On this episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast, Trump’s cognitive issues were on full display this weekend, from his bizarre Super Bowl antics to yet another alarming interview. Trump left in the middle of the halftime show, seemingly rattled by Kendrick Lamar’s criticism, while his pick, the Kansas City Chiefs, were losing badly. Meanwhile, a new golden-hoofed goat idol, wrapped in $100 bills featuring Trump’s face, has mysteriously appeared at Mar-a-Lago—because, of course, it has. In other news, Trump made it clear he doesn’t see JD Vance as his successor, instead looking to Elon Musk to "do whatever" with the government. Trump is also imposing massive tariffs on aluminum and steel, a move that will drive up prices and alienate our allies. And while he continues to defy court orders, judges are striking back.

Chapter 1: What bizarre actions did Trump take during the Super Bowl weekend?
The train wreck of the Trump presidency continues to trample over the United States of America. We saw Trump's cognitive issues on full display where he tried to outshine the Super Bowl. He tried to make it all about himself, but he couldn't even last at the Super Bowl through halftime. He had to leave and then resign.
excused himself pretty quickly he said it's a bigger and more important thing that he wanted to announce than the super bowl and then proceeded to talk about renaming the gulf of mexico to the gulf of america again he goes this should be declared the gulf of america day not even the
And by the way, MAGA was utterly triggered by the halftime performance, which featured Kendrick Lamar and Samuel L. Jackson as Uncle Sam. Meanwhile, Donald Trump gave a disastrous interview over in Mar-a-Lago with Brett Baer, where again, he talked about conquering Gaza and conquering Canada, conquering all of these countries. It was just a complete and utter mess.
And also now at Mar-a-Lago, they have displayed a golden hoofed goat idol wrapped with fake $100 bills that feature Donald Trump's face on it. And instead of saying, in God we trust, the fake dollar bills say, in Trump we trust. Nothing says fighting for the working class people like golden hoofed goat idols with your name, image, and likeness on fake $100 bills wrapped around it.
Apparently, Donald Trump has now made good on the other threats that he made during the super bowl to bring attention to himself where kind of once again out of nowhere he announced a new series of tariffs on essentially every country everywhere on steel and aluminum with no exemptions to take place effective immediately so he has now imposed these 25 tariffs
According to the White House, no one really knows what he's doing or when he's doing them, but that is going to cause major damage to our alliances abroad, and we should expect massive retaliation from our allies now, whether it's Canada or Mexico, Europe,
australia which got exemptions during the first trump administration this will cause major rifts there our enemies like russia are just laughing the whole way one of the things that donald trump said during his interview with brett bear is that he does not want jd vance as his successor great work jd vance you played yourself
Donald Trump amended his federal lawsuit against CBS, which was originally for $10 billion, saying that he didn't like how 60 Minutes displayed the interview with Vice President Trump. Kamala Harris during the campaign of 2024. Now Donald Trump says that he's been injured to the tune of $20 billion.
And he's added MAGA Republican Congress member Ronnie Jackson as a co-plaintiff in this case, because Ronnie Jackson says that he was a consumer. who was injured under consumer protection laws. This as Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans gut the Consumer Protection Financial Bureau. So make that make sense, folks.

Chapter 2: What is the significance of the golden goat idol at Mar-a-Lago?
Oh, the Palestinians, they're not going to be allowed back, but we're going to get some really good people in there and then they could find other countries to live in. Just think about the depravity right now of that. And that's just our foreign policy. We haven't even gotten into Donald Trump completely gutting all of our government and using Elon Musk. We'll get there soon.
But that's just one aspect. But you see just a systematic – or a systemic destruction of everything the United States stands for in such a short period of time. And we have to take Trump seriously when he says all these things. I know sometimes people want to say, oh, he's not serious about Canada. He's not serious about Gaza. I'm telling you, he is.
And you know how you know he is because all the other countries that have to deal with this stuff are taking him seriously and they are preparing for the worst case scenario, which speaks so badly about the United States and where we are at.
Exactly, Brett. He's serious enough about Canada to bring it up during the Super Bowl interview with Bret Baier when he said, yeah, no, I want Canada to be the 51st. Absolutely. I want to go back to that Bret Baier interview where we started with J.D. Vance not being his successor. Trump saying, no, I don't view him as my successor.
I mean, in what world are we living in that that's actually a step up from what he said about his previous vice president, who he wanted to have murdered, if we all remember. So I can't believe JD actually that that's a bonus for JV that he doesn't want him to be the successor. But in all seriousness, what we're looking at here is it's what dictators do, right?
Trump is laying in the groundwork to install who Don Junior or Eric install his kids next, right? Keep the lineage going. That's what Trump wants. He just envisions America being run by Trumps for the next 100 plus years. It's absolutely insane to continue to play out. And now moving on to his Gaza comments, he wants to treat Gaza like a real estate deal.
Well, we all know his track records with the real estate deals, and they're not too great. So it's an interesting turn of phrase that he used there. And then lastly, tariffs. When the reporter's asking him, is aluminum going to be included with that? Doesn't it just sound like he's shooting from the hips? He's like, oh yeah, aluminum too, and 25%.
It just feels like he's coming up with these ridiculous things on the spot. And I know they're ridiculous, and I say they're ridiculous, but they have real world consequences as we continue to see play out.
Yeah, he says it, and then his team tries to figure out, okay, well, what do you want us to do? And then no one has the spine to actually stand up to him anymore and say no. So then they figure out a way to do it, and now he's imposed tariffs on the world, I guess. And while he does that, let me just explain to you what's happening in Canada right now.

Chapter 3: How are Trump's new tariffs affecting international relations?
I think I got another profession on my hands.
If this doesn't work out, you know, I am Marley huge, huge, huge fans of those guys to check them out. They're all, they're all great.
I mean, that is kind of your profession, but yeah, that's what you do. And come on. Okay.
Anyway, so I think I can do commercials though, like on TV, you know,
Yeah.
It helps that they're all really good products and services and that Jordy vets them and that they're amazing. So check them out. All the links in the descriptions of these videos and audio podcasts.
One of the things that Donald Trump announced earlier today is that if all hostages in Gaza are not released by 12 p.m. on Saturday, the ceasefire should be canceled and then, quote, let all hell break loose.
let all hell break loose and break the ceasefire you know normally it's pretty difficult thing to broker a ceasefire and these issues tend to be pretty delicate and scripted but it isn't it just obvious as we go through all of these data points that he's just craving international conflict and wars after isolating America from our allies.
I'm just, in Trump's mind, I guess he thinks it's gonna be what? America and Benjamin Netanyahu versus everybody else in the world? Is that his kind of world perspective? What's his alliance? Who are the allies? Because it's not the European Union who are arming themselves against America, right? It's not Canada. He just tariffed Australia. So we don't really have any allies.

Chapter 4: Why is Trump distancing himself from J.D. Vance?
What are these people, many of them young staffers without government experience, doing with my private information? I mean, as we know that they've accessed private information about, for example, those who have received disaster relief and the DHS system. What can you tell us about that data, what they're doing with it, what they're accessing?
Yeah, well, first of all, they're not interested in anybody's particular private data because within these systems, they are payment systems of where money was going out and they're gaining visibility and access to that. I will tell you that I believe, strongly believe, that the request that they had, they were not receiving positive viewpoints on. People did not want to comply.
So when they chose not to comply, they brought their own people in who broke into, so to speak, these databases and provided the information we needed. And the government people, computer programmers, were shocked that it could happen.
They broke into the databases? This is what they're saying. They broke into the databases. And again, if this is what we want, right? We live in a democracy. If this is what we want, if the American people want to
torture people internationally and defund USAID, right, if that's what they want to do, or defund the NIH, defund critical medical research that helps stop cancers and pandemics and that leads to innovation. If America wants to shut down the CDC or the Department of Labor or
get rid of the CIA, or if America wants to get rid of the Department of Education, like if these are things, there's a process for it, right? The process for it is Congress and the Senate
they pass laws congress we have two chambers we have the house and the senate they've got to pass it they then have to reconcile their bill and then it gets voted on and then it gets signed into law by the president that's that's the process that exists in a democracy
That's why I say America doesn't have a democracy anymore because the process apparently is Donald Trump has Elon Musk go into various agencies with this thing called Doge, whatever the hell it is, and they just do things. They shut down USAID. They shut down the Department of Education or they shut down the Department of Labor and they gut these agencies and then they go online and they –
It's worse than McCarthyism. I don't even know what you get, Elonism or whatever you want to say it is. And they kind of slander people and they put it out there and they move on to the next one and they dismantle everything. And if this is what the American people want, then the Republicans control the House, the Senate and the presidency.
