Guillotines, Grift, and the Friendly Skies of Corruption
Manage episode 482724991 series 3614766
This week on No Tacos for Tyrants, Matt dives into the rotting core of Trumpworld, where corruption isn’t a bug—it’s the entire business model. From meme coin scams to crypto cronies getting sweetheart deals, it’s clear the new American dream is grifting your way into the inner circle. Regulatory agencies are folding like lawn chairs, and billionaires are buying their way out of trouble by bankrolling the president’s pet projects. The swamp isn’t being drained—it’s being franchised.
Meanwhile, the hypocrisy machine is running full throttle. Trump’s cozying up to foreign monarchies, accepting luxury jets like party favors, and floating ideas like suspending habeas corpus as if civil liberties are just another inconvenience. Refugees of color are left to rot while white South Africans get VIP treatment, and critics like Hasan Piker are getting grilled at the border for their political beliefs. The throughline? Power protecting itself, dissent getting punished, and democracy being auctioned off one favor at a time.
