Devolution Power Hour Ep. 385: Trump “Death” Hoax, Supreme Court Tariffs Fight, and Tech-Military Ops

Jon Herold and Chris Paul kick off Saturday night with laughs before diving into the internet frenzy over Trump’s supposed “death” and the viral body double theories that followed. They break down how online ops spin narratives, connecting the scare event to JD Vance’s VP interview and Trump’s dramatic return with a Truth Social post about White House limestone. From there, the hosts explore the Supreme Court fight over Trump’s tariff powers, what it reveals about congressional authority, and how national emergencies expand presidential reach. They also cover Scott Pressler’s push for mail-in ballot strategies, Mark Elias’ panic over Trump’s military role in elections, and Gavin Newsom’s warning that Trump might cancel the 2026 midterms. The conversation widens to Palantir, Israeli AI programs like Lavender, and the military’s partnership with Silicon Valley execs, raising sharp questions about tech, sovereignty, and the future of elections. With their signature mix of humor, sharp analysis, and rabbit holes, Jon and Chris deliver another deep-dive into politics, power, and the strange narratives shaping our world.
