Trump Attacks Meidas at His Sentencing…RENT FREE
Written by Ben Meiselas
I’ll keep this short.
Donald Trump’s criminal sentencing just wrapped in New York for the 34 felony counts he was convicted of.
The judge officially pronounced Trump a felon, stating that due to Trump’s soon-to-be position, the only sentence available was an “unconditional discharge.” This means no prison time or other conditions. The sentence is simple: Trump now wears the scarlet letter “F” for felon as the jury verdict becomes a final judgment.
For those who watch our podcast or Legal AF, we’ve prepared you for many weeks that this would be the outcome.
However, what we weren’t prepared for was Trump speaking during his sentencing and attacking a MeidasTouch Network (MTN) host.
Trump appeared virtually from Florida and spoke on his own behalf at the sentencing, following remarks by his lawyer, Todd Blanche.
Trump declared he was “treated very, very unfairly” and claimed, “I am totally innocent. I did nothing wrong.”
But then, he pivoted to attack MeidasTouch host Michael Cohen.
Trump claimed that Michael Cohen essentially tricked the jury into convicting him by pretending to be “George Washington.”
Folks, I’m serious. That was not a joke.
Trump’s direct quote:
“He was allowed to talk as though he’s George Washington, but he’s not George Washington,” referencing MeidasTouch host Michael Cohen.
For those who haven’t been keeping up with the court filings in this case, Trump had previously devoted multiple pages and several footnotes to attacking MeidasTouch shows and podcasts, claiming that we prejudiced the jury and that his conviction was somehow our fault.
All of those arguments were rejected by the judge.
And now, Trump has been sentenced.
So, there you have it.
Donald Trump has officially been sentenced and spent his sentencing, as well as the motions leading up to it, attacking MeidasTouch and our hosts.
Even the United States Supreme Court didn’t let Trump escape today’s sentencing. In a 5-4 decision, they rejected Trump’s emergency efforts to stop the proceedings.
Yes, the MeidasTouch Network is living rent-free in Trump’s head.
But more importantly, we have built the media network he truly fears the most—a truly independent media network with no oligarchs, no billionaires, and no investors.
Trump can huff and puff, but he won’t intimidate us at the MeidasTouch Network or the Meidas Mighty.

Sentencing is over. Trump is officially a felon.
You know you’re doing something right if he attacks you directly! Thank you for the work you are doing; it is very much appreciated and needed right now. :)
Awesome!! Trump is officially a convicted felon. It should have been a SCOTUS unanimous ruling. The four Trump loving Justices are all in for this criminal!
