Trump's latest meltdown hits new authoritarian lows—and the week is just getting started. On this episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast, we break down the madness: Trump’s so-called “economic plan” includes rationing dolls for little girls, jacking up prices, and telling working families to “shut up.” He floated imaginary trade deals, demanded tariffs on Hollywood movies, posted a bizarre AI image of himself as the Pope, and called for reopening Alcatraz. Oh, and he partied with the Proud Boys at Mar-a-Lago, questioned if he has to uphold the Constitution, and proposed gutting 20% of four-star generals. Meanwhile, a huge pro-democracy win in Australia where the Labor Party crushed it—ALBOWS UP, mates. Buckle up—Ben, Brett and Jordy discuss it all.

Let them eat cake. Donald Trump's central planning department is now saying that little girls should only get two dolls, not 35 dolls and only a couple of pencils, not 250 pencils. These are actual words that Donald Trump repeated over and over again in the past 48 hours. Also, no deals.
Donald is saying because he hasn't been able to secure any deals as part of his disastrous trade war, he may just start to make up his own deals. in his mind and declare what the tariffs are going to be for each country? Isn't that what you did already that got us into this mess in the first place? Okay, Donald. Donald Trump also posted an AI image of himself as a pope.
He called for reopening Alcatraz. He called for tariffing movies produced overseas. He hung out with the leader of the Proud Boys at Mar-a-Lago, Enrique Tarrio. He says he doesn't know if the Constitution applies to him. He doesn't think migrants should have trials. Oh, and they're cutting, what, 20% of the four-star generals? Oh, and the week has just begun. Also...
Elbows up a big victory for the Labor Party in Australia, which is their left-leaning liberal party there. The Trump-backed MAGA party over there, which is their liberal party, their conservative right-wing party is called the Liberal Party, led by Peter Dutton, had a humiliating defeat on Saturday.
The Labor Party had a massive, massive victory, a huge repudiation of Trump and MAGA because the Peter Dutton party liberal candidate, which again is their right-wing party, was Timu Trump.
They're like the Maple Maga Pierre Poliev and the way Pierre Poliev in Canada lost his seat, lost his riding, although he basically shook someone down, a conservative in Alberta, to then take that person's riding. Same thing here with Peter Dutton, who lost his own seat in Dixon. And there the right wing party had a massive defeat. Let's bring in Brett and Jordy. We've got a lot to discuss.
A lot has happened over the past 24 to 48 hours. And it looks like Donald Trump spiraling out of control just continues to accelerate. It was funny, but I saw some of the comments and they were like, Ben, when you say total meltdown. We always think that's clickbait and you're exaggerating, but you're right. It is a total meltdown. I go, what else do you want me to call what this is?
I'm just literally observing what I'm seeing right now. I don't know what else to call it.
Hey, listen, if we're making videos about like Mitt Romney speaking about like his views on tax policy and we were like Romney goes psycho, I totally get it. If you guys are like, come on now, come on. But like literally this guy goes psycho and has meltdowns every single day. Like let's not act like what we are seeing is normal stuff. You will own less and be happy.
