Peter Burgess COMMENTARY

I do not 'like' Trump. I got to realise how depraved the man was a very long time ago. I still remember crossing his path in Atlantic City in the 1990s just before his venture into Atlantic City casinos was starting to implode.

I am sorry ... but there is nothing good that I have to say about Donald Trump.

I am old ... fairly wise ... and scared stiff about the damage that Trump will likely do to the United States before he leaves office ... if he leaves office!

Regarding the specifics of this Meidas Touch video, the red carpet walk by Trump suggests that his physical health is not very good. As regards 'a sound mind' ... that has been missing for a very long time. The bad news in Trump's second term is that he is now surrounded by people who are very wealthy and have no inteerest in constraining Trump in any way that puts any of their wealth at risk.

There is a lot of 'wealth' in the United States. The sad situation is that it is mainly owned by a very small number of ultra-rich people who have little inteeest in the bigger picture of global socio-enviro-economic success.

The world is truly in a huge mess!

  • Donald Trump's cognitive issues continue
  • to deteriorate. They were on full
  • display during his disastrous meeting
  • with Vladimir Putin in Alaska where
  • Donald Trump could not walk in a
  • straight line on the red carpet that he
  • rolled out for Vladimir Putin. We
  • captured it first on the Midas Touch
  • Network and it became a major national
  • story after we pointed it out. You see
  • him right here zigzagging. We sped up
  • the footage so you can see it more
  • pronounced of course, but watch him
  • zigzag left to right, left to right,
  • left to right. He cannot walk in a
  • straight line. That is a classic symptom
  • of dementia. I'm not saying that he has
  • it. I'm just saying that it would be
  • consistent with somebody who does have
  • dementia or other cognitive issues.
  • We've been focusing a lot on this at the
  • Midas Touch Network for many years now.
  • The same way we've been focused on
  • Donald Trump's connections with Jeffrey
  • Epstein over the last several years

  • 1:00
  • since the founding of Might as Touch,
  • we've pointed out that Donald Trump has
  • massive, massive cognitive issues.
  • Donald Trump has yet to release actual
  • medical records before he basically
  • forged medical records from his doctor,
  • Dr. Bournestein, who has since passed
  • away. And Dr. Borstein said Donald Trump
  • forged those records, that Donald Trump
  • dictated what should be in those
  • records, and it said things like,
  • 'Donald Trump is the strongest person
  • ever to take the presidency or something
  • ridiculous like that.' Donald Trump's
  • most recent medical files that he
  • published publicly were not reports at
  • all. It was again appeared to be uh
  • written by him or at least with his
  • influence because it said things like uh
  • Donald Trump's in great health as
  • evidenced by winning many golf
  • championships. I mean that's not
  • something that belongs in medical
  • reports. Now over the past 48 hours
  • we've seen also uh very alarming signs
  • of Donald Trump's cognitive
  • deterioration. Also on Friday, I had the

  • 2:00
  • ability to introduce or Thursday, I had
  • the ability to introduce California
  • Governor Gavin Newsome, and he described
  • Donald Trump's cognitive malfunctioning
  • during a phone call that they had
  • together. We've got never before uh
  • heard details here on the Midas Touch
  • Network. But I want to talk with you
  • about what's just went down very
  • recently as well. Um so you had Donald
  • Trump uh in his press conference before
  • saying he was meeting Putin in Alaska.
  • He continued to refer to Alaska as
  • Russia. He did this several times here.
  • Play this clip.
  • And it's embarrassing for me to be up
  • here. You know, I'm going to see Putin.
  • I'm going to Russia on Friday. I don't
  • like being up here talking about how
  • unsafe and how dirty and disgusting this
  • once beautiful capital was.
  • All right. Then let's not forget two
  • weeks ago, Donald Trump went on the roof
  • of the White House and he started
  • talking about building nuclear weapons
  • on the roof. He went out there. The
  • press was the downstairs. They saw him
  • up there and they said, 'What are you

  • 3:01
  • doing up there?' And he said, 'Nukes?
  • We're building nukes up here.' The press
  • found it funny. I do not find that
  • funny. I find it to be very serious and
  • disturbing that someone in the White
  • House is saying that they're building
  • nukes on top of the White House and is
  • clearly cognitively impaired. Let me
  • show you what went down. Play this clip.
  • Mr. President, what do you want to
  • build? What are you trying to build?
  • What? Sir,
  • do you approve?
  • You say more missiles.
  • Are you building missiles?
  • What?
  • Come on, Dad.
  • Did he say missiles?
  • Taking over all of Gaza, sir.
  • Now, when Donald Trump went on the roof,
  • he also started pointing around to the
  • White House, to the grounds, to
  • Washington DC, and he was saying, 'This
  • is my money. I bought all of this. This
  • is mine. I bought all of this. Mine mine
  • mine mine. Very weird. Shouldn't be
  • normalized. Let's play this clip right

  • 4:00
  • here.
  • Looking good, Peter.
  • Beautiful.
  • What does that mean?
  • What are you doing? Four ways to spend
  • my money.
  • Can you give us another
  • We'll show you. It's just another way to
  • spend my money for the country. Are you
  • sitting?
  • Anything I do is financed by me. So not
  • contributed. Just like my salary is
  • contributed, but nobody ever mention.
  • Now, we saw other signs very recently as
  • well. Donald Trump was unable recently
  • to open up a small black box. He
  • struggled to open it up. Just watch. And
  • again, it's pretty easy to open up this
  • box here. Play this clip.

  • 5:07
  • At the Kennedy Center event, remember
  • that deranged event where Donald Trump
  • was there with those two ladies in the
  • evening dresses where he was talking
  • about giving Sylvester Stallone an award
  • while also uh spreading Putin
  • propaganda. Remember Donald Trump kept
  • on saying the word grass. He said it
  • like eight times in 90 seconds. He's
  • like, 'I'm going to make the grass so
  • good in DC. Grass. Grass. Grass. Grass.
  • Grass. Grass.' Really weird stuff. Here,
  • play this clip. We're going to be
  • redoing the parks. Redoing the grass.
  • You know, grass has a lifetime. Like
  • people have a lifetime. And the lifetime
  • of this grass has long been gone. When
  • you look at the parks where the grass is
  • uh uh all tired, exhausted. We're going
  • to redo the grass with the finest
  • grasses. I know a lot about grass
  • because I own a lot of golf courses and
  • if you don't have good grass, you're not
  • in business.
  • I don't want to also ignore the fact

  • 6:00
  • that the Trump White House has removed
  • transcripts of Donald Trump's speeches.
  • Um because if you actually read them,
  • it's very clear that there's no ability
  • to put sentences together. Uh Donald
  • Trump just rants and raves like a
  • lunatic like you just saw there when he
  • talked about grass. Uh so they've
  • removed the transcripts because when you
  • read him they're very very alarming
  • indeed. We can also never forget that
  • Donald Trump would always talk about
  • acing dementia tests about giraffes and
  • tigers and whales. Here play this clip.
  • But I said well I'm good at tests so
  • what's the story? He said, 'Well, the
  • problem is, you know, people will find
  • out.' And uh if you do badly, it's not a
  • particularly good thing. You don't want
  • to have some guy get like a disaster. I
  • said, 'Well, is that a hard test?' It
  • can be hard. I said, 'Look, I got to
  • take it because I got to shut it up.'
  • And I took it and I aced it. I think it

  • 7:00
  • was 35 30 questions.
  • And let me tell you, you know, they
  • always show you the first one like a
  • giraffe, a tiger or this or that, a
  • whale. Which one is the whale?
  • Okay. And that goes on for three or four
  • and then it gets harder and harder and
  • harder and then it's multiply 3,293*
  • 4 divide by three. They have plenty of
  • tough stuff. But those last 15 20
  • questions. Donald Trump is known to give
  • speeches where he talks about the
  • genitals of men. Uh Donald Trump was
  • saying how Arnold Palmer, this was a
  • speech a year ago or so where Donald
  • Trump said that he went into the shower
  • or people would go into the shower and
  • they would see Arnold Palmer's penis and
  • they would say, 'Wow, that's really big.
  • Really big there, Arnold Palmer. This is
  • how Donald Trump's mind is working.
  • Really uh sick stuff there. Here, play
  • this clip.'
  • But Arnold Palmer was all man. And I say
  • that in all due respect to women, and I
  • love women, but this guy

  • 8:03
  • This guy,
  • this is a guy that was all man. This man
  • was strong and tough. And I refuse to
  • say it, but when he took showers with
  • the other pros, they came out of there,
  • they said, 'Oh my god,
  • that's unbelievable.'
  • I had to say it. I had to say it. We
  • have women that are highly sophisticated
  • here.
  • With interest rates expected to drop,
  • you could save a ton on everything you
  • finance. That's great news, right? But
  • here's the thing. To cash in on the
  • savings, you need a higher credit score.
  • How, you ask? With Smart Credit. On
  • average, Smart Credit users raise their
  • credit score up to 34 points in just 30
  • days. Now, imagine it. A lower car
  • payment, better mortgage rate, and major
  • savings. Smart Credit's patent
  • technology scans your credit profile and
  • pinpoints exactly which bills to pay and
  • when to maximize your score. It's like

  • 9:00
  • having the best credit knowledge in your
  • pocket. Don't wait. Take control of your
  • credit score with Smart Credit. And be
  • ready to cash in when interest rates
  • fall. Start with your 7-day trial at
  • smartcredit.com/idas.
  • And for just $1, see how many points you
  • can add to your credit score. That's
  • smartcredit.com/mitidus.
  • Average point changes are based on
  • historical data. Individual results may
  • vary and are not guaranteed. Now, I want
  • to remind you as well that during
  • Trump's first administration, there was
  • a time where he was rushed to Walter
  • Reed Hospital. Many people were
  • suspecting that he had many strokes at
  • the time. Trump denied that he had many
  • strokes. Um, but a lot of the symptoms
  • that he showed were that of someone who
  • has many strokes. Here's a
  • world-renowned doctor, uh, David Shiner,
  • who was Obama's former doctor, and he
  • talked at that time that he thought that
  • Donald Trump may have had many strokes.
  • Let me show you this. Let's play it. His
  • inability to say words sometimes worries

  • 10:03
  • me tremendously. He is having trouble
  • word finding when he said United instead
  • of United States. These aren't words.
  • These aren't slips of the tongue. These
  • are words. He can't find them. And this
  • is happening over and over again.
  • comedians joke about it, but it's not a
  • joking matter. I think there is a a
  • neurological issue that is not being
  • addressed. If he had an MRI of his head
  • over there, I would be uh very pleased
  • because I think he needs it.
  • Is that something that could have
  • happened in a 2hour time he was there?
  • Yes, it certainly could. And it's the
  • worry that I have is that maybe he's
  • having small strokes. And you know, we
  • had that once before in the White House
  • when Woodro Wilson was president.
  • uh he his inability to find words is is
  • peculiar and has not been explained and
  • I think one has to think of it as a
  • possible neurological issue. Now Ronnie
  • Jackson when he worked for Donald Trump
  • when he was a doctor now he's a MAGA

  • 11:00
  • Republican deranged Congress member um
  • he brought up on his own he says no many
  • strokes no many strokes which often
  • times when they deny things like that it
  • kind of gives away the game. Let me show
  • this to you. Let's play the clip right
  • here.
  • There was an incident recently where the
  • president appeared to slur his words
  • while giving an address. Um, did you
  • look into what the cause of that might
  • have been at all?
  • I did. Yeah, we we talked about that and
  • actually uh uh one of my ENT consultants
  • was involved in that. We evaluated him.
  • We checked we checked everything out and
  • every everything was normal weave and
  • went so far as to do an ultrasound of
  • his parotted glands and a few other
  • things. And there was absolutely no uh
  • you know clinical findings that would
  • suggest.
  • Also over the past week or so Donald
  • Trump has continued to try to get on top
  • of the roof. It wasn't just that one
  • time I showed you there from a few weeks
  • back. Last weekend he tried to go on top
  • of the roof. The Secret Service was
  • waiting for him. Um we know that from
  • the White House press pool. Uh the pool
  • was informed that Donald Trump headed to

  • 12:01
  • the roof. We are positioned now outside.
  • It appears he canled going to the roof,
  • but the Secret Service and security is
  • still holding in place in case Donald
  • Trump shows up on the roof. I mean,
  • really, really bizarre behavior. This
  • was a video we made here at the Midas
  • Touch Network about how it seems that
  • Donald Trump has at least the symptoms
  • of front temporal uh dementia. Um, but
  • tell me what you think. But I laid it
  • out here the same way I would lay out a
  • case to a jury. Again, all my opinion,
  • but let me know what you think. Let's
  • play this clip right here.
  • And my stupid people when I wanted to
  • refute it, they said, 'Sir,
  • don't dignify it with a
  • refut.'
  • Have you been noticing peculiar behavior
  • recently in someone you know?
  • Charite,
  • someone who mixes fiction and reality.
  • The late great Hannibal Lecter. He's a
  • wonderful man.
  • Perhaps someone of advanced age you have

  • 13:00
  • known for years. Did you just see Maduro
  • Venezuela? Although it's a unbelievable
  • Venezuelan.
  • Of course, we all have our goofs. But
  • consistently odd behavior can be a sign
  • of fronttotemporal dementia, a
  • degenerative disease of the frontal and
  • temporal loes of the brain that
  • dramatically impairs cognitive function.
  • And there are some key signs to look out
  • for like slurring words. The failing New
  • York Times by an anonymous really an
  • anominous
  • struggling to find the correct words is
  • another sign.
  • The Mueller report I wish covered the
  • oranges the oranges the oranges of the
  • uh uh investigation.
  • You may also notice someone veering into
  • incoherent ideas detached from reality.
  • You know what I'd do if there was a
  • shark or you get electrocuted? I'll take
  • electrocution every single time. I'm not
  • getting near the shore.
  • Or an inability to complete simple

  • 14:00
  • sentences.
  • Saudi Arabia and Russia will re
  • other notable symptoms include impaired
  • motor function such as a wavering limb
  • and decreased balance often accompanied
  • by a signature lean or arched stance. If
  • someone you know is demonstrating
  • several or all of these symptoms, they
  • are seriously unwell. As a matter of
  • safety, they must be relieved of
  • critical responsibilities and
  • disqualified from any position of
  • authority. Remember, fronttotemporal
  • dementia is a degenerative disease.
  • Cognitive function will never return and
  • will only deteriorate further. Don't
  • ignore the signs.
  • [Music]
  • And then finally, I had the opportunity
  • to introduce California and to interview
  • interview California Governor Gavin

  • 15:00
  • Newsome recently about uh his
  • conversation that he had with Donald
  • Trump before Donald Trump sent in uh the
  • National Guard into Los Angeles. And
  • Governor Nuome described the horrors.
  • This has never been revealed before.
  • Nuome talked about the horrors of what
  • happened in that call. How Donald Trump
  • kept on talking about MAGA hats. He kept
  • on dwelling on his debate with Kla
  • Harris. And he kept on talking about how
  • he comes up with original nicknames like
  • new scum. Here, play this clip. This is
  • a guy people look up to the president of
  • United States. I mean, Mr. President,
  • it's time to act like one. Uh this is
  • real life. It's not reality TV. And uh
  • and and you got to model better
  • behavior. Um, but I just I think it's
  • sad and I think it's even worse than you
  • just described. And I'll just give you a
  • specific to that. Um, when Donald Trump
  • was just, you know, a day before he was
  • to federalize the National Guard here in
  • Los Angeles, he he called me. We talked

  • 16:01
  • on a Friday night late at night and all
  • he wanted he wanted to brag about the
  • new scum thing. He said, 'It's pretty
  • funny, isn't it?' He goes, 'Pretty
  • original.' I said, 'Well, it's not
  • original. There was this guy, Maurice, I
  • can't remember his name, but he used to
  • say the same thing. He goes, 'Hey, what
  • about my hats? What do you think?' It's
  • pretty good brand, right? Mega, you
  • know, it's pretty good. I've sold
  • hundreds of thousands. I mean, I'm like,
  • 'Are you serious? Are we seriously
  • having this conversation when you're
  • supposed to be reading me the riot act
  • about keeping people safe in Los
  • Angeles? You never once talked about the
  • National Guard. You never wanted to talk
  • about what happened in LA. It's much
  • more alarming than you think. And that's
  • why what is happening in plain sight,
  • you need to see for your own eyes. We've
  • got to pay attention. This guy is
  • unhinged. He's getting weaker and weaker
  • by the day. You saw that with the new
  • inflation numbers that came out, the
  • wholesale numbers that came out today.
  • You're seeing that with an economy
  • that's slowing down. You see that with
  • the crony capitalism where he's
  • extracting and nationalizing businesses,

  • 17:00
  • socializing, dare I say, some of
  • America's most iconic businesses and
  • doing 15% extractions. Ask Nvidia how
  • that feels. Look what's happening in
  • this country to truth and trust. He's
  • trying to censor historical facts. He's
  • trying to rewrite history in the
  • Smithsonians.
  • This is one of the great graphs and the
  • great corruption that we've ever seen in
  • US history. Billions of billions of
  • dollars have being fleeced from the
  • American people and our it's right in
  • front of us. So this is a serious
  • moment. It requires seriousness of
  • purpose and it requires us to play to
  • fight fire with fire and play by a new
  • set of rules. And I know that's hard for
  • Democrats. I know, trust me, I'm one of
  • them. But this is a real moment of peril
  • if we do not stand up. So, right before
  • he's about to send the National Guard
  • and then the military into Los Angeles
  • and California, all he wants to talk
  • about is his MAGA hat. And if you

  • 18:01
  • wants to talk about how, you know, his
  • debate with Kla Harris, you can't you
  • cannot make this stuff up.
  • Did you see the Did you see the debate?
  • Did you see the hat? You like you like
  • my nicknames? Like as though you're buds
  • while he's out there saying all these
  • horrible things while he's sending the
  • National Guard. Yeah, that's some really
  • uh sick sick stuff indeed. Um right
  • there. So again, you see the zigzags,
  • you see all of it for yourself. Really
  • strange, really dangerous stuff. And um
  • we'll keep you posted every step of the
  • way, of course, here on the Midas Touch
  • Network. But let me know what you think.
