Hi Meidas Mighty. I’ll keep this short.
This week, I chose violence, and I made a post on X (formerly Twitter) that I knew would trigger MAGA on their home turf.
I told a simple truth… and they lost their damn minds!
Here’s what I did. You’re going to love this.
I took a screenshot of Trump’s social media post where he slapped the American flag over a map of the USA and Canada and wrote, “Oh Canada,” pushing his ridiculous claim that he wants to annex Canada and make it the 51st state. Idiocracy at its finest (or lowest).
I can’t believe we live in a timeline where I have to describe this.
Anyway, I posted the Trump screenshot, and in ALL CAPS (because we know that’s how MAGA prefers to communicate), I wrote:
WAKE UP! ALL OF THIS IS TO DISTRACT YOU! PRICES ARE NOT GETTING LOWER. HOUSING IS NOT BEING SOLVED. THERE IS NO UKRAINE PEACE DEAL. HE IS A WEAPON OF MASS DISTRACTION. DO NOT FALL FOR IT AGAIN!!
Here’s the post, which has been viewed over 1.2 million times in 48 hours (mostly by my target audience: MAGA).
The post received over 5.9k comments, and let me tell you, MAGA was big mad.
Most of the responses hurled the “F” word at me (how original). Others tried to defend Trump by saying, “He’s not President yet, so he can’t fix those things.”
Oh, really MAGA?
The last time I checked, Trump and his MAGA cult promised that the moment he was elected, the oceans would part, and all the world’s problems would magically vanish. Isn’t that what they said?
Didn’t Trump promise to bring peace to Ukraine by now?
While corporate media ignores Trump’s broken promises, the MeidasTouch Network will aggressively call him out every single day.
Why wait?
I listened to Trump’s campaign speeches where he took credit for President Biden’s accomplishments while avoiding responsibility for anything else.
Higher mortgage rates? Instability in the bond and stock markets? Rising prices? These are the results of companies pricing in Trump’s tariffs and disastrous economic policies.
Why should I hold back from speaking the truth?
Sorry, not sorry.
I’m not giving Trump a pass, and this network won’t either.
Our coverage will relentlessly call out Trump’s lies and distractions. I don’t care if I get 5,000 hate messages (spared you from seeing them here) or even death threats.
Trump and MAGA are scared.
They’re scared of you, the Meidas Mighty, and the network you’ve built.
They think they can intimidate us, but they’ve underestimated the power of the Meidas Mighty.
We are the #1 most-watched YouTube channel in America.
They may have billions of dollars from their corporate backers, but we’re a people-powered network, and they can’t stop us.
Oh, and I can’t wait for the confirmation hearings next week. The opposition research our team dug up is chef’s kiss. It’s going to be glorious.
We are laser-focused on Trump’s broken promises and reminding the world that he’s a Weapon of Mass Distraction (WMD).
Thanks to this community, we finally control the narrative.
In the words of “Captain Phillips,” the Meidas Mighty are the captains now.
Let’s go!
Let’s stay investor-free and oligarch-free! Our stakeholders are the Meidas Mighty. That’s it. No billionaires here—just We the People.
Some good news: we hit our paid subscriber goal again yesterday!
That’s three days in a row. Can we make it four?
Let’s be audacious. Let’s see if we can hit 100 new paid subscribers to this Substack today.
If you’re not a paid subscriber yet, now’s your chance.
If you can, please subscribe now and let’s keep growing, brick by brick, and making history together.
Thank you, Meidas Mighty. And I hope you enjoyed my post, MAGA.
Speaking the truth directly to them is a terrific strategy. Catches them off guard. It's what they need.
It’s not just a distraction. It’s him priming his base to normalize the idea that the US and Russia have a right to just take anything they want.
