Summary

The unthinkable has happened: Donald Trump has swept the Presidency, Congress, the Senate, the popular vote—even the Supreme Court stands behind him. In today’s episode, we dive into the five emotional stages America seems to be racing through, from denial to acceptance, as a the Trumpquake sends shockwaves across the world. With Bitcoin soaring and alliances shifting, what does this all mean for the globe—from an empowered Netanyahu in Israel to an isolated Europe led by a wary Berlin? We’ll explore the billionaire backers pulling strings, the curious coalition of Bitcoiners and evangelicals in Trump’s camp, and the simmering question of whether this mandate signals peak plutocracy. Tune in as we confront the realities of this bold new era—where old rules don’t apply, and power takes on a whole new meaning.
