💡 Key Takeaways

https://trumptyrannytracker.substack.com/i/161850680/key-takeaways day 92

Trump’s Economic Warfare — His erratic tariff policies are pushing the U.S. into a recession or worse and destabilizing global markets. Prices are already spiking, and manufacturers warn of supply chain disruptions. This is not economic nationalism—it’s economic destruction.

Authoritarian Creep Is Accelerating — From ICE disappearances to digital dragnet systems, Trump is normalizing lawless, rights-violating governance. Legal immigrants, students, and researchers are the first wave—citizens are next.

The White House Is for Sale Again — Massive inauguration donations, pay-to-play Easter events, and foreign-linked corporate gifts reiterate that Trump’s governing style is the normalizing of corruption.

America’s Scientific Edge Is Being Torched — From shutting down the only national STI lab to detaining Harvard researchers and defunding cancer studies, Trump is actively sabotaging U.S. leadership in science and medicine.

The Education War Is About Control, Not Reform — Trump’s attacks on universities aren’t about oversight—they’re about silencing dissent, gutting diversity, and using federal dollars to impose an extremist ideological agenda.

🔎 What to Watch Next day 94 April 23, 2025

Trump is laying the groundwork to go after Social Security and Medicare. How soon before seniors and disabled Americans feel the full impact?

Senator explains how this is being done

The Pentagon is spiraling under Hegseth’s reckless leadership. Will Trump or Congress finally hold him accountable—or keep prioritizing loyalty over national security?

The courts are beginning to push back on Trump’s immigration crackdown. Can they stop mass deportations and defend due process before it’s too late? Ultimately, what will the Supreme Court do?

Trump is actively pressuring Ukraine to surrender. Will Europe step in and fill the leadership vacuum?

Memecoin Scandal Fallout — Trump’s $TRUMP coin scheme is already under scrutiny. Will Congress investigate the blatant pay-to-play scheme?

💡 Key Takeaways

Crypto Corruption at the Highest Level — Trump’s memecoin dinner scheme isn’t just unethical—it’s textbook corruption. Political access and White House tours are being auctioned off through crypto, funneling money straight into Trump’s wallet. The grift is no longer hidden — it’s advertised.

Weaponizing the Bureaucracy — From the DOJ Civil Rights Division to the IRS and FEMA, Trump is purging professionals and replacing them with loyalists. Agencies meant to serve the public are being hollowed out and repurposed to enforce Trump’s culture war and crush dissent.

Institutionalized Voter Suppression — Trump’s executive orders target the Election Assistance Commission to impose citizenship tests and punish states that refuse. It’s a strategic move to suppress votes—and the GOP is fully responsible.

Trump’s Ukraine Surrender Plan — Trump is pushing Ukraine to hand over 20% of its sovereign territory to Russia, recognize Crimea as “Russian,” and lift sanctions. It’s not a deal—it’s a betrayal. He’s doing Putin’s work, rewriting international law to reward invasion and genocide.
