Trumplandia’s First 100 Days: Corruption, Cult Worship, and Constitutional Arson
This isn’t a presidency; it’s a hostile corporate takeover of the American soul
Trump’s 100-Day Rampage: A Dictator’s Wet Dream with a MAGA Flag
Welcome to The Wisecrackers' Desk. I'm Tracy Rigdon, and around here, I don't play by the corporate media’s bullshit rules. I say what needs to be said; raw, loud, and unapologetically pissed off at the political freak show unraveling this country. If you're fed up with watered-down reporting and bought-and-paid-for narratives, pull up a chair, you belong here. If my unfiltered takes have ever lit a fire under your ass, helped you see through the lies, or made you laugh at the absurdity, become a paid subscriber. Your support is a middle finger to censorship, and a fist raised for the truth. Thanks for riding shotgun.
THE 100-DAY COUP: HOW DONALD TRUMP BURNED DEMOCRACY ALIVE AND CALLED IT EFFICIENCY
You don’t wake up in a dictatorship. You slide into it, inch by inch, lie by lie, executive order by executive order, until the ground gives way and you realize there’s no fucking bottom.
That’s where we are. One hundred days into Donald Trump’s second term, and the American experiment is gasping for air under the boot of a man who treats the Constitution like a cocktail napkin. While most of the country doomscrolls and downs Xanax, Trump and his merry band of sycophants are staging a slow-motion coup disguised as "governance."
Let’s cut the bullshit. This isn’t politics. This is authoritarian power consolidation, streamlined, corporatized, and hidden behind the phony curtain of patriotic rhetoric. These 100 days aren’t a reboot. They’re a reset of norms, of laws, of reality itself.
EXECUTIVE POWER ON STEROIDS: A GOVERNMENT OF ONE
Trump didn’t walk into the Oval Office in January 2025. He stormed it. And once inside, he treated every federal agency like a fucking plaything. In just 100 days, he signed 142 executive orders. That’s not governance. That’s dictation.
Congress? Irrelevant. Debate? Dead. Trump’s using executive orders the way a dictator uses decrees, to sideline institutions and silence dissent. Five bills were signed into law. Five. Everything else was a solo act. He’s not working around checks and balances. He’s pissing on them.
One of those orders created the so-called “Department of Government Efficiency,” or DOGE, led by none other than Elon Musk, a man with the temperament of a Reddit troll and the ethics of a Bond villain. DOGE doesn’t answer to Congress. It doesn’t publish transparency reports. It slashes, guts, and burns. And when the smoke clears, Musk pockets the glory while Americans lose services, jobs, and constitutional protections.
“Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, says it has saved $160 billion through its push to root out wasteful or fraudulent government spending. But that effort may also have come at a cost for taxpayers, with a new estimate from a nonpartisan research and advocacy group estimating that DOGE's actions will cost $135 billion this fiscal year.”
The Cato Institute, no bastion of liberal hand-wringing, called Trump’s executive actions “systematic oversteps” and warned of an “open constitutional crisis.” The warning’s not hypothetical. It’s fucking happening.
IMMIGRATION: ETHNIC CLEANSING WITH ADMINISTRATIVE PAPERWORK
Trump’s war on immigrants wasn’t just rebooted, it was militarized. On day one, he declared a “national emergency” at the southern border, then ordered ICE, the Postal Service, the IRS, and god knows who else to find and deport “unauthorized individuals.” No court orders. No lawyers. Just mass removals.
Over 139,000 people were deported in 100 days, many of them without due process. Trump even tried to end birthright citizenship by executive order. That’s not reform. That’s fascism with paperwork.
And if you think that’s dramatic, consider this: they invoked an 18th-century wartime provision to justify some of the deportations. Let that sink in. We’re shipping people out under laws written when George Washington had wooden teeth.
The cruelty isn’t a bug. It’s the whole fucking point. This is what happens when you elect a man who sees immigrants not as humans, but as campaign props and scapegoats.
DOGE: THE PRIVATIZED COUP WITH MUSK AT THE HELM
Let’s talk DOGE, the ultimate dystopian rebrand of corporate fascism. On paper, it’s about “efficiency.” In practice, it’s a hatchet job. Thousands of federal workers fired. Agencies dismantled. Entire departments, USAID, the Department of Education, Consumer Protection Bureau, eviscerated.
Why? Because governance gets in the way of grift. And Musk? He’s not just running DOGE. He’s turning it into a revenue stream. DOGE’s claimed $160 billion in “savings” is a fucking joke when it cost the country $135 billion in economic fallout. That’s not savings. That’s a deficit sold as a miracle.
There’s no oversight. No transparency. Just Musk and a handful of Trump loyalists cutting government like it’s a crypto rug pull. If this doesn’t make you sick, check your pulse.
THE TARIFF LIE: HOW WORKING FAMILIES GOT FUCKED
Trump’s economic policy is three words: tariffs, tariffs, tariffs. And it’s a goddamn economic bloodbath.
145% tariffs on Chinese goods. 25% on steel and aluminum. 10% on everything else. The result? A $3.66 trillion loss in the S&P 500. The worst 100-day market performance since 1974. And what did Trump say? “We’re making billions!” Bullshit. His numbers were pulled straight out of his spray-tanned ass.
Let’s break it down:
Grocery bills up 10-15%. Chinese seafood? Mexican produce? Skyrocketing.
Car prices up $4,000-$10,000 due to cross-border part tariffs.
Electronics? $150 more per smartphone. Laptops? Don’t even ask.
Annual hidden tax on households: $3,800. That’s not a glitch, it’s a working-class punch in the gut.
And poor families? They pay 14% of their income on tariff-affected goods. The top 1%? Just 0.8%. This is trickle-down theft. And Trump calls it “America First.”
LEGAL WARFARE AND INSTITUTIONAL COLLAPSE
In 100 days, Trump triggered 307 lawsuits. That’s a record, not just for a president, but for a rogue executive running wild. He’s been sued for everything from bypassing Congress on spending, to deporting immigrants illegally, to threatening judges and law firms.
Yes, threatening judges. Trump publicly attacked courts that ruled against him. He called them “compromised” and “deep state operatives.” That’s not rhetoric. That’s autocracy. And it's tearing judicial legitimacy to shreds.
Meanwhile, watchdog groups are overwhelmed. Legal scholars are issuing emergency memos. But here's the problem: the law moves slow. Authoritarianism doesn’t. Trump is outpacing every institutional remedy we have.
GOP GASLIGHTING: THE CULT OF COWARDS AND CLOWNS
Where the hell is the GOP? Right where Trump wants them: bent over, eyes closed, collecting checks from Heritage PACs and fossil fuel overlords.
Speaker Mike Johnson called Trump’s first 100 days “more productive than Biden’s entire term.” John Thune said Trump “delivered.” These aren’t leaders. They’re lapdogs licking boots.
And the base? The cult? They’ve been groomed to believe inflation is down, groceries are cheaper, and the man who lost them their jobs is their economic savior. It's not a political party anymore. It's a fucking cult of masochism and delusion.
This isn’t just dangerous. It’s a coordinated effort to rewrite truth in real time. If Trump says the sky is green, FOX News calls it sage. Then your uncle in Florida shares it on Facebook. And just like that, reality gets bent.
HUMAN COST: STORIES THEY DON’T WANT TOLD
This isn’t abstract. It’s blood and tears.
Selena B., a nurse’s aide, deported to a country she’s never lived in because her TPS status got erased by an AI flag triggered by USPS metadata.
Jose Ramirez, laid off from an Ohio plant shuttered by steel tariffs. His mortgage? Defaulted. His kids? Dropped out of after-school programs because the DOE budget’s gone.
Ethel M., a retired teacher in Georgia. Her son worked for USAID. He was axed by DOGE. She now skips her meds to afford eggs. Trump said prices were down. She calls it what it is: a goddamn lie.
These stories aren’t exceptions. They’re signals of collapse. And if you’re not next, someone you love is.
WHERE THIS SHITSTORM GOES NEXT
You think it’s bad now? Buckle the fuck up.
We’re heading for a recession. Apollo Group says there's a 90% chance by summer. The courts are jammed. Civil service morale is dead. Immigrants are being hunted. Education is gutted. Government is now a private enterprise.
And Trump? He’s just getting started.
What’s next? Weaponized DOJ? A state media apparatus? Banning dissent under “national security” grounds? It’s all on the table.
This isn’t fearmongering. It’s pattern recognition. And the pattern is fucking obvious.
FINAL VERDICT
Donald Trump’s first 100 days of 2025 aren’t a political milestone. They’re a hostile occupation.
He’s using executive power like a sledgehammer. He’s looting the treasury via Musk’s fake-ass DOGE. He’s gaslighting the economy while destroying its foundation. He’s deporting human beings like garbage. And he’s daring the Constitution to stop him, knowing damn well it’s being shredded in slow motion.
The only question left is this: What the hell are we going to do about it?
Because if you’re still on the fence, still wondering if this is just “partisan noise,” then you’re already lost.
This isn’t left vs. right. This is democracy vs. dictatorship.
Pick a side. And fight like everything depends on it, because it fucking does.
