Tariffs and Kidnappings, President for Sale — This Little Piggy Went to Market

from BlueBird on Your Shoulder · host BlueBird on your Shoulder

This episode breaks down how tariffs, market manipulation, and state power are being used as tools of personal enrichment. The hosts dissect the Greenland push, tariff threats against the EU, and the financial incentives driving foreign policy decisions, arguing that “security” rhetoric masks corruption and ego. The conversation moves into ICE operations, civil liberties concerns, and the normalization of actions that once would have been unthinkable. The episode closes by connecting economic policy, authoritarian tactics, and a growing erosion of democratic guardrails—framing it all as a presidency increasingly treated like a commodity for sale.
