Programmed by professionals, the Chinese don't call him the "Builder of Countries" for nothing.

2. I like MeidasTouch, but they really don't help themselves with such video titles every day.

It makes it sound like there's a huge game change when it's just another day of the circus shit show.
Again, they have good content, but they diminish it with the every at 11 click baity titles. Greg Sargent does it unfortunately.

You are so right and it pisses me off! There are other Democratic news/content creators that do the same thing. I always look at Democrats as if they were more honorable than Republicans but when I see this I feel like they are trying to stick a hole in that belief.

7. Why Miedas Touch Is Doing This

That video already has 371,000+ views in just 4 hours since it was posted. For channels like that, it represents revenue for them directly.

I don't know how much revenue it generates, but they post many, many such POPULAR clickbait videos. Clearly, they have identified their goals.

I stoppe watchin their videos. They are always hugely disappointing and don't warrant the hype.

They're not going to stop doing this, I guarantee. We don't generate any revenue for them at all.

10. Does Trump ever really panic about anything?

No matter what goes wrong, he knows he can blame President Biden for it, and his demented howler-monkey followers will believe it.

12. At some point SNL is going to catch on to Ben Meidas' grim-faced, solemn (repetitive) voice:

"It's not looking good for Donald Trump..." segments. Always the unresolved bruising and the balance issues, sometimes the previously documented urinary and fecal incontinence (mostly the latter), but always showing "new" evidence of the latter.

Yeah, health wise, Trump's a mess. But, as much as I love Orrex's "Is he dead?" morning posts, odds are there's a bit of time to go--especially if, (as I suspect) he is getting an experimental (yet, promising) immune therapy for Frontotemporal Dementia.

But, yeah. SNL would go to town with Ben's demeanor on those constant, repetitive "TSF health" updates.
