Trump Takes a Dump on Everything that America Used to Value - Silicon Curtain



Silicon Bites Ep275 | 2025-12-18 | Trump shits on everything and everyone when they cease to be useful to him. We will go back to his first chaotic administration to understand the patterns and see what he’s learned in his second to avoid dirty laundry in public and the revolving door of sacked and disgraced aids, supporters and sycophants. We’ll also ask, what are the implications for Ukraine, and the Trump security guarantees, as well as for Venezuela and an incipient war, based on a repeated pattern of behavior in Trump that seeks to avoid all accountability, responsibility or blowback from his mistakes, actions and inactions, and clear venality that is happening in plain sight.

There’s a particular kind of political nihilism that doesn’t merely break norms — it gobbles them up and splits the bones out in your face. It doesn’t build coalitions or alliances; it burns them in a test of fealty and subservience. That demands conformity, obeyance and obsequiousness. It doesn’t govern, but dominates through humiliation, coercion and bribery, and cycles through people, institutions, and alliances like disposable diapers.
