    Jun 4 2025

    This week on 2 Idiots 1 Country, we dive into Trump’s latest MAGA math—his “big, beautiful” tax proposal that promises no taxes on tips, no taxes on overtime, and maybe no clue how to pay for it. We break down who wins, who loses, and whether this plan is a patriotic power move or just a populist ploy. From possible entitlement cuts to funding it all with tariffs, we unpack the real cost of tax-free hustle. Spoiler alert: it’s not just billionaires getting a break this time. Maybe.

    n this episode of 2 Idiots 1 Country, Shawn and Tyler break down Trump’s high-stakes trip to the Middle East and what it says about the infamous Trump Doctrine. Was it diplomacy, disruption, or just business deals? The guys dig into both sides of the aisle to make sense of it all.

    Plus, in this week’s “What Were They Thinking?” segment, each host spotlights a political facepalm moment—from eyebrow-raising quotes to outright hypocrisy. It’s smart-ish commentary from two very different brains. No filters, no credentials—just two idiots trying to understand the madness.

  • Episode 1 - 100 Days of Mayhem: Trump’s Presidential Speedrun
    May 21 2025

    Episode 1: "100 Days of Mayhem: Trump’s Presidential Speedrun"

    Welcome to our first episode! We're diving into Donald Trump’s whirlwind first 100 days in office — a period packed with rapid-fire decisions, political shockwaves, and more executive orders than a White House intern could keep track of.

    We start with the flood of executive actions that redefined how a president can steer policy solo, then move into his early efforts on border security — a cornerstone of his campaign that quickly became one of his most polarizing moves. Finally, we break down the opening shots of the tariff war, where Trump’s “America First” strategy began clashing with long-standing trade allies.

    Fast, loud, and impossible to ignore, Trump's first 100 days set the tone for the rest of his presidency. Join us as we unpack the drama, the decisions, and the impact — all with a critical eye and just enough wit to keep things entertaining.
