Trump’s Presidency Collapsing as Shutdown Backlash Grows

MeidaTouch host Ben Meiselas has reported that Donald Trump’s presidency is collapsing quickly as the government shutdown sparks growing public outrage. According to Meiselas, more Americans are turning against Trump each day, frustrated by his failure to address the crisis while millions of families face financial uncertainty.

Instead of working toward a resolution, Trump has continued to spend time golfing on the taxpayer dime, a decision critics say highlights his disconnect from ordinary Americans. The shutdown has disrupted paychecks, delayed essential services, and put economic pressure on workers across the country—yet the president has opted for leisure.

Meiselas further reported that Trump has escalated tensions by sending military forces into more U.S. cities and towns, actions the White House frames as law-and-order measures. However, many observers view the move as an authoritarian overreach meant to distract from his failure to resolve the shutdown.

The contrast between Trump’s golf outings and the struggles of everyday citizens is worsening public opinion. Recent surveys show patience wearing thin even among segments of his former base. Meiselas characterized the situation as the complete collapse of Trump’s political standing, stating:

“The country is facing a crisis of leadership, and instead of rising to the occasion, Trump is choosing golf trips and heavy-handed crackdowns. The American people are seeing this for what it is—and they’ve had enough.”

With the shutdown dragging on, economic pain deepening, and unrest growing, analysts warn that this could be a turning point for Trump’s presidency. Whether he can regain control of the narrative remains uncertain, but the MeidasTouch report suggests his downfall is accelerating in real time.
