Ep. 02: The Art of the Steal: Trump, Tariffs & Total Chaos (1/25/25)
In the second episode of Spark’dcast, Alex Station breaks down the bombastic return of Donald Trump, analyzing his inauguration speech, early executive orders, and the broader geopolitical fallout. From economic nationalism and aggressive tariff threats to militarized border policies and imperial nostalgia, Alex explores how Trump’s chaotic approach is reshaping American governance and global power dynamics. He examines the ripple effects on Canada, Mexico, and beyond—unpacking the economic and political maneuvering behind the rhetoric. Is Trump’s presidency an accelerant for American decline, or does his unpredictability create new fractures in imperialism? Tune in as Alex dissects the contradictions, consequences, and absurdities of the unfolding era.
