No Tacos For Tyrants
Shame Is Dead, The Drunk Is SecDef, and Elon Was Just Hailing A Taxi
Donald Trump’s second term is off to a chaotic, dangerous, and shameless start. From the absurd grift of Trumpcoin and Melania’s competing coin fiasco to the reckless pardoning of January 6th insurrectionists, it’s clear that this administration has no intention of playing by the rules. In this episode, we break down the unprecedented shamelessness of Trump’s new cabinet picks, the assault on birthright citizenship, and the chilling parallels to historical fascist playbooks.
And this episode has a fan-favorite Muskwatch segment, talking about why Elon Musk’s Nazi salutes at a far-right rally is just another step in normalizing the terrible, why he seems to never criticize China, and how Trump dissed him by not including him on the Stargate announcement.
Buckle up, because this administration is already redefining how low it can go—and it’s only been a week.
