've said, he's going to hoard most of that $450 million. But watch this deranged ad that he just dropped play this clip. He was the toughest most resilient person that I've ever met. And nothing was going to stop him from fighting so hard for the country he loves. When the world needs courage vision and inspiration, it is still turning to America. There is no challenge Americans cannot overcome. No frontier to vest for us to conquer. We will be phosphorus. We will be proud. We will be strong and we will win like never be. And then this is what he says about Ken Paxton, the MAGA Republican Texas AG who's running against James, Taloriko. This is Trump's endorsement of Paxton. I kid you not. He's like Paxton. You might not like the way he dresses or how he looks or how he talks or what he says or anything about him. But he helped me here. Watch what he says here. Play this clip.

And we're going to go to Texas and work for Ken Paxton who's a great guy. I mean, so Ken Paxton, you might not like the way he dresses. And I say this. It's so insulting to him, but I might as well say it. You might not like the way he looks. You might not love his look. You might not love his television interviews. But he was the best attorney general in the country, perhaps he was one of the best in the entire country. And that speaks a lot louder than the suit he's wearing that doesn't look so great or than anything, frankly, he was maybe the best attorney and everybody admits it. He was a great attorney general in Texas. A rigging endorsement there, Donald and then do Donald Trump is he want to know who's a freaking freak. Oh, it's Donald Trump is a deranged, demented lunatic psycho criminal predator freak. Oh, by the way, Donald Trump's like, and James Tallerico, we call him Tally Creepo. Do you know why we call him Tally Creepo?

Because now he says he loves meat. But what he really does is he eats the meat that he vomits it all over himself in the backyard. Do what world are you living in? You sickle. He vomits it on himself in the bag of some Donald Trump saying this man needs to be put in a straight jacket and put a 51 15 voluntary hold on this, he's a great attorney general in Texas. And he's running against Tally Creepo. And this guy was, he has that name for a reason. He's terrible. He's radical left. Now he says he loves meat. You know what he does? He eats meat and he goes outside and he throws up all over the place. And Texas, if you don't eat meat, you're in deep trouble. It's not a good thing not to be able to eat meat. He was wearing a mask six months ago. He had a mask on when somebody's wearing a mask six months ago, you're in deep trouble. Right, Pete? You did a good job last night in Iran, by the way, you're not the hell out of them. Sorry.

And then Donald Trump's like, I don't wear a wig. Okay, here play this clip went up to the speaker and it was blowing so hard, so hard that actually, you know, for years, I had a suffer with people saying, he wears a wig. I don't wear a wig. And then he's like, dumb, you know how to spell it? You put this letter in this letter of people are surprised it as a B. You removed the B. What are you talking about? You're play this clip. If you replace the E, whether you instead of Democrat, you have Democrat and most people don't know that dumb has a B at the end, you know, they think it's DUM. And that's okay. So it's a one letter change. And you go no more E, you just put it D and you got a Democrat. And then Donald Trump's like, but what's important that we all know is our country is respected again. Everybody respects us and Trump's like, Xi Jinping, Xi Jinping, he respects us so much he's going to come and see the golden ballroom soon here play this clip.

Our country is respected again, we're respected like never before. I go to meetings and everyone stands up. They didn't stand up for our last president. They didn't care about him. They didn't care. They left at him. But our country is respected again. And when president Xi comes in two weeks, he respects America now. He didn't respect us. He left out as he thought we were a bunch of fools. So will your help will continue to really he respects us so much. I'll tell you where he is right now Xi Jinping just left the Shanghai cooperation organization median Kierge Stan. And now he's in Egypt with president Al Cisi over there. He just launched military exercises with Egypt in the Middle East over there in Egypt and in the region and flew over Middle East nations. And then one of the things that he did yesterday is China blocked the resolution at the G20 summit talking about how the straight of Hormuz should be open for trade and commerce.

And so your buddy Xi Jinping was one of the people who voted against the US proposal on the straight of Hormuz. But I guess that's your bud Donald. And then who else is your bud Russia Russia is your bud because the Russian finance minister was in Asheville North Carolina the same summit where China voted against Trump straight of Hormuz resolution. And none of the European countries would hang out with the Russian finance minister. But Treasury Secretary Besent was and he's like, fuck up my buddy that you're the Russian finance minister. And meanwhile all of the reporting is like Russia is helping Iran with all of their new weapons. And by the way, Russia isn't hiding it Putin said yesterday or two days ago at the Shanghai cooperation organization median Kierge Stan our economic cooperation will be robust and strong. And Marco we're going to invest in your nuclear capabilities Iran. That's what Putin said yesterday said we're going to they're doing nuclear facilities together. Here's what Marco Rubio said though about Russia helping Iran and just look at the language like Rubio so willing to attack Canada and NATO and American allies with such direct and blunt hateful language.

But when it comes to Russia Rubio's like well in this case unfortunately on the issue of Iran we're not fully aligned with Russia. What do you mean we're not fully aligned? You mean Russia is giving weapons to kill our service members? Is that what you mean not fully aligned? Man these Trump regime people are just so utterly pathetic here play this clip of Rubio saying that correctly we're helping you out. Yeah well in the case unfortunately of Iran we're not aligned with the Russians and the Russian system in terms of their view of the situation. Obviously Russia has their own hands full with Ukraine. Meanwhile Iran just mock Donald Trump all day they put up those billboards of Donald Trump of the catering container with Natalie hiding from Iran at the NATO summit. Trump's scarfing down a burger and a coke looking so utterly pathetic right there. So what else do we got Donald Trump whining and we're in September 2026 and Trump's like we inherited the worst economy since the Great Depression.

It would have been 1929 if it wasn't for me it would have been the Great Depression Donald you have crashed our economy right now right now. But for the fact that the wealthiest Americans have gotten even wealthier most Americans feel like they're living through a Great Depression and you want to pound them down even more and heard a more by putting data centers in their backyard your play this clip. The economy what they did to our economy was so bad we inherited the worst economy one of them in history outside of 1929 which was seriously bad. We would have ended up in 1929 we would have been instead of having the hottest country anywhere in the world we would have been in 1929 economy we would have been we would have been in a depression instead of having $20 trillion invested in our country. We would have had $10 trillion being taken out and our welfare would have doubled and tripled and you would have had a bankrupt country now it's going to happen a hundred percent. Donald Trump then continues to brag like a little loser about Xi Jinping visiting us Xi Jinping is going to love Donald Trump just loves talking about how he bows down to Xi Jinping here playing this clip.

The President has wanted it for a long time as an example on September 24th we have President Xi coming of China and he'll come in and we have a grand total of about 98 seats in the White House. We have about 2,000 people we had that ballroom open we could have we could handle it but so it's going to be very tough it's going to be very very tough to handle that one but we'll work it out but we only have we have less than a hundred seats. And he's very he's an outstanding guy and a lot of people would like to be there I'd like to have him so we'll see how that all works out everybody's fighting for tickets and then they called from China that they'd like about 60 for their people is it that's a lot that's it we're arguing overseas but we won't have that in a year from now we won't have that problem anymore. And then even on state regime media which calls itself Fox news they had Lara Trump Donald Trump's daughter-in-law because nothing says Bizarro banana Republic developing nation like having your daughter-in-law be a fox host and guest as one of your prop again this but state regime media was asking her hey Lara what's he going to do with his might well you raised all this money for people are you going to deploy it for Republicans it's already September meaning most of the ad spots are already.

So can't even really deploy your money is he really going to hoard all that money watch what Lara Trump has to say play this clip. Lara what is your take on this Texas race one of the complaints has been that the Trump pack you know is flush with cash four hundred million dollars and hasn't committed it to this race for the candidate that the president says he supports right there. Well I think you'll certainly see a lot of that money spend and there's no doubt this president will be out campaigning in Texas all over the country Martha I mean we know that Donald Trump is the king of campaigning right he loves a good rally and we will definitely see him out there but the Texas race is interesting you know this is an important race not just for the Senate seat but for what else happens in Texas and the down ballot races as well obviously Texas has solidly been read for a long time they have not elected a Democrat to a Senate seat there since 90% of the time. So the state is not just a Senate seat it's obviously about House races then the state legislature and so you have a state like Texas that has again been a very Republican state for a long time that if we're not able to turn people out in that state it could look very different it couldn't it might not just impact the Senate and the balance of power in Congress but the state as a whole and so look the president is going to be all in the state.

So if you're not going to see the president on this he will definitely be out campaigning and you will for sure see that money spend I think they just want it to go to its highest and best use and and use it at the appropriate time so do you think. And folks you just see in significant ways just these developments of the world losing confidence in the United States obviously it's reflected in the bond sell off one of the reasons the treasury yields are so high I mean the 30 year 5.3% what is it the 20 year the 10 year the 2 year you know treasury secretary best and just like you were a loser when you were on your own with your own private fund you don't know what you're doing here now with the American economy your bond buyback scheme failed Japanese yen scheme failed all of your schemes are failing one after another so the but but so we see the bond sell off our company selling our bonds but then we just see stories like this every day as well. Netherlands moving billions in gold to London in crisis preparedness mode the Netherlands has moved 86 tons of its gold stock worth 12 billion dollars out of the U.S. citing Trump's unpredictability over the Iran war increasing geopolitical unrest as Donald Trump is attacking Canada also had some reserves in Canada as well.

This move follows senior officials from the Netherlands warning that gold is no longer safe in Donald Trump's hands which prompted the Netherlands to immediately begin removing its gold from the U.S. because Trump is a freaking deranged gold hoarder that countries that were once allied with us are afraid he's going to steal their gold that's what the United States has become right now as Donald Trump demanded that Apple give him gold box give me gold bars I want more gold bars Apple you change your map Apple to Lake America not Lake Ontario or else. I will destroy your company I mean this guy is a communist authoritarian loser creepo predator I can go on and on but you but you get the point I'm going to do a video this this morning as well on the top military leaders warning that Higgs it has destroyed the military Higgs it has also deleted a private classified database where the secretary order book is not going to be a threat to the country.

He is housed in this private online database with classified access he deleted it because there was a leak that the order book showed that our top generals and admirals do not concur with his war plan in 2027 which has destroyed the United States military in 2025 2026 and 2027. So now they're just delete they're deleting the databases he's turned the Pentagon press room into a skiff a sensitive compartmented information facility so he can hide from the press and say his aura is classified no your aura is loser and war criminal. And now he's deleting databases I mean he's just so pathetic I'm going to do a whole video on that I'll talk about how Republican senator Tom tell us and others said the guys the most to come up in a leader even though tell us was the one who voted to confirm him we got a busy morning keep checking back every 90 minutes here on the mic just touch network thanks for watching everybody.
