Every once in a while I like to check out the MeidasTouch website, and see what’s new. These guys are so productive, talented, and responsive to the spirit of the moment, that I have two new ones to share, to keep up. To my knowledge, neither of these have been posted here as yet.
Here’s the first, “Trump Hides,” which gives deeper, insightful, and totally relevant meaning to the #bunkerboy moniker: his response to the protestors outside the White House has been his response to every other real challenge that’s come up.
The second is something we’d all like to see ASAP: “End This Nightmare”. It’s a bit of a remake, but it’s very well done, and everyone who’s pitched a nerf brick at their TV while watching this guy can certainly relate to the sentiment:
I hope people will help spread these videos around. Or you can make a donation to help them keep creating these powerful videos, and also (I hope) pay to get them screened where they can make a difference.
Here also is a “bonus video”, again from the same team:
The image at the top of the diary is a still, but at the end of this you can see what was happening at that moment. My suspicion is that Toddler Rump wanted a photo op with an eagle to make himself look patriotic, just like when he held up a bible in front of a church to try to make himself look “religious”. What could go wrong?

Another update:
According to the AdWeek article: the MeidasTouch team is...
staffed solely by the three siblings, with some content contributions from their 14-year-old sister.
Given how fast these guys are producing great ads, I find that amazing!
Also within that article was one of their earlier videos, which is a powerful and meaningful question originally posed by Ronald Reagan during a debate in 1980:
They responded with this video to a tweet by George Conway (with The Lincoln Project, the bigger and better financed team creating awesome videos, as most everyone here knows), who re-tweeted it, and it went viral. That re-tweet really helped them to get better known.
