Donald Trump didn’t just take a swipe at the Meidas Touch Network — he detonated into a full-blown online meltdown that exposed just how fragile and cornered his regime has become.
It started with a petty attack on Meidas Touch for airing an interview with former Attorney General Eric Holder. On his social media platform, Trump posted a clip of the interview, slapped the Meidas Touch logo on it, and launched into one of his signature tantrums. He ranted that Holder was “Obama’s sick ant,” accused him of “weaponizing” the Justice Department against Republicans, and twisted Holder’s comments about Supreme Court reform into a doomsday fantasy about Democrats packing the Court with “21 radical left activist judges.”
But that was just the opening act.
What followed was truly unhinged: roughly 400 posts in about an hour, fired off around midnight. The Meidas team sped through them on screen just to show how many there were. It looked less like a former president communicating policy and more like a man frantically hitting “share” on every fever-dream meme and conspiracy he could find.
Mixed into that blizzard of content were some of the most deranged claims yet — even by Trump standards.
In one post, Trump amplified a conspiracy theory that Michelle Obama secretly used Biden’s auto-pen in his final days to pardon key individuals, hinting that she was secretly running the White House. In another, he reshared a rant portraying former CIA Director John Brennan as a communist, a traitor, a Muslim, and a mastermind of torture and drone killings. Trump and his allies are trying to drag Obama-era officials through the mud to distract from something far more serious: their own alleged war crimes.
Because while Trump is rage-posting about Michelle Obama and Brennan, journalists and investigators are zeroing in on the real scandal: the double-tap boat strike operation off the coast of Venezuela.
According to bombshell reporting, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth allegedly ordered a “kill them all” mission against suspected narco-traffickers at sea — and when two survivors were left clinging to wreckage after the first strike, a second strike reportedly finished them off. Legal experts are calling it exactly what it appears to be: a blatant violation of the laws of war.
Trump and Hegseth are now scrambling. The Trump White House is trying to shift blame onto Admiral Mitch Bradley, head of U.S. Southern Command, claiming it was a military commander — not the Defense Secretary — who directed the deadly follow-up strike. But there’s a problem: Hegseth himself went on state media and bragged that he watched the operation live and knew “exactly” who was in that boat.
Members of Congress — including Republicans — are no longer letting this slide. Senate Armed Services Chair Roger Wicker has vowed to obtain all audio and video of the strikes. Senator Lisa Murkowski bluntly said what many are thinking: ordering a second strike on two people floating helplessly in the water does not sound like conduct within the rules of war.
The messaging from the Trump regime is collapsing under its own contradictions. A White House spokesperson insisted the second strike was lawful “self-defense” under the law of armed conflict, while simultaneously trying to downplay Hegseth’s role and push the responsibility onto Bradley. Admiral Bradley, as Meidas editor-in-chief Ron Filipkowski noted, now looks like the designated fall guy — and he’d better lawyer up.
Meanwhile, inside the Pentagon, the press corps that might have held these people accountable was pushed out and replaced with right-wing propagandists like Laura Loomer and Vince Dao, who literally bragged about taking over desks previously used by Washington Post and Wall Street Journal reporters. Photos from inside the press room show them smirking and apparently cracking open beers in one of the most sensitive buildings on earth. It’s the perfect metaphor for the Trump regime: reckless, unserious, and drunk on power.
All of this is happening as Trump’s political aura cracks. His cognitive and physical decline is now so obvious that even corporate media — long timid in their coverage — are finally asking tougher questions. A special election in Tennessee’s 7th district, a Trump +22 seat, suddenly looks competitive, and Don Jr. is online begging conservatives not to sit it out.
And circling back to where Trump’s tirade began: Eric Holder’s interview. In the full, unedited version — not the chopped-up clip Trump shared — Holder calmly explains that the Supreme Court is a “broken institution” in need of reform, and that if Democrats control the White House and Congress in 2028, expanding the Court should at least be seriously considered.
Trump tried to weaponize that conversation against Meidas Touch.
Instead, his midnight meltdown only proved their point: this is a regime panicking under the weight of its own lies, its own crimes, and its own unraveling grip on reality.
