Debunking Ben Meiselas’ MeidasTouch Propaganda Rant
If you want a textbook example of pure propaganda, look no further than Ben Meiselas’ unhinged rant on Substack. It reads less like journalism and more like a delusional cult leader whipping up his followers into a frenzy
Let’s break down the lies, exaggerations, and outright fabrications in this desperate attempt to gaslight the public.
Lie #1: “Trump refused to be on camera yesterday as the markets crashed.”
The Truth:
This is a classic MeidasTouch trick—making up a story to fit their narrative with zero evidence. Trump isn’t required to jump on camera every time something happens in the stock market. But here’s the kicker:
Markets fluctuate all the time, and presidents don’t control them.
There is no evidence that Trump “hid” from cameras.
The idea that Trump “goes into hiding” is laughable—he’s arguably the most publicly visible figure in politics.
This is a cheap attempt to paint Trump as weak while ignoring Biden’s actual disappearances during crises—like when he fled the White House for yet another vacation during global instability.
Lie #2: “Trump runs away from his problems, which are now our problems.”
The Truth:
Trump has faced more political persecution and attacks than any modern U.S. president, yet he never backed down.
He took relentless heat from the media, Deep State, and Democrats for four years, and he still fights back daily.
If anyone is “running away” from problems, it’s Joe Biden, who avoids press conferences, refuses to take hard questions, and is often too confused to form a coherent sentence.
Trump doesn’t “run away”—he charges headfirst into battle, which is exactly why the media and establishment fear him.
Lie #3: “Trump panics and operates erratically from fear and self-loathing.”
The Truth:
This is pure armchair psychology from a partisan activist with zero credibility in evaluating mental states.
If Trump “panicked” and made erratic decisions, why was the economy thriving under him?
Why were foreign adversaries like China, Russia, and Iran afraid to make major moves while he was in office?
Why did America experience record job growth, low unemployment, and rising wages under his leadership?
Biden, on the other hand, panics constantly. Every press event is tightly controlled, and his team has to clean up his disastrous statements because he has no grasp of the issues.
If anyone is erratic and operating from fear, it’s the leftist establishment panicking about Trump’s return in 2024.
Lie #4: “Trump has surely wrecked our government, our economy, and our alliances.”
The Truth:
Under Trump, the economy saw record highs, wage growth, and historic low unemployment.
Inflation was under control—Biden’s policies caused it to skyrocket.
Trump made America energy-independent—Biden reversed that and caused gas prices to soar.
Trump strengthened NATO by forcing European nations to pay their fair share—Biden is the one who has emboldened adversaries like China and Russia.
The actual destruction of our government, economy, and alliances has happened under Biden, and Meiselas is trying to rewrite history.
Lie #5: “Trump has not suppressed his opposition as he and Musk wanted with their ‘shock and awe’ plan.”
The Truth:
This is pure projection. The only side suppressing opposition is the radical left, with:
Big Tech censorship of conservatives
Government collusion with social media companies to ban dissenting voices
Politically motivated lawfare against Trump and his allies
Trump and Musk haven’t suppressed anyone—they are the ones fighting for free speech while MeidasTouch advocates for silencing anyone who disagrees with their agenda.
Lie #6: “The opposition to Trump grows stronger each day as his approval plummets.”
The Truth:
Polling shows Trump leading Biden in key swing states.
Biden’s approval ratings are among the worst in modern history.
Even traditionally Democratic voters are shifting toward Trump due to Biden’s failures.
If the opposition to Trump was growing, why are Democrats resorting to legal warfare and election interference to stop him? They know he’s winning, and they’re desperate to spin the narrative.
Lie #7: “The latest audio podcast download charts have the MeidasTouch Podcast beating Joe Rogan—115 million downloads a month to 63 million downloads for Rogan.”
The Truth:
This claim is so ridiculous, it’s almost funny. MeidasTouch is nowhere near Joe Rogan’s influence or reach.
Spotify and Apple Podcasts rankings tell a different story—Rogan remains a dominant force.
No independent verification supports this 115 million number.
MeidasTouch has been caught inflating their numbers before.
This is nothing more than a desperate, self-congratulatory lie to trick their followers into believing they’re more influential than they actually are.
Lie #8: “Trump has isolated the United States. Other nations have quickly forged new alliances and left the United States out.”
The Truth:
Trump made peace deals in the Middle East (Abraham Accords)—Biden has let conflict explode.
Trump strengthened NATO by making other countries pay up—Biden has weakened it.
Biden’s weakness has emboldened China and Russia, leading to stronger alliances against U.S. interests.
If anyone isolated the U.S., it’s Biden, who has let America become a laughingstock on the world stage.
Lie #9: “Trump can’t control the narrative since independent media is flooding the zone with truth.”
The Truth:
MeidasTouch isn’t “independent media”—it’s a propaganda arm for the Democratic Party.
Their entire existence is based on spreading partisan disinformation.
They have actively called for censorship of conservatives.
They push false stories while ignoring major scandals like Biden family corruption.
The actual independent media exposing government corruption? People like Tucker Carlson, Glenn Greenwald, and independent investigative journalists—not Democratic Party shills like MeidasTouch.
Conclusion: A Desperate, Delusional Propaganda Piece
Ben Meiselas’ rant is not journalism—it’s a cult manifesto, filled with:
Blatant lies
Fear-mongering
Delusional self-promotion
It’s clear that MeidasTouch is panicking because they know Trump is winning. Their influence is dwindling, their narratives are collapsing, and their desperation is showing.
The real takeaway? They are terrified of the truth.
And that’s exactly why we must keep exposing them.
