Free D.C. Free D.C. Free D.C. Free D.C. Free D.C. Did you hear that? Free D.C. Free D.C. The entire crowd at Audi Field in Washington, D.C. erupting in chance against the Donald Trump regime to free Washington, D.C. from Donald Trump's fascist control. That's what was taking. place last night at Audi Field. That's where the professional women's soccer or football team, if you're in Europe, it's where they play soccer. And you had the entire crowd there chanting that as Donald Trump was flying back from his disastrous trip in Alaska from that meeting with Vladimir Putin where there was no ceasefire, where Vladimir Putin and his foreign minister,

Sergei Lavrov, were mocking Donald Trump, mocking the United States. Lavrov showed up. in a U.S.S.R shirt to make a statement, an imperial statement against the Trump regime against the United States, against Ukraine and Europe. But back at home, the wannabe fascist, Donald Trump, who was flying back, was greeted, or I should say, got a rude awakening from that crowd right there. You know, they say a picture tells a thousand words. Look at Donald Trump, frail, weak, sickly with Vladimir Putin right there. as though Putin's his daddy. It's so weird to see that. Look at this photo right here of Putin kind of shouting and Donald Trump looking completely and utterly lost. Take a look at this photo right here. Can you spot the difference? Donald Trump basically getting lectured with a finger pointing in his face

by Vladimir Putin and then Donald Trump attacking Zelensky when Zelensky went to the Oval Office. I'll show you this video as well. We could pull it up right now. Donald Trump forced the United States military to go down on its knees and roll out a red carpet for Vladimir Putin. You can see right there. That's a video that they keep replaying right now on state regime media in Russia. They also keep replaying this video right here of Donald Trump standing and waiting like a pet poodle, as Will Stansel puts it, for a murderous foreign dictator who kills America's friends and allies trying to suck up to him by.

rolling out a show of the armed forces that mostly exist to fight that very dictator. You see Donald Trump clapping like, oh my God, oh my God, Putin is here to see me. Oh, my God. I mean, it was just so utterly embarrassing. Look at this photo right here of uniformed American soldiers on their knees rolling out the red carpet. Again, just a horrific sight right there. Also, the Midas Touch Network was the first to publish this video of Donald Trump not being

able to walk straight on that red. carpet. Zieg, zigzag, zigzag, zigzag. Donald Trump showing signs of dementia, not suggesting that he has it. I'm just saying that people who have dementia behave like this, and Donald Trump cannot walk straight. That became a major news story as well. Olga Nistarava posts the following. Look at the before and after meeting pictures. This is what it looked like when Donald Trump was sucking up to Putin. And after the meeting, look how defeated Donald Trump. Look, oh, looks like Donald Trump was about to puke in this photo. I mean, look, so I don't need, just what a sick individual.

Like, what a disgusting individual inside and out. Here was Putin in the limousine, just laughing at Donald Trump, mocking America. Peter Alexander over at NBC, he had this take when Donald Trump and Putin came out of their meeting together. One of the things that Alexander noticed, and we heard this across the board from all of the media that was in the room. It wasn't just Trump that looked defeated. It was his entire team. They were sweating. And all of Trump's delegation looked like they just lost. Like, I don't even know. Like, their faces were oozing loser. Here, watch what Peter Alexander has to say play this clip. What struck me, Jen in particular, was really just the looks on the faces of a lot of the

American delegation here. Caroline Leavitt, the press secretary, Steve Whitkoff, who came into the room, then left quickly, then came back in. Levin appeared to be a bit stressed out, anxious. Their eyes were wide, almost ashen at times. Those were some of the sort of images that are going to, that I'm going to stick, will stick with me as we leave here. This was not the way the president likes to do things. He likes to be the producer of this presidency.

He got that in the first half of the day. But when he was behind closed doors with Vladimir Putin, it looks like he didn't come away with anything that he claimed he wanted. He said he'd go home unhappy if there was no C-C-C-Cy. fire. They didn't declare one here today. And we all know this was a disastrous meeting. Trump promised that there would be a ceasefire from this meeting. But Donald Trump's a fraud. He lies about everything. He said there would be peace in Ukraine in 24 hours. Donald Trump also said that if there was not a ceasefire, he would immediately walk out of the room and impose sanctions against Putin. That's

what he said. We have tons of tape of that. But when Donald Trump, you know, his lies and says these things. He just goes, oh, I was being sarcastic. I was joking. I didn't really mean all of these things. And you just think of the brave Ukrainians who have stopped and repelled Russia's invasion. So many have lost their lives in Ukraine. And this is the behavior of the United States President. Frankly, it is humiliating right now to be an American with Donald Trump as the leader. It is shameful to be an American right now with Donald Trump as the leader. It is embarrassing right now to be an American with Donald Trump as the leader who embarrasses and humiliates us each and every day. What a vile piece of trash human being, whatever you want to call him he is.

So Donald Trump then goes on Hannity. And Hannity is like, so on a scale from one to 10, how would you rate your meeting with Putin, right? This was an F. This, if you can get a worse grade than an F or a worse number than a zero, that's what this was. But Donald Trump says, you know, I give it a 10. 10 out of 100? No, Donald Trump says, this was the perfect meeting. This is what we wanted. This is what we wanted. Here, play this clip.

If you had to grade it on a scale of 1 to 10. So I think the meeting was a 10 in the sense that we got along great. And it's good when two big powers get along, especially when their nuclear powers. You know, we're number one. They're number two in the world. Well, then Donald Trump is asked by Hannity in the evening. Okay, so what's your advice to Zelensky now?

And Donald Trump's like, my advice is, you better make a deal because Russia's strong and you're weak. So you better make a deal, Zelensky. That's your advice. Why'd you go? What was your purpose of being there other than to buy Putin time so Putin would not get sanctions? You gave Putin a propaganda moment that Russia would only wish in their wildest dreams. You've empowered Putin. You've empowered other authoritarian.

What the hell did you do, you traitor? that's what you are you're a traitor Donald here play this clip what would your advice based on today when you talk to Vladimir Solensky what's your advice is to make a deal make the deal gotta make a deal yeah look rush is a very big power and look I've got the receipts was this you earlier this week at that weird Kennedy Center event where you had those two women in the evening dresses unveiling photos of Sylvester Stallone while you said the following when you were asked, will Russia face consequences if they don't agree to a ceasefire? Remember what you said?

I do. Here, play this clip. Will Russia face any consequences if Vladimir Putin does not agree to stop the war after your meeting on Friday? Yes, they will. There will be consequences. There will be. There will be, I don't have to say, there will be very severe consequences, yes.

Well, Sean Hannity then asked you last night. Well, what about those severe consequences? Donald, what about them? Donald Trump's like, what do you mean? The meeting was great. There's no severe consequences now. This is how we wanted it to go. No sanctions. This is perfect. No sanctions for Putin. We'll come back to you in a few weeks. A few weeks. Right. Donald Trump was two weeks, 60 days, one week, three weeks, five weeks. He is a pathetic loser. He is as weak of a human. I don't know how anyone looks at Trump and says this is strong. This was the biggest sellout in American presidential history. And he just looks weak and pathetic.

you know what a strong man would do or a strong person would do the moment first up you wouldn't meet with Putin in the first place second you would set the conditions here's where we meet neutral will go to some territory with Europe there with Zelensky there if there's going to be a meeting at all and then if Putin says well I'm not doing it's a good I'm freaking meeting with you and then if Putin tries to pull this crap you walk out you say f you I ain't being around you what the hell are you doing anyway here's what Donald Trump says no consequences for Putin anymore your play this I didn't like looking. I was very sad to watch. When you talk before coming here about the consequences for Vladimir Putin being severe, I found that interesting. Severe would be defined by me. India doesn't buy your oil. The European Union won't buy it. And why in the back of my head was I thinking, wait a minute, Donald Trump just delayed possible increase in tariffs on China. Why do I think that probably President Trump was thinking ahead that maybe if you had to, that would have been part of the consequences. Well, because of what happened today, I think I don't have to think about that.

Now, I may have to think about it into weeks or three weeks or something, but we don't have to think about that right now. I think, you know, the meeting went very well. But as Noel Castler rightly points out, Trump is such a useful idiot for the oligarchs, that a lot of important stories went unnoticed because of Donald Trump's behavior. Let's cover them here. SpaceX gets billions of dollars from the government. It gives little to nothing back in taxes. Elon Musk's rocket company relies on federal contracts, but years of losses have most likely let it avoid paying federal income taxes according to internal company documents. SpaceX basically not paying federal taxes according to this New York Times article. What else while Donald Trump is a useful

idiot for the oligarchs is happening? The Trump regime spending at least 50 million of our taxpayer dollars on a public relations campaign to help Christy Noem improve her reputation. This is in addition to the hundreds of millions of dollars, potentially over a billion dollars spent on marketing campaigns to intimidate and harass the Latino community that includes images and videos of Christy Noem. Now they're paying for PR firms to help Christy Noem because she's one of the most low than detested human beings. being in history. What else? Donald Trump planning to invade Mexico under the pretext of going after cartels, an invasion plan being drawn up by the Trump regime to potentially attack the sovereign territory in Mexico, a la Putin and Ukraine, whereas Putin says denotification. Donald Trump's going to say, because we're going after cartels, we get to go into Mexico. I mean, the extent to nature of the

invasion is unclear. But they're actually planned. for that. What else is being covered up? Epstein, Epstein, Epstein. That's being covered up as well. Donald Trump literally helping convicted sex trafficker Geelaine Maxwell while Donald Trump covering up the Epstein files. Don't worry, I will do more videos on that as well. John Bolton, Donald Trump's national security advisor said Donald Trump just look tired and defeated at this meeting. Here, play this clip. Putin achieved most of what he wanted. Trump achieved very little. And I will say one other thing. I thought Trump looked very tired up there. I mean very tired, not disappointed, tired, and we'll have to reflect on what that means.

Then talk about Donald Trump caving. I want to give a hat tip to the mayor of Washington, D.C., Mayor Bowser, and also to D.C. Police Chief Pamela Smith, who stood up to Donald Trump and the DOJ, as Trump wanted to fully take over the Metropolitan Police Department and then appoint their DEA head, Cole, to run the Metropolitan Police Department. The mayor of D.C. stood up to the Trump regime. Trump's DOJ caved agreed to dramatically scale back its attempt to takeover of the D.C. police, after a federal judge signaled that violated the Home Rule Act, DC Police Chief Pamela Smith will remain in charge.

I'll leave you with this, folks. You have to stand up to this bully for all of the law firms, the universities, for all of the corporations, etc., who have capitulated to this guy, to the people like Tim Cook, who shows up there with gold bars. Your capitulation harms us all because Trump is a weak, pathetic human being.

And when you stand up to him, he backs down. So if we all could just band together and unite and push back against this wannabe fascist, weak, pathetic thing, we can stop him. The Midas Mighty is doing that each and every day. And we need to stop with all these people out there who are kissing the ring and being losers to this freaking fool who embarrasses our country. Stop it, cut it out, stand up to fascists. Let's join.

Let's be together and fight back. That's what we're going to do every day on the Midas Touch Network. Hit subscribe.
